"The Nashville Chapter of BLM has this policy in place to center the voices and experiences of people of color that have historically been excluded or segregated within supposedly public spaces,"

Historically? Long before any of these self-important millennials were born.

These BLM people are out of their mind. This was the BLM response when the Library said they could not have a meeting at the Library because they excludes a group of people on tax funded property.

“Due to white supremacy in our local government, this week’s BLM General Body Meeting location has changed,” a notice posted Friday on the Nashville chapter of Black Lives Matter’s Facebook page reads. The notice says the group’s meetings are “open to black and non-black people of color only.”

Exactly! Enough is enough. Have you ever heard Jewish people go on like this? Even women, our rights were not equal with men, but that was before my time. It doesn’t effect me. Some people are so angry, looking for excuses for the mistakes they alone made in their life. Take some personal responsibility, good grief!

” caterwauling” Had to look that one up - thank you! My new favorite word, lol.

(of a cat) make a shrill howling or wailing noise.
“the caterwauling of a pair of bobcats”
synonyms: howl, wail, bawl, cry, yell, scream, screech, yowl, ululate
“we could hear those felines caterwauling all night”

On the bright side, the longer and louder the #BLMers caterwaul, harass, and play the victim card, the more it hurts the Dem nominee in the general. It’ll be a constant reminder to independents just how crazy and angry the Left is.

The wife and I voted in the library in Hermitage, TN. Sadly this area has gone down like Antioch as I recall when across the street from me was a farm of some 60 plus acres or more owned by the Bonner family. It was beautiful with race horses like my attorney owned,regular riding horses my next door neighbor boarded, etc. To think this crap could go on during and election is BS.

Nashville Public Library officials have told Nashville’s chapter of Black Lives Matter that meetings that welcome only people of color can’t take place inside the city’s libraries.

That decision has outraged members of Black Lives Matter, who say the library canceled all future meetings the group had organized for later this month.

But library officials say they’re simply enforcing a library policy that says all meetings at their facilities must be open to the general public and news media.

“The library didn’t cancel anyone’s meeting,” said library spokeswoman Emily Waltenbaugh, referring to a Black Lives Matter meeting for Saturday morning that the organization has now rescheduled for a church instead.

“We’re a library,” she said. “We’re taxpayer funded. We have to be open to anyone anytime.”

For the past few months, Black Lives Matter in Nashville has held its chapter meetings at the North Branch Library in North Nashville.

According to Joshua Crutchfield, an organizer of the Nashville chapter of Black Lives Matter, the group has a rule: Only black people as well as non-black people of color are allowed to attend the gatherings. That means white people are excluded from attending.

They want white slaves. The funny thing is anyone who pays
income tax is a slave. A slave to the state and its bureaucrats.

Because churches love segregation? (I'm joking: I know some do.)

Our environmental science team used to meet at the public library. Nobody ever tried to walk in and get free lessons on animal pelts or soil layers, but if they had, we couldn't have said no.

If you asked them why black racists are good, but white racists are bad, they would just stare at you blankly.

These ‘activists’ are too dumbed down and government dependent to do these things on their own. a ‘community organizer’ (read putrifacted Acorns) has to ve stearing and organizing this vacuous brained chattle of the democrats.

“Sadly this area has gone down like Antioch”

My Aunt just moved from Antioch to Hendersonville. She said Antioch has become a third world country full of illegals and Somalis brought in by Catholic Charities. They’re getting a full welfare ride because they’re ‘refugees’.
