Yep. For six decades I never knew I was doing the White Power sign!

The defining photograph of the attempted insurrection on Jan. 6 was that of a man strolling through the broken halls of our national Capitol, amid the smashed windows and assorted rubble of the failed coup, proudly brandishing a Confederate flag on his shoulder and hoping to overturn an election decided largely by Black voters. It’s an image that tells the story not only of Jan. 6 or of the Trump presidency, but also of all the steps that led to that moment — the whole history of hate in America captured in one frame.
This deadly connection between white supremacy and guns runs throughout our history. In 1866, armed Confederate loyalists stormed the Louisiana Constitutional Convention, murdering 34 Black Americans in an attempt to block suffrage for freed slaves. In 1898, an armed White mob in Wilmington, N.C., proclaimed a “White Declaration of Independence,” then killed at least 60 residents before replacing the multiracial local government with white supremacists. In 1921, mobs of armed White residents of Tulsa attacked the Black neighborhood of Greenwood, murdering as many as 300 Tulsans for the crime of being Black and successful. In 1955, Emmett Till was tortured and shot in the head by White vigilantes. And today, mass shootings – from the church in Charleston to the supermarket in El Paso to the Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wis. — have been committed by white supremacists filled with hate and armed with a gun.
Simply put, if the Confederate flag is the primary symbol of white-supremacist hate, the gun is its deadliest weapon.

And because of vote fraud denial, the authoress overlooks one of the BIGGEST stories of the 2020 "election":
...an election decided largely by black voters...
The Democrats automated the black vote in all the swing states.
In future "elections", the Dems don't need the blacks to turn out at all. As Jao Xiden put it - "they don't need your vote".
They've been replaced by Dominion voting robots. And how much do you pay a robot?
NOTHING.
And how many political favors do you do for voting robots?
NONE.
The blacks will get nothing, and like it.
” the failed coup”
No bias there, no sir!
I think it hated me, though I loved the little rifle.
Well, a lot of the videos of the cheating, assault and intimidation of Republican poll watchers in PA, GA and MI was done by blacks, so, yeah, I guess you could say they won the election for Joe and the Ho.
Brk.
A history book I used for Jr. High students had an illustration of a black family relaxing outside their shack. I asked the students how they could know that the people shown were free, not slaves. Kids didn’t see it. The shotgun propped up by the door meant they were free.
Come and take ‘em, Sharon.
This is of course Newspeak for “we must disarm anyone who will not submit fully to us and the total control of our government over all aspects of their lives.” “White supremacy” is just today’s made up excuse for what the authoritarians have always tried to do to the little people. Race of course has nothing to actually do with what they are trying to accomplish in creating a weak, unarmed, easily controlled populace. It’s just their favorite rhetorical tool at the moment.
The is the emotional delegitimization of conservatives. “They’re all evil haters, hate and fear them, disarm them for your protection.”
Spray and pray.
Generally works.
No.
It’s obvious that my ownership of a humble S&W .22LR is entirely responsible for all those heinous racist incidents, most of which occurred prior to my birth. I will turn it in now! /sarc
And when is New York going to decommission or renumber Interstate 88, which runs from Albany to Binghamton?
8 is the number of H, the eighth letter of the alphabet, and you can see where this is going.
This Sharon Risher broad should see a proctologist.
Her pea size brain is wedged firmly in her a**.
Then why are blacks shooting each other?
Wow. Blacks are much higher than hispanics and white US citizens are really low.
But we payed surrender monkey on a coup and theft of a presidency and the ripping down of statues so forgive me if I don’t have much faith in the grabbing of buns being fought against.
Talk is cheap. And there’s been way too much of it on our side
[[This article is such a joke. ]]
So isn’t the publication WP
If you have to go that far back in history for your examples of what you think is today’s reality, you are not only desperate, but insane.
If the Wash. Post had a basic insanity test for its writers and OP-Ed contributors, they’d end up with empty pages every day forever.
I would bet my last penny that the guy with the rebel flag was an antifa plant. We real conservatives from the South learned long time ago that only southerners are jailed for trying to have the same rights that Yankees have. I’m from the deep South and I haven’t forgotten any of the deadly war against us that will never be over even though none of us ever had a slave. Those still keeping slaves are democrat Yankees. So there, I said my piece.
