George Floyd....

Oh,




Wait......

I wish alternate universes were visible. I would LOVE to see this event but with a black officer. I wonder if it would be on any of the news channels outside of Minneapolis? I'm guessing it would be a COVID death accelerated by the resisting of arrest.

I see an influx of many people from the cities, white, Asian, Hispanic and a few Muslims moving to Montucky where they only have to deal with one black man from Deer Lodge.

Truck sales will go up.

I am looking at the crystal ball that shows all police departments made up of only black and Hispanic officers. All white officers will be partnered with a minority officer...no exceptions.

Eventually there will be no white policeman in this country outside of Mayberry-esque places.

Yes, I know that we all know that racism is wrong. However, it is my opinion that the only people screaming "racism" are the people who are actually racists.

Finding out what the left is really doing is easy. Just look at what they are accusing the right of and apply it to them.

Dumb question.


You already know the answer.


Instigators don’t want facts. It won’t fit their agenda.



How many marches and protests took place when the innocent 5 year old was shot during a drive by and died, choking for air with a sucking chest wound, in her mother’s arms?


Hmmmm
No agenda = no fuqs given.


Sad/disgusting but reality.

I got a long-winded virtue-signalling email from the CEO of DoorDash:

Like many of you, I read about the inhumane murder of George Floyd and Amy Cooper’s abuse of privilege last week. With this latest injustice coming on the heels of the murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and so many others over the years, my emotions have ranged from anger to sadness to depression. In the same week we were able to send two astronauts on a reusable rocket into outer space, we also witnessed some of the worst behavior of our humanity, juxtaposing two ends of our human capabilities.


This is not a usual email, and I still don't think I've found quite the right words to express my thoughts. But here goes.


To all of those hurting, especially those in the Black community, know that we at DoorDash stand with you and support your right to be seen and heard. I won't pretend to fully understand or even speculate what you're going through, including the injustice you may face daily.


Instead, as the leader of a company whose mission is to empower local economies, I believe that DoorDash also has a responsibility to take action toward creating what we want to see realized in the communities around us. Silence and inaction equal consent, so we commit to speaking up and taking action to fight injustice, inequality, and discrimination. But I also know how important it is to listen and learn when people with lived experiences are speaking. We must do both in order to truly do the work to make this week, and every week that comes after it, better.


While long term action is needed, we are announcing the following steps today—developed in partnership with our Black@DoorDash Employee Resource Group (ERG):

We will use our platforms, both DoorDash and Caviar, to highlight and support Black-owned businesses and Black entrepreneurs.
We are donating $1 million, with $500,000 going to Black Lives Matter and $500,000 to create a fund to be directed by the Black@DoorDash ERG towards state and local organizations.
We are creating formal structures to ensure we are hearing from our community, starting with the Dashers of Color Council. This group will be formed in the coming weeks and will advise our company on issues facing Black Dashers, including safety and access.
We are reaffirming our commitment to combat racism and discrimination within our company, on our platform, and in our communities. We will also use our voice to support policies that are proven to reduce police violence.
We will be collaborating with experts to identify ways to combat implicit or explicit bias on our platform and to design strategies to change the written and unwritten rules in our industry that affect Black communities the most and have the greatest potential to advance justice and inclusion.
We will continue to hold ourselves accountable to increasing diversity in our leadership teams—inclusive of underrepresented people of color—by tying progress to job performance and promotions, and by rejecting hire requests that have not interviewed a diverse slate of candidates. We will expand this to all managers and employees in the future.

Justice is not a relative term. There is no grey area. We will continue to use our voice and platform to make progress together.




With respect and love,

Tony Xu

CEO/Co-founder, DoorDash

How about a month ago when the elderly white couple were killed by a black man in a cemetery? Crickets.....

As long as they were overweight and on their stomachs, handcuffed behind their back, and a knee to the neck for 8 minutes, sure....

This in reference to the Aubrey case here in Georgia.

We all know they were white privileged. Only people with money go running for fun, they had it coming. How will people stand for social injustice if you don't kill people to make a point? Peaceful protesting does nothing. If anything, those peeps should be celebrated for their courage....

I hate people.

Not how it works. Officers are not expected to check your heart rate, cholesterol, BP, and oxygen levels prior to reducing the threat.

If he used the technique 100 times on a cross section of people and they all lived, it helps his case dramatically.

Maybe someone in that much physical stress shouldn't fight back?

I hope those young ladies were able to apologize for putting their killers in such a horrible position.

Yeah, I don't care if an establishment is owned by whites or blacks. Or Chinese or whatever. If the establishment looks interesting, and if the menu looks like it has something I might enjoy, then I will frequent that establishment. My choice of where to go to eat has nothing to do with race, but taste.

Same with shopping for clothing, or shoes, or going to get my hair cut. My choices have nothing to do with race. Letters like this helps promote racism. Sure, they think they're doing the "right thing", but they're actually segregating black-owned establishments. Actual racists will say "hey, I didn't know that restaurant is owned by blacks - guess I won't be eating there anymore".

He's talking about the rioters, right?

[Little Red L98.]

Speaking of protests, what do y’all make of this. Undercover cop or an “adversary” wanting to throw fuel on a fire. Taken supposedly at one of the marches in my town and posted on FB. Police were already there in full force.
