Question:

If the multiples monuments and statues are removed and history erased, then did slavery ever exist?

Lots of checking required these days.

Hmmmmmmmmmm

400 years and most of those employees probably have an average age of around 40 so they’ve only lived 1/10 of those years...

so if you must just give them 1/10 of the money $40 each then collect it back to repair the city ...as loyal oppressed people they will be glad to contribute...

Note: In my spare moments I pen articles for the Babylon Bee.

Everyone knows where this is going, right?

Can you say George Floyd federal holiday?

Everybody is to use that day to get on their knees in the public square.

A random white person will be executed by black thugs as part of the festivities.

You heard it here first!

Since these 40 hours are being given to compensate for 400 years of slavery, then doesn’t that mean that anyone accepting this time off would be “fully compensated” and would no longer have a grievance?

Sounds like a fair trade: give every African American 2 weeks off, and we will stop talking about race forever.

Love Portlandia and Armisten Need to binge. Thanx for the clip. I tested and I’m from the Mediterranean (grandparents from Sicily) and England and Ireland (my mom’s side) as i thought. I guess that is still white. But every one came through Sicily at one time or another

O.K., Mayor.

If you need to reach me, I’ll be spending the week grieving at the beach. And I’ll be very sad while I’m there, I promise.

Why do we have a House and Senate when Mayors and Govenors write their own laws by edict?

Would it be wrong to take that time to contemplate the racism of the PGA pre-Tiger Woods? Do it 18 holes at a time.

A former co-worker took his paternity leave that way.
