Buried footage of ‘Ax Handle Saturday’ is uncovered after more than 60 years: Video captures moment mob of 200 white men attacks peaceful black sit-in against segregation in clip that then disappeared in media blackout
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • The Jacksonville Historical Society unearthed previously and purposely buried video of 'Ax Handle Saturday,' which happened on August 28, 1960

  • A white mob beat black people - including children and teenagers - after a sit-in demonstration

  • There was a media blackout at the time and footage hasn't been seen until now

  • Mitch Hemann, a senior archivist for the Historical Society, said 'It is very brutal footage, but it is important footage'

  • 'With the media blackout at the time, that’s a measure in terms of trying to keep these stories out of the public'

  • The mayor at the time reportedly denied the attack

#1 Curious timing on the release...almost as if a massive distraction and contrarian emotional shift was needed desperately in the MSM. Almost like someone is monitoring the PsyOps manipulation from the Central Committee over at the Kalorama Kompund and realizes they might lose Bidet sooner than they thought, and the CackleJackal would be a loose cannon.

#5 So when I was just a
A bunch of WHITE RACIST Pretty sure 99.99% were DEMOCRATS down in FLA. Seriously violated the US Civil Rights and the MEDIA covered for them even back then.

Look we all know some serious crap happen 50tp 160+ years ago.
But Racism is no longer a Local state or federal government policy.

The DEMOCRAT'S JIM CROW LAWS in the South and YES in the North also, are no longer on the books.

A vast overwhelming MAJORITY of the USA no longer supports, feels or acts racist. FBI is tracking less than 100 real White Racist Hate Groups in 2020 with membership totaling less 50,000 / 332,000,000 or 0.015~ of 1%

However BLM has a membership of about 200,000

Note: Also unless you were already a 16+ White Teen back in 1960, it is highly unlikely your were supportive of Racism.



QUESTIONS:
Who Poplar Bear?
Who is attack Asian?
How much did the BLM Leadership make ... according to news reports purchase several Million $$ houses?
Who has been seen on the NEWS rioting, Arson and Looting.
Did your Elected official Champaign supporting Racism against Blacks or was it to the other way around?


So if the Politicians and Millionaire Race Pimps would quit stirring the Pot every election to incite voters. Maybe, just maybe the past can be put behind us and we can continue to move forward.

#6 Balance that against the CURRENT videos of blacks going out of their way to attack whites, Asians, and Jews.

#7 When I bring this up to a Dem co-worker, the answer is "But we've changed. Working class tax dollars prove it."

#9 "But we've changed. Working class tax dollars prove it."

That sounds like the old 'But Republicans and Democrats have swapped positions since then!" argument. Which is a proven falsehood.

#10 Can it be questioned, like the moon landing?

#11 I don't see this as a reaction to anything. This is part of the rolling script. We're going to see a lot more of this moving forward. NN21 is right, and there's more where that came from.
