BS Enough of that crap. Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest's (who also founded the KKK) men used to crucify black Union prisoners on ten poles and then burn them alive. The Confederacy most certainly acted in the name of Jesus. You're the one full of such nonsense. Did you come up with this on your own or someone feed it to you? Forrest was one of the finest officers of either side, even your rape, pillage, and burn hero Sherman said so.

Took them a whole month to kill them? Slice by slice I guess, thinest possible slices to increase the fun. A great religion indeed. Enough of that crap. Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest's (who also founded the KKK) men used to crucify black Union prisoners on ten poles and then burn them alive. The Confederacy most certainly acted in the name of Jesus. Today, Nathan Bedford Forrest is a Southern hero, and I'd bet most of his admirers aren't Muslims... The irony of course is that the KKK is alive and well among good Christians everywhere........why is it that those who are so ready to condemn the terrorist Muslims don't see their Christian KKK brothers in the same light: Challenges have made Solanco grad stronger By RYAN ROBINSON Lancaster New Era Published: Jun 05, 2007 1:44 PM EST LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa - Kyarra Thompson's biggest challenge on her journey to graduating from Solanco High School tonight began in first grade. Her parents, Michael and Patricia Thompson, had just moved their family of seven from Parkesburg to Peach Bottom. After dressing in their Sunday best, they stepped out their front door to go to church - and stopped in their tracks. "KKK and swastikas and the 'n' word were spray-painted on our house and cars," Kyarra, 18, recounted last week. Her angry parents "couldn't believe people were that ignorant," she said, but they were not intimidated into leaving their new home. "I'm glad we stayed and stuck it out," she said. "It made me a stronger person." Later, her four older siblings experienced racism and even were drawn into fights with other students because of it, she said. Racism diminished by the time Thompson, the youngest in her family, followed them into middle school and high school. But it didn't disappear. Last year, someone wrote the 'n' word and drew stick figures of people being hung in one of her school books. "It almost brought tears to my eyes," Thompson said. The racism didn't bother her for long, and it actually intensified her determination to succeed. "They want to see me not do well," she explained. Thompson joined more activities her senior year than ever before. She ran the 100-meter dash in 12.6 seconds and competed at the district track meet. She played tennis and had a small part in Solanco's fall play, "Get Smart." Thompson joined Students Against Drunk Driving, the National Honor Society, Student Senate and prom committee. She has also worked part-time at Quarryville Presbyterian Church and at a Wawa store. Kyarra has served the Solanco community through programs such as Interact. Last year, she attended the National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine in Atlanta, Ga. She plans to major in chemistry at Clark Atlanta University in Georgia this fall, when she'll become the first in her family to go to college. One day, Thompson said, she wants to be a doctor because she "loves helping people out. "I am not going to let anything stop me from doing what I'm trying."
