Watched #SouthernRites yesterday and hoooo-boy, I got half a mind to go to hell and be WAITING for Mr. Norman Neesmith, tell you tf what!

In 2011, Black, 22-year-old Justin Patterson was shot and killed at the home of and by the well-connected white man, Norman Neesmith.

Calvin Burns is running to be the first Black Sheriff in MontgomeryCounty, Georgia. [Burns]"...It ain't the point to be the first Black sheriff. It's the point about making this community better, and I know I can... the sheriff, he and I get along great, but I know I can do a better job."

"When Dr. Martin Luther King came through the scene, and when he marched in Albany... it seemed like everything started smoothing out.
But...as time moved on, the racial began to sneak back in, very sneakily-like..." #SouthernRites #HBODocumentary #HBOMax

They chose someone with no experience over someone with 30 yrs.....wow just wow #SouthernRites

Maybe I'm naive but you look in his eyes and see that what he did that night messes with him #SouthernRites

Like I almost felt bad for Neesmith until he went on that rant towards the end #SouthernRites

This #SouthernRites documentary is deep.

"Montgomery Co. just ain't ready for a black sheriff. That was told to me to my face only they didn't use the word black." #SouthernRites

First thoughts were that blacks in Mt. Vernon, Ga should leave. Followed by, "And go where?" #SouthernRites

We see D.A's doing what's politically best for them, instead of victims, all over the country so I'm not shocked. I'm pissed. #SouthernRites

Just watched #SouthernRites. I now have a headache and a ton of questions, first being, WTF?!
