Christ, what a subliterate arsehole (not railing on people who can’t read, but on newspaper publishers who can’t write).

I’m sure it’s racist but the grammar is truly repugnant

The 1919 video missed an opportunity to include some very interesting history from 1919. On May Day of that year tanks were used to suppress a march in Cleveland. If anyone can make it to Cleveland we’re hoping to complete the march.

As someone who lived in Alabama for 9 long, unfortunate months… there is literally nothing batshit racist enough that it would surprise me coming from this state.

Native Son here. You are spot on.

The trouble is that we’ve become averse to asylums and keeping the lunatics under close observation. We moved to a “care in the community” model a while back, and 45 just decided that even those who were still locked up should be encouraged out and put back in the community, but with zero care or supervision.
That someone who cannot grasp logic, nor write a coherent paragraph, should be the owner of a newspaper is tragic, but at least we know where he is and what he’s doing. I dare say he might receive some advice as a result, if not treatment, sadly.

Oh god this is what stood out for me as well. In addition to him being a dick, of course. Just terribly written.

This socialist-communist ideology sounds good to the ignorant, the uneducated, and the simple-minded people.
And yet this man is against it. What gives?

Maybe his publication provides a valuable service to the community.

There are so many things wrong in such a short block of text. I am amazed.
Said text reads much better in the voice of Boss Hogg though. Give it a try.

Slaves, just freed after the civil war, were not stupid. At times, they borrowed their former masters’ robes and horses and rode through the night to frighten some evil doer.
What in the hell? Is he suggesting blacks in the south some times pretended to be the KKK to police their own? Or is he referencing some other nugget of history I am unaware of?

on the other hand, i can see not wanting to give his paper and website the advertising revenue due to clicks, too.

He didn’t make it OK to spout this kind of shit. NOTHING AND NOBODY COULD EVER MAKE IT OK TO SPOUT THIS KIND OF SHIT. All 45 did was give gorillas what they think is an excuse.
And I apologize for slandering gorillas.

I don’t think that there is any question that there is a lot of money available to white supremacy in the US.

Yes. So far as I can tell he is trying to say that slaves could and would ask to borrow some things from their former masters with whom they of course had good relations. Then they would act like superheros donning their KKKapes and fighting evil as true “Social Justice Warriors” protecting their, now fallen but sure to rise again, poor masters.
It’s not even that unusual for this kind of racist. In these stories literally everything radiates out from Slave-Owners = Good. Their slaves loved them and loved the society they lived in. Everyone loved them. Then one day the True Evil came and tempted Eve with the Union and the poor slaves were ripped from their loving masters. Now the downtrodden South unjustly bears the world’s scorn but they soldier on like Jesus dragging the Cross…
So much of the same narrative it’s really creepy. But I see where it comes from too. My own mother was always told that her family, however, wasn’t cruel. No, their slaves loved them. In fact, lots of slaves were happier than people think back then. That is literally what people are told from birth. It’s not surprising that it continues to endure, it’s a very convenient lie for white southerners.The point isn’t to persuade outsiders or be believable, it’s to preserve the lie.

This is what passes for an “editorial” in Alabama?
And this guy is complaining about “simple minded” people?
