Antifi sets up a separate country in the six block area in Seattle know as Capital Hill. It is now know as the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.
Probably won't see this on the MSM tonight.
That’s funny. I’d love to see how they plan on getting food, utilities, medical services etc. in their little Marxist “country”.
They are wanting help, but it has to be vegan, non gmo.
How long until we need to rename "cotton" since slaves were used to pick cotton? Same goes for any other crops produced in the pre-Civil War south (tobacco, rice, etc).philip964 wrote: Thu Jun 11, 2020 1:39 pm https://www.click2houston.com/entertain ... to-lady-a/
Lady Antebellum changing their name to Lady A to avoid association with slavery.
Antebellum is from the Latin "before the war".

I wonder if having "Charles C" on the ballot would confuse NRA board member voting...Soccerdad1995 wrote: Thu Jun 11, 2020 2:10 pm How long until we need to rename "cotton" since slaves were used to pick cotton? Same goes for any other crops produced in the pre-Civil War south (tobacco, rice, etc).

As a technical correction, that may or may not make a significant difference in the statistics (but will change it some), BLM is not protesting the number of Blacks killed by Whites, They are protesting the number of Blacks killed by Blues, that is blacks killed by the police. They tend to see police as all one race, such as ignoring the fact that of the officers involved in the George Floyd case, one officer was White, one was Hispanic, one was Asian, and one was Black.Paladin wrote: Thu Jun 11, 2020 12:00 pm All lives matter, and everyone knows I am a strong supporter of justice, but to put the BLM protests in perspective:

And as much as I hate to admit it, there is at least some statistical basis for their complaint. While police kill many more white people each year, they do kill Blacks at a rate far larger than the proportion of Blacks in the population. Of course, to do a proper analysis, we would have to have quite a bit more information, such as how many Whites and Blacks are contacted by police, how many are arrested, how many resist arrest, and maybe the charges for which they are initially stopped and later arrested. I do not believe that the police are systemically racist, but I have little doubt that the criminal justice system overall (including the laws passed, the enforcement of the laws, and the bail set and trials for breaking them) is systemically classist, discriminating against the poor. Historically, it has been almost impossible to measure class (by economic status) in the US without measuring race also. This has been changing over the past 2 decades, but it is slow change.
So, the real question is if I have a system that discriminates against the poor, and blacks are disproportionately represented amongst the poor, am I discriminating against Blacks also? I think we may need to look at reforming some aspects of the criminal justice system, starting with repealing a bunch of laws. Defunding the police is definitely not the answer though.
The chart shows that most of the acts of violence against blacks are not due to whites. It is not due to the state or vigilantes. The violence is overwhelmingly from other blacks. And that whites are victims of black lethal violence about 12 TIMES more often than blacks are victims of whites.whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes. By combating and countering acts of violence
