Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

Black man harassed for being in the "wrong neighborhood" is mentally ill and has been committed to a facility

The racism in America would turn anyone mad

The young black man aggressively confronted by Army drill sergeant Jonathan Pentland is mentally ill and has been committed to a facility following the incident in a quiet gated community.

Pentland, 42, has been charged with third degree assault and battery after finding the man outside his large detached house and telling him: 'You've come to the wrong neighborhood motherf****r'.

The alleged victim - identified only as Deandre on social media - has been facing charges of trespass and animal cruelty from different incidents.

But he has now been determined mentally incapable of standing trial, a law enforcement source said.

He told Pentland he 'was walking to my house' during the confrontation, which was filmed in a three-minute clip that went viral - and sparked Black Lives Matter Protests outside the home near Columbia, South Carolina. And he appears confused but composed as Pentland aggressively accuses him of 'hanging around' the community for 15 minutes.
