I’m sorry to read this. Hopefully our leaders can get their act together and get y’all some help. I will be praying for you both.

Civic leaders in Chicago are urging people to shop at Black-owned businesses on Black Friday, part of a broader campaign to boost communities of color.
The city partnered with the Chicago Urban League and local advertising agency O'Keefe Reinhard & Paul to create "Black Shop Friday," an effort to reframe the annual shopping extravaganza to focus on racial equality. The campaign features a website that lists more than 500 Black-owned businesses people can patronize on Black Friday, which is on November 27.
... cool?
If you're a racist, sure. Are you a racist?

Then Ask yourself this: Who REALLY cares MORE about Black people: The ones who tell you it's okay to kill Black People while they are at their most defenseless and then go shopping merrily, or the ones who ask you to consider THESE Women's Choice to LIVE, since they cannot speak for themselves. Their little black corpses speak volumes though, at least before they are cut up, packaged and sold for money by the butchers who kill them.
Amen!

Beat me to it. I don't think they care. At this point it's all about getting what they're owed.

Slap a wig and high heels on Mork and UMemphis, with a 12 pack of Pabst and clove cigs, and drop them off on the South Side. Their but t holes will be glazed donuts the next morning.

I work at the Criminal Justice Center in Memphis. I've seen enough weaves and fake nails to last a lifetime. That said it's an interesting place. I don't know if the jail staff and the deputies on site are trained to be unfailingly polite and engaging but I have rarely been treated so cordially.
Almost every single county employee you encounter greets you like you're an important customer. I'm talking all the way from directors and chiefs all the way down to the housekeeping staff. If there is any racism in their hearts they hide it well. I don't believe there is to any great degree though. I say this because I am one of a handful of white people there. These are largely good people with good paying jobs who for the most part just want to work and provide for their families like any other responsible person does.

That's the way most normal people act. The filth want you to believe otherwise. The vocal prog filth are the real racists. The rest of us are just out here living life and don't give two shites about race.

Thank you. It is so hard.
I am thankful the layoff occurred now rather than right before Christmas after money is spent. I know there are many others that are in a worse position financially than we are. We hadn't been touched by the Covid downturn until last week.

Thank you. I am very concerned how long it will take to find a new position with Covid and work from home.

Normal people don't refer to other people as "filth".

Why in all this movement of love, inclusion, diversity, equality and justice for all would someone tell us to favor one race over another?
Isn't that what they call... racism???

That's not whom I think of as filth. I think true filth are the Pelosis and Schumers and Sanderses and Obamas of the world who promise to take care of those people and then screw them.

I have 0 use for anyone on that side of the political aisle. None. Zero. Would laugh at them if I saw them begging for food or broken down on the side of the road, and wouldn't spit or piss on a liberal if they were on fire. Useless wastes of oxygen. Just look at the ones who post here
