The Long Hot Summer.....

The South rocked by possible arson at predominately Black churches.

First things first, we start of the month of July with the report of the Klan making a trip to Columbia, South Carolina to protest the proposal to remove the Confederate flag from the state capitol grounds.

Then there was a disturbance in which a man instigated a riot near the capitol grounds. The man was a supporter of the Confederate flag and he deliberately drove through to taunt the Black protesters.

That situation managed to attract the conservative Craigslist attention. After all, what could spook White folks more than a man being pummeled by a bunch of Black people.

Conservatives would find #BLACKLIVESMATTER hashtag merged with #RACIALMOBVIOLENCE

Then we have unexplained Black church burns in the South.

Macon, Memphis, Tallahassee, Warrenville, S.C. , Knoxville, and Charlotte were the scene where possible burns may have been the works of White extremists.

The FBI and state authorities are trying to connect the dots. Could this have been a hate crime?

Since that White terrorist killed nine innocent victims at Emmanuel AME Church, the calls for gun control and the removal of the Confederate flag have gotten louder.

Bree Newsome: [Never] Fear The Unknown! Fight For Change!

It's not over! - Bree Newsome 

Cue the conservative outrage, a Black woman climbed up a pole and cut down the Confederate flag around the South Carolina capitol grounds.

Bree Newsome, a resident of Charlotte. NC traveled to Columbia to make a point. She wants the world to know that that flag represents the racism that led to the killings of nine in Charleston.

She wanted the world to know that Freddie Gray's life matters. She wanted to let protesters know that she's not afraid of what the media says about her. She did it to make the world know that she's not afraid to stand up for something.

Newsome was charged today for defacing a state monument on Capitol grounds. Authorities said that she climbed the 30 foot tall pole and unhooked the flag, ignoring the orders of officers who arrived when she was halfway up the pole.

This misdemeanor carries a hefty fine of $5,000 with a trip to the iron college for up to three years. If they find her guilty, she may face both. Her and James Ian Tyson, from Charlotte were both cuffed.

There is a crowdfunding website that was set up today to raise money for her and Tyson. So far it's reached nearly $100,000 in funds. A hashtag #BreeNewsome went viral since the incident.

The Confederate battle flag which is protected by South Carolina law was raised again 45 minutes after Bree unhooked the flag.

Bree Newsome gained national recognition after climbing a pole to remove the Confederate flag.

Call for removing the flag came after a White terrorist killed nine people in Charleston's Emmanuel AME Church.

Republican governor Nikki Haley along with Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Tim Scott (R-SC), Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC) and Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) calls for the flag's removal.

President Barack Obama delivered a passionate speech yesterday telling that the world see how Americans overcome tragedies. He urged Americans to pressure Congress to pass legislation to change the narrative. Obama believes that mass murder tragedies are going to continue way pass his term.

It's up to state lawmakers to pass it.

Counter-protesters were in Columbia today to protest the removal of the Confederate flag. Some are saying that the flag isn't about hate, it's about heritage. They blame the junk food media for allowing this discussion focus on their "pride" of the South, the Confederate battle flag.

Bree Newsome and James Ian Tyson were booked in county lockup.

Legally known as Brittany Newsome,  Bree graduated from high school being active in her community. She was involved in student government and served as student body president.

Many believe her actions could inspire millions and that's why activist DeRay McKesson has called for his followers to aid her throughout her journey.

Protest is confrontation. Protest is disruption. Protest is the end of silence. It is not the solution, it creates space for the solution.

Is the United States prepared/willing to tackle white supremacy the same way it has gone after Islamic extremism? If not, why not?

Within a wk we've had a black civil rights leader assassinated in his own church in SC AND a black church burned in Charlotte, NC.

Me and S. Baldwin wish Bree well on her journey. Bree is currently in county lockup. She is innocent until proven guilty.

This is a passionate issue. This shooting has opened deep wounds.

