This was horrible, and I remember it well.

Something else I remember is how the subhumans in the lamestream media descended on the town of Jasper and tried to stir up racial strife.

Disgusting and shameful.

Well as they say if it bleeds it leads.

How did the media try to turn this into race feuds in Jasper? Actual rabble rousing in black crowds?

********************************
Beaufort SC had the same problem in 1907 when they had a devastating fire.

The resolution of Mr. F. H. Christensen, as follows, was then unanimously adopted.

Resolved, That the Secretary of this meeting communicate with the Savannah Morning News, condemning in unmeasured terms the article contained in that newspaper of the 21st instant.

The following is the communication of the secretary:

Beaufort, S. C., Jan. 21 — A mass meeting of prominent white and colored citizens of Beaufort, S. C., hereby express their unqualified condemnation of your report published in the Morning News of January 21, headed “Troops Sent in to Beaufort to Hold Negroes in Check”. The implication that the two races did not work in harmony for the preservation of life and property or that there was at any time during the fire friction or ill feeling between them is a gross injustice to this community.

S. H. Rodgers,
Chairman.

R. R. Legare,
Secretary.

*”Where the carcass is the ravens will gather.” It was the would-be ravens who started the dissatisfaction as to the guard. The better people have little to say.

*Another visitation of the Savannah Photographer would be a calamity just now. He is too “yellow” journalistic for our conservative people. But he was advertising himself, don’t you know.

*We saw no attagonism (sic) between the two races. The would-be looters had disappointment lines in their faces.

*Considering their losses, our people show wonderful nerve, especially the women.
