He says this: “”I would rather be in the minority on the side of justice than in the majority on the side of injustice, because I have lived a life where I saw there was injustice,” he said.”

Well said, Mr. Henderson.

Mr. Henderson is being deplorable again...back in the 60s, he was deplorable by the Dems for sitting at a lunch counter like he should have been, now he is deplorable to the Dems for thinking for himself and voting for Trump.

Mr Henderson, this deplorable teen thanks you for what you did in the 60s, so my friend (a black) and I (white) can eat together and for today,for voting for Trump.

An elderly black gentleman came into our office last week and said that he was voting for Trump. He’d been a Democrat his entire life and wanted a savvy businessman in the White House. He said Hillary didn’t have the stamina for the job.

You’re welcome for finding and posting this article.

For many years I chose to get my local news from WRAL-TV which is in the Raleigh Durham area. However, they have become way too liberal now - cannot stomach them.

WTVD-11 is their competitor in the region and now I watch them almost exclusively because they appear to be much more “fair and balanced”. So, I was not surprised that they would have this story on their website while WRAL would never do so.
