It honestly feels like we are going back in time in America. In this shocking clip, which took place in a suburb in Atlanta this past weekend, Melissa Alford (a black woman) and her family were hosting an outdoor birthday party in Douglasville, Georgia, when a convoy of seven large pickup trucks donning Confederate flags interrupted the party and pulled into the grass.
The occupants then called them n****rs and threatened them with violence, according to multiple eyewitnesses, who also stated that the men actually flashed guns at them: It is deeply disturbing, however, to see such blatant racism in such a raw and vicious fashion. Police are investigating to see if any criminal activity did take place. To level such hate at the very celebration of a black child’s life is a very symbolic attack, and it is just more proof of the awful depths that racial relations have sunk to in our nation.
One of at least two cellphone videos from the incident shows Douglasville police officers holding back a group of black men and women as at least seven pickup trucks drive off. The trucks’ white passengers wave as the Confederate, American and military flags mounted on the vehicles flap in the air. .
“This is a child’s birthday party,” one woman in the crowd can be heard saying.A second video shows the trucks gathered on a grassy area, and the N-word can be heard. A woman who shared the video said the trucks were on her property and their passengers were armed and threatened to “kill y’all [N-words].”
