Bakeman said. “We need to acknowledge that and maybe that will help us to move forward.” MAYBE. Doubt it.

This city will never amount to anything again! There is a very visible group of black racists who will never let this city amount to anything! These people have their own agenda and that includes blackmailing the people of Greensboro at every possible opportunity. They are able to do this because the white leaders for decades have allowed them to do this. There is also a niche group of socialist/communists who continuously stir the pot, and the fact that there are so many young black students in town who are very easily manipulated. What happened that day could have happened anywhere, but because all we can do is sit around and wring our hands and feel remorseful we will never get beyond it.

So the racial agitators which seem to run this town now have the city council looking at this again. And the News & Record is more than willing to help them stir things up. I smell a shakedown coming.

You would think with all the concern about animal rights, they wouldn't keep beating this dead horse.

This was a fight between the KKK/Nazis and the Communist Workers Party. Nothing more

I'm so happy that our local government has solved all the other pressing problems in our city today and can now dedicate so much time to this issue.

I doubt if Nelson Johnson gives up any time soon, considering that there's money to be made in picking at old wounds until they fester and burst open yet again. Example: Nelson and Joyce Johnson received $100,000 from The Atlantic Philanthropies in December 2008 for "launching the Truth and Reconciliation Commission TO HEAL OLD WOUNDS (emphasis added)." (from the website of The Atlantic Philanthropies)

Come here, Nelson, and tell us the "success" you have had thus far "heal(ing) old wounds."

can you say.......... beating a dead horse...

Yes, it has been 30 years ago, but judging from these comments, not much has changed, people were killed, and injured, and like one person posted, there is no statue of limitations for murder, and it was cold blooded murder committed by the most infamous terrorist group in the world, the neo-nazis, and the kkk, and to the ignorant person who posted the comment "say they're sorry, and cut them a check, I'm sorry people like you exist, and you need to crawl back into that hole you came out from

gso me - You say you are not racist nor black, so you must be a carpetbagger. The problem most folks found (and still find) with the Truth & Reconciliation "process" is that it's real reason is just to continue to stir up racial tensions. As has already been said, there is a group of blacks who hate other races and wish to stir up as much controversy as they possibly can. Look at all the other stuff that is happening in Greensboro that supports my contention.
I grew up in the South mostly before the Civil Rights Act and never had any ill feelings towards blacks or any other race. My work and travels took me all over this country and to some others where I was able to interact with most ethnic groups. When I came to Greensboro, I still had no ill feelings towards anyone. That has changed and I will admit that I am now a racist towards most blacks, but not any other race. How did this happen? I have been and continue to be treated with disrespect by the majority of blacks that I encounter. Mind you, I do run across a few that are sincerely friendly and courteous, but they are exceptions.
There are few places that one can go in Greensboro without encountering rude black folks. When I walk into a fast food (staffed mostly by blacks) they go into slow motion, but if a bro or sis walks up to the counter, they're eager and ready to take the order. When I go to any restaurant to dine, if there are blacks present, you know it without even seeing them. For some reason, they have to talk very loud and do a lot of loud laughing.
On Monday, I sat at my table and watched a group of middle aged black men, which also included a uniformed GPD officer, make comments about the "booty" of the young lady who was serving them. One of them talked "trash" to her every time she came to their table, which made her quite uncomfortable. Another young lady, who was trying to complete her paperwork to work at the restaurant, made the mistake of sitting at the table next to theirs. One of them kept talking to her and, not to be rude, she responded. This resulted in it taking an awful long time for her to complete the paperwork. The manager kept coming to see if she had finished and obviously observed what was happening, but since he was also black, he didn't say a word to those fellows. I could write volumes on this sort of thing; you get the idea.
Sorry to go on about this, but now you can see why I'm racist towards most blacks.

Unlike the protestors or the residents of Morningside, the police found out that the Klan were coming that day. The police knew where protestors and Klan were that day. But the police failed to tell the protestors or the residents of Morningside of the potential for confrontation. The police failed to stop, question, or delay the Klan motorcade to prevent a confrontation, and the police failed to have a presence at Morningside to protect the residents, most of whom were also clueless about what was happening on their doorstep or why. In other cities, you always see a police presence at protests -- especially Klan protests. Thanks goodness no children were hurt.
