Vandals knock over monument for Michelle Obama ancestor

REX, Ga. — Police are trying to figure out who knocked over a monument dedicated to an ancestor of first lady Michelle Obama.

“When I saw it, I shed a few tears,” Vicki Smith told Channel 2’s Linda Stouffer.

Smith helped get the monument to Rex. It’s a tribute to Melvinia Shields, the great-great-great grandmother of Obama. Shields was born into slavery in 1844 and later moved to Georgia.

Clayton County Commissioner Sonna Singleton said the monument company will have to lift the heavy stone to check for cracks after someone pushed it off the foundation block.

“It was our little source of pride because here we are in little old Rex, Georgia, and we had ties to the White House, so there's pride in us for that,” Singleton said.

No, not a false flag at all.

Just your opinion.

False flag. Done to incite, inflame, deflect.

This is the third posting this morning on “hate” crimes against liberalism. I’ll lay odds that they’re all self-perpetrated. This is a Saul Alinsky trick.

Yup. Based on lots of similar past examples to go by.

Concerning a 170 year old shirt-tail relationship, “It was our little source of pride because here we are in little old Rex, Georgia, and we had ties to the White House, so there's pride in us for that,”

Free people simply don't think like this.

That's just pathetic. Gotta have a screw loose to want any ties to the White Hut.

Their stone idol fell upon its face to the earth. Kind of like Dagon.

Cool. the difference is that my opinion has a huge number of fake atrocities by libs and muzzies (paging Bahgdad bob and Green Helmet guy!) to reinforce it. And Al and Tawana types. But you think whatever you like.
