Typical out of touch oldhead who's never had to think, "Hm, is there a probability that these 30 angry white folks in rural Alabama might cause me harm?"
There's also something to be said about carrying yourself with tact. Do you think your idea elsewhere in this thread of man-handling his local government into accepting his position is going to win any favors with his constituents and community?
Oh no! The threat of violence to enforce the status quo? I'm sure 89% of people in that town have never considered that possibility. Perhaps if they just showed a bit more "tact" with the requests for equality, they would already have it by now? I'll tell you this, if an elected official actually leveraged their power to end racism, I'd be elated! But I guess for people like you who benefit from the status quo, that would just be uncouth.
You sound ignorant and like your blissfully unaware of the nature of what's actually going on in that town, giving yourself the ability to sound like a tough guy. It's embarrassing to read
