| Sears was at the Arlington School Board meeting and a crowd of protesters were outside, one woman was holding an incredibly racist sign up high for all to see. I don't blame Spanberber for one wacko holding up a sign, but dozens and dozens of people must have seen it and not shouted her down. Not a good look for Arlington. |
| Thinking about this a little more, this woman was probably in her 70s, assuming she grew up in Virginia segregation wasn't some abstract thing for her, she would have grown up in the middle of a segregated south. I'm sure she has a story of how she opposed segregation, but there she was, proudly holding up her sign. I'm also sure there will be defenders saying it was racist but it was satire to prove a point. It was racist, right there for all to see. |
Wow. On another note, why are modern day protesters with signs always 70+ YO white women with short hair? |
|
She's saying the stance on trans kids now is the same as the stance on black/white water fountains then. This has GOT to be fake MAGA outrage because no one could be so dumb as to not understand what she was saying. .Can't you get the black vote without lying Trumpers? MAGA manipulative scum post right here. |
Except that it’s not the same issue. No where close. |
Yes it was racist, but... |
I’m a black woman and I think there’s definitely an analogy. I’m not alone. |
Only people who still watch the news and have an abundance of free time. |
Please explain how allowing males into female spaces is the same? At all? Unless you say any form of segregation is bad - even if based on sex. If identity is all a choice - there is no such thing as being black, so I guess I could get there with that view…. |
The analogy is a threat, stand with us on every issue or we'll support the return of Jim Crow. |
You understand that saying one is a "black woman" is without meaning these days. I - a 99.9% of European decent person with XX chromosomes - could say I am a Pacific-Islander man, and if that is how I see it - then that is true. |
| Are we sure the photo is real? Did anyone see it in person? I thought perhaps it was a fake/altered photo. If not, just wow. |
| I mean, it's provocative for sure, but maybe it's necessary these days when our president is complaining that our museums spend too much time focusing on how "bad" slavery was . . . |
