‘Never give up the land’ – Source: Charlotte Observer (Black Folks, White Folks & Land)

BEAUFORT, N.C. Two brothers have been locked in jail for more than six months in this coastal town for defying a judge’s order and refusing to abandon waterfront property their family lived on for 100 years. (Read more)

Note: Black folks, white folks and land. This has been a long history.

This is just another case that bothers the heck out of me. I don’t know this family but I bet at one time they were very, very close. And then one day property has divided them. When family is divided I would think that life would be miserable for all involved because if family don’t have your back how do you really trust in others?

I commend the brothers for standing up with what little I have read about this saga. I trust and believe that they feel they are doing the right thing. I know how sincere my father would be about something like this if it was my family.

I know Anita Earls and I trust in her, "Although members of the Reels family no longer hold legal title to the tract in Carteret County, Earls said that morally she believes they should. She believes they were wronged by their relative, then by several attorneys who failed to properly represent them and by the courts, which denied their appeals."

Although this saga probably do have some racial issues attached, I do know that all white people are not the same and I do not put them all in the same category.

The following is enough for me, "An unusual legal strategy." I strongly feel that someone schooled Shedrick on how to claim the land so that it could be sold. Wonder were they black or white but if I was to guess I would say white. Oh well. Curmilus Dancy II – DCN Publisher
