It’s not real. Ask a meat plant worker about critical race theory and they will look at you cross-eyed. America has always wrestled with censorship.

Only a matter of time before they are “deployed” to attack protesters.

Fear of Black Planet.  Older people get their news from TV and they are more likely to vote than folks 30 and below.

I agree. I’m angry at how “leaders” did not see this coming since Trump has been telegraphing martial law since day one in office and like the trapped animal that he is and no one had a game plan?

You missed the point altogether. The people who signed the letter are not interested in debate they want people to agree with them unquestioned and anyone that disagrees with them they cancel, LOL.

They were deployed by Eisenhower. Governor Orval Faubus ordered the Arkansas National Guard to prevent African American students from enrolling at Central High School. Same thing with the governor of Mississippi and James Meredith. Kennedy had to intervene. 

He’s not trying to protect anyone, he’s bitching about graffiti, a property crime, and quelling free speech.

Interesting. I had to look it up. Chatterton Williams book was published in 2010 and Rock made the joke in 2010. 🤷🏾‍♀️

That man is my hero. I thought he was a youngster the way he took them blows. They broke his arm and he still gave them double deuces. LOVE HIM. The stormtroopers beat volunteer medics and destroyed the food stations in Portland

No see the desegregation of schools and the LA Rodney King riots.

For 200 years, the Insurrection Act has given presidents the power to deploy the military to quell unrest

Axios ominously reported over the weekend that President Donald Trump and his aides “are privately considering a controversial strategy to act without legal authority to enact new federal policies.” In a way, this isn’t really news. Trump once said that Article II of the Constitution gives him “the right to do…

They used it to desegregate schools and to quell the LA riots. The issue is there are no checks because until now the executive branch has rarely used it. This is brand new territory.

No comparison to Charlottesville. The Unite the Right riot only lasted a day before Virginia State Police shut it down. What we are dealing with now is a crime wave spurred by the pandemic which has killed several of our babies, pretending that’s not happening gives the right a storyline.

Yeah, but what are we gonna do about it? While white folks are focused on Portland, a city since Trump has experienced fascist rallies for the last three years, Trump is using Black victims of crime to invade minority neighborhoods who do not have the “experience” or support to ward off a militaristic invasion. There…

State’s can only do so much and municipalities even less.

For now but if people keep seeing kids getting murdered night after night and no one giving a credible response that can change.  We can’t take anything for granted.

He’s playing to white suburban women who find the dozens of children who have been shot/injured or shot/murdered horrifying.

Not on Fox News conservative outlets, or network news. More people watch network news than cable ABC reaches 16 million homes, and they are running stories about the children being shot, the 14 people that were shot at a funeral. They ran a story about an infant shot in the stomach and dying in NYC. Sure there is…
