Wow, hate to do this buuuuuuut:

Black people built what white people TOLD them to build and showed them HOW to build.

We weren't importing Architects and Engineers.

I'm still trying to find a real life example of Wakanda somewhere in Africa.....

This is completely incorrect. They have lawyered up and said they intend to pursue litigation against the school and city.

To OP sorry I know this is a thread hijack.

she'd be better served to just say she lost her shite and said something she shouldn't have. No one with half a brain believes that load of bullshite she cooked up there.

I will never understand why a business owner who has to know her client base could so carelessly put out a message that will hurt her livelihood.

Did she really think no one would see what she posted?

My facebook is nothing but kid pics and the occasional geaux tigers. Anything else is just asking for someone to come after me.

Because they see all the news saying how bad the white peole are and then couple that with all of the virtue signaling morons on social media, she thought she was safe. She thought she could gain some social points for being woke. I'm betting money so many of her white friends were so quick to bend a knee for BLM, she thought she should too. She failed to see one important thing, lots of white people are keeping thier mouth shut for fear of negative consequences. Now that she popped her head up, the white community will crush her business because they've been beat into ground by everyone else. Its white people's turn to show her how wrong she is.

It's called the Silent Majority and it is very real.

The loud mouth fringe elements (on both sides of the aisle) have been given an outsized voice by social media and cell phone cameras that it appears their opinions are main stream. Meanwhile, the VAST MAJORITY of people shake their heads at them and then go to work.

Somehow, the idiots mesmerized by the social media feeds continue to be shocked when the Silent Majority has had enough and pops their heads up to stomp on them. It happened when Trump was elected and will happen again in Nov. No one was more shocked than Hillary Clinton and she, of all people, should have been smart enough to see it coming.

One of the ringleaders of the opposition is Rick Smith, former councilman and recent failed mayoral candidate who literally lives one house off the corner of the proposed school time closure. He is currently running for the council again. If he wins, will it be considered a conflict of interest if he votes on the matter given his personal stake in the outcome?

So NOT currently on the council means he has no say. That means no conflict of interest. The CURRENT council member in question DID have a vote on the matter. To me, that IS a conflict of interest. You have an ax to grind with Rick Smith, fine. But I intentionally didn’t name the council member you are defending. FWIW, your defense is weak and anyone with any integrity can see that you are deflecting.
Based on your take, I wouldn’t be surprised if you think the Del Porto lady was “honest, but just misunderstood due to inexperience and a lack of political tact “


quote:

just want to bash private/catholic schools.


Did not happen = more deflection.

quote:

The AG said the council has the legal authority to grant the measure.


Okay...and?

quote:

If it passes the net effect on the general public outside of the school will be nil.


According to your opinion. Those who will be filing suit obviously have a different opinion.






And here is the crux of the matter...


TLDR

The only money Aquistapaces stands to lose from this is the lost business from those who will no longer shop there because of the position they have taken.

So the generous local business is the “bad guy” here?

GTFO with this BS.




To my knowledge, the leadership at the school, the store owners. and the city are working to resolve this.

She should give all her belongings to the first black person she sees. How’s that for a metaphor.

One of the greatest grocery stores around!They literally cater to every walk of life. My family from out of town spends at least 2 to 3 hundred bucks on alcohol there every time they come in to town.
