Interesting parallels between the invasion of Ukraine and the BLM riots.

Putin claims to be invading to rid the country of nazis and facists. Maybe he should ask Antifa how to do this.

In both cases, civilian shopkeepers end up shoveling broken glass out of their ruined businesses.

For at least that very reason, a cynic might wonder who are the Nazis and fascists.

I am pretty cynical.

Baltimore reaches settlement

Baltimore called it a success, at least compared to Minneapolis:

"...calling the police’s handling of the ordeal a success and compared the violence to unrest in other cities that was sparked by police killing an unarmed Black man.

“Despite having a population of approximately 200,000 fewer people than Baltimore, the Minneapolis unrest saw damage to 1,500 businesses, compared to 300 in the Gray unrest,” city attorneys wrote.

She seems to think these 990's and other reporting for not-for-profits are just right wing racist plots to get her and other black people. So similar to the theory that racist cops coast to coast are just looking for black people to murder.

Well, the idea that the IRS might be politically motivated is not wholly unfounded . . .

Well California is at the tip of the spear for black reparations issues so let’s just categorize the 6 million Malibu beach house as the first installment on that bill.

"Black lives do matter. I say that as a Black man myself, but the concept isn’t really in dispute among ordinary, right-thinking Americans of any race or ethnicity," LeVell wrote in the Tennessee Star. "The BLMGNF does everything it can to cultivate the opposite impression because it profits off grievance politics – but its narrative couldn’t be further from the truth."

support for BLM plummets


“Support for the Black Lives Matter movement is plummeting, including among African Americans, according to a new poll.”

I wonder if BLM support is ebbing among Guilty White Liberals. I have seen no evidence of that.

Considering how the founders used BLM as a luxury house real estate funding piggy bank, I am hardly surprised about a fall in support amongst blacks.

Kind of a great paradigm of modern progressivism when you think about it -- get vast amounts of money from those having more than 'their fair share', and redistribute and pull some African Americans into the 'wealthy' category.

Racial advancement for blacks -- check.
Redistribution policies geared to those who need it more than the donors -- check.

I wonder if Rice still supports BLM?

BC prof justifies BLM riots, calls property racist

I am convinced that the world would be a better place if possession of a degree in sociology were a capital offense.

BC, BU, BS.


At least she acknowledged the riots, not dismissing them as mostly peaceful.
