If you ever wondered why HBCU alumni go so hard for their homecoming, it’s because HBCUs represent the 4 years in our lives in which we weren’t the minority, an affinity group or an afterthought. It’s a black sacred ground.

If local law enforcement is overwhelmed and needs backup, let's see how tough these Antifa terrorists are when they're facing off with the 101st Airborne Division.
We need to have zero tolerance for this destruction.
