I bet you're married to a white woman who's ultra-rightwing conservative like Ginny Thomas, the woman who worked for the racist John Birch Society.

It will be interesting to observe the Conservative response to the “brawl” in Alabama. If history is a guide, there will be some fault found with Black people coming the aid of a Black man. I’m sure Fox and other Conservative outlets will opine.

I've seen memes on FB: "Not happening in a small town." 😂☺️🤣

I find this discussion fascinating. The Florida department of education can’t properly name people who benefited from slavery, yet they still have Conservative support. The department is allowing Orager U to lie to elementary school children and Conservatives stand mute. If you disagree with the nonsense, you are accused of creating division. I am actually glad that I signed up for the website. You get to see the emptiness of Conservative policies on race. The Alabama legislature is a prime example of how Conservatives feel about Black voters. The Alabama legislature wants Blacks to be docile and be unable to cast a vote. None of the viable Republican Presidential candidates will say a word about the atrocity.

Conservatives caught a huge case of the vapors when there were arguments for defunding local police departments. Now Conservative Presidential candidates are shouting defund the DOJ and the FBI to protect their lord and master Donald Trump.

Defunding the police is a very bad idea (insane). There should be serious independent civilian oversight of law enforcement agencies by real adults (commissions) with teeth.

I lived in California for 68 years before moving to Georgia 4 years ago. I worked for the California Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation before I retired as a Correctional Counselor Supervisor. Georgia is a different animal, especially the very poor running of its jails and prisons. The feds are currently investigating the unusual death rates in Georgia prisons/jails, especially at the Fulton County Jail. I constantly read about black inmates' dead bodies being discovered by correctional staff and covered with insects (bed bugs).

A Black man, Patrick Braxton, ran unopposed for mayor in 2020 and after winning, named an all-Black town council. The existing white mayor and majority-white council responded by seeking to oust him and retain their offices.

You will never see that mentioned by the administrators of this site.

You will also read nothing of the Conservative attempt to stage a coup.

Donald Trump has nothing to lose and will continue to be a significant threat. I wouldn't be surprised by further white domestic terrorism before or after the 2024 elections. I'm always adding necessities to my stash.
