George Stephanopoulos asks Ben Carson whether it's appropriate for President Trump to give his RNC acceptance speech on August 27th in Jacksonville, given that date is the 60th anniversary of "Ax Handle Saturday" in that city, in which KKK members beat a largely black group of civil rights protesters.
Carson says that we need to "grow up" and stop being offended by everything. Invited to comment, Stacey Abrams calls Ben Carson's comment "fairly infantile."

Oh, man, I can swing a hammer with the best of them. In lieu of that, a barb wire baseball bat named Lucille works wonders......
“Ax Handle” -— Never heard of it. Not even on Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_27#Events
Juneteenth has been in the news for past several years as black supremacy has swept the country.
I remember Juneteenth “festivities” in Oakland in the 90s, specifically at Lake Merritt. My experience is the same as yours: low-key, no violence. It had the air of a festival not a protest. I personally never saw anger at any of these events.
Would that be the Democrat Party KKK?
What?... I thought she was Aunt Jemima!

Big Fat Mammy can take her headful of bean sprouts and find another place to stew. We’re not buying it. Just imagine what might be cooking under the Gold Dome if she’d actually been elected. It ain’t chitluns and greens.
Stacy Abrams, from cleaning toilets to VP presidential hopeful and a person in her own mind “I am somebody” pass the cheeseburgers and fries

Yeah, she’d use the Black Pampers err Panthers to force anything she wants.
Yes, Stacey, people like you who get offended at everything are fairly infantile.
