Since the Charlestown Massacre, a Black Church has been Burned Every Two Days in the Old Confederacy
Josh Sager – July 2015
In the two weeks since the Charleston Church Massacre, 7 predominantly black churches—all located in the south—have been set on fire. This averages one serious fire every two days and, while I can’t find any statistical data on baseline church-fire rates, this cluster of fire certainly seems suspicious.

Shock Video: Police Lieutenant Addresses White Supremacy Group of Which He’s a Member
Anniston, AL (RT) — The city of Anniston, Alabama has placed two police officers on administrative leave over allegations that they belong to a hate group.
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a left-wing legal advocacy organization, posted an article on its Hatewatch blog that alleges Lt. Josh Doggrell and Lt. Wayne Brown have ties to the League of the South (LOS), an organization that the SPLC has deemed as “neo-Confederate.” The allegations are being investigated by the City of Anniston.
The SPLC website explains that neo-Confederacy is “strongly nativist and advocating measures to end immigration.” It goes on to say “neo-Confederacy claims to pursue Christianity and heritage and other supposedly fundamental values that modern Americans are seen to have abandoned,” and it exhibits “an understanding of race that favors segregation and suggests white supremacy.”
In a statement made on Friday afternoon, the city announced that the two officers were being placed on leave.
