I wanted to post this, because I think things like this tend to fly under the radar most of the time. This is just another part of the slippery slope. What "context" do memorials and monuments on a battlefield need? People died on both sides of the conflict right there on that land - there are monuments to those people where they fell. There's all the context you really need, but no - we have to politicize everything with today's sensibilities and the political correctness of the moment. It's not going to ever stop.

What a bunch of dumbasses. In the megathread, there's a lot of hand-wringing over whether or not looting & robbery is justified in the context of "reparations" or other lame excuses. Jesus.

Fuck you, Graham. I voted against this shit in the primary, but SC insists on sending this worthless piece of garbage back to DC every election.

Lol - I have this exact pellet gun at the backdoor - locked and loaded - ready to take out invasive squirrels in my yard.

Also - he ran AT the guy with the gun and tried to take it from him. That's how he got shot. It's not like they shot at him first - he would probably still be alive if not for him making that rash action. It's hard to make a case that they were trying to kill him outright.

The Floyd case is different becase it involves actual cops, and there's enough questionable action on the part of the cops as to why the guy died. The Arbery situation had way too many loose ends, and that's why it got dropped so quickly.

One of the most famous Russian snipers in WW2 was a woman - Lyudmila Pavlichenko.

To top it all off, the USPS is super unreliable right now. I recently had a priority mail package take over a week to get to me - and it was sent from a location less than 2 hours travel from my house. Also - I sell a lot on eBay, and the packages are taking at least twice as long as usual.

I know a few guys like this, who will talk about how much they just HATE what's going on with pro sports, but they post incessantly on social media about their favorite teams and who's doing what, scores, etc. It's like a drug they can't get off of.

This totally fits in with the "Whiteness" graphic that talked about holding high standards being a "white" thing.

This is where we are going:

Holding anyone to any standard will be considered rascist. You expect me to do well in school and get good grades? Racist. You expect me to come to my job every day and work? Racist. You expect me to practice hard and make an accomplishment in my endeavors, whether it is in art, athletics, education, or music? Racist.

This is the participation trophy mentality gone wild, with an exclusive focus on race as the excuse NOT to succeed. It truly is a clown world.

I've been saying for years that the US is so coddled and entitled that we have to create our own problems and traumas. 2020 is the ultimate display of this fact in every way imaginable.

This is totally true. I once had a liberal female milennial in my department - she spent most of her time looking for things to complain about. If there wasn't anything going on she'd create the problems out of thin air.

I learned the hangman's noose in Boy Scouts. It had more to do with watching cowboy movies than anything even remotely rascist. I'm sure that never even crossed our minds at the time.
