Former Georgia KKK meeting spot plans to ditch Confederate flags and acknowledge its racist past - "A Georgia park that was once a Ku Klux Klan meeting spot plans to disavow its racist past by ditching Confederate flags - but won't destroy a controversial mountainside sculpture. Stone Mountain Park, which sits around 15 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta, will remove an image of the controversial carving from its official logo. The sculpture, which sits on the north side of the park's eponymous Stone Mountain, shows General Robert E. Lee, Confederate President Jefferson Davis and General Thomas J. Jackson. It is the largest Confederate monument ever crafted, and is protected by Georgia state law. Stone Mountain Memorial Association CEO Bill Stephens presented the proposals to the park's board, including the removal of the carving from its logo, and Confederate flags from the park. He said Stone Mountain needed to change to remain financially viable but said there were no plans to remove the mountain carving, explaining that he didn't want to 'cancel history.' The board did not immediately vote on any of the proposals, which also include renaming the park's Venable Lake. The park is a popular hiking and tourist destination but is replete with Confederate imagery. The proposals come amid a national reckoning on race that brought down dozens of Confederate monuments in a span of weeks last year... The celebration of the Confederacy at the park is used to 'oppress people,' said Bona Allen, with the grassroots group Stone Mountain Action Coalition... The coalition last year proposed that the association remove Confederate flags at the base of the mountain, change the names of streets and other park features with Confederate affiliations and refocus the park around such themes as racial reconciliation and justice."
From 2021
Apparently people who never visit the park are oppressed by it. And those who choose to go there and get triggered need to be protected from themselves

Black Lives Matter Leaders Aren’t Capitalist Converts, They Still Want To Dismantle the U.S. - "people are asking questions. They include people like Michael Brown Sr., the father of Michael Brown and Lisa Simpson and Samaria Rice, the mothers of Tamara Rice and Richard Risher. All three had children killed by police in situations that BLM claimed showed the anti-Black bias of law enforcement. They have each complained that they haven’t seen a penny from BLM. Brown’s declarations are the most poignant since it was after his son’s shooting in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014 that BLM emerged into a nationwide organization with real political muscle. He released a video in 2020 asking where the money had gone that raised off of his son’s name. The two mothers, meanwhile, have called on The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF) to stop capitalizing on their tragedy. "We don’t want or need y’all parading in the streets accumulating donations, platforms, movie deals, etc. off the death of our loved ones, while the families and communities are left clueless and broken," they wrote in a statement. "Don’t say our loved ones’ names period! That’s our truth!" Just where is all that money? New York magazine broke the news last week that BLMGNF had purchased a $6 million California mansion and went through great duplicitous lengths to keep it hidden. The Washington Examiner’s Andrew Kerr meanwhile revealed earlier this year that BLMGNF had also spent $8 million a Toronto mansion that had been the headquarters of the Communist Party of Canada. This comes atop revelations last year that BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors had bought several other mansions worth millions. The Internal Revenue Service hasn’t the foggiest where the rest of the money is. We are not talking about chump change here. The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF), the flagship of BLM, itself affirmed that it raised over $90 million during the George Floyd riots of 2020. But as Fox Business’ Danielle Wallace reported in February, the attorneys general of California and Washington State have had to suspend BLMGNF’s fund-raising capacity because it is delinquent on its 2020 financial reports. The mainstream media has finally had to report on this story, because it became a farce that they hadn’t. So even the Washington Post’s Karen Attiah is now asking, "Do they think we’re stupid? For years, people marched, got tear-gassed, donated and literally put their lives on the line in the hopes of Black emancipation — not a Black influencer McMansion." The problem is much deeper. For years, Attiah and most other journalists have hidden the truth about BLM. The goals of Cullors, Alicia Garza, Opal Tometi, Melina Abdullah, and the other founders of BLMGNF have always been evident —at least to those listening. Garza was very clear about her all-encompassing goal when told a gathering of Marxists in Maine in 2019, "We’re talking about changing how we’ve organized this country … I believe we all have work to do to keep dismantling the organizing principle of this society." You got that? This is what they mean to do, a root-and-branch transformation of everything American, so that when they are finished, the only thing that will be left the same will be the name, if that. Just to make sure that everyone understood, our very home-grown Vladimir Lenin spoke plainly about power. "Power is very much about deciding who gets to make decisions and who doesn’t," Garza told the enthralled Maine leftists. "Power is about deciding where resources go and where they don’t go, and why." Capitalism, she says, is racist. When I associate Garza with Lenin, the leader of the revolution that made Russia communist in 1917, I am not being gratuitous. Cullors years ago told anyone who would listen that she and Garza are "trained Marxists." They are indeed, trained by committed communist theoreticians intent on bringing down America. Cullors approach is also total. In a video that has now mysteriously gone private, she said the organization doesn’t just want to defund police – it is intent on "getting rid of police, prisons and jails, surveillance, and courts." No society survives that, and they know it. Abdullah, the daughter and granddaughter of committed communists, meanwhile tweets with disdain, "It does not hurt my feelings when white-supremacists call me a Marxist. I’d be much more upset to be dubbed a capitalist." Tometi praises Venezuela’s "participatory democracy."... Stalin, Brezhnev, Andropov, Chernenko and all the other leaders of the Soviet Union all had their country dachas. Don’t be fooled, they loved their beautiful homes but they also hated capitalism and never gave up the Marxist fight. BLM’s leaders haven’t become capitalists or changed their minds about overthrowing the American system. It’s just more comfortable to plan the revolution from inside a $6 million mansion."

