Here's what I don't get... town is 85% black and only has 275 people.

That means a 234 to 41 split black to white. 5.7:1 ratio.

If those 41 people really are that racist and regressive, you haul them all out of their homes, tar and feather them, and ride them out of town on a rail.

This. Violence is not the answer.

Until it is. Violence sometimes only can be corrected with violence.

The minute, and I mean THE MINUTE, some racist asshat burns someones house down, as happened here, you deserve the right to stop being polite about it.

Violence is not THE answer, but it is AN answer.

You are wrong violence is never the answer.

Its a question and the answer is yes.
