Aboriginals came from elsewhere also. They just got here before our ancestors did.

shouldnt everyone go back to Jerusalem where Jesus was last. After all, we are adopted and our ancestors are all Jesus family.

Why are we letting the BLM movement have such power over everyone? Free speech is only free if you are part of that movement these days it would seem. People are fed up.

Notice I didn't say those sentiments are my sentiments, but enough is enough. BLM is not even about black lives. One of the founders is a hate filled ranting lesbian who has no reason to live other than her rants. BLM is not about fairness or love or peace.

Wakey woo dah

Really? Jesus physical ancestors (Mary') are documented in scritpure. Yours. is not.

You may call God your Father and Jesus your brother as per scripture, but you are not a physical Jew.

Free speech doesn't mean freedom of consequences from said free speech .also Harley-Davidson reserves the right to discontinue business with anyone who they feel is bad for their company.. and thirdly making racist comments on Facebook is about the stupidest thing a person can do when he runs a business

Telling black people go back to Africa is pretty stupid. I'm certain they weren't lined up requesting to be abducted and brought here against their will

Except for the fact Native Americans owned black slaves, and all cultures have owned slaves of different ethnicities.

And blacks? They still sell and enslave one another, kill one another more than any other ethnicity kills them, also owned blacks slaves in the US. Oh, and they owned more white slaves in numbers well outweighing any whites owning blacks.

That's right. Speaking the truth might just get a person into trouble in this climate. It works both ways. Hate speech is pouring out of the left like flood waters in the spring. Wait for the consequences.

Totally relevant and ignoring it and calling it names doesn't change the fact. And you know that.

Did you know the donation link on BLM's website redirects to Act Blue, a third-party fundraiser for Democrat political action committees?

Did you know many very large and wealthy companies are not only donating to BLM, but are also promoting them in advertisements?

He even used the n-word. It appalls me that some of you are actually supporting this
And you wonder why people don't like Christians

BLM is a front, Antifa are terrorists and there are other militant groups as well all designed to bring down the US. I am sure you have noticed that any time a person speaks the truth they are now called a racist.

So you say he was exercising freedom of speech my failing black people to go back to Africa and calling him the n-word but you want black people to leave America for exercising their free speech.are you familiar with the concept of circular reasoning?

Apparently, the owner of that Harley Davidson dealership has said he did not post those remarks. I guess we can give him the benefit of the doubt? I don't know if he did or did not, but it would seem just to give him a chance according those who are so quick to judge,


Abernathy's claims he did not post the remarks. Can be found on his website.

Regarding the social media post attributed to me on 6/12/2020. I, Russell Abernathy, did not post this comment and reject the content of it. I, and by extension Abernathy’s Harley Davidson, have been and will always be welcoming to all riders regardless of race. The derogatory nature of the comment in no way aligns with my personal beliefs or that of Harley Davidson Motor Co. It personally saddens me that this post has caused such wide-reaching pain to those that have already been subject to so many social injustices. I vow to make certain that Abernathy’s Harley Davidson provides a positive environment of diversity, equality, and inclusion for all.
