| Topic | Bust of KKK grand wizard to be removed from Tennessee capitol |
| JlM 07/10/20 12:20:18 PM #20: | Im looking at some article because I wanted to get the Forrest Gump quote right. This is interesting : Forrest would eventually grow disillusioned with the KKK and other white supremacist groups of the era and, after only a year of being Grand Wizard, attempted to dissolve the Klan and ordered that their robes be destroyed. After publicly distancing himself from the Klan, Forrest came to the defence of the black community in August 1874, after four black men were arrested for defending themselves against lynch mob who attacked them at a BBQ. Forrest then wrote to the then Tennessee Governor John C. Brown and offered to exterminate the white marauders who disgrace their race by this cowardly murder of Negroes" Weird. It's rare someone just wakes up one day and is like "Whoa, maybe I should stop being a fucking shithead". --- Posted with GameRaven 3.5.2 ... Copied to Clipboard! |
