Recently I wrote an article that was very critical of Sons of Confederate Veterans Commander in Chief Chris Sullivan for making an offer to "reach out" to the new leadership of the NAACP.

My reasoning was;  Would the SCV reach out to the KKK because its lost most of its members? No of course not. So why should it reach out to the "Black Klan"? After all the NAACP is a Black Supremacist Hate Group.

My point is this. If the NAACP is losing members in droves, then chances are any decent members left with them, leaving only the Black Supremacists.

Recently I received an email from H.K. Edgerton, which was also posted at his website: www.southernheritage411.com .  In it Edgerton states:

" at the invitation of the Chairman of the Buncombe County Republican Party, I would attend the Buncombe County Republican Party Executive Committee meeting. I would be greeted very warmly by those in attendance. The Chairman would ask one of the Precinct Chairs , a White man from the most exclusive part of the city and county to deliver the invocation. In his prayers he began to thank God for the fact that because of the great Abraham Lincoln that we were all not now slaves, and the pride that we should all have for being in the party of Lincoln and Regan. When he finish with that diatribe, I couldn't help but to open that same big mouth of mine that had already gotten me in trouble for chiding a white man at a meeting in my home town for this kind of rhetoric. Just as the meeting was being called to a close, I blasted all those present for proclaiming to seek Black folks in the Republican Party while having the extreme need to be educated towards those ends , and furthermore that they needed an education committee . Before I could sit down, I was nominated and approved to chair that kind of committee, with several folks volunteering to sit on it.

I was stopped at the door by several people who wanted to know more about my concerns. I told them that this Republican party was not the Radical Republican Party of Lincoln, and that I resented the continued reference that it was, especially by Southerners. I went on to tell them that when I had run for Mayor, one of my dearest and most trusted friends, an 82 year old Black man who was now deceased, and who just happened to be a Real Son through his kinship with the late Senator Sam Irving , had told me that he could not vote for me because I was a Republican . I had asked him why ? He told me that his dad like a lot of dads of that time told him never to vote for a Republican because it was them who had stirred up trouble between Southern Blacks and Southern Whites ; influencing them with liquor , lies and women, and when this did not work , they used force to make them vote for the Republican Party ; and when they had clean the South dry; with the deal they made in the Rutherford B.Hayes election , they pulled out of the South and left Black folks behind to face all the hostilities of a angry White populous. I told them that while many Black folks did not fully understand as Mr.. Fred Harper had , too many Yankees come here to the South believing in the Northern rhetoric that they teach in the public schools here and across this nation about Lincoln as a hero to Black folks with the assumption that they believe it. However, this is not what troubles me the most. What is troubling to me is that Southern White people have become far too comfortable in their relationships with these kinds of men who now habitat our Southland , or just too afraid to stand up and call them out for what they say, and when a Black man like me does , it appears that I have forgotten my place , and the White men who set on the Board of Directors of organizations like the NAACP accomplish their mission just like they did during so call Reconstruction of using the Jesse Jackson's and Julian Bonds as the mouth piece of unsuspecting loyal Black folks who have to pay the cost for their actions that they claim are to help us "

While I have criticized Commander in Chief Sullivan with the strongest of language, I would like to publicly state that I am not just a man who offers criticism. I am also a man with a solution.

Instead of spending unnecessary time , money and resources trying to court and win favor from a Black Surpemacist Hate Group, why not offer to put men like H.K. Edgerton, Stanley K. Lott and Nelson Winbush on the SCV payroll , so that the can work full-time in educating the public about Southern Heritage?
