Time for Cultural Politics and Hit the racist $$. BOYCOTT NASHVILLE...: Calling All Artists, Musicians, Conference Planners -- No to Jim Crow 2.0! Remember the boycott to not play Sun City/South Africa, Montgomery Bus Boycott! Hit Nashville's hotel, music venues, conferences!

America's History and Ida B Wells. Is America regressing back there again? "She utilized data to prove lynchings were not responses to crime, but rather a tool to uphold white supremacy and economic domination". It is what it is. No amount of white-washing can stamp out history and historical pasts.

Dignity of a people are not for others to take. Voter suppression as the practice of using intimidation/others means. "Those who wish to preserve the American constitutional republic should also recall the past." "A good start would be just to recall the five basic political lessons of 1933."

They chose to do this because they really are racist. My town of Lebanon, Oregon was named after Tennessee. We're not as racist as the Tennesseeans.

We’re in a civil war led by the GOP. If the aggressors stopped, the pushback would, too. They want to provoke the violent part, but make no mistake, we are already in it. Remember what they said, it will be “bloodless” if the left allows it to be. Which we are, because we’re not insane.

Predict this stirs up a mighty #bluewave backfire « the likes of which has never been seen!» (To quote the fav sayin’ of the mad King)

US is paying price for not having held Trump + his accomplices accountable! They will never not cheat, lie, steal + do whatever necessary to remain in power and avoid accountability! Worse they hold all levers of power as well as have nefarious, corrupt + powerful foreign leaders in their corner!

Totally agree with with you. Return the money back to the Blue States. Data indicates that blue states (typically Democratic-led) generally subsidize red states (typically Republican-led) by contributing more in federal taxes than they receive back in federal expenditures. To👋SCOTUS just a reminder

Haven’t lots of upwardly mobile young professionals been moving to TN in recent years? Are these folks OK with the state GOP essentially conducting a race war against black Tennesseans?

I'm guessing that those southern, bible thumping, knuckle dragging, white racist inbreds don't appreciate being called out for people drawing attention to the reality that they are southern, bible thumping, knuckle dragging, white racist inbreds

Tennessee continues its racist roots! Yes, the Ku Klan was founded in Pulaski, Tennessee, on December 24, 1865. Initially formed by six Confederate veterans as a social club or fraternity, it quickly evolved into a violent, white supremacist terrorist organization aimed at restricting rights !
