But whenever a man stands up in front of a bunch of aggrieved white supremacists who think they’ve been cheated out of something they’re entitled to, and tells them “I am your warrior. I am your retribution,“ the intention to engage in violence is not even being hinted at, it’s explicit.

Those evil men are fathers and grandfathers of men we have to deal with today. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/freedomsummer-murder/
