Garfield Park Confederate Memorial--Its now an issue in our backyard

[actaeon277]

I love working in this condition.

...
As the material was unloading, the employee stated he saw sparks and flames coming from a 1 inch gap where the bin meets the floor.
The Operator was TWENTY FOUR feet away from the Massive Manganese bin when ignition of the dust took place, which contacted his right side, arm, and face.
Operator was sent to Plant Medical.


I need to get out of here.

I have yet to meet a dog that was an *******.

Sadly can't say the same for people as evidenced up thread here.

Lol, right!

I have been out of the conversation for a few pages but, I haven't seen any place where Kut called anyone out as racist.
.

In this thread, no. Well, other than apparently knowing more of my family history than my ancestors who put in the work to track down our family and leaving the insinuation that I was willfully hiding the fact that we were poor white rural folks in a northern state. The fact that he also completely ignored half of what was said and decided to instead focus on how many chickens they had in 1816.

But he has in other threads told me how much of a closet racist I am without even know it. The man has some serious issues he needs to address. Seeing racists e'r'where.

Who will be the Left's McCarthy

Reflecting on this more, isn't this resolution a version of McCarthyism? They have a list. A list of neonazi skinhead white supremecists in the executive branch.

Ok I am trying to get caught up on the conversation but I gotta address something in your post and I have seen/heard others saying. A number of people keep calling Confederate soldiers traitors...and I will agree in the sense they wanted to secede from the union. However, people need to keep in mind our ancestors that fought in the revolutionary war were all also traitors.

Most definitely.

For those traitors, I can trace actual heritage.





But they won.

Kut didn't call you a racist or say your family definitely didn't own slaves.

He did call you out for stating that it's a certain fact that none of your ancestor owned slaves. Because, well, there's a lot of ancestors over the 300 years stated, and it's really, really, hard to know what all they did.


Again, I ask, "What if they did?"

What if great great great great grandpa Jedidiah owned three slaves? Would that change your feelings? Would it chage how you viewed Jedidiah and his immediate temporal family? Would it change how you act? Would you feel guilt? Would it change how you argue in this thread? Would it change any perceived heritage?

I don't think it comes close to the level McCarthyism went to, we're not talking about blacklisting large groups of people for making a meeting or two early in their lives. We're talking about a man that defined what it means to be in the Alt Right.

Arguably, that was not McCarthyism. There actually were communists in the government, partly because people weren't as hung up on parties. They were expected to come to their government job and do their work. The question was not whether there were communists in the government - everyone knew there were. The problem was whether those people should be ostracized and/or fired because of it, if they were otherwise doing a good job.

That is exactly what is going on now.

If there's a good mechanic in the federal fleet repair shop who does his work, doesn't get in trouble with co-workers (even of other races), does it really matter that he's a neo-nazi on the weekends?

Well, there's a major difference here. Bannon wasn't your daily average mechanic. Bannon was heavily involved in developing the Administrations policy.

Wehner Von Braun was a Nazi and helped develop the space program.

The question really isn't who did what, it is what did they do?

What are the racist policies he developed?

So was John Wayne, I hear.

Here again he wasn't a Senior Policy Advisor to the President. Bannon was.

 

[SSGSAD]

How many people knew it was there a week ago? Now it's more important than everything that should be in focus.

I grew up, on the s'side, went to Garfield Park, many times, and I didn't know what it was .....

 

[HoughMade]

Here again he wasn't a Senior Policy Advisor to the President. Bannon was.

So what racist policies did Bannon propose?

That's not even a clever dodge.

My guess is that the ones whose cables to Moscow we were intercepting at the time should have gone to prison.

Did you read the link? Or do any independent research on the issue?

This is a quote:

... I urge President Trump to show Steve Bannon the door and purge his administration of dangerous extremists.

Oh. Wait.

Or the actual words of the actual resolution.

(B) terminate from employment with (or any contractual relationship with), and prohibit the hiring of, individuals in the White House or
the Trump Administration who have supportedor encouraged support for White supremacists;

That's a pretty broad net, fellow INGOer, that would catch many a prole.

People with nothing pressing in their lives make an issue of such trivial things, period. They`ve been spoon fed an agenda, that none of them were aware of, or cared about, and suddenly they`re outraged. Liberals are seriously mentally unstable people.

Nor any other.
