Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee Honors KKK Grand Wizard With Proclamation
huffpost.com
The day of observation calls on Tennesseans to honor Nathan Bedford Forrest, a slave-owning war criminal and Klan grand wizard.1 hour ago
Joe this is getting completely out of hand. We knew, of course, that folks think this way. Now they feel free to say it out loud in their capacity as a public official.
I read that he was required by law to issue the proclamation. Is that true?
Someday, maybe it will sink in and Black people, in general, will finally begin to realize that White people love and support each other regardless of their social or political affiliations. Sure, some of us become frustrated with the way things are, and we turn on each other despite the triviality of a given situation, but we need to change. That is what other people are counting on, us hating on each other.
Really Tennessee ??? Really????
Bill Lee is an admirer of the treasonous confederates. He may have close ties to the klan too. "Lee entered Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama in 1977 and graduated in 1981[6] with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering.[5] In college, Lee was a member of the Kappa Alpha Order, a fraternity known at the time for its use of Confederate imagery, and a photo printed in the university's 1980 yearbook shows Lee wearing a Confederate military uniform at the fraternity's "Old South" party.[7] In 2019, after his attendance came to light, Lee expressed regret for his participation: "I never intentionally acted in an insensitive way, but with the benefit of hindsight, I can see that participating in that was insensitive and I've come to regret it."[6]"
Hell ain’t half full yet. His master Satan awaits. He will chain the Governor to Nathan Bedford Forrest so that they can spend eternity together.
Bill Lee is one of his members, if by no means, other than spirit.
It’s Tennessee what else do you expect
The bigger question is what are big businesses going to do about it?
And the President has begun telling non whites to get out ....for this who did not see this coming....read Hitler’s Rise in your history books. Bigger damn problems than proclamations
And he still governor?
General Lee
Another example of what happens when you elect the son of a KKK leader to be the USA President . Next they will be honoring James Earl Ray for killing MLK .
I’m sure he has a hood somewhere
Right!!! What are we going to do about it! Time out for talking; time to take action against all these bigoted racists!!!
And He`s Part of USA`S Law?
Let me he doesn't think he's a racist.
White people are ecstatic right now. Trump and the republicans are pushing through every racist policy they can while they’re in power. The immigration issue has them thinking that most of the brown skinned...colored folks will get the boot by good ole trump and his stormtroopers.
TRASH...RACIST ASS TRASH AT THAT
Can you imagine if President Obama said to go back to Poland, or Ireland, or Greece, or whatever white European country your ancestors left?
I would denounce it! And Republicans would have a fit. That's what President Trump has done.
Trump's most openly racist rhetoric yet is not at all surprising
cnn.com
The most shocking thing about Donald Trump's racist tweets is that possibly the most fundamentally un-American outburst of modern presidential rhetoric did not come remotely as a surprise.2 hours ago
It’s obvious that this president isn’t going to conform to the Americans idea of a leader to be looked up to, and promote family values and togetherness, but instead, he’s taking up back to Jim Crow ideas and behavior, which causes division amongst the different Races of people. It’s high time to vote him out of office or Impeach his Rump...
I don’t understand why Nancy Pelosi, at least, don’t start an impeachment inquiry... that RACIST, on Pennsylvania Avenue has this country on edge daily. No rest until he has crawled back in his cave!
Not alarmed at all....he's getting away with it from the mealy-mouth Republicans, so he's gone to push the envelope farther, just watch and listen.
Blacks are not surprised at what Trump said! Most blacks have been told to go back to Africa or if you don't like it leave the country! Trump is speaking for his base of supporters! How many times have you heard them say that Trump speaks for them! I don't know why the media is making such a fuss because they know Trump is not saying anything thst hasn't said before and often! It is hear it on FB all the time I was told just a few days ago, when I spoke on something I disliked, to leave the country!
Trump is the real racist here and need to get the hell out of the country.
He is repeating the words that so many of them will love ❤️ to say, they love those type of sentences.
We know who the real bigots are, turkey
And yet Congress, in their infinite wisdom, does absolutely nothing to condemn the behavior. Pitiful. Just pitiful!
The SILENCE is Deafening! The worst type of Racism is the type that is Ignored, not Confronted, or held Accountable!
At least quote your president correctly,turkey
And he said it to/about women.
Sadly... the Florescence of some people skin and the fear that they have on being treated the way they overlook others mistreatment isn’t surprising at all... I read that silence is a form of consent !!!
Joe Madison this is a shell game that 45 is running on the core news media. We need to stop giving coverage to his foolishness. It is a distraction and is not of value in addressing issues. It is good for headlines but after we finish being a appalled he has further galvanized his core supporters. If the major networks got together and collectively stopped reporting on 45’s nonsense (tweets, racist rants and immigrant slurs)people could focus on real issues. We are fully aware of who he is. I am no longer shocked by anything he does. Fox is not going to report on anything that makes 45 look bad so the shell game would be stopped. We gotta stop falling for his game.
Hmmm...perhaps we should consider the horrible things these ladies have said to and about the President. They are not little innocent little peaches who have never been aggressive or hateful themselves. Just a thought.
I guess I should tell my next-door neighbor (who happens to be a good guy), "Go back to Scotland!"
He's being true to his nature and his supporters love for it.
lol, this is what I've been saying this whole morning. It is actually racists to say that Trump is limited to what he can say based off someone's skin color. By your comment you are saying that if Obama would have said it about white people you would have been mad but you didn't address if he would have said it to the same people Trump did. You are saying that people are treated differently based on differences in skin color which is the foundation of racism. Why don't people see this?
All I am going to say is WHAT IS TAKING KRAMA so Long????
Focus brothers and sisters. Remember Epstein did a plea deal so Inept45 could be implicated
They LOVE him because he’s a openly racist and deep down most of them are too, that’s why they don’t say ANYTHING
The European countries wouldn’t take them back, not to mention they wouldn’t fit it.
Just a distraction. Somebody got arrested in New York recently, and the prosecutor has pictures and names. Oh has Muller testified yet? 😳🤔
crying about this is not going to change anything--- we all know what this man is about and what he represents... the ultimate question is 'what are you going to do about it'?
Three America’s, one White, one Black, one Brown. Separate laws, separate justice systems, etc. You are right, If Obama had said this, they would’ve tried to impeach him! Oh, I forgot, Obama has too much class!!! Get a clue 45 and say bye bye to the Presidency!!!
Observe the 45 base followers & their actual comments—You can actually see that people have NO idea what racism or racist behavior is! The comments are absolutely crazy! Their comments lead you to believe that they will never be able to understand unless they have been affected.
