San Antonio's Pro-Confederacy Militia Says it's "Proud," Not Racist

Members of 'This Is Texas Freedom Force' at their Saturday protest.



San Antonio's defenders of Confederate monuments aren't like the other guys.

At least that's what their leader, Robert Beverly wants you to believe. This Is Texas Freedom Force (TITFF), the group behind Saturday's protest to save the Travis Park Confederate monument, is only trying to "protect all things Texas."

"We would not stand up to support anything having to do with race," he told the Current Tuesday. "We are just here to correct the behavior of those who — I don't know — maybe they weren't spanked enough as a kid."

In fact, Beverly said he hates the way the police are treating black people in the U.S. — even though most are "too damn lazy."

"I've hired them all the time, but they're either on drugs or don't show up," he said. But, Beverly added, he's definitely not racist (that's just what the liberal media want you to believe).

Looking at the size of the men in the photo it appears that they haven't missed any meals lately.
