Controversy surrounds float in NC Fourth of July parade
HOPE MILLS, N.C. — Officials in a North Carolina town said they’ve received several complaints from people offended by a controversial Fourth of July parade float.
WTVD reported that the incident happened Thursday at the community’s annual July 4th parade in Hope Mills. A picture snapped by a parade-goer shows a man on a tractor flying a confederate flag and pulling a wagon loaded with watermelons. A sign on the trailer read: “White History Month. Hug WTE PPL.” Town officials told WTVD that farmer Donnie Spell applied for and received a parade permit. However, officials said Spell told them he would be pulling an antique tractor with a sign that read: “Watermelons for sale” at a nearby bank parking lot. When WTVD went to Spell’s home, his gate was locked. A neighbor said he didn’t think the man was trying to be vicious or funny. But people that saw the float thought otherwise. “This should be over, all that stuff should be over. I don’t understand why people are still living like this,” said Hope Mills resident Suzanne Singletary. Town officials said they are considering making changes to the registration process so this does not happen again. http://myfox8.com/2013/07/06/controv...f-july-parade/ |

I'm not the one that needs to realize it's 2013. The people that find saying give white people a hug as offensive need to realize it is.' Everybody is too damn sensitive.

They are more loathsome than those they hate. Which makes it a sad statement. Now R8ers is busting his buttons with pride that someone did what he's always wanted to do., its good to have heroes R8ers.
Now try adding some morality.

Does being oppressed by the same race count? The Irish were oppressed before it was fashionable.

1st admendment. You don't have to like the statement or agree with it, but as long as the phelps clan can picket soldiers funerals with the shit they spew, Muslims can riot Americans expressing their freedoms that slander Muhammad (and get an appogy from the POTUS), and as long as Bradley Manning can go defended;
Then this guy can have that float in that parade. Like it or not, agree or disagree. |
