He was anything but a horrible person. A lot of his attitudes were from the era in which he grew up, and even those attitudes softened in his later years. Most of his black workers loved him. He was kind gracious and charitable.
This is one last jab from a screaming liberal news rag that despised Mr. Bessinger and anything Confederate. Most of what is printed here is slanted and taken out of context. They found not one kind thing to say, and he was a very kind man. RIP, sir.
May your find eternal rest in the arms of Jesus Christ, Mr. Bessinger.
So many Freepers are so I’ll informed and suffocated by post 1990 narrative
Bless their hearts
Must really pump them up to feel so superior to all who came before them
RIP to a very fine gentleman.
Now, how many times in your life have you read an obituary that did nothing but attack a man not only for his political beliefs, but more importantly his Christian beliefs?
While Maurice Bessinger’s political beliefs may be a bit antiquated after being relegated to a remote outpost of the American political spectrum by secular leftist agitators and their media lapdogs, he had the determination and the right to express his views under the auspices of his private business and the rights guaranteed to him under the Constitution.
The bitter irony would be that in the end, it was those same secular leftists, who in theory championed an end to the Southern institution of segregation that in fact attempted to force Mr. Bessinger and his private business to become an actual victim of their wicked form of social and economic segregation.
