Move me on to any black square
Use me anytime you want
Just remember that the goal
Is for us all to capture all we want
As soon as I saw this picture I thought of that song.
The pandering has gotten ridiculous. Over at The Conservative Treehouse Sundance also had a great take on this:

Today democrats took a knee in a great obsequious ceremony for all to see when they presented their bill basically meant to eviscerate police departments across the country. In essence, they pledged fealty.
democrats refused to condemn – or even acknowledge- the Antifa violence:
Every Democrat in the Senate has refused to acknowledge the violence caused by antifa throughout the protests and riots that have occurred since the death of George Floyd.
The Daily Caller contacted every Senate Democrat asking if they would consider legislation to label the group a terrorist organization. Each office was given over 24 hours to respond to the question. The group has been participating in riots since Floyd died while in police custody after an officer put his knee into the back of his neck for over eight minutes while he was handcuffed and on the ground.
democrats cemented their allegiance to BLM and to Antifa when they refused to say whether they were in favor of defunding, disbanding or dismantling police departments:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Democrats have largely embraced the activists packing into streets nationwide to decry the killings of black men and women by law enforcement but so far express wariness at protesters’ calls to defund the police.
While they are clearly attuned to the cries of demonstrators from New York to Los Angeles, some top Democratic elected officials are proceeding cautiously with any suggestion they would slash police budgets to fund programs to address other social ills.
Corey Booker took the coward’s way out:
Senator Cory Booker said during an interview Sunday on NBC News that he understood the sentiment behind the “defund the police” push but would not use that phrase.
Meet the new DNC boss:
A Black Lives Matter leader has declared war on the police and plans to release a blueprint for change that involves Black Panther style armed ‘patrols’ monitoring the behavior of officers on the streets, DailyMailTV can reveal.
Hawk Newsome, Chairman of BLM’s Greater New York chapter, says the black rights group is ‘mobilizing’ its base and aims to develop a highly-trained ‘military’ arm to challenge police brutality head on.
Hawk is calling the shots now. Even at the NY Times and the Washington Post
Black Lives Matter now effectively runs the newsrooms of the New York Times and Washington Post
Soon: Black Lives Matter will effectively run big-city police departments

See this scarf they’re wearing?
About that:
I had to say something about the American politicians shameless and ignorantly using the Kente fabric as a prop in their virtue signaling.

Andrea Mitchell laments that this anti-police rhetoric could be used against democrats in the fall:

No one needs to demonize democrats. They did that all on their own. All Republicans need do it remind America of it. No one thinks the police are perfect and can’t do with a bit of improvement but Americans overwhelmingly support them.
We’ll take all those pawns.

DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
@Michael:
It is if you are punting and going to get even more people killed.
See: Floyd Riots, in which more black American’s were killed in the name of saving black Americans.
Policing is working, optimally.
Least racist time in America and least amount of blacks getting killed by the police (even when they attack the cops and kill them, which they do at a higher rate).
This is a partisan-driven narrative coup to engineer racism where none exists…for power.
There is no national conversation because nationally our police have been working well…reforms have been ongoing for years. Just more Democrat/Leftist hysteria standing on the backs of dead blacks.
The point of this article is well proven. Democrats pander to black to buy their vote…then do nothing.
Dem “leadership” in states and localities is demonstratively failed.
Black Lives Matter is not a serious organization, and just a strange re-birth of the 60s-70s Black Power movement.
I encourage everyone to take a stand and say “no” when the BLM hysteria hits there work, family, or any other place that this hatred spreads.
BLM doesn’t help blacks, and no white person has “White Privilege”.
@Nathan Blue:
The converse of “Black Lives Matter” is that Black Lives DON’T matter. Before you start pointing fingers at liberals, are you sure that the message you want to be communicating is that Black Lives Don’t matter? Because there is a distinctly racist red flag that your attack on BLM raises.
Your denial that racism exists in America is perplexing. Every time a white person pops into a Black church with guns blazing, shouting “N-word” profanities, it’s a data-point documenting racism. And every time a cop admits to racial profiling, whether or not you approve of the practice, it’s proof of the same thing. And for every injustice coming from one side of the racial divide, there is a corresponding reply from the other. Black children are TAUGHT to run from white cops. That’s racism. When interracial marriage was legally prohibited, that was racism, and the fact that the Supreme Court struck down prohibitions against interracial marriage doesn’t mean that the racist sentiments that spawned those laws in the first place simply evaporated. They didn’t. Neither did the Civil Rights Act of 1964 eliminate racism. It gave Blacks more legal protections, but white racists certainly weren’t happy about it.
Racism has survived every legal attempt to blunt its effect. The emancipation of slaves did not end racism, and neither have any of the laws that have come since then had a different effect. Or might you care to identify the date that racism in America finally disappeared?
No, racism is alive and well in America, thank you very much.
Maybe you should look in a mirror…
@George Wells:
False. The use of “this or that” logical fallacy thinking is something the Left has weaponized for decades. They build a organization or movement as a solution to a problem, then demonize anyone who doesn’t join the group as either denying there is a problem or the actual cause of the problem.
Labeling someone a “racist” in America is just like writing “juden” on you with chalk in 30s Germany. It’s meant to marginalize a group.
I never, NEVER, fucking said racism doesn’t exist, George You’re an idiot. I’m not going to repeat my words above. You can just read.
The zero-sum game for the Left is “eradicating” racism, which will never happen.
INSTITUTIONAL RACISM IN THE USA DOES NOT EXIST. THE USA IS ONE OF THE LEAST RACIST NATIONS ON THE PLANET, AND IT’S THE LEAST RACIST IT’S EVER BEEN.
You can’t legislate people’s thoughts. No laws will ever erase ignorant thinking. It’s not going to happen. It’s always situational, and individual.
But by making it a “race problem”, you can galvanize a population to go after your political enemies.
People are less free in America because of this faux racism pogrom to kill off or scare those the Left wants to beat. That’s it. That’s all this is about.
If I had a dollar for every dumbfuck that said “You’re saying racism doesn’t exist!?” after I say “The USA is the least racist country”…or…”it’s better than it’s ever been”…or whatever, I’d have a small fortune.
Who the fuck has programmed you and others to hear something I didn’t say?
That’s the real problem.
I like you George, but this is bullshit.
You can’t “eliminate” bad things. Only handle them as they come. You can’t eliminate crime (the real cause of Floyd’s death), you can’t eliminate bad thoughts or bad actions, you can’t eliminate mistakes (250,000 deaths from medical mistakes), you can’t eliminate a lot of things.
Who the hell taught this wicked generation that “eliminating” bad things isn’t evil in and of itself? When you do that, you kill more people. Last time I checked, more blacks were killed in the RIOTS for Floyd than the blacks they were all…crusading for.
I know exactly how I’ve treated people in my life, and race has never been an issue. I’ve given money that helped blacks, and I’ve volunteered time to be a father-figure for black children because their actual dad was never there. Did that for white kids too. It’s not about their race.
When you sum up the charities, taxes, and other things that have been commissioned by mainly WHITE people to serve the BLACK community, it’s Billions…100,000s of volunteer hours a year, etc.
The real issue is the white Leftists hijacked the civil rights movement going way back with WEB DuBois. They said laws would “force” whites to treat them equally.
Booker T Washington said don’t worry about the laws, just build your own businesses and wealth and blacks will be equal…because they are literally equal in society.
Instead, the Left engineered a permanent under-class they can use for their own purposes. That’s slavery.
Black President, Black CEOs, Black Billionaires, Black everything.
INSTITUTIONAL RACISM IN AMERICA DOES NOT EXIST!!!!!!! IT’S THE LEAST RACIST IT’S EVER BEEN, AND IT’S THE MOST DIVERSE AND TOLERANT NATION ON THE FUCKING PLANET!
@George Wells: But a more noble and less racist version is “ALL Lives Matter”. To some, the converse of BLM is “White Lives Matter”. To Hispanics, it would be “Brown Lives Matter”. Only racists sort people out by color and declare THEIR lives are superior and others less so and deserving less consideration.
Oh, absolutely. And the left works tirelessly to make sure it exists and grows. Racism is not killed off by legislation; it is killed off by experience. Meeting and working with people of other races opens eyes and erodes racism. However, watching riots over contrived accusations, fomenting looting and violence, creating the victim culture and promoting it causes racism to GROW. Those with the inclination to stereotype blacks as lying, lazy, thieving animals only see those convictions confirmed by the manner in which the left exploits them. Democrats since Obama was elected have set race relations back decades; MANY decades.
@Nathan Blue:
Race was the foundation of philosophical thought in Germany (and elsewhere) towards the end of the 19th century and into the 20th century. Declaring one race above all others and using “science” to prove it was not just a Nazi tenet, but far more widespread; Hitler merely believed it and utilized it. Democrats should review this historical fact and give it some thought as they make race the underpinning of everything they promote. The similarities are pretty terrifying and damning.
What do you expect them to say? They are PROMOTING racism and using it as a political weapon.
@Deplorable Me: Indeed, making “race” the underpinning of anything is a bad idea.
True, but I you CANNOT abolish racist thoughts…or ignorant thoughts…or hateful thoughts…or murderous thoughts, etc.
The funny thing is that white people the world over the LEAST racist of all races. That’s a fact.
@Nathan Blue: You can CHANGE those thoughts through positive examples. Exploiting racism, promoting protests over false accusations, inciting riots and looting sends the exact opposite message. Just like blocking a hiway and causing people to miss appointments, be late for work, possibly endanger lives does not win any hearts and minds over to BLM or any other idiot group that does it.
@retire05:
Facts are facts.
