Left/dems/media all denying reality

[mRad]

Disregard

[Diamondback]

I think that's called "sarcasm". You know some Watermelons are saying exactly that and meaning it...

[Averageman]

Merrick Garland is a crook.
Drops mic, walks out.

[Diamondback]

The whole Pedo Joe Bitesdung regime are terrorists, rats-ass traitors and crooks.
Drops mic, walks out.

FIFY!

Imagine the bullet that was dodged by keeping Merrick Garland off the SCOTUS. Matt Walsh rightfully called it the one thing the Republicans have done right in the last two decades.
So every once in a while it's good to recap what those in charge (left/dems/media/hollywood/big tech) want us to be forced into accepting as actual reality and should be accepted or else: men can become women; it's good to have the rest of the world flooding across our borders (and related, shuttling said illegals around the country in the middle of the night is normal and just fine; "the middle of the night" is not 2 a.m. and 3 a.m as Jen Pahsaki was quick to point out as the administration's defense); BLM good, anyone who was angry enough to even look at the Capitol is bad; this was the most secure election in history; hurting a LGBTQA+pie-r-squared person's feelings is the same as being an axe-murdering serial killer who just chopped them into tiny, rainbow-colored bits; any white man who contributed to the formation of this incredible nation is as evil as Hitler; any career violent felon who fights with or tries to kill a police officer and loses is deserving of sainthood and would have cured cancer if not for being struck down in the prime of their miserable and mostly awful, womanizing lives; it's okay for professional athletes to beat women (unless they do it in an elevator and get captured on film) but not okay to have a decade old email statement from one man to another man that might have hurt a third man's feelings; Randy Moss can beat his wife and is okay with it but is brought to tears by the allegedly "hurtful words" in the aforementioned email (get the f&%k outta here you fake-a## jerkoff); it's just fine and it's a Constitutional right for a woman to kill her child (still waiting to see where that's actually written in the Constitution) and claim it's her body but if I refuse to have an experimental fluid injected, that will affect my actual body, then I'm being unreasonable, don't have the right and my idea of free and freedom is irrelevant; according to the POTUS that just won't go the hell away, BHO, those parents that are outraged at the public school system for allowing boys to go into girls' bathrooms and for the crap known as CRT being forced on everyone are examples of "fake outrage" the fact that the left absolutely deals in nothing except for fake outrage notwithstanding; things are better under this useless, worthless, brainless, freedom and America-hating administration (although no one can actually point to anything actually better; how's those gas prices, empty shelves and first-rate military operations working out?); it's okay and not absolutely completely insane to have the government spy on every bank account in the country and tax us on unrealized capital gains!??? Punch yourself in the face, hard, repeatedly, now, if you think that's okay in any possible scenario; and if you mention any of these obvious truths publicly, it's not the insanity that's wrong, it's you and you alone who have the problem, are not allowed to have an opinion and you should be cancelled or be removed from society or both, immediately before anyone hears your "hurtful words' and has their itty bitty, sissy, panzy feelings hurt. What in the world will these freaking climate fearing imbeciles have done to this country after four more years of this??

"Black space" is not racist while of course White space would be unthinkable.

"Yet my resentment was not analogous to the white resentment of generations past (and of now, I’d argue). White resentment has always been legitimized..."

Try to get a similar article published by the NYT but with Black and White flipped, then tell me again which group always has their resentment legitimized.

Ms. Aubry Kaplan is a journalist and author who grew up in the South Central section of Los Angeles and nearby Inglewood.

About a year ago, I decided to build a library on my front lawn. By library, I mean one of those little free-standing library boxes that dot lawns in bedroom communities around the country — charming, birdhouse-like structures filled with books that invite neighbors and passers-by to take a book, or donate a book, or both.

I’d spotted the phenomenon on walks through upscale, largely white neighborhoods around Los Angeles and immediately resolved to bring it home to Inglewood. Why not? A library is not so much a marker of wealth and whiteness as it is an affirmation of community and cozy, small-town camaraderie that Inglewood, a mostly Black and Latino city in southwestern Los Angeles County, has plenty of. We deserved no less.

Prepandemic, Inglewood was gentrifying, another reason I’d been inspired to do the library: I wanted to signal to my longtime neighbors that we had our own ideas about improvement, and could carry them out in our own way. There are organizations that help people build these little libraries, but I did mine independently. I envisioned it as a place for my neighbors to stay connected during the pandemic. The wooden post on which the library sat was a stake in the ground, literally.

The response to the library was slow at first — it was the first in the area, and some people mistook it for a birdhouse, or a mailbox. But I was pleased to soon see people stopping by to browse and take home books.

Then one morning, glancing out my front window, I saw a young white couple stopped at the library. Instantly, I was flooded with emotions — astonishment, and then resentment, and then astonishment at my resentment. It all converged into a silent scream in my head of, Get off my lawn!

The moment jolted me into realizing some things I’m not especially proud of. I had set out this library for all who lived here, and even for those who didn’t, in theory. I would not want to restrict anyone from looking at it or taking books, based on race or anything else. But while I had seen white newcomers to the neighborhood here and there, the truth was, I hadn’t set it out to appeal to white residents.

Now that they were in front of my house, curious about this new neighborhood attraction, I didn’t know how to feel. By bringing this modern cultural artifact here from white neighborhoods, had I set myself up, set up the neighborhood? Was I contributing to gentrification and sending the wrong message about how I wanted the neighborhood to be?

What I resented was not this specific couple. It was their whiteness, and my feelings of helplessness at not knowing how to maintain the integrity of a Black space that I had created. I was seeing up close how fragile that space can be, how its meaning can be changed in my mind, even by people who have no conscious intention to change it. That library was on my lawn, but for that moment it became theirs. I built it and drove it into the ground because I love books and always have. But I suddenly felt that I could not own even this, something that was clearly and intimately mine.

...

Ultimately, the moment with the couple I saw through my window raised for me a serious moral question about how I should act. Screaming at them to get off my lawn would be adopting the values of the oppressor, as my racial-justice activist father used to say. Yet my resentment was not analogous to the white resentment of generations past (and of now, I’d argue). White resentment has always been legitimized, and reinforced, by legal and cultural dominance, a dynamic evident in everything from the rise of Trumpism to the current battle against the political boogeyman of critical race theory.

My little library, affirming as it is, is also an illusion; it can’t save our neighborhood. Still, in 2021, it has become increasingly important to maintain and grow Black space, on its own terms. As I watched the white couple peruse my little library, the most complicated feeling of all was the brief, bittersweet satisfaction I took in watching them drawn to my lawn, and to my idea. It felt empowering and hopeful on the one hand, defeating on the other.

So what message do I hope they took from my library? The same message I wanted to send to the rest of my neighbors, my community: Black presence has value — in every sense of the word, and on its own terms.

That value should make the casual displacement of Black people untenable, even immoral. And that will take much more than a little library to rectify.

I think there is denial on both sides of the isle in the US any more. People on the right/conservative side of things are in denial of this country being a socialist haven now. Looks to me that all of Marx 10 pillars of communism have been met with government control of about every aspect of your life on one level or another, yet we talk about stopping it. The left/socialist commies continue to repeat history by moving the country towards their so called socialist utopia while denying that it has never worked out because, like every attempt before, they are going to do it right this time.

Now they are going to start melting down Confederate statues to appease these people who want to destroy and rewrite our history. Really, is there a difference between ISIS and these lefties here???
