Surprised this hasnt been posted on this board -not shocked.

quote:

“To be 100 percent honest with you, when I made the post I wasn’t even thinking about that connection,” Dismukes said. “You know, hey, that’s on me. That wasn’t even running through my mind. There were two things that weren’t running through my mind and that’s one, the passing of Representative John Lewis and the next is Nathan Bedford Forrest’s connection to the Ku Klux Klan.

He spoke they're solely on Forests service as a Confederate leader, not as a KKK leader.


But Democrats aren't smart enough to distinguish between the two.

a fricking state rep in Alabama?

John Lewis was a liar and scumbag so he is right about that.

How could any politician be stupid enough to pose in front of a Confederate flag in today's political climate and then post it on Facebook?

Hell, if he were alive today, even Jesse Helms wouldn't purposely stand for a picture in front of a Confederate flag.

You do know that late in life, Nathan Bedford Forrest had a change of heart and spent his last years helping, educating and trying to advance black people, right?

No, you probably don’t. Those little facts always get glossed over. Doesn’t help the narrative any.

I am not an expert on this, but from what I have read, Forrest renounced the Klan at some point once it got out of control and was no longer serving its original purpose to confront Reconstruction corruption.

First, I would not go to a NBF event. With that said ...

So, Robert Byrd was a DEM Senator for I think 50 years... he started a KKK group in West Virg. I don;t recall ANY Dem asking him to resign. He dies in office just 10 years ago. I believe I read that NBF wrote about racial harmony in his later years. So what is the difference between the two. - NBF was meaner?

If Dismukes wants to go to that event that is HIS CHOICE. if people do not like it they can vote him out of office. That is the way it works.

The hypocrisy of the left know no bounds.

What happened to the OP? I guess Ms Garrison is reading a book about RObert Byrd.
