Funny that there is no mention of ANTIFA here either. "White nationalists" are the problem according to the local paper...

Full Biography
I am an historian of film, mass media, race, and African American history. My first book, Envisioning Freedom: Cinema and the Building of Modern Black Life, is a history of early African American cinema from the 1890s to the 1930s. In the late nineteenth century, an era marked by mass migration and Jim Crow segregation, African Americans were pioneers of American cinema. They produced and exhibited their own motion pictures, often transforming black churches into motion picture theaters during off hours. These film exhibitions raised money for black institutions, created shared social experiences, and broadcast ideas about racial uplift. As African Americans integrated the moving pictures into their aspirations for black progress, a vibrant black cinema culture developed across the pathways of turn-of-the-century migration. These developments informed the first mass black protest movement of the twentieth century, which politicized the demand for visual self-representation and articulated the belief that mischaracterizations in film constituted "civil death" and a violation of "natural rights."

Not a day goes by that I'm not thankful for living far south of Bloomington. The bloated corrupt university and the closed factories on Curry Pike tell the story of that town.
You forgot to add antifa types in their safe space for all.From the indianapublicmedia page:
"As Mayor, I have spoken for our City to condemn white nationalism and white supremacists as a scourge on our country and our community, and to promise that we will do all we can to overcome their legacies and any current efforts,” Mayor John Hamilton said in the release.
“We also want to assure that everyone knows that all are welcome in our inclusive Bloomington unless you're one of those white nationalist produce growers, and that our Farmers’ Market will embody those values of inclusion and welcoming (except you white nationalist tomato vendors), as well as be a safe space for all the LBGTQRSTUV, POC, child transvestite community to gather, as our community expects every Saturday.”

a lot of people down there and the other progressive sites are blaming the 3% ers. They are the ones that escalated this. They are the ones in all black with the masks intimidating people. Really? Are they? How about some 1%ers show up down there for a real good fight.
First of all, I'm absolutely shocked to learn that she's a professor at IU. Shocked I say.
Second, she's an Asian woman that has built her career studying African American film. Seems an awful lot like cultural appropriation to me.
Apply purple as needed.
I dunno. Maybe it's just me. But before I get bent out of shape over white nationalist farmer's markets, I'd kinda want some evidence that they're actually white nationalists. And if they are, yeah, maybe protest. But you can't violate their rights anymore than you'd want them to violate yours.
