They just watch for white guys when it comes to terrorist attacks on federal installations.
Or they are just bunkering down since the black Federal Services Officer was killed in Oakland.

These people want to destroy the "white establishment" because the leaders of old were flawed people who did some things that should be condemned and learned from today. What they blame on white men is actually the foibles of human nature. You think things would have been better if black people were in charge? Or women? Ask the major Democratic cities run by black women how things are going today.

Personal responsibility is lacking in that culture.

Nobody noticed while this was going on?

Like I posted earlier, immediately across the street from the Federal Reserve (Atlanta Branch). Flanked by four other federal buildings and Gallier Hall, the old city hall.

This is exactly why I am pulling the lever again for Trump in November.

The Whites will fight back. It is historically inevitable. This will only end in bloodshed. History is a slaughterhouse. We are not special.

McDonogh was a white slave owner who profited from Black people who were forced to work for their freedom over a period of 15 years. He developed a program where slaves he owned could buy their own freedom, generally over the course of 15 years while he took in money from their forced labor before they were able to earn their freedom.

My first ancestor in North America was a British man who was convicted of stealing bread for his family to eat in England. He was sentenced to 7 years of indenture or until he could whip his master. He served 3 years as an indentured servant and then whipped his masters arse to gain his freedom. He was white as the driven snow but ended up sold into bondage for simple theft. I’m glad it happened though because that sentence led to my ancestors being American and I was lucky enough to be born into this great country. So slaves of African descent were , by far, not the only race of people sold into bondage in the past.

Let it lay. Don't clean up behind the rabble's shite. Let NOLA truly show the world what kind of place its residents yearn for.

Yep. People have no concept of context. McDonough lived in a different time. Things were different. Shocking I know.
What's funny is that the vast majority of people supporting BLM don't realize that they are actually perpetuating the socio-economic disparity currently facing black people.
