My mother got one of those “marketing” emails from AARP, talking about Mr. Floyd and how they stand for “social justice”. (Take note of that phrase; it was used by Benito Mussolini all the time.) Lots of other companies doing that too, Target of course among them.
Looks like Civil War 2 to me...
I really hope something happens to make people realize how untruthful and hateful the whole BLM thing really is. But I dunno.
This is the beginning of the end. Our youth and nationalism have been lost. The old are a dying generation of WWII, Korea, Vietnam. Of the last, Vietnam, was the open beginning of what we see today. That is when we should have stood up stronger.
This is just another manufactured crisis. This is just another step the liberals are taking to make certain Donald Trump is not reelected.
Let’s review. At the beginning of the year the crisis was the soft coup of impeachment. Although that failed, it did do damage to the country.
Next was COVID-19. Not since the great depression has our country faced such a great economic threat. Not to mention the thousands of lives that were lost. Yet through it all, Democrats continued to manipulate the situation to their advantage.
Now we have riots, looting and thuggery on a nationwide basis. There is no doubt whatsoever that this is being orchestrated and coordinated by BLM and Antifa terrorists.
What’s next after this? What other national disaster will the US face? Will it be an assassination? A food shortage of Venezuelan proportions? A dirty bomb from a foreign agent? A hot war with China?
Whatever it is, we must understand that dark days between now and election day are surely ahead. And that our American enemies intend to capitalize on every crisis.
Who wants to be ruled by social justice commies? I sure don’t.
Companies have no souls.
Submit or else. Sounds so very islamic. Tyranny is tyranny. Tyranny by any name is still tryanny.
Racist, America-hating terrorist thugs.
I do Uber. I deliver food. It’s a great option right now. But check out this email I received yesterday :
Let me start by saying I wish I never had to send this email.
I wish that the lives of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and countless others weren’t so violently cut short. I wish that institutional racism, and the police violence it gives rise to, didn’t cause their deaths. I wish that all members of our Black community felt safe enough to move around their cities without fear. I wish that I didn’t have to try to find the words to explain all of this to my two young sons.
Before I say anything else, please allow me to say to you clearly and unequivocally: Black Lives Matter. Many of the people who work on Uber’s platform in America are Black, and some have faced racist harassment, including from law enforcement, when simply trying to work. I know that many of you face racial injustice every day.
And while as a company we pride ourselves on providing access to flexible work no matter the color of your skin, we also know there are situations where we have fallen short in supporting you. Right now, most of all, I want you to know we have your back.
This week has given me hope that change is possible, and I want Uber to be part of that change. That is why we’re making a number of commitments that we will uphold not just this week, but for years to come:
• We are committed to driving lasting change through criminal justice reform. On Sunday, we announced a $1 million donation to the Equal Justice Initiative and Center for Policing Equity to support their important work in making racial justice in America more than just a promise.
• We are committed to supporting the Black community. As a starting point, we will use Uber Eats to promote Black-owned restaurants. And in the coming weeks, we will cover the cost to provide discounted rides to Black-owned small businesses, who have been hit hard by COVID-19, to help in their recovery.
• We are committed to building a community that treats everyone equally and respectfully. We do not tolerate discrimination, harrassment or racism on our platform, as outlined in our Community Guidelines. We will hold everyone accountable to these standards of basic human decency, including when customers treat you with disrespect. I sent an email earlier today respectfully asking Uber riders and Uber Eats customers who are not willing to abide by these rules to delete our apps.
• We are committed to improving independent work in America, as we know that racial justice is also rooted in economic security. The status quo isn’t good enough—that’s why we’re fighting for policies that will let you choose independent work while strengthening your financial safety net, so that you and your loved ones have protection if you are injured on the job or get sick. We have more to do here, and we are committed to working with you and policymakers to make that a reality.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to those of you who continue to help move essential workers, bring people food, and support our communities during this difficult time. Thank you for everything you’re doing and please stay safe.

These people are not insane. They are evil.
I await the asteroid to hit the planet to reset us, but I’m now thinking of just taking a step back and letting God work. We will be coming to violence over this. And someone has to die.
