Politicians in Tennessee at Odds Over Former Leader of KKK

NASHVILLE, TN — Tennessee state officials are divided by more than just the colors of their respective political affiliations.

After an email was released from Tennessee Democratic Party Chairwoman Mary Mancini that linked last week’s Charleston killings to a 1940 murder of a West Tennessee NAACP activist, her Republican counterparts vehemently denied any overt racism that occurred in the state. Republican Party chairman Ryan Haynes accused her of looking to raise funds from the unfortunate incident. “They’re trying to profit from a horrific situation. That is inappropriate in every sense of the word,” Haynes said. “It’s disrespectful to a community that is still living this horror. It is highly disrespectful to those who lost their lives last Wednesday night in Charleston.”

Mancini’s actions aren’t the only issue here. Republicans and Democrats are currently in opposition over the possible removal of the bust of former Confederate Army General and Ku Klux Klan leader Nathan Bedford Forrest from the state capital building. U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper, D-Tenn., and state House Minority Leader Craig Fitzhugh, D-Ripley, are both calling for the removal of the bust of the Klan leader, stating that it has ‘no place in the Tennessee statehouse.’

The white supremacist general, who massacred 300 Melanoid soldiers during the Civil War, and served as the first Grand Wizard of the KKK, has had a bust statue in his honor located in the Tennessee state capital building since 1978.

    Seeing how Republicans have conducted themselves during this incident in Charleston; I don’t see how any Black person could ever vote for any of them.

    Many black folks think they’re being brilliant and cutting edge, as it relates to political thought and assessments, when they consider venturing into Republican politics, or when they make comparisons with the Democratic party. The Democrats are far from perfect, when it comes to black interests, but the Republicans are so out of the ballpark, and overtly white supremacist-to where I’d have to question the intellectual wherewithal of those black folks that would even give them slight look

    When will we get it? The tragedy that happened in Charleston,S.C. last week was definitely disgusting. But what we have as Black/Melanoid people had better realize: we have no real allies or friends except us. I have been toTennesee last winter. Even though i did not experience any overt racial nonsense, i could sense my presence was not wanted being that i was in Nashville,aka country music land. If any of us really think that other groups,in particular,caucasians/whites, really give or gave damn about 9 black ,religious people at that,are dead because one of their racist recruits/soldiers assassinated them, then you are sadly delusional. Just my opinion. Peace.