This month alone we've dealt with Charleston, McKinney, Texas, Rachel Dolezal, The Duggars, marriage legality, Tamir Rice and Obamacare.

June has been the most active month for World News Today. The long hot summer begins. We'll be here to cover everything.

White Terrorist Got Pampered On His Way To Lockup!

White terrorist got him some burgers and fries from the law.

President Barack Obama is getting ready to head down to Charleston to do an eulogy for state senator and pastor Clementa Pickney. Pickney and eight others were gunned down by a White terrorist who had nothing but hate in his heart.

As the court prepares state charges against this scumbag. There's revelations of pampered treatment for the terrorist.

Dylann Roof was arrested and taken back to Charleston. He was caught outside of rural North Carolina. The law was tipped off by a seamstress who was on her way to work.

As they approach his vehicle, they didn't have guns drawn. It was a calm arrest. I figured that a mass shooter would have officers with guns drawn and a forced drag out the vehicle.

They asked him for his identity and ordered him out the car.

As if the terrorist wanted to waive his Miranda's rights, the terrorist said can I get some food.

Much obliged says the law. They get him some Burger King.

Police in Shelby, N.C., reportedly bought the 21-year-old food from Burger King after he was taken into custody approximately 250 miles northwest of Charleston following a 16-hour manhunt.

Shelby Police Chief Jeff Ledford said that terrorist had bought water and chips from a gas station in Charleston earlier on Thursday, but hours had passed and he was hungry.

"He was very quiet, very calm. He didn't talk," Ledford told The Charlotte Observer. "He sat down here very quietly. He was not problematic."

Strickland Maddox, a pastor with Eskridge Grove Baptist Church in Shelby, N.C., also described what happened when police bought food from Burger King for the suspect.

"He hadn't eaten, they said, in a couple of days," Maddox told Yahoo News. "They bought him a hamburger. They just sent out for it. I guess one of the police officers went and picked it up."

Roof was charged on Friday with nine counts of murder and a weapons possession charge.

And with that said, comes the national outrage. Why would the law be so soft on a White mass shooter when they're so quick to shoot and kill Black men.

The judge who ordered him on lockup said that his family is the real victims. After all, Roof ruined his sister's wedding and his antics may have caused his family great harm. Now they're getting death threats and the wedding is off. Of course the judge who gave Roof the get out jail free card is off the bench.

He gets a special room next to accused murderer Michael Slager. Slager is the ex-cop who shot and killed unarmed victim Walter Scott after a routine pull over.

Such a criminal does have the right to a fair trial. He is innocent until proven guilty. He is entitled to getting food, water, phone call and opportunity to have a decent public defender.

This terrorist can't stop unity. His actions may have made Republicans do a political expediency. That damn flag isn't the problem.

As the president said it, "Racism is in our DNA".

Why Would You Fly The Flag Of A Losing Side?

Black activists light up the Confederate flag. This will rile up extremists. 

The South Carolina governor Nikki Haley is a prominent Republican lawmaker. She is one of the youngest and most attractive women to hold office. A woman of great prominence is dealing with a controversy.

In the wake of a mass shooting at a historically Black church in Charleston, Haley must decide on taking measures to ensure her residents that she's got everything under control.

 Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) and Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) are the only two Black lawmakers representing South Carolina. 

For a woman of color, it should be a no brainer. She should acknowledge that a portion of her state's residents have some extremists views.

As you know many White southerners fly the Confederate flag as a homage to those who fought in the Civil War. They may think of it as heritage, I look at the flag as a disgrace to America. Why on earth would anyone fly the flag of the losing team?

In downtown Charleston, protesters deface statues dedicated to the Confederate soldiers.

The Charleston Post and Courier reports police dispatchers were tipped off to the vandalism around late this afternoon.

Another message, “This is the problem #racist,” also was spray-painted on “To the Confederate Defenders of Charleston — Fort Sumter.”

