Race, lets make this serious! It is nearly 2013.

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

These are the types of people that have the confederate flag on the back of their truck and claim it's "heritage."
Well, I suppose it's one way to make one's self more welcome at Nascar events.
Maybe once. Not so much anymore.

Cool. I didn't know the Stars and Bars had been banned at Nascar. Good move. It's way past time to put the Confederacy to bed.

Trayvon Martin was murdered 10 years ago today. I think things are worse.
TV news: Under SYG in 38 states the killing of a Black by a White civilian is deemed "justified" 5 times more often than the killing of a White by a Black civilian.

Whack9's hood:
SC councilman wears Confederate flag shirt to Black and Hispanic youth event

Image
Greenville County Councilman Lynn Ballard wore a T-shirt with a Confederate flag image to an event for Black and Hispanic youths. Some want him to resign.

A community activist has called for a Greenville County councilman’s resignation after he showed up in a t-shirt with a Confederate flag on it to an event sponsored by a group that works primarily with Black and Hispanic young people. Several others have said they want Councilman Lynn Ballard to apologize. The shirt said “used but not used up” and featured a man, a scantily-clad woman and a motorcycle with a Confederate flag behind them....

First elected to the council in 2014, Ballard represents the southern and part of the western areas of Greenville County. A chemist, Ballard worked for a chemical company for 25 years and then as a rural mail carrier. His wife died of a COVID-related illness last year.
:roll: :x Probably an anti-vaxxer, too.

Trump is holding a rally in South Carolina on Saturday. Here’s what you need to know

I'll pass. Too far to drive my tractor-trailer, even with a $6 million state subsidy...
...Trump’s “Save America” rally is being held outside — rain or shine — at the Florence Regional Airport, 2100 Terminal Drive, on Saturday, March 12.

Florence sits smack dab in the middle of the state’s Pee Dee region and at the intersection of Interstates 20 and 95. It’s in South Carolina’s 7th Congressional District, where a contentious Republican congressional primary is heating up.

The Pee Dee, which covers the northeastern part of the state, also includes popular Grand Strand beach destinations like Myrtle Beach and Pawleys Island.

The district is currently represented by U.S. Rep. Tom Rice, R-Myrtle Beach, who has become a top Trump target....
PS-I don't actually drive a tractor-trailer.

Florence is way south of whack9. I thought the ignorance festival was near Greenville. But I heard it on the radio while driving my cement mixer. I guess that radio is not working right.

The internment camps were an example and element of "critical place theory."

The lack of non-White astronauts for NASA's first several decades is "critical space theory".

Noting the inherent errors and discrimination in LEO automatic personal recognition programs is "critical face theory".

Republicans who promote idiotic and stupid and evil policy in virtually all areas are engaging in critical debase theory, not caring that they debase themselves.

Fuck, I thought it was "critical replace theory" but I guess it depends on how you look at it. I look at things like this. :shock:

Plus:

From Tennessee Lookout:

Mason officials have pushed back on Mumpower’s assessment. The town ended up in a half-million-dollar financial hole caused in large part by fraud and embezzlement during prior administrations, Rivers said. Rivers said she and other officials have been working hard to pay off debts accrued under those previous administrations.

Rivers and other town officials have questioned why Mumpower or other state officials did not intervene before now. Mason, which still serves as home to descendants of freed slaves, was led by White officials for more than a century. The town’s first Black Mayor, Gwen Kilpatrick, assumed office in 2015 after allegations of fraud and mismanagement led to the resignations of nearly all City Hall officials, who were White. Mason residents have elected Black leaders ever since. Mason’s current mayor, vice mayor and five of its six aldermen are Black.

Over the past couple of days I've read about a black guy going to the bank to deposit money from selling his boat. The bank called the cops on him. And today I read about a black artist who deposited some checks from selling his art; the bank called the cops on him, too.
