The Race(ism)/Hate Thread

[Tomahawk]

Though I claim to be fb-free, I log in after events like Charlottesville to find out what "friends" I need to avoid IRL. I caught this video of Ilia Calderón, a reporter with Univision, interviewing the Imperial Wizard of the KKK on his property; I was terrified for her.

I know it's #fakenews...that the right believes. It goes to Igy's point

Ahhh... point taken.

History juices were flowing.


One more from CNN:  Lee's great-great-grandson says it might be appropriate to take confederate statues to a museum and that Gen. Lee would never stand for that kind of violence.

I know you can't control what others say about you, but if there's ever an opportunity for David Duke to thank you, you're doing it wrong.

How can you carry guns with you and claim you've done everything you could possibly think of to ensure peace and safety?

if you haven't seen it check the article written by the women from the synagogue in downtown Charlottesville yesterday

so chilling

My fair City, and our otherwise unremarkable Mayor, just showed the nation how it's done.  No more debate, just swift removal of slaver monuments.  I'm actually proud of Baltimore today.
