Riots and Protests Starting...

[LEaSH]

If That Nasty Woman would have won I would have been disappointed, but I still would have got up the next day, went to work, continued to work and try to contribute the best I can.

Protest? Really wouldnt have been a reasonable thing to consider if the results were inverted.

 

[eldirector]

I am just glad that all this "protesting" is only really impacting the protesters and the people who (most likely) voted similarly.

When bush won, I went to class.

When obama won, I went to work.

when trump won, I went to work.

my protesting is limited to social media, emails To congress critters and complaining to my wife.

Protesters in Chicago were blocking roads yesterday. Excellent, show your hate for Trump by harassing the people in a city that voted heavily for Hillary.

Hey look....a squirrel.Why did it take a Democratic black president to finally put Democratic minorities in positions of power? Hummmm?

I'm missing the relevance for this particular thread. So before I make any assumptions? Jamil?!

I do not think the rioter's remember Jesse Jackson's famous words after Benton Harbor Mich.was in flames in 2003."People,you don"t burn your own homes!"

This is in reference to how non-racist the Dem party has always been.

I never knew Jesse Jackson ever said anything smart

He was hinting for the rioter's to cross the river and burn St.Joseph, Michigan .

Yep that's thoughts also, but they probably realize that if they take their riots outside of those areas they will get their a$$es kicked.

Guessing you'd be judged harshly on which color you chose.

Nah......

Well, yeah! It says a lot about your playing style. The color you choose determines who goes first. And for the record, my chess expertise doesn't extend too far beyond that.

And that makes a lot more sense

I don't remember this incident, I need to look it up

I'm calling for a fact check. I've looked, and haven't been able to find that reference. I'm not saying he didn't say that, but it's a pretty large claim to suggest that Jesse Jackson implied that people should take their rioting across the bridge and make other people suffer. I personally find that difficult to believe, especially, since obviously it wasn't done. I think it's fair to ask you to support your claim, lest people will take it as factual. The only thing I could find was below.

Lol, we sure we want to use chess as a reference? Guess who goes first, lol.

Lol, there it is! I knew it was coming from somewhere. I didn't write the rules, and no one even knows who did. But maybe they got changed in the Middle Ages to reflect the biases of that time. Or it could go all the way back to ancient Persia or the Indus Valley. Heck, I don't know, and it may even have been innocuous when it was determined. But it surely seems awkward in the modern context, regardless of the history.

And don't get started me on pool, where after eviscerating all the other colored balls, you win, when the white ball knocks the black ball down the abyss. Has a whole "This is Sparta" feel. lol

I was working in the town at the time.It was 2 days of hell.I saw jesse make that statement on a South Bend new channel.When he said it,he emphasized the word own instead of home.The only area left was St Joe..In the 60's riots,St Joe had to lift it's draw bridges to keep the rioter's from crossing into town than.Doubt me...I was there.
