Only white people will call a black man who thanked cops for beating the shit out of him a fucking hero
Liberals swoon over black people as long as those black people have the right political bent. The left trashes Herman Cain and his family on social media while the AP and other left wing dumpster fires ignore his story.

The only ones who count in our Democracy were there.
The Three Stooges speak for a reknowned racist and pervert
Obama the clown...using the pulpit for a political speech. Lying in a church. Disgraceful.
God is not what he does, but what is happening.
Oh hell i miss a decent president Imissobama
How embarrassing. WS media heaping paraise on someone that got their behind kicked in Selma and thank his oppressors for the beat down. He did nothing for Black empowerment and your weak attempts at painting a different pic will not change that fact. Grassroots FBA know better.
In the vein of fighting for civil rights, the focus must be on advocating/fighting for black empowerment, which is the only way to combat systemic racism in our society. Black Americans need our version of a 'Marshall Plan', and hold the US to the '40 acres & a mule' promise.
Were is social distancing at this funeral ?
John Lewis is a true 20th Century American hero. There are NO Republican heroes except Eisenhower. In fact the Republican legacy in the previous century and today is despicable.

If George Floyd got 10 or 12 funerals J Lewis should get 40 or 50, its the new black entitlement.
'Here lies a true American patriot who risked his life for the hope and promise of democracy.” — Ebenezer's senior pastor, The Rev. Raphael Warnock, is leading mourners remembering Rep. John Lewis.
why is his funeral okay with singing... and we can’t go to church?
Remind me, where’s POTUS?
Bernell Tramell died for his beliefs which unfortunately does not concur with the Democrats. Blacks are being used as an excuse for liberals agenda. Their leaders have fallen in tow.
