How to end systemic racism?

Don Beyer pushes to strip Robert E. Lee name from Arlington Cemetery mansion
and
San Francisco to rename Abraham Lincoln High School because former president did not demonstrate that 'black lives mattered to him' - as woke renaming committee also takes aim at Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein and Teddy Roosevet

stupid and stupider.

A lawsuit has been filed that accuses Trump and the GOP of violating the Ku Klux Klan Act. The complaint was just amended. It's pending before Judge Sullivan. The suit alleges intimidation and coercion of election officials in an effort to target and disenfranchise Black voters.
From what we can tell, and we're not legal scholars, this is exactly the lawsuit that needed to be brought. The essence of the GOP has been to preserve minority rule through voter suppression and worse. It's gotten more out of control, which will happen when a racist is elected.

In 1964 Dusty Springfield embarked on a tour of South Africa. Unlike a lot of other artists who went there, she put a clause in her contract that stipulated she would only play to non-segregated audiences. She and her band had just two shows under their belts when their passports were seized at a hotel in Capetown. For three days they weren't allowed access to phones and questioned by authorities who eventually told them they could only finish the tour if they respected apartheid regulations. Dusty refused and was forced out of the country. She donated all the money she made to Black South African charities. This was nearly 20 years before the anti-apartheid cause became trendy among celebrities.

You never know who the real punk rockers are until it's punk rock time.

^ that's a great closing line!

Of course he said this.   Bottomless

Trump, in a lengthy statement, decries the removal of Richmond's Robert E. Lee statue, calling it "magnificent."

"If only we had Robert E. Lee to command our troops in Afghanistan... What an embarrassment we are suffering because we don’t have the genius of a Robert E. Lee!"

I guess Trump & Robert E. Lee both know how it feels to suffer a humiliating defeat at the hands of pro-democracy forces in Pennsylvania.

interesting Conor Lamb just announced he is also running for the PA US Senate seat, up against Fetterman... could be interesting...

edit: but they are not  the only ones in the race, as there are other high profile PA Dems running as well... the question i guess is if a more progressive can win in that field.
