'Pay!': Protesters demand reparations after claiming church near White House as 'Black House Autonomous Zone'

Washington Examiner ^ | June 23, 2020 | Nicholas Rowan

Protesters behind the White House on Monday night claimed the historic St. John’s Episcopal Church as the “Black House Autonomous Zone,” vandalizing four of the church’s columns with the acronym BHAZ.

John Cheeks, a former independent candidate for D.C.’s nonvoting at-large congressional seat, stood outside St. John’s, bellowing into a megaphone about the historical evils of the Episcopal Church, which, he said, as an institution was one of the four largest slaveholders in American history.

“The other three were the Catholics, Methodists, and Presbyterians,” he added, before demanding that all white Christians pay cash to black people for the sins of these churches.

WRONG WRONG WRONG, The Largest Institution to Hold and Sell Slaves was and still is the DEMOCRAT PARTY, but we should also include AFRICANS and MUSLIMS

“Useful idiots” are called idiots because they should know they’ll be the first at the firing squad.

And about an hour ago Trump tweeted “there will NEVER be an autonomous zone in D.C. while I am President.”

So....are we FINALLY going to send the troops in?

Just a small photo, but I’m not seeing too many black folks in that pic. Hammy

Autonomous....OK...cut all water and utilities and tell them that since they’re autonomous, they have to set up a trade deal with the federal government to pay for services. No emergency services will respond to anything. No hospital runs. You’re on your own.

Lets see how long the college kids last.

What they should have done in Seattle, but when you have a mayor and governor that is complicit in your activity and support it, not sure it can be done like that.

So immediately after claiming the church as their own they deface it. This is sounding all too typical of some communities...

I have modified Kipling's poem, for a parody which reflects the situation the progressives have placed us in:

Paying Progressive Dane-Geld

It is always a temptation to an entitled population
To call upon a neighbour and to say: —
“We rioted last night—we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away.”

And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you’ve only to pay ‘em the Dane-geld
And then you’ll get rid of the Dane!

It is always a temptation,  with Orwellian dictation,
To puff and look important and to say: —
“You are oppressed. White men caused this mess.
We will pay you public cash to go away.”

And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we’ve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.

It is wrong to put temptation to a youthful population,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say: —

“We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that pays it is lost!”

We have been paying Dane-Geld to progressive ideologists and cultural Marxists  for more than 50 years. The cost has been in the trillions. The damage done to our society, moral and Constitutional norms, is incalculable.  It must be stopped, before our nation is lost. We came very close to losing the nation.

This country is falling apart faster than the USSR did from 1986-1991. Mark my words, there will be no more USA in 5 years.

This building was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960. There needs to be consequences here. This isn’t a Stabucks.

I don’t care about slavery. In fact you can cram it up your arse. And if you want to look at history and behaviors let us look at all history. Haiti? Zimbabwe or most all of Africa for that matter? African American run cities in the US? How about black crime? How about blacks treatment of others? How about Rwanda? How about a list a mile long?

I will not take a knee nor will I pretend that we whites should bow our heads in shame. FU all.

I hope Catholic Bishop Wilton Gregory notes the slander against Catholicism. Not that Catholics didn’t own slaves; Georgetown University once sold 272 that it had collected from wealthy benefactors to work in the plantations it used to feed students and the professors who worked for next to nothing.

Is it all about the Benjamen's?

Sounds to me like they wanted to take Lafayette Park and failed.
Looks like they need a better crop of warlords.

Losers want money, their leaders want to destroy our country. Can’t wait for Trump re-election and Winter.

Um, or anywhere ELSE in America, President Trump!!!

There's a difference. The majority of Americans love our country and don't buy into the identitarians' bull Obama.

Anti-Christian Leftists. They aren’t godless, they are ANTI-God.

I don’t know about that anymore. All the tech companies are left. Almost all the media is left. All the schools are left. There’s nothing left.
