Some White Folks in Macon, GA Distort History /Reality to fit their own Agenda …… Macon, GA Leaves me SMH

Former Mayor of Macon C. Jack Ellis

As usual I’m taken aback by some of The Telegraphs commenters post (postremoved from telegraph’s story)…..not so much that they said it, but The Telegraph prints these post.  Some of the posters in this story and The Telegraph’s facebook page appear to threaten, intimidate, insult and denigrate people of color for wanting to be free……….free to speak, free to rally, free to denounce white supremacy/bigotry/racism, free to have a say in government decisions (laws governing confederate statues), free to protest, and free to have their voices heard.   They seem to have resorted to the tactics of their confederate ancestors in silencing people who do not agree with or accept their reasoning why things should remain the same.  They have the audacity to be angry and insulted, they have the audacity to try and instill fear and/or shame, and the audacity to marginalized people of color contributions to the growth of this city (black consumers/America’s biggest spenders), and above all dictate who's relevant in this city and who's not/who can  stay and who has to go.  That's one of the main reason your confederate statue/s need to be removed and "PUT IN THEIR PLACE"....they give you a false sense of power/control.  Makes you think you have power you actually don't have over people.

Crime in this city is always people of color cross to bear, or just crime in general in their twisted minds.   They distort words, events, statistics, and history to their advantage. They speak of black on black crimes but say nothing of white on white crimes as evident in commenters section of the Macon Telegraph.    The drug epidemic of whites is a prime example.  When blacks used drugs they were/are locked-up, however, now that it’s become a white problem here in Macon and surrounding areas they are coddle and offered treatment.  All of the racist commenters embellish and make up facts to rationalize their disdain for people of color.   The old tricks your ancestor/s used to oppress slaves no longer mesmerize us and/or faze us….we see you and your statement/s for who and what you really are, and are no longer deceived / easily bamboozled/afraid.  We know the heinous crimes you commit behind closed doors (violent rapes) that are rarely reported until years later…….as well as those committed in the case of our black ancestor/s.

 

Listen, you will no longer define our people: what we say, who says it, when it is said, why it is said, and how it is said.  Being clueless and/or conveniently faking amnesia is no longer an option….you have your own cross to bear.  You will not define us.  

Former Mayor C. Jack Ellis isn’t going to stop advocating for the rights and equality of all people……..as you expect of 45, Mayor Reichert, Commissioner Mallory Jones not to stop advocating for a few people.
