If I read that rag I’d boycott it again. Sadly, I don’t even read it when hotels give copies away for free.

If the night ever comes when the editors are dragged from their beds and hung from streetlamps, the survivors will no doubt wail over the violation of a free press.

USA Today should change it’s name to USA Yesterday. They are purely racist for even implying what they stated.

This is just the beginning. BLM is targeting people and business who post # All Lives Matter on Facebook.

I know of a couple of business and people getting targeted now.

It is going to get ugly real quick. BLM has been empower and they are going to use it.

The next victims will be descendants of slaveholders. This will be use as a reason to redistribute wealth.

I was speaking with a colleague today and we discussed how glad we were that our company and the parent company have said nothing public.

One wrong word, and that word can be fine today and redefined tomorrow and they burn your plant down.

Better to remain silent.

Read it, I don’t even waste the energy to pick it up outside my hotel door.

I did over 80 hotel nights last year. Most don’t even deliver to the door and still have stacks at the desk at 9pm when I’m checking in.

I’m not a lawyer, but this sounds like borderline extortion: “Give us money or support, or else.”

So Cisco created a public Google spreadsheet and titled it “Theaters Not Speaking Out.” It was open for anyone to edit, and it had a simple directive: “Add names to this document who have not made a statement against injustices toward black people.”