The damage was reported to police dispatchers just after 12:30 p.m. The statue was covered up by residents who wrapped a large tarp around it about 1:30 p.m.

Two signs were placed on the tarp after the graffiti was covered up. One said, “All lives matter #charlestonunited,” and the other said, “Take down racist statues.”

The incident occurred in the wake of the fatal shooting Wednesday of nine black people inside Emanuel AME Church in what police say was an attack by a white supremacist. The church held its first service since the shootings on Sunday.

The attack has led to a nationwide call for South Carolina to remove the Confederate battle flag from the Statehouse grounds. At least 1,000 people gathered Saturday in Columbia to call for the flag to be taken down. Numerous petitions also call for the flag’s removal.

The statue caused a stir downtown Sunday as several individuals began arguing about the battle flag. Zachary Gaither of Charleston helped cover the graffiti on the statue and said he did not associate the flag with racism.

South Carolina is facing heat over its embracing of the Confederacy.

“I was covering up something that was demoting our city,” he said of the graffiti, adding, “the Confederate flag is a Southern heritage of pride to me.”

Tighe Berry, who is from out of town but wouldn’t say where, argued for the graffiti to be left up.

“That was a disgusting war that was to separate this country to keep an institution of hatred, racism and violence and slavery,” he said.

Madea Benjamin of Washington, D.C., put up the sign encouraging the statue to be taken down.

“It’s important for this state to say we don’t support white supremacy, we don’t promote pro-hatred groups or symbols,” she said.

The Confederate flag is sort of like the Swastika flag. It's symbolically a historical failure.

Already the agitators are outraged at DeRay McKesson.

McKesson has been effective in his protests and they hate him like they hate Rev. Perm. He promise more protests in the wake of the shooting.

Ever since McKesson appeared on that network that may have inspired that racist shooter to kill those nine innocent lives, he's been a target of conservative ire. McKesson plans on making an appearance in Charleston.

The pot called the kettle black. Here's a concern troll on the social media who claims that President Barack Obama and Rev. Perm should stay away.

Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) are two elected members of Congress. One is a Black Democrat and the other is a Black Republican.

They have both express sadness over this. But however, they both have a different view of the Confederate flag being flown at the state house in Columbia.

There's an active movement to have the flag formally removed from the state house.

Allegedly activists defaced the Confederate soldiers monument.

Do you believe that the Confederate flag is sign of heritage or a symbol of racism?

Georgia Principal Fired Out The Cannon After Tossing A Racial Insult!

The principal of a school in Georgia got fired out the cannon after she was recorded making a racial insult.

Now I see "all the Black people" are leaving.

Oh, damn, I'm leaving too....!

The words of a former Georgia principal after she made an outright snark at attendees at a commencement speech. She screwed up on the scheduling and told the audience to wait until a valedictorian spoke.

People were exiting the auditorium. She went off and it was recorded on camera.

“You people are being so rude to not listen to this speech,” Nancy Gordeuk told the crowd. “It was my fault that we missed it in the program. Look who’s leaving — all the black people.”

Gordeuk apologized for her comments over the weekend, claiming the “devil was in the house.” However, on Monday, she defended them and said she wasn't racist.

Look who's leaving, all the Black people!

“People always think the worst,” Gordeuk said. “You know, oh you say the word 'black,' you know, was I supposed to say ‘African American?’ Were they all born in Africa? No, they’re Americans. And, they live here. And, but just, I’m not a racist. People that know me, I've worked with disadvantaged kids like this that couldn't get through school, we help them get a high school diploma.”

It drove all the attendees to bounce. She told the junk food media that she screwed up and it lead to her getting her share of death threats and ridicule.

Nancy Gorduek was fired out the cannon after days of discussion. That discussion led to the board of directors at TNT Academy in Stone Mountain decided that it was way worse than expected.

View the video and judge for yourself. Was she out of line?
