Remember it was in 1996 that the dems were running ads that said that if republicans are elected, more black churches will burn. Other ads paired Gingrich and others with David Duke and hooded Klansmen. Of course, the entire, “black church burnings surge” turned out to be mostly intra-congregational conflicts, and in many cases, insurance fraud. I remember one instance where a group of drunk, white teenagers set fire to a church, that happened to be a black church, but since they weren’t from the area, they had no way of knowing that at the time.
And remember Plugs Biden warning “they’ll put y’all back in chains.”
I believe that was here in Alabama, and even further it was revealed that the “teens” (college students) weren’t a group of redneck fundamentalists, but rather Wiccans who hate Christians.
