Trump Supporters Yell 'White Power,' 'F*** Black Lives,' During Rally in North Carolina

Supporters of US President Donald Trump yelled racist comments including “white power” and “f*** black lives” as their convoy passed counter-protester Megan Squire in Elon, North Carolina, on Saturday, September 19.

This footage, shot by Squire, a computer science professor who studies online extremism, shows the convoy passing. Triad City Beat, who had a reporter at the scene, said Squire was holding a sign that read: “Black lives matter.” At one point, a member of the passing convoy shouts, “No they f**ing don’t, b**** – go back to your f***ing home, c***.”

The rally was reportedly organized by Gary Williamson, a member of Alamance County Taking Back Alamance County (ACTBAC), through a Facebook event. The Southern Poverty Law Center has described ACTBAC as a neo-Confederate hate group.

The convoy set off from the ACE Speedway after an event organized by TL Mann, a local Republican organizer and chairman of the Young Republicans of Alamance.

Our side is wearing masks now, yet we have nothing to be ashamed of.

I lived in NC for years, Mr Bear was born and raised there. And there’s beaucoup in-laws and friends there. The friends are mostly liberal, in-laws liberal in many ways and conservative by old terms in others (in other words not crazy Trumpers), and then there are people like there are in that story. And there are lots of each group.

I LOVE NC. But damn.
