Not so much, but I have a small thing for antiques. Nothing big, I just like to wander around and see and feel connected to the past. It saddens me when I see history being destroyed.
If there is anything old I dont like being around its Nazi stuff though, it gives me some serious agita.

Is that the new stuff spray painted on the old stuff?
They sure don't make nazi's as white as they used to.

Plenty of actual neo-nazis to go around, but good distraction
Well I had to distract from the BLM leader saying they were going to burn everything down.

Yeah right, its much more than than that and being decentralized with multiple voices its clear people have their agendas that stretch out far beyond simple police reform. Its turned into a political empire.
Even if they got their "police justice reforms" in today, they will absolutely not and in no way stop there tomorrow.

Doesnt seem like they are focused on "police reform" here, they are trying to weave a web of black civic power in every corner of our communities with the "Electoral Justice Project"

Police reform my azz, this is much much much bigger than that, and its racist at its core.

Re-organizing our stolen tax dollars and putting them into communities is communism and has nothing to do with injustices in the police department. If anything, its propping up the IRS and enslaving black people (well, in my books all Americans) ohhh shoot, dont forget to vote for Groper Joe, rock the vote!
Black Lives Matter co-founder Invalid Link Removed said Sunday that defunding the police means reorganizing society’s priorities.
"When we talk about defunding the police, what we're saying is 'invest in the resources that our communities need,’” she said on NBC's "Meet the Press," citing housing and education.

BLM=Big Government Goblins=No Change, no freedom, no liberties to people they think they are trying to help.
But yeah sure, lets go for more government programs, they always work out great!!!!!
The Movement for Black Lives kicked into high gear last month when more than 50 affiliated organizations released demands for social change. The demands include five reparations with a list of 40 possible ways to achieve them. These range from a guaranteed minimum livable income for all Black people to incorporating an examination of colonialism and slavery into school curricula.
“The government, responsible corporations, and other institutions that have profited off of the harm they have inflicted on Black people must repair the harm done,” reads the document.
At the top of the list is education. Specifically, it demands full and free access to quality educational opportunities for all Black people, including undocumented and currently and formerly incarcerated people. The platform also calls for technical education, educational support programs, and the retroactive forgiveness of student loans.
The focus on education as reparation isn’t surprising considering 23 states spend more per pupil in affluent districts than in impoverished districts with a high concentration of Black students, according to the National Center for Education.
Kesi Foster, coordinator at Urban Youth Collaborative and contributor to the education portion of the platform, explains why the education demands—and the reparations movement in general—are essential to a just and equitable future.
This interview has been condensed and lightly edited.
Olivia Anderson: How did this Movement for Black Lives reparations document come together?
Kesi Foster: There was a convening last summer in Cleveland that brought together Black organizers, Black community members, folks in the Black community from all over the country. There were a number of conversations around “Where do we go from here?” Out of that convening began the process to build this platform. For over a year, the 50 or so organizations involved in developing the platform were also reaching out to organizations and folks around the country to help. I helped author the free-college piece.
Anderson: What influenced your involvement?
Foster: I’m a coordinator at Urban Youth Collaborative. I’ve been working for educational justice in New York City for over 10 years now, particularly with Black and Latino communities. High schools lead our campaigns, which are grounded in fighting for and struggling for racial justice and equity in public education. What we’ve seen is, through some intentional investment in priorities and policies, society actually building a cradle-to-prison pipeline. So we’re trying to deconstruct that and build a stable cradle-to-higher-education pipeline.
My family and my community helped push me into the field. Growing up in New York City, there were always people involved in movements, like after Amadou Diallo and Sean Bell were killed. It’s always been present in my life.
Anderson: In your opinion, what is most important about this document?
Foster: I was excited to see that people were building this platform around the framework of reparations. Reparations is calling for an acknowledgment that historical and current policies and practices are harming a particular community—and we are talking specifically about the Black community here in this country. Things are happening in communities where all the students are Black and [Latino] that wouldn’t be acceptable if these were White communities.

The guy dragged these conversations to other threads over and over and over and over...even after being warned? Yeah, he got the boot.
....which was funny since that guy reported more posts on all of you and asked for more people being banned than all of you put together.
