OT- Riots, who is responsible?

Could you imagine walking up to George Floyd that night and saying, "Hey George, if you try to pass that phony twenty-dollar bill they're gonna change Aunt Jemima's name"?

All these holier than thou Hollywood types and "woke" companies giving money to BLM are missing the target. Shouldn't they be sending their money to the black communities that lost their homes and the small business owners that are now bankrupt and destitute? But no, they send money to BLM to foment more riots in the future. Wait until Trump wins reelection. All hell will break loose. And it will be condoned by the party who believes the election was stolen from them. Do they even know how to win a Presidential Election? Hillary didn't.

President Trump, I'm waiting!

The last two nights rang out with gunfire in Minneapolis.

"Shortly before 11:40 p.m., two men arrived at Hennepin Healthcare with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. Police say the men reported they were shot near the George Floyd memorial site, on the 3800 block of Chicago Avenue on the city’s south side."

BLM................yeah right, sure they do.

The bangers are having a field day. Cops on the ropes. There was a stand off in N minneapolis two days ago. While the police surrounded the building where the suspect had fled, a handful of 'sisters' were having a mini protest about the pursuit in real time. All caught on camera. Imagine that. A gunman loose, police in pursuit, and people protesting the police while its happening.

Any day now the Globalist Billionaires who run Hollywood will be releasing the next Planet Of The Apes sequel...as a "HOW TO MANUAL".

I think there will always be a wealth of desperate individuals who figure that they can't make any more money doing anything else than deciding to be a cop. The better candidates with other options are being driven away.

The University Of Florida is dropping its Gator Bait cheer as the university president and maybe one or two other people in the entire world (or maybe he's flying solo and thinks he's a hero) decided the cheer has a racist connotation. Lawrence Wright, a black player who popularized the cheer, is pretty pissed off about it. I hope their crowds continue to do it anyway.

What's the controversy here... did the klan used to use black men as gaitor bait?

[DavidGee24]

I think somebody probably read it in some book somewhere once. The title of the book is something or other, it was written by someone and you can find it someplace.

Florida president Kent Fuchs said in a letter to the university's faculty, students and staff that the cheer has a “horrific historic racist imagery” involving African American people, especially children, being used as bait for alligators.

“Accordingly, university athletics and the Gator Band will discontinue the use of the cheer," Fuchs wrote.

The university's sports teams in the Southeastern Conference are nicknamed the Gators, for the ubiquitous Florida reptile. In the past, the school's band would strike up a “gator bait” tune and fans would respond with their arms doing a chomping motion while shouting the slogan.

The link to racism is borne out by news articles in years past. For example, in 1923, Time Magazine published a story about how “colored babies were being used for alligator bait” in Chipley, Florida.

“The infants are allowed to play in the shallow water while expert riflemen watch from concealment nearby," the article said. "When a saurian (alligator) approaches this prey, he is shot by the riflemen.” The Chipley Chamber of Commerce responded to the Time article by calling it a “silly lie, false and absurd.”

How can you not trust a guy named Ken Fuchs? Is that Fu or Fa? Doesn't matter...

This is the sort of mythology that Al Sharpton built a career on. He once accused Jewish doctors in Harlem of injecting black babies with aids.

The more sensational the racism the better.

Jeanie Buss got a letter from a deranged fan telling her and the other "traitors" on the Lakers to "go join Kobe Bryant". According to Buss and LeBron James, this shows how racist our country is. One crackpot letter, written by exactly one human being.

Personally, I won't be convinced until we go down to railroad yard and ask the hobo who sits around shirtless and talking to himself all day what he thinks.
