Confronting ‘zombie mindsets’ and a Charlottesville martyr

Quote
----------
Bill Leonard, a founding professor at Wake Forest University School of Divinity, inadvertently anticipated the domestic terrorism that killed counter-protester Heather Heyer at the Aug. 12 Klan/Nazi rally in Charlottesville.

Months before that, after being tapped to give the divinity school’s fall convocation address, Bill had hit on the complex title of “Redeemer Nation and Lost Cause Religion: Making America Great Again (For the First Time).”

He could have just titled his message “Charlottesville,” as he acknowledged when he took the stage at Wait Chapel on the campus Tuesday. His theory suddenly had new meaning in the world far beyond academia...

Is there any reason we can't have both on the $20? One press makes the Tubman bills, another makes the Jackson bills. Problem solved.

Why not have Gov. George Wallace and MLK on the same bill.

Andrew Jackson was a really bad person. He has no place on any American currency.

Moreso because he almost single handedly caused the 2nd worst depression in US history. But yeah, he also sucked as a person.
 
You can argue Jackson's Indian Removal Act was the beginning of the white led genocide against Native Americans. His racism reshaped America forever.
 
 
President Trump Unlikely to Nominate Gary Cohn to Become Fed Chairman

After Charlottesville and Trump's reaction, Gary Cohn made sure to leak how upset he was, but he stayed on because he wanted to become Fed chairman. Instead:

The shift in Mr. Cohn’s prospects for the top Fed job arises largely from his criticism of Mr. Trump’s response to the violence in Charlottesville, Va., the people familiar with the matter said.

Well yeah, because that would require them wanting to condemn white supremacists which they have shown time and time again they have no interest in doing.

As BSF4L (RIP) said, there's plenty of love for all groups on the Trump Train.

Although it must be asked, was he a Russian bot?
 
He popped back up for about a year where basically all he did was troll for Donald. Around the time the election ended he disappeared.
