1898 Riot Wounds
Apparently some people are still suffering "injuries" from 1898. So walking will heal those open sores, somehow. And as usual, the reporters about historical facts simply choose to ignore facts.
The 1898 riots in Wilmington were not about race. Instead, the riots were a political action. Most reports today about those riots forget to publish the truth -- that it was Democrats who moved in and killed Republicans because the Republicans were in control of government. Democrats said that they were putting down the "black devil" Republicans in attacking, killing, and driving them out of their homes and businesses. Democrats, with deadly force, overthrew a Republican government because the Democrats hate competition. The color of people's skin was a secondary trait in this battle. And yes, the news reports continue to omit that the Republicans were black and the Democrats were white. So it continues today, with blacks typically identifying with Democrats -- the ones who attacked and killed blacks for disagreeing with them. But hey, November 10th people will walk, and all will be forgiven. I wonder if blacks will be allowed by Democrats to be Republican again after the walk -- or if they'll continue to be told to vote Democrat or be killed again.

This story is akin to your recent post on the noose.
Why does it seem that everything is immediately about race? I don't get it. There hasn't been slavery in this country for 142 years. But somehow, there are still wounds. Anybody alive in 1898 would now be at least 109 years old!! It would be like me saying I have wounds from the Roman Coliseum where my Christian ancestors were killed for sport.
It is like what is happening at Western Illinois University, where a history club put up a poster that said "Don't get hung up in your studies" and showed a picture of a Gallows with noose. The Black Student Association took offense, and has made a mountain out of nothing. As soon as the history club was told someone found the poster offensive, they took them all down. But still, the BSA suggested that the History Major be changed to include mandatory a black history course (and what is the difference between black history and American history). What are kids being indoctrinated with when they still feel the "wounds" of something that happened 150 years ago.
Sorry to rant for so long. Just felt I needed to air out my frustration.
p.s. Just for the record, it was the Republican Party that was running the government when slavery was abolished.

It's about race because people want to be victims. People want stuff for free, and victims get free stuff. It's about race because a certain segment of society financially profits from claiming that slavery is just around the corner.
I once attended a "black political caucus" meeting. It was utterly unreal. It sounded like slavery had ended just yesterday and if anyone in the room dared to vote Republican, slavery would be re-instituted the next day. And yes, those speaking got piles of cash for speaking and saying those things.
It's truly sad that Martin Luther King's legacy has been so perverted.

The Black History course will likely turn out to be a Marxist Indoctrination Class.
Every one I have ever attended was so.

Well, those who teach black history typically need to have government force their ideas on other people -- because no one would accept them any other way.