Thread by @VigilantFox on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "Five years ago, the world watched America erupt over the death of George Floyd. The left called it the “summer of love.” What followed was anything but. It was chaos. It was violence. It was destruction. And, according to Victor Davis Hanson, the entire movement was built on a lie—a psychological operation powerful enough to divide a nation and destabilize its foundation. Only now, half a decade later, are we beginning to see it clearly and reckon with the wreckage it left behind. 🧵 THREAD...
Five years later, Hanson said, the country is finally beginning to ask what it all really achieved. “Looking back at all the damage of the downtowns in America—many of them were destroyed. Today, they have not recovered.” Race relations are worse. Public trust is fractured. And the very institutions that rushed to virtue-signal have been discredited. “Look at the universities who were chastised by the Supreme Court for using race in a racist fashion in admission. They've been discredited.” “And the people who capitalized on the death of George Floyd are, for the most part, discredited.” Now, Hanson believes, the country is starting to sober up. “We're trying to come to a conclusion,” he said. “Why in the world did we go completely collectively insane?” The lockdowns, he argued, did more harm than the virus itself. The idea of defunding police has proven to be a dangerous fantasy. And the so-called anti-racism movement squandered nearly all the goodwill it once had. “Professor Kendi… went through $45 million [at] Boston University for an anti-racist center. And apparently the money was squandered.” “So we’re getting back to the idea that when you use race in any fashion for bias or preference—it’s racist.”"
Perhaps Black Lives Matter was right about the nuclear family - "much of the current animus against the nuclear family is driven by the trendy anti-patriarchy narrative saturating Western society since the 1950s, while suffocating the accumulated and tried-and-tested wisdom forged over the centuries. “There’s a general assumption now that every man in a position of power is or will soon be corrupt and oppressive,” the American poet Robert Bly wrote in in his bestselling 1990 book Iron John: Men and Masculinity, in which he dissects how masculinity and manhood have become increasingly maligned in modern society—especially in academia, the media and popular culture—resulting in younger men turning away from the more positive aspects of their XY chromosome birth right. “Yet the Greeks understood and praised a positive male energy that has accepted authority.” BLM would appear to disagree with those Greeks (as well as with many other learned individuals of yesteryear). Another part of the deleted BLM text read: “We dismantle the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work ‘double shifts’ so that they can mother in private even as they participate in public justice work.” In an episode of The Spectator’s Americano podcast called “Is fatherlessness tearing America apart”, Mary Eberstadt, a senior fellow at the Faith and Reason Institute and author of Primal Screams: How the Sexual Revolution Created Identity Politics, argues that the BLM protests that shook America, and further afield, over the summer were about far more than just concerns about racism. “The fatherlessness of America has now poured out onto the streets,” Eberstadt says, noting that innumerable studies illustrate how fatherlessness is linked to adverse outcomes for children, ranging from drug use to promiscuity to education failure. “This is probably the best documented fact in sociology in America that no one wants to admit.” She explains this fatherlessness goes beyond the literal sense to a more abstract level that includes an absence of – and aversion to – institutional patriarchal authority, such as commitment to church and religion, and love of one’s country. This provided the context, she says, for why the iconoclasm that began with the destruction of Confederate statues then, rather bafflingly, expanded to the tearing down of all manner of statues such as the Founding Fathers and even religious figures. “Anything that looked like a father was the object of animus”... humans are social creatures: we learn by watching and imitating, but “the sexual revolution has taken people out of the lives of the young, it has shrunken the family, it has disrupted the family, and so social learning has been impeded in this massive way.” And it was this process that culminated in “the political theatre that poured out into America’s streets,” including, she notes, attacks often aimed at family-occupied public places. In all of that, she says, we witnessed a “great familial discontent and envy of people who have been able to, despite the sexual revolution, continue living in intact families.” In unpacking the roots of identity politics that go back to black feminists in the late 1970s, Eberstadt notes how, similar to the manifestos of that era, in the deleted BLM text the word or notion of a father is never mentioned. All male figures, including brothers or sons, have been erased. It’s pretty sinister to consider—certainly as a man. Are we really that bad, so deserving of enemy status? I was struck by BLM’s use of the word “disrupt”, as it reminded me of my tactics classes while training to be a British Army officer to defend the UK against its foes. We were taught that “disrupt” was a so-called military mission verb that involved a commander integrating direct and indirect fires, terrain and obstacles to upset an enemy’s formation or tempo, interrupt his timetable and decision-making process, or cause his forces to commit prematurely or attack in a piecemeal fashion, all of which would undermine his chances of survival. The army doctrine manual also noted that disruption is never an end; it is the means to an end: defeat of the enemy... it would be a bit rich of many of us, certainly now, to demean the nuclear family after that was all we had to fall back on when Covid-19 lockdowns swept the carpets from under our feet. It was those much-maligned Baby Boomers, increasingly blamed for ruining the world, to whom many of us had to turn, and whom took us in without question. Such unconditional love is hard to find, and that challenge shouldn’t be underrated."
