Anyone else tired of this crap?

Here in Virginia they've torn down all the historic "white men" statues!😡

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell announced Friday that, in recognition of the city’s black and brown artists, the city has dedicated $7.2 million in bond funding to public art, and has already purchased over 60 pieces of work created by local black artists.

The movie turned out to be somewhat prophetic... sadly

I noticed the raised fist is being used as a "Juneteenth" symbol.

It's called the black power fist and originated with the Black Panther Party (Marxist-Leninist black power political organization founded by college students Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton in October 1966 in Oakland, California.)

We called those afro picks when I was a kid. Lots of Black kids had ‘em. Of course, those were also the days of Soul Train, Ultra Sheen and Afro Sheen.

“All the black folks in the photo seem to be ok with it”

Probably because they got their piece of the pie. 👇

Or a bucket of fried chicken; this was all Hollyweird fake stuff in movies that purported to show how/what blacks ate.

Shouldn’t have been a giant hair straightener and then next to it a giant wig (we’ve all seen jerry springer?-) and then a giant hair extension?-)

I remember in high school in the early 1970s the brothers walking around with a hair pick like that stuck in their hair. It also made a good weapon too.
