EXACTLY my first reaction too!!!

Say it with me class.  Cognitive...?

“Did you know Martin Luther King was a Republican?!

George Washington started out in his teens as a land surveyor. Who made it a habit of scoping out the best land parcels for himself. Arguably married into old money to improve his opportunities. Had his false teeth made from the teeth of his slaves. Built one of the most extravagant estates in Colonial America. And

Global-warming, the threat of nuclear war, world-wide pandemics (partly as a result of global-warming), the risk of economic collapse, the threat of civil war, etc.. They’re all very much connected to less than 9% of the world’s population trying mindlessly and obsessively to hold on to white power. So it’s likewise

I’m talking about methodically peeling back ALL the very much intentionally hidden buried layers of lies on top of lies that have been told. With the objective of finally getting all the way down to the original layer that started it all. For example, as hideously ugly as chattel slavery was, in billions of ways, it

Confederate flags that far north of the Mason-Dixon line?

That’s simply begging to be screwed in any D-shaped orifices if the Democrats don’t offer you something very specifically tangible instead of simply no trump. Because handing them that blank check is virtually the same as giving them a free pass to only be half as bad as trump.

And three years of example after example after example with no significant response shows that America itself is!  Again.

Following Reconstruction and the Civil Rights Movement, this is actually the third time in our history this type of putrid backlash has occurred. So responsibility goes a hell of a lot deeper than that.

You’re off by somewhere around 350 years. In fact, you’d damn near be brought to tears at the number of character similarities (centered primarily around their overall mediocrity coupled with raw, naked blind ambition) between the orange sphincter and ol’ George “I cannot tell a lie” Washington himself.

There is a monumental difference between masking the symptoms and curing the actual disease. And for as long and there continues to be the twin evils of both white racial segregation and whiteness period, we are very seriously deceiving ourselves about even the possibility of anything  remotely resembling lasting

It was never baked in because more than 100 years before this even became a country they were deeply and meticulously embedding the foundations that would insure that it NEVER, EVER would!

Did somebody flash the Bat-signal in the sky for some Baldwin?

White supremacy is scientifically not a real thing. So it is therefore almost by definition a social network created for the exact purpose of inflicting physical and psychological cruelty, even in seemingly the most mundane and extraordinarily unnecessary aspects of black life.

Looking at the racial shit that whites keep stirred up in NYC, when they’re already below 40% of the city’s population is not a particularly good harbinger for the rest of America down the road.

It’s much deeper and darker than that. The creation of whiteness (and by extension “nigger-ness” — not just blackness, mind you) was done explicitly for the purpose of inflicting and justifying violence against those deemed nonwhite. It was never, ever meant to be something inert, passive or simply indifferent. So,

The “reason” was already well established by the time Washington, Jefferson and the boys were even born. Institutional white supremacy.

While the black woman there with her mom, and simply trying to keep up with a toddler and two other rambunctious little boys is being watched by five different security people on five different monitors.
