Passenger With Anthony Hervey Tells Her Story

Via Billy

Barnum served in the U.S. Army from 1973-1977, and eventually married a man who was a Vietnam veteran. He died in 2010, and she is now a 60-year-old widow.

She told me that her Southern pride was instilled into her from the time she was a little girl, growing up in Louisiana, explaining that she listened as her great-grandmother, Artilla White, told her many family stories. Barnum said that back in those days, they did not send older family members off to the “old folks home.”

As a young girl, Barnum knew that her family “did not like the North,” as they told stories of how the Union army had burned up the land, raping the women, and leaving many, black and white, homeless. Her ancestor, Richard Stills, she told me, was a Confederate soldier.

“The NAACP needs to stop the race-baiting,” Barnum told me. If the organization does not stop, she fears that we are going to see a “race war” in this country.

Anthony Hervey observed in 2000, “We currently live under a psychological form of reconstruction. Whites are made to feel guilty for sins of their ancestors, and blacks are made to feel downtrodden.... The political correctness of today is killing the pride of the people.”
