Let them try to figure out how to incorporate the latest bizarre and clumsy initials, such as BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of color) or QTPOC (queer trans people of color).

Must be, what with me believing that the current crop of humanity came from three brother patriarchs named Shem, Ham and Japtheth . . .

Just tell the fools that you are like Shaun King, a white guy who says he is a black guy and is getting away with it.

That should stump them. Might even lead to lawsuits.

"And all vendors must obtain the proper licenses through the city of Harrisburg."

Even vendors of color?

Re: Free vendor space for people of color

A great opportunity to locate everything that has ever been stolen from your house or your car.

or can they go to the head of the line without shame?

Many of them already do that anyway.

I throw leftovers out into the yard for the birds, but it also attracts skunks.

A little spray tan makes a white person acceptably black, just like a dress and makeup can make a man acceptably feminine. It’s all about appearances in the world of wokeness, not substance.

This needs to be taken to court as arbitrarily discriminatory and divisive, and not inclusive. https://www.hbgflea.com/about

Seems racist and actionable in court.

This is why the biased owners of Advance Communications and PennLive and Patriot News (and many other leftist leaning publications across USA) took away the right and ability of their customer readers to comment directly on their news stories. The article would have been full of noteworthy critical comments asking how this discriminatory action will make us unified.

Very true about PennLive following a leftist agenda and eliminating opportunities for other viewpoints to be voiced. BTW, I have visited this flea market. It is a postage stamp tiny one lot market that is mostly utilized by local urban “artists” who pedal arts, crafts and recycled junk. I toured on a busy Saturday and no more than 16 stands were occupied. Don’t think more than 24 could be shoehorned in. This is not a commercially viable operation, but a collective probably operating on a lot provided free by the city redevelopment organization. The article makes it sound like something much bigger than it is. PennLive is magnifying a flyspeck to emphasize and promote how woke and progressive the Harrisburg community is becoming.

Thanks for the feedback. You are likely right on the money that PL is promoting a flyspeck and woke narrative. I miss not having the ability to give and receive feedback on these kinds of stories and read how others see it. They prefer to keep the public under their thumb and not have the ability to publicly critique them.

I was almost ready to resubscribe with them when they pulled comments. Back when they first went 3 days a week it became a chore to read the paper. I wish Central PA had a good news source.
