A couple of days ago the statue of Frederick Douglass was removed in Rochester.

If it exists, it's getting canceled right now.

But, did they bake it?

Brian Kemp is done with what's going on Atlanta. Declared a State of Emergency and is deploying the National Guard. The deployment of NG Soldiers is going to be to specific government buildings that normally have State Troopers assigned, the state troopers will then be deployed to street patrols.

Governor declares State of Emergency, authorizes 1,000 National Guard troops to Atlanta

Crime spike in New York is apparently because of COVID-19?

Of course they’ll blame the virus. Defense attorneys across the country have successfully lobbied to have their defendants under the guise of preventing an outbreak in jails. In other words, they hit the streets and violate the conditions of their release by committing another crime. We’ve hooked up more than a few guys because of this.

Like him or lump him, Grossman has really perpetuated the whole us vs them, warrior mentality with LE. I am not sure where I stand on it; a lot of cops I know are uncomfortable with the label.

People are trying to cancel Terry Crews.

Don Lemon doing his best to be a shithead. Apparently Terry has to start ALL BLACK LIVES MATTER movement...

Don Lemon. I wish HE'd protest on a highway, in front of me. He'd be my hood ornament, not because of his skin color, but because he's a douche asshole.

This shit is wild...there are people who want to make racism a mental disorder?

The hypocrisy of the situation is insane. Desean Jackson is allowed to be openly anti-semitic and face no consequences.

Do people understand that racism isn't biological. It's the up bringing and cultural environment that a person is surrounded by? That racism isn't a mental disorder in the literal sense There's stuff in behavioral biology that state certain genes dictate aggressiveness and chemical imbalances, but racism in and of itself doesn't occur naturally.

Quit trying to rationalize this. It's futile because, honestly, the mental disorder resides with those who keep spewing this shit.

Can I get SS disability if I am racists? I Hate the Navy

Can I get SS disability if I am racists? I Hate the Navy

Only if your hatred was clinically diagnosed before age 22.

I had to remind myself that's for soc security and not gnatsies... <headdesk> Europe majority meaning, sigh.

Still, what's up with that, they got cool blue and ships ;) Sail away from this insanity sounds about grand. Well. Not so ship mutinies. But man can't have it all.
