Asheville, the Richmond/Charlottesville of North Carolina (This Is Not a Compliment Either). Why Black People Have Been Injured or Killed By the Police.

JULY 14, 2020


**  Yes, take down the Confederate statues.  But the founders are different.  (Washington Post.  Well, at least they are putting the Founders in a different category.)

**  The most 2020 protest just happened in Fort Mill.   But what will the town do?  (South Carolina.  It was done by a virtual meeting.  Letters were written and read by city council.  It was not violent.  Sorry BLM.)

**  Confederate monument removed from Buncombe County Courthouse.  (Asheville, N.C.    Figures, Asheville is the Sad Richmond/Charlottesville of North Carolina.)

**  Trump asked  why Black people  have been killed by police:  'So are white people'.  (Well, true.  Of course, the real big reason why some Blacks are injured or killed by the police is that they break the law and then resist arrest on the rare occasion they are caught.  Their chances of a bad outcome in this situation drop greatly when they cooperate.  In other words, cooperate with the police if they stop you.  Try to out-polite them if you can. Watch Chris Rock's "Eight Ways Not To Get Your Ass Kicked By the Police" video.  If you follow his advice, you probably will not have a bad problem.)

**  Anthropologist hates Confederate statues but isn't eager to dump them.  They can teach a meaningful lesson.

Seriously, Watch That Chris Rock Video.  --Old Secesh
