The “White Supremacy” and overt racism of the "Old South" will soon be on display again this year at the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration held at Shelbyville, TN. (Aug. 26 – Sep. 5)
So will the barbaric Animal Cruelty perpetrated upon “Big Lick” Tennessee Walking Horses necessary to create and maintain the “Big Lick” show gait. According to native Tennessean MTSU Horse Science Professor Equine Vet Dr. John Haffner, the “Big Lick” is Animal Cruelty – “a pain induced gait – a business built on the suffering and pain of horses.”
When the “Big Lick” Tennessee Walking Horses struggle to win the World Grand Championship titles, the Confederate battle anthem “DIXIE” will blare loudly as the horses execute a final “running walk”, and the 98% white audience whoops and hollers wildly as the horses strain to be crowned World Grand Champion.
LISTEN TO DIXIE AT TN WALKING HORSE NATIONAL CELEBRATION
BLACK SLAVERY AND THE TENNESSEE WALKING HORSE
The roots of the Tennessee Walking Horse breed hearken back to the slave holding days of the Old South. Plantation owners needed a smooth riding horse to go check on the black slave labor who grew the cotton upon which the economy of the Old South was built.
Confederate cavalrymen rode these horses into battle to perpetuate slavery. In the years following the Civil War, these smooth riding horses evolved into the Tennessee Walking Horse breed.
NASCAR has banned the Confederate Flag from its events.
So has the Ohio State Fair, and the Arab, AL high school band stopped playing “Dixie” in 2018.
The University of Mississippi, whose athletic teams are the “Ole Miss Rebels”, stopped playing “DIXIE” in 2016.
Can the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration do any less?