Race, Riots, and the Cops - "Michael Hendrix: when white people see a video of unjust police abuse of a white person, it may make us angry, sad, or uncomfortable, but most of us don't see ourselves in the position of the person in the video. But when black people see the video of an officer kneeling on, say, George Floyd's neck, their reaction is much more likely to be, that could have been me or my son or my friend or my brother. And he says, in general, it seems clear that when confronted with a story about one of their own dying at the hands of police, black people tend to internalize while white people tend to compartmentalize...
Rafael Mangual: I think there's a lot of truth to that, which is to say that I think it's true that people do have those sort of disparate reactions along racial lines. And I think part of that is because there is a sort of cultural thread that runs through the black community that is one kind of rooted in this idea of solidarity... if you look at the data on police use of force, many of the studies make very clear that for example, the rate of violent crime is a much stronger predictor of changes in police use of force for a particular neighborhood, than racial demographics. And I think Coleman hit that on the nose when he talked about the real sense of fear that a police officer feels when he walks up to a car during a traffic stop, and I do think that it differs between communities but I don't think it's purely a matter of race... police by and large are a group that is characterized much more by professionalism and restraint than by bigotry and violence... I recently wrote a large piece for the Federalist society that looked at a database of lawsuits filed against the NYPD, it contained more than 2000 lawsuits and they were like a couple dozen that had been resolved in favor of the police officers. And it doesn't say which ones of those were because of qualified immunity, but even if you assume that all those resolved in favor of the police were on qualified immunity grounds, you're still looking at a couple percent of that whole...
Coleman Hughes: Yeah, I don't think that the riots have a goal. I mean, if you notice the rioting started after charges were brought against the cop that killed George Floyd, not before... Nobody cares about the data... Even since we've been counting in 2015, the Washington Post database, the numbers have come down actually pretty remarkably. And nobody even knows that, nobody cares about it. It's not going to be reported on the news for a myriad of different reasons having to do with baseline human psychology, but also with, the would be rioters are not a population that is going to be sensitive to any level of progress other than a complete elimination of the issue. And that, if they can be said to have a coherent goal, it would be that, it would be zero. A zero rate of cops killing black people year after year after year. And I really do not see how that is possible."
i/o on X - "During 2020 and 2021, the New York Times treated us to several pieces on black women's hair (one appearing on the front page), but it did not mention once the total number of unarmed black people fatally shot by police — out of over 15 million encounters between blacks and police, it was only 13 — in the year before the BLM protests, nor did it mention that most of those deaths were determined to have occurred while there was an immediate threat to the safety of the officer."
i/o on X - "To this day, surveys show that a substantial percentage of those who identify as "very liberal" believe thousands of unarmed blacks are killed each year by the police.

Black Lives Matter made our elites lose the plot – and they’re finally starting to admit it - "The simplest way to sum up modern progressive activists is this: they’re sociopaths who identify as empaths. Forever lecturing others about compassion, while themselves being brutally cruel. This was never clearer than during Black Lives Matter mania, which saw almost the entire progressive elite pursue a frenzied vendetta against anyone suspected of ideological impurity. Take the monstrous hounding of the author Kate Clanchy. In 2021, barely a year after she’d won the Orwell Prize for her moving non-fiction book Some Kids I Taught and What They Taught Me, she suddenly found herself tarred as a racist. Why? Because in that book she’d made a small number of supposedly “problematic” descriptions of people who weren’t white: for example, writing that a girl from Afghanistan had “almond eyes”. Seriously: at the height of the BLM witch hunts, this was enough to wreck her reputation, and cost her her book deal. When an executive at her publishing house had the temerity to suggest that cancel culture was possibly not an unalloyed public good, his colleagues were so outraged that he felt compelled to issue a grovelling apology. (“I now understand I must use my privileged position as a white middle-class gatekeeper with more awareness to promote diversity, equity, inclusivity…”) At long last, though, the tide is unmistakably turning. This week, Ms Clanchy’s former publishers apologised for the disgraceful way she was treated. Perhaps it’s now the cancellers who fear for their careers. At any rate, the whole sickening spectacle gives the lie to the smug myth – beloved of middle-class arts graduates – that reading literary fiction makes you more empathetic. The mob who set out to ruin Ms Clanchy are among the best-read people in Britain. All of them will be well familiar with such chilling dystopian masterpieces as The Crucible, Lord of the Flies and Nineteen Eighty-Four. Yet they seem to have taken each of these texts not as a warning, but as an instruction manual."
