I read the article. The editor sounds more like a ā€œhitmanā€ whoā€™ll go after anyone as long as the price is right. Now that heā€™s been fired, I wonder if the Trump campaign will attempt to engage his services.

Iā€™m sure, under some incredibly twisted logic, the grossly negligent, if not homicidal, drivers of those vehicles are:

Agreed. And itā€™s a lovely little mountain town (though hella-expensive to live there now). A friend of mine just took her kid and their friend up there to go hiking, and she said the confederate monument is all covered up and the square around it has BLM stuff everywhere.

An injustice was done in the 18th century, recognized as such in 1963, and yet ever since then, thereā€™s always a rule or reason in the way of correcting it.

The judge wasnā€™t impressed by the ā€œitā€™s just the rulesā€ defence.

In his decision, Campbell said racism ā€œis embedded within the systems that govern how our society operates. That is a fundamental historical fact and an observation of present reality.ā€

The court also noted the Land Titles Clarification Act ā€œcontains no reference at allā€ to a person being required to prove they have lived on a property for 20 years in order to get title to it, noting the government has been incorrectly applying the law since at least 2015.

ā€œConsistent application of an unreasonable standard cannot make it reasonable,ā€ Campbell wrote.

So thatā€™s why Harriet Tubman is trending today.

What an attention-whoring asshole Kanye is.

Tubman was said to have pulled her revolver on fugitive slaves when they grew so exhausted or terrified that some wanted to head back.

I can scarcely imagine how little patience she would have had for the likes of Kanye.
