Running racism in America thread

Whatever conspiracy nonsense he saw on OAN while he was watching his daily intel briefing this morning. ... because both candidates were the same.

 

So the old guy appears to be holding a smart phone in one hand and helmet in the other. Some whackadoos on the Internet claimed it was a scanner designed to identify police radio frequencies and then block them.

Of course, police frequencies are common knowledge. You can download apps to listen in. And as anybody who worked at a newspaper in the old days knows, radios designed to pick up those frequencies have been around for decades. And, on top of that, jamming technology hasn't been deployed at any protest that I know of.

 

I imagine some minor league baseball team will hold a "Karen Night" at some point - free admission to all fans named Karen, and a meet and greet with "the manager" of course.

The U.S. women's national soccer team wants an apology and repeal of protest ban:

USWNT players demand apology, repeal of national anthem protest ban

U.S. men's team is also getting on board.

 

Hey now, there are Confederate monuments up north too. Not as many. But some.

 

very fine monuments on both sides

 

I actually lived in Marietta Georgia in the fifth and sixth grade. I remember going to Stone Mountain, where a bunch of confederate soldiers are etched into the side of a mountain. But that was a long time ago. We moved in 1976.

I am still flabbergasted.

 

Put the statues in a museum and charge. Simple solution and Mitchie and his ilk can still make a buck off it
