About 100 people gathered outside the Fourth Precinct police station in north Minneapolis on Thursday to celebrate ÂThanksgiving with friends and family brought together in a time of turmoil.
They huddled around fires, prayed and gave thanks while sharing overflowing plates of donated food beneath the falling snow. It marked the 12th day of protests outside the precinct headquarters since Jamar Clark died after being shot by police Nov. 15.
The gathering, which protesters called âBlacksGiving,â came a day after Clarkâs Âfamily laid him to rest. At the Wednesday funeral, more than 300 people paid their respects and said goodbye to the man whose death has drawn attention from around the nation.

They should just call it "Stupid Nomenclature Idea Day" and get things all out in the open. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

I get the distinct impression that the ‘donations’ were not entirely voluntary.
Andrew Wilkow once said that worst abuse he ever got in response to something he said “on the air” (satellite radio isn’t really “air”) was (paraphrasing):
I have never been thanked by a welfare recipient.
Biizness as usual for my nizzles!
“Blacksgiving”??
Nope.
GIBSMEDAT?
Youbetcha.
The Minneapolis Star Tribune: They don’t call it the Star and Sickle for nothing.
From restaurants paid for by George Soros?
Since when to Communists pray? Don't they tell us that school prayer caused jim crow?
Folks who refuse to fend for themselves and demand everything are usually the first to go when society goes belly up.
They’re singing at their own funeral right now.
“Blacksgiving”
Reminds me of thirty five years ago when sullen blacks were wishing each other a “Black Christmas”.
