Even a Stephen Foster Statue? Lee Statue, No Confederate Flags or Others, CMA

JUNE 30, 2022

**  Why the decommissioned Stephen Foster statue is going to Los Angeles.  (Pittsburgh.  Had a black man playing a banjo at his feet.  Oh, well,)

**  JSAAHC weighs in on Lee statue lawsuit.  (Jefferson School African-American Heritage Center in Charlottesville,Virginia.  They want to "modify" it.  They shouldn't have gotten it in the first place.)

**************************

JULY 1, 2022

**  Only American  flags, U.S. military symbols in Redmond 4th of July parade.  (Oregon.  That means no Confederate , pride, BLM or MAGA allowed.  That's fair enough.  If we can't have our flag, they can't have theirs.)

**  CMA  Fest bans Confederate flag imagery at  country music fest.  (I wonder of that also applies to the other groups mention in the above headline?  So CMA goes the way of NASCAR.)

The Second Civil War: Stone Mountain, Juneteenth, Confederate Heritage Month, Fort Monroe, Alabama and Stonewall

MAY 1, 2021

**  A black pastor's  Confederate  memorial problem.  (Stone Mountain, Ga.  He is the head of the group that runs it.)

**  Organizers offer details on Juneteenth march, rally to remove Talbot Boys Confederate memorial.  (Maryland.  So, at what point will Blacks be asking that the United States celebrate Juneteenth instead of the Fourth of July?)

**  'There is not systemic racism' says a governor who named April as Confederate Heritage Month.  (From the Washington Post.  So, that explains it.)

**  Opinion:  Fort Monroe should be focused on its history, not its name.  (Virginia.  Well, you know, James Monroe, slave owner.)

**********************************

MAY 2, 2021

**  Alabama debates removing Confederate flag from its coat of arms. 

**  Washington County commissioners asked  to change name  of Confederate-named road.  (Stonewall Jackson.  Also looks like they might have to change name of county because, well, you know, somebody owned slaves.)

It's a Bubba Thing, You Know. Will NASCAR Recover? Another Black Activist. Shame on Sad R. and Trump

FEBRUARY 13, 2021

**  Social justice at NASCAR's forefront as new season begins.  (Daytona 500.  Good old Bubba who played his Black Card.  We were at a bar Sunday and they put on the race when it started.  You should have heard everyone yelling to turn that ____ off.  We'll see if Blacks start coming to the races enough to offset so many who won't go or watch it now.)

** At 94, Fort Worth activist Opal Lee views Juneteenth as her most important lesson.  (A black woman.   Again, how come there are so many black activists and I don't think many white ones?  At what point will Blacks demand the Fourth of July be replaced by Juneteenth?)

************************************

FEBRUARY 14, 2021

**  Virginia high court will take up appeals in Lee statue case.  (Sad R.  I sure hope they hurry up and take it down.  What the state and city has allowed those people committing hate crimes to do to it is a downright shame.  Shame on the state and shame on Sad R.)

**  Democracy Now:  White supremacy  should also be on trial at Trump's impeachment.  (Well, sorry folks.  He wasn't found guilty.)

**  Here's how NASCAR plans to recover  from a tough 2020, starting with the Daytona 500.  (Saturday I asked a guy I know who is a huge NASCAR fan when he thought about der Bubba.  I have never heard such a flow of invective as I did that night.  And, this guy goes to a lot of NASCAR races.)

Black On Black Murders and Shootings in Chicago-- Part 2: A Very Bloody 4th of July Weekend

Last month, July, 578 people were shot in the city -- at least 58 of them juveniles, including a 9-year-old black boy killed by gunfire Friday (July 31) night as he played outside on the Near North Side of the city.  July's youngest shooting victim was a 3-year-old black girl who was struck while riding in her family's car in South Shore.

A day before that, the city saw the largest mass shooting in recent memory when 15 black people were shot outside a funeral home in Gresham on the South Side.

The month opened with a bloody Fourth of July weekend that saw 79 people shot across the city, 5 of them fatally.

Eleven of those victims were minors, and two of them -- 13-year-old Amaria Jones and 7-year-old Natalia Wallace -- were killed.

Again, most of the killed and wounded have been Blacks.  And they were shot or killed by other Blacks.

Meanwhile, BLM and their white minions were having their own violent riot with police at the Christopher Columbus statue, which they demand to be taken down.  Some eighteen police were injured by them.  (By the way, the statue was taken down.)

All the while, their fellow Blacks were shooting and killing each other.  Exactly how important are Black lives to an organization named Black Lives Matter?
