Careful there, buddy. You are but a baby step away from saying "All Lives Matter" and if you say that, someone like this will come after you:

This poor, dedicated, passionate woman lost her job because of this video, but her message should resonate. Don't mock BLM.
you probably didn’t even realize you were a racist until you were enlightened by the “woke” group.
so do you feel the need to make amends and do the right thing??
?.
No. I embrace my racism and my sexism for that matter. I relish my white privilege.
in minneapolis, the city council has voted to abolish the police.. many cities want to either disband or defund the police.
black lives matter and other groups have influenced citizens and neighborhoods to get rid of police and their authority.
is anyone really supportive of removing the police or cutting out law enforcement through the budget?
You can't make this stuff up. The taxpayers of Minneapolis are paying $4,500 A DAY for a private security firm to provide security for 3 (I think it was 3) Minneapolis City Council members. Also in Minneapolis, MPD officers were assigned to work crowd control at a Defund The Police rally. Rally organizers requested the extra police presence.

This is probably anecdotal evidence of what will happen.
I live about 3 hours north of Minneapolis. The house next door is for sale. Today as I was going back to work a stranger gave me a wave and walked over to my truck. He was killing some time waiting for the realtor to show the house and he asked me a few questions about the neighborhood. As we chatted I asked him where he was from. "North Minneapolis," he said. "The last couple of weeks made me and my wife realize it was time to move."
j f rutherford in all his wisdom hysterically, stupidly, and boastfully proclaimed the now slogan;.
"millions now living will never die".
donny trump in all his wisdom hysterically, stupidly, and of course boastfully proclaimed that a million supporters requested tickets for his much ballyhooed rally in tulsa!
Say what you want about President Trump, and I have some heartburn with him, I have to admit that seeing a 70 something year old man deliver an almost 2 hour speech is remarkable. Vice-President Biden is what, 10 years older than Trump? I don't think Biden would have the endurance to go for 30 minutes, tops.
I happened to see a segment on some TV show this evening and it showed a picture of President Trump arriving at the White House after the Tulsa event. His tie was off, he had his shirt unbuttoned, and he was carrying his red hat. The talking head was describing him as looking depressed and defeated. I saw a a man in his 70's who had had a long, long day. Anybody would look beat, not beaten.
we have to get rid of these racist relics.
i propose that we destroy all these bottles of syrups and burn every pancake box !
we need to get rid of anything that reminds us of anything negative concerning slavery.. in boston they decapitated the head of christopher columbus and got rid of his statue.
1920: "I bet in a hundred years we'll have flying cars...and cities on the moon!"
2020: "This syrup is racist!"
it just seems rather odd to me that supposedly a million people had tickets or wanted tickets and yet the upper deck of the arena was half empty (or less) and they cancelled the outdoor overflow thing.
just a bit strange based from what was reported the day before.. i wonder if it was no-shows or being overly optimistic..
Chen, Liu, Zhao, Zhoi, Wang, Wu and Wong.
Nothing to do with the Trump event, I saw these names and immediately thought of when the news station in San Francisco was completely pranked after an Asian airliner crash at SFO. It was a tragic event, but this was and is priceless:

Maybe Aunt Jemima will be white.
That'll work as long as she is kneeling, apologizing for her privilege. Quaker Oats will have to focus group the concept.
If people are upset that Quaker is changing the look of the Aunt Jemima product line, the remedy is quite simple. Buy the Aunt Jemima line from Quaker and do what you want with it.

I really don't know what the big deal is with Quaker Oats changing the look of their packaging. Quaker made a business decision and they are following thru. It'll be interesting to see how they sell the Aunt Jemima product line going forward. It would seem that they can't just drop the image yet keep the name.
a new fox poll says biden is up by 12 percentage points.
of course, most other polls say trump will be trounced this time around.. do you think the polls might be right this time?

If Trump wasn't such a tone deaf empty suit he would go to Tulsa tomorrow and tour the site of the Black Wall Street massacre. At the end of the tour he would lay a wreath in remembrance of those who suffered and died on that dreadful day and then announce that he will sign into law legislation that would make Juneteenth a National holiday. Some view this as more pandering but I think Trump, a Republican, signing into law a holiday that enshrines the Emancipation Proclamation that was made by Lincoln, the original Republican, would be almost poetic during this troubled time. It would also honor and remind people of the soldiers who fought and died to preserve the Union while crushing that peculiar institution, slavery. Democrats would hate this.
At the very least I hope Trump says something about Black Wall Street and the massacre that occurred there. But he will no doubt prattle on about building big beautiful walls and how great the economy will be "soon" (where have I heard that crap word before) and give shout outs to the military and cops...you know the script.
If you don't know anything about the Black Wall Street massacre, 60 Minutes had a segment on it last Sunday. It's worth the 15 minutes to watch.
