In Tennessee a White Supremacy Karen whose kids go to private school is demanding changes to the public school curriculum. It's really getting to the point where they simply want the ears of every child plugged when it comes to America's history with race. So what is the real history of this region? And how do they approach this history? Yeeeeaaaah.

Interestingly somebody I know put this video up. When I called it out as classic trolling he asked why I thought that. [sigh]
I noted that coming into a quiet space designed to make minorities who have historically been abused by police with a "Police Matter" sticker is not just trolling but it's actually pretty textbook racism. These are just two entitled punk-assed bullying white boys who are having fun using people's bad racial experiences against them. (I'm sure they're Tucker Carlson fans.)

Yeah the dudes were trolling. They wanted the reaction and the argument that followed. The problem is this is a no win situation for the camera person. She'll not get what she wants, which is for the dudes to leave, and she'll be held up to the white world as one of mouthy black women that are rude, a "Karen" who is black.

Poor little babies are out in the open for all to see the kind of racist bozos they are. Challenge: See if you can discern the subtle way this character dismissed the news. Fallout begins for far-right trolls who trusted Epik to keep their identities secretThe colossal hack of Epik, an Internet-services company popular with the far right, has been called the “mother of all data lodes” for extremism researchers. Some of those named in the data have already lost their jobs. In the real world, Joshua Alayon worked as a real estate agent in Pompano Beach, Florida, where he used the handle “SouthFloridasFavoriteRealtor” to urge buyers on Facebook to move to “the most beautiful State.” But online, data revealed by the massive hack of Epik, an internet-services company popular with the far right, signaled a darker side. Alayon’s name and personal details were found on invoices suggesting he had once paid for websites with names such as racisminc.com, whitesencyclopedia.com, christiansagainstisrael.com and theholocaustisfake.com. After Alayon’s name appeared in the breached data, his brokerage, Travers Miran Realty, dropped him as an agent, as first reported by the real estate news site Inman. The brokerage’s owner, Rick Rapp, told The Washington Post that he didn’t “want to be involved with anyone with thoughts or motives like that.” Asked why his name, email address and other personal information were listed in company invoices for the “racisminc” and Holocaust-denial domains, Alayon said the data was “easily falsifiable,” that he was the possible victim of extortion and that The Post was “fake news.”www.seattletimes.com/business/fallout-begins-for-far-right-trolls-who-trusted-epik-to-keep-their-identities-secret/

Aaaaahhhh, the cowardice and victimhood of those who want to be able to spread their (vile, IMHO) beliefs anonymously to avoid having to actually be associated with them. I'm waiting for the whining about "freedom of speech." Of course they don't have a clue that there's nothing in that clause of the Constitution that guarantees anonymity.

Now that Carlson is going full bore Replacement Theory the rest of the Republican klan is jumping on the bandwagon. Since the Trump years started their racism has gone from being apologetic or dog whistles. It's out in the open now. White supremacy is now a pillar of the Republican platform. Is it any wonder they didn't bother trying to pass that platform out loud prior to the 2020 election?

White supremacy is now a visible pillar of the Republican platform. FIFY. It was just a hidden pillar before.

This has been predicted for years. A grand jury in Tennessee just let a violent felon off the hook after he attacked a BLM protest with his car. There's tons of evidence including social media posts before the incident where he joked about running over protesters. Welcome to Jim Crow 2.0 where white people attacking black people isn't a crime.
This is just the start of the violence. I have no illusions that it's remotely crested.

I guess Ginni Thomas just thought that Crystal Clanton had a right to her opinion.

The infamous Unite the Right rally had private funding. Hmmmmm. What are the odds that at least a chunk of that money came from Russia? After seeing their investment in the NRA I'd say odds are pretty damn good.

“Trying to”, indeed! I know I‘ve mentioned in the past (whether here or on Legacy TRS I can’t recall) the efforts among some to split the county I live in. Fortunately for us, the effort must have been a bridge too far for even Flori-DUH’s legislators to consider taking up. Turns out—and I only found out thanks to some reporting by the *college* paper (!!)—the individual behind the agitation is a big poo-bah in the state-level JBS. As far as the last sentence in the quoted post goes, JBS is well on the way to getting its wish in Flori-DUH, too, starting with Jeb!’s rush to charter schools all the way through Supreme Emperor’s loosening of the requirements for a student to go to a private school on the taxpayer’s dime.

I really didn't know that group was still around; the people who were members, yes, but not the organization itself. I guess that doesn't matter. The crazies are gonna do what they do.

The artist grew up in the era when Crayola had a single "flesh" colored crayon that they relied on for humans, and he/she never got past that.

Other side of the Holocaust? There's another side to rounding up people because of who or what they were and systematically working them to death or just killing them? Mein Kampf perhaps?

Those would be books that declare the Holocaust was Fake News. The Charlottesville marchers probably have plenty of them. "Teach the controversy"

"Teach the controversy" Yeah I'll contribute a lot of money to send those folks off to visit Auschwitz/Birkenau. They can stand in the test gas chamber with the door locked.
