Great bit about slavery and how it would be told by Italians

FUNNY. Still laughing.

I think slavery would be less of an issue if post emancipation local, state and federal government had held up its end of the bargain. Slavery could be known as “THE dark chapter in American history”....unfortunately chapters keep being added to that book and it’s 2020. At every point that the country has to turn the corner, we don’t do it. We just let it fester for another generation. If we had done they right thing post emancipation, nobody would be bogged down on slavery....or it would be a lesser issue.

‘I don’t know the name Secoriea Turner but let me tell you how racist all of you are’.

… Johnson, Grant and others were the Donald Trumps of their time - just saying it makes it so. The big mistake made was by northern historians and politicians allowing the South to rewrite the history of the period. But at the end of the day as Lincoln said, the war was not about ending slavery. It was treated as a punishment for revolting rather than as something so clearly right an imperative of any human society.

This could have been done by run of the mill vandals. If this was done by FLP angry protesters they might want to bone up on their history.

They are all vandals.

I would hate to think that these particular vandals could be so stupid not to know who Fredrick Douglas was. I was under the impression that vandalizing and defacing statues was restricted to those that somehow or someway had negative symbolism? I guess it is just open season on all statues?

If the people are caught, what will they be charged with?

Stupidity and criminal mischief??

… I think it is safe to assume this was a directed act, the individual(s) responsible knew who and what they were doing. Random act, don't believe it.

Great news everyone: Baltimore murders are on a pace to eclipse last year's record!

Interesting article on the history of the Maryland State flag.

[Peter Brown]

Anyone else find it interesting that none of the Fanlax Dems know who Secoriea Turner is?

[CU88]

o d is going to get his garden somewhere south of the MD line for sure.

Rep. Gerry Connolly @GerryConnolly

I know he has a list of people he ostensibly wants to honor in his statue garden, but I just can’t shake the feeling we’re going to end up with the “Donald J. Trump National Monument Garden and Hotel.”

I think criminal mischief would work. I don't know. When they finally reach end of the trail of beer bottles they will find the culprits.

Trump has come out against the Redskins and Indians coming up with a different mascot. He said those franchises should not become PC. Trump is right...but I believe a name change is warranted. Here is a list of contenders:

The Clowns
The Savages
The Chinks
The Fighting Coons
The Arabs
The Wops
The Brown Squaws

The Washington Arabs or the The Fighting Coons would be good for co-branding campaigns with the Washington Nationals.

The Terps will look good in Red Black and Green!



Change the mascot to The Kutas!

“Cooters have derived their unusual name from the word “kuta,” a word for turtle in several African dialects brought to America in the early days of slavery.”

The Hogs !!!

The Hogs !!!

I like it.

This never happens. There is no racism in America. There is no white privilege in America.

There needs to be more accountability.
Those who call in false charges need to be prosecuted, like this woman.
And I'd be happy to see financial damages sought against bad cops (and their unions) who press charges that end up being thrown out in court.
