Man calls cops after mostly black town ‘hurts’ his feelings by disrespecting Confederate flag parade

[irisblue]

From Raw Story 13 July 2015


Virginia man demanded justice over the weekend after he said that people threw water bottles and hurled racial slurs at his Confederate flag parade.

Chris Oliver and his wife, Angela, told WWBT that they and about 100 other people took part in a flag run on Saturday that ran through Petersburg, which had a black population of over 77 percent in 2013. ...


“The racial slurs are really what hurt me,” Oliver remarked. “You know, it’s uncalled for. There’s no need for that in today’s society.”

A spokesperson for the Petersburg Police Department told WWBT that a report filed by the Olivers was being investigated.

1. WTF is a "flag run"? I never heard of such a thing, and I'm from there!!

It sounds like a "drive through black neighborhoods being dicks" event

So yes... what you described is exactly what this was meant to be.
