Black Protester Attacked at Donald Trump Rally Called 'Monkey' and Other Racial Slurs, He Says

The Black Lives Matter protester attacked during Donald's Trump's Birmingham rally said he was punched, kicked and called "n****r" while a group of eight or nine people were on top of him.

Mercutio Southall Jr., a well-known activist who said he has been tased at least 30 times and just recently marched heavily –armed through a Birmingham neighborhood to teach people about gun rights, said he is sore after today's pummeling but doesn't think he was seriously injured.

He said, "I'm recording this live from the BJCC because we want Donald Trump to know he's not welcome here," and that's when someone knocked the phone out of the other man's hand.

"They said 'Go home, n****r, and somebody punched me,'' Southall said. "I punched back. You know don't do the turn-the-other-cheek (expletive)."

He said people encircled him, and he was being pushed and punched from every direction. Someone hit him from behind, and the next thing he knew, he was at the bottom of pile. He was kicked in the stomach, and the chest, both men and women. "I got enough people off of me that I was able to get up a little bit,'' he said. "Somebody got behind me and started...

Rap music and has desensitized a lot of people against all forms of “n words”.

Way to go, rappers.

One of the reasons the D.C. Chapter of Free Republic was successful was our rules on handling disrupters.

We knew that the media would make us the bad guys if we pushed back.


Heh! How did our chant go? Raoul (bless his soul) would lead us...

Not a shred of evidence anyone used the term “nigger’ Just the disrupters word.

If it actually happened as he claims, I disapprove. But I do not believe him.

No one called him a “monkey”. Maybe they called him a worthless fat slob bum...but not a monkey.

With the SMartphone and all, immediately we need to find out who these people are and get the narrative out. The 1% Mizzou kid came out 3 days too late.

Looks like CW2 is just around the corner. Soros operative instigators are working to get martial law declared by the Federal commies.
Well at least it’s good to see another example of regular Americans who won’t just roll over as they do in Europe.
