No one talks about it, but I would imagine that the listening audience is probably 98-percent white. And if you went into the Minneapolis neighborhoods burned and asked about NPR stuff...most all of the area would ask what network is that?

National Pubic Radio had the program of including a skit with an adolescent drinking menstrual. They are sick. Like Satan, they sometimes tell a half truth to appear righteous. They need to be rejected, shunned like leprosy or Covid 19 active!

This Republic is hanging on by a thread. The Founding Fathers cast their pearls before swine.

Sanitize your radio by removing the NPR signal.

Dare I suggest that in the Canon of English literature, White authors ARE the “First Peoples”?

Gonna be a pretty empty bookshelf.

Guess this tactic saves the bad optics of book burning by getting people to purge their own books.

That’s a perfect opportunity to strike back right now. Surround that statue in Virginia peacefully and do not let them take it. It is part of the South’s heritage. Sometimes typing and writing and speaking isn’t enough.

I’m second generation from Italy so I guess those statues should not have much meaning to me, according to some.

But they do. The South has a rich history and it’s an important part of American history and it should not be stripped away.

At the same time the South had slaves, immigrants in the north were being treated like garbage. Hypocrisy knows no bounds.

I can’t imagine a statue a portrait of anyone that doesn’t have one bad story behind it. Because everybody’s got one bad story in their life. This is ridiculous.

I would love to see patriotic Virginians stop that statue from being removed.

and those that do try have my word that if they ever try to remove the Columbus statue from Manhattan I will be in front of it and will be willing to go to jail to protect it.

Many of us were the first time and we let de Blasio know.

At the worst we were going to take it to Staten island. But he backed down. Just a little pressure is all that is needed

Funny story...I was once in a book store and they had Hillary’s book for sale. It was marked down to $2.00 because it wasn’t selling. LOL!

“This Republic is hanging on by a thread. The Founding Fathers cast their pearls before swine.”

It happened on our watch. Ironically, we were tolerant. We were busy with our lives and grew complacent.

The Greatest Generation passed the mantle to a generation that neither earned it nor, apparently, deserved it.

Harsh yes, but I’m feeling harsh this morning.

LOL! And it would be an “I can read” sort of book.

As in, “See Lakquisha run! Run, Lakquisha, run!” and “See Washingson run too! Run, Washingson, run!”

Don’t worry Amazon or Kindle or Google Books will just delete authors for them.

Book-burning is coming.

You can smell the flames off in the future.

Yes, thank God for the internet to save us from ourselves. We just cannot make correct decisions on our own.
