Columbus statue taken down in Tower Grove Park in St. Louis
The statue's removal Tuesday makes St. Louis the latest city to contend with controversial monuments amid national protests for racial justice.
Finally removed that POS from Tower Grove Park in St. Louis. Hated passing by that stupid statue every time I went to Festival of Nations.
I know the Italians that live in The Hill are pissed

Checked out the Seattle CHOP (formerly Chaz) after work yesterday. It was pretty laid back, watched a few speakers and saw some cool art work from protesters. I just hope it doesn't end violently when law patrol decides to take a stand (I know it'll be hard to come to a compromise but am hoping for the best).
Lots of tents and interesting to see people planted crops right in Cal Anderson park.

I am waiting for Brothers of the movement, in support of Black women. I was a part of one myself before covid hit, and it was a blessing to hear those stories. Black women sharing their pain, disappointment.

I love the argument that we're somehow "erasing history" by removing Confederate flags, statues, etc. from public spaces.
It's like that time they removed all Nazi propaganda from the public sphere in Germany and everyone forgot about Hitler, WWII, and the holocaust.

a lot of people will never understand or refuse to understand. I have felt like this before. It feels like defeat, anger, and disbelief all rolled into one.
I feel that brothers fight or flight response to my core. Angriest I have ever been was being detained as a young adult.

"Erasing history" is their go to cover for their racism. It's like saying you go to Hooters for the wings or read playboy for the articles. They know how much racism and slavery is associated with the confederacy and that's why they want it to stay. It's their way of being racist in the background to "remind" the black Americans they used to be slaves as a form of subtle intimidation. Basically saying "You May be free. But we're still in charge."

These rich fools need to stop with the BS!!!!
Here are the FACTS!!!
Average White high school dropout earns more than Black college grad - Rolling Out
A study completed by researchers at The New School titled “Umbrellas Don’t Make it Rain: Why Studying and Working Hard Isn’t Enough for Black Americans.”
rollingout.com
Falsehood No. 1: Black and Latinx families have less money because they’re led by single parents.
Nope. A 2017 study from Demos and the Institute on Assets and Social Policy showed that single-parent white families have twice as much wealth as two-parent black and Latinx families.
In other words, raising kids in a two-parent household doesn’t close the racial wealth divide.
Falsehood No. 2: Black people are poor because they’re less educated.
Hard no. A 2015 study titled “Umbrellas Don’t Make It Rain” found that black families led by college graduates “have about 33 percent less wealth than white families whose heads dropped out of high school.”
In fact, according to that 2017 Demos study, “The median white adult who attended college has 7.2 times more wealth than the median black adult who attended college and 3.9 times more wealth than the median Latino adult who attended college.”
In other words, higher education doesn’t close the racial wealth divide.
Falsehood No.3: Black people don’t work or are bad with money.
Definitely not. Demos found that white families actually spend more and save less than black families with the same income. Yet white families have way more wealth than black families with the same income.
The Umbrellas adds that “white families with a head that is unemployed have nearly twice the median wealth of black families with a head that is working full-time.”
In other words, not even income alone can close the racial wealth divide.
So if these arguments are all false, what’s really going on here?
The simplest answer is a history of oppression and inherited advantage. The impacts of slavery, sharecropping, Jim Crow, white capping, red lining, mass incarceration, and predatory subprime lending, among many other things, are still very much with us.
Many white children, by contrast, start life with a more robust safety net of family wealth. It may be as small as getting a few hundred bucks from their parents when they really need it, or as big as a few hundred thousand for things like college, weddings, or their first home.
Addressing these problems is a lot harder than blaming oppressed people for their hardship. But if we’re going to address racial disparities in this country, we must heed James Baldwin’s challenge that “nothing can be changed until it is faced.”
It’s not individual behavior that drives the racial wealth divide — it’s a system that many folks pretend doesn’t exist.

You've heard it from me several times. You can only call a person racist so many times before they become racist. I'm glad that you submitted the Coal Gang questionnaire as your experience making white people turn into racists by call them racists will help us figure out how to call libbies conservatives enough times so that they have no choice but to vote for our President ELECT.
