Rejecting words and actions which perpetrate, support or encourage white supremacists

If he says "did we quit when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" I'll give him credit.
 
Look at what the first letter at the start of each paragraph in this resignation letter spells out.

 
Trump is kissing up to the white supremacists again at the VFW in Reno. "Remember our culture and history". Nice buzz words.

As many as 2,000 “hostile” protesters surrounded police, some throwing bottles filled with urine and punching and spitting at cops as they tried to escort participants from Saturday’s “Free Speech Rally” out of Boston Common, according to police reports filed in court yesterday.

The crowd answered an order to disperse with “a barrage of insults directed toward the officers,” the police narrative states. As cops in riot gear began pushing back the crowd with their batons and shields, “they were met with violent resistance,” the reports state. One riot cop’s face shield was cracked, while protesters tried to rip off the officers’ protective gear and grabbed one officer’s radio.

The reports filed for the arraignment yesterday of 18 of the 33 people who were arrested Saturday indicate a large-scale outbreak of violence in what was otherwise widely hailed as a peaceful protest by 40,000 counterdemonstrators.

Raymond M. Delouchrey, 28, of Taunton, was charged with disorderly conduct after he allegedly took a swing at a motorcycle cop in a bid to block the motorcade and “incite the volatile crowd.”

Shaun P. Pettey, 33, of Boston, allegedly tried to force his way through a line of officers while they were trying to arrest several protesters. When police used pepper spray to disperse the crowd, Pettey began throwing punches at the police and reached for a knife, the report says. He was charged with disorderly conduct, assault and battery on a police officer, resisting arrest and assault with a dangerous weapon

Mindless Charlotte Mayor Jennifer Roberts supports changing the name of Stonewall Street, even though nobody even knows if it was actually named after Stonewall Jackson (it arguably appeared on maps prior to Thomas Jackson getting that nickname). I've driven on or past that street thousands of times and never once thought of Stonewall Jackson.

If they change it, they should just change it to Jackson Street. That way, it can be named after Stonewall, Michael, Alan, Tito, DeSean, Jesse, Samuel L., Phil, Reggie, Browne, Pollock, Arnold, or anyone else who someone may appreciate or be offended by.

Jennifer Roberts is a fucking shitshow. She was when she was on the council, and she is now. Just the worst type of politician. Manley is nice enough, but she is just awful.

And for probably the 1st time on the boards, I will agree with 2&2. Jackson street would be great.
 
using a nickname like stonewall seems like a dumb way to remember someone and more likely a description of the wall the road likely ran past

Alamance County commissioner refers to slaves as 'workers'

An Alamance County commissioner referred to slaves as workers during a meeting of the county board of commissioners on Monday.

During an unscheduled discussion of Confederate statues and memorials at the commissioners’ meeting Monday, several commissioners stood firm in opposition of the removal of statues in communities across the country.

Republican commissioner Tim Sutton, a chartered member of the Sons of the Confederacy, then alluded to his family once owning slaves, as first reported in the Times News.

“I am not ashamed of my great-grandfather. He did what he did,” he said. “It is my understanding that when he died ... that some guys on the farm, you can call them slaves if you want to, but I would just call them workers, that they raised a good bit of my family. When the time came, my great-grandmother gave them land. I am not going to be an assault on logic, an assault on the history of this country and the heritage of this area and this country. Not going to do it.
