'White History' sign could prompt changes in Hope Mills parades

I don't understand how they expect to be able to censor what is obviously someone's political speech. The only Constitutional way for them to do so, would be to simply not have the parade.

Are they going to have a line on their sign-up form next year asking for the text of any signage? If the law means anything, they wouldn't have a leg to stand on. It is a bit of a question though, whether or not we actually do have rule of law anymore.

Interesting. No attempt is made in the article to explain why the sign was offensive. As if that were self-evident.

The only problem I have with the sign is that it doesn't state that "July is White History Month".

Because some people who are now dead did bad things to other people who are now dead, people today who have ONE thing in common with the bad dead people are treated as if they did the bad things.
The one thing in common is an artificial, superficial, overly broad characteristic: light skin.

The country is insane.

Silly Rabbit.
History Months are for
Blacks
Hispanics
Homosexuals
Illegal Aliens
and Transgender Unicorns.

Whites need not apply..........................

What’s offensive to some people is that Whitey isn’t bowing down and groveling and begging forgiveness for being White and willingly handing over the money that he earned honestly.

You do too... don’t be obtuse. If there was an objective standard, the elites wouldn’t have a club with which to make us submit to their will.

I’m not from the South. Born in Iowa and lived most of my life in the Midwest. And damned proud of it.

But I’m about ready to buy myself a Confederate battle flag and start flying it, just to piss off these PC clowns that presume anyone flying that flag is a cross-burning redneck.

A lot of brave deeds were done under that banner, and its history is no more an endorsement of slavery than Old Glory’s is.

So fly the Stars and Bars proudly, and to hell with the PC crowd.

His entry form for the parade lists only his antique tractors and a load of watermelons for sale.

Bet it was the watermelons that caused the trouble?.
