Tensions were still high Wednesday morning on day two of the start of the removal of the remains of Confederate leader Nathan Bedford Forrest and his wife from UT Health Sciences Park.
One man even tried to burn a Confederate flag in front of our cameras before police stopped him.
“This represents pain and suffering to people of color for hundreds of hundreds of years,” said Larry O’Kelly.

His reaction was in response to an encounter between Shelby County Commissioner Tami Sawyer and several men wielding Confederate flags, who taunted Sawyer at the site the day before.
quote:
Millar said once the remains are removed, they will be moved to a location in Columbia, Tennessee, along with the Nathan Bedford Forrest statue.

"People of color" must be terribly incompetent humans if this is their reality.

One picture that explains what’s wrong with this country.

We're digging up bodies now? And their wives?
It was never going to just be statues.

I wonder how people being sold in a modern day slave trade on the other side of the world feel about this.

Damn ole Nathan just can’t help but making the natives slaughter each other by the thousands each night in places like Chicago and New Orleans even from the grave.
Maybe this will bring an end to all the violence

Yep. Just keep compromising.

Now they’re digging up graves. It’s like they just look for anything to get removed or canceled. I bet less than 2% of people even knew who was buried there

Yes, it is. But the good "conservatives" will keep compromising.

Cmon you heartless bigot. I still weep nightly from Muslims enslaving my ancestors hundreds of years ago

Bet you $100, the average person doesn't know who General Forrest was.

So how many black people knew where a confederate soldier was buried off the top of their head without looking it up then saying they are offended?
