Historically black church in Mississippi set ablaze, vandalized with ‘Vote Trump’

[forest444]

4. It's almost a fact of daily life in Mississippi.

I lived there for a few years, and frankly lost count of the mentions of black church arson/bombings I remember seeing in the news. One of the firebombed churches had held a wedding I was invited to just a year earlier; it was a stone church but was burnt to the ground because the Fire Department took forever to get there.

The neighborhood Fire Department was just a few blocks away.

I recall 1994 being particularly severe as far as these incidents, although they're definitely making a comeback. And it almost always ended the same way: as an "unsolved crime of indeterminate motive."

If hell does indeed exist, there must be a special spot for miscreants that burn down a church simply because of the race of those who worship therein.

Thanks for your reply, Judi.
