Wherever I’m allowed to, I do carry.” The vandal or vandals reportedly wrote personal attacks such as

It was a last-minute change for the Minneapolis fair, which was set to take place Aug. 7-8. Jill Osiecki, Uptown Association executive director, cited "additional devastation" in the area, including the killing of Winston Smith Jr. on June 3 on Lake Street and the subsequent protests that have rocked the area.(Snip)Part of the reason the fair was canceled, Osiecki said, was that "things had continued to escalate, with instigators blocking streets, setting dumpsters on fire and drag racing."

Raytheon CEO Greg Hayes spearheaded the campaign called 'Stronger Together' starting last summer, which was revealed through training documents reported by Chris Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think-tank.
The documents instruct employees at the weapons-maker to strive for 'equity' over 'equality', and tutor them on 'intersectionality', a world-view that critics say divides people into different categories in a hierarchy of privilege and oppression based on race, gender, sexual identity,

During the Cannes Film Festival jury press conference in France, Mr. Lee, who is the first Black person to lead the jury, spoke highly of the late film critic Roger Ebert after his widow mentioned her late husband was outraged and had even threatened to boycott the festival after “Do The Right Thing” didn’t win any awards in 1989.
“I want you to know that I have a very special place in my heart for Roger,

A United States Air Force Academy professor has argued Critical Race Theory should be taught to all cadets so that they can understand how the United States was 'shaped by racism.' Political scientist Lynne Chandler García said the Constitution brought about 'inequality' and that George Washington was a racist. She argued that the history of the U.S. proved that 'racism has shaped both foreign and domestic policy.' Garcia, who teaches Marxist theory at the USAF Academy in Colorado Springs, said she agreed with the Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Mark Milley who recently told Congress that Critical Race Theory 'is not unpatriotic.'

Our present freedom is restricted to visiting supermarkets and buying sofas.

Visit the Rotten Apple when you're WHITE and you stand a good chance of being attacked at random by an African Prince. The mayor doesn't care and the voters, who stand ready to elect another feckless Marxist clown, don't care.
