Let’s Make America Great Again and start burning black churches like we did in the 50s and 60s. When you give ignorant, irresponsible individuals a platform to speak this is what can happen. The racist rhetoric, although they maybe believe they are speaking in code can be decoded by a first grader. The hate and bias can be seen clear as day and election day quickly approaches so do old school American values.

The inside of a black church in Mississippi was set on fire Tuesday and “Vote Trump” was spray painted on the side of the sanctuary. Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church in Greensville, Mississippi woke up to a terrible tragedy Wednesday morning. The inside on of church is completed torched and a GoFundMe page has been set up to repair the damage done to the church.

“Greenville Mayor Errick Simmons calls this a hate crime — an attempt to frighten voters just days before the presidential election.”

Although their currently no suspects the local police are talking to a person of interest. The FBI is currently investing “to determine if any civil rights crimes were committed.”

This was a cowardly act which proves the point black Americans have been trying to make since the Presidential campaign began, racism still exists in America, it never left. Trump just gave the crazies the okay to rear their ugly little head again.
