20. Honest questions
Mon Aug 7, 2023, 04:50 PM
Aug 2023

I've read a few articles and watched several videos and have not seen any of the following mentioned. If anyone can provide factual info, I'd appreciate it:

1- Were there racial slurs hurled or declarations that the bad actors should be able to dock their boat there because they're white and/or the attendant(s) were black?
2- Did any of the assailants sport white supremacist tattoos or clothing?
3- Did authorities show deference to the white aggressors?

If none of the above are "yes", then we have people of different races having a fight in Alabama.

Sometimes people are just assholes.

And just so it's said: if any of the answers to the questions above are "yes" then I will fully acknowledge that fact and condemn any racial animus demonstrated.
