It's hilarious seeing the right trying to paint BLM as a terrorist group, even though the only ones calling for, violence, looting and cop killing turned out to be white supremacist groups pretending to by antifa and a boogaloo boy who shot and killed a cop and a federal security guard while trying to hide inside a BLM protest. Yet utter silence from the right on these after initially screamed like a baby on fire about BLM and antifa being behind them. I think for right wing conservatives “terrorist“ is just code for “People (especially brown or black people) doing things I dislike”. Nah, you're thinking of "immigration". |

Well no one ever accused your lot of being rational. Or ethical. Or intelligent. I’m in a band? I’m American? Huh?! |

Ante Bellum as we all know is Latin for 'before the war' - any war.
It is used in the USA to mean anything before the Civil War.
It's used a lot by antique dealers to define furniture in the style of the Southern States before the war.
For the band to feel it necessary to change their name is really woke to the highest degree.
But as van says to then try to sue a black blues singer is ironic to an even higher degree!

That's the point that van and her lot have humiliatingly missed. Wokers never get it right.

So, the point I made and van got that you didn't is the point we never get.
Yeah, that really makes sense.

Sounds like nobody was very upset, and it was fixed.
Why would they deface it, though? It's not like it celebrates keeping certain races as slaves.

perhaps that's the problem, black lives haven't mattered to many for so long in the US, its clearly an affront to some that so many are now saying they do.

I did find this amusing, a bunch of white country singers who have changed their name to Lady A, for, reasons, and patented the name are now suing the black blues singer who's been Lady A for ages. Ultimate in white privilege. www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-53361278What’s funny is they changed their name to be more woke....yet are now demanding a black singer give up name of decades for them. Doh! Yeah, but Lady Aryan is in no position to throw stones here. |

So, yeah, that picture... is the message that being racist and being opposed to racism are equal and equally extreme positions?

Imagine how much easier it would be to social distance if Trump's administration wasn't deliberately provoking protests by sending in unmarked Feds to snatch people off the street without cause or process. |

Again, that rather goes against why they sent in the secret police.

I don’t understand why “pro-freedom” people are apparently comfortable with secret people snatching people off the street.

It's not them getting snatched that's why.
