Town Sugar Festival sounds racist to me.

This wouldn’t have happened if there wasn’t a black heritage festival. The event should be canceled to avoid future incidents. They can also cancel black history month for that matter. Everyone should partake in American history year round.

There is a large sugar mill on the south end of Clewiston. Fitting name for a festival there.
Oh for the old days again...

The headline writer either has a great sense of irony, or is totally oblivious. But sad someone died and families are in grief.

Sponsor a White Heritage Festival and you will end up being the one who is shot.
