I grew up on Missionary Ridge, a Civil War battlefield overlooking Chattanooga, Tenn. In my childhood we could still find minie balls from the battle in which a young Union soldier, Arthur MacArthur, the father of Douglas, received the Medal of Honor. The war’s relics were real and tangible — I still have a few on my desk as I write — and so were the war’s perennial and tragic consequences.
I remember the smoke rising from downtown riots in 1980 after an all-white jury acquitted two Ku Klux Klansmen in the drive-by shotgun shootings of four black women. (A third Klan defendant was convicted only of reduced charges.) It was a stunning verdict. “Good God,” my grandfather, a retired judge, remarked of the jurors. “They didn’t let the facts get in the way.”

Another groveling, self hating Southerner, a so called “good Southerner.” This guy needs to redeem himself constantly to his NY masters or he will be thrown back to the provinces with no mercy.
Really??? Wow I didn’t know that...how could anyone kill children??
Churches and schools were their favorite targets for quite awhile. Someone didn’t get the memo that this wasn’t the 1800’s and if you blew up someones kid along with the church it would be national news in a couple days. It pretty quickly ended them but also crippled legitimate white pride movements to this day. (thanks a lot you inbred morons!!!)
How could anyone even THINK of blowing up kids??? In church no less???
