Stern schoolmarm Thom Tillis – who would very much like to be your next senator, North Carolina, please and thank you – had a chance a few years ago to be a decent and generous human being on the issue of our country’s terrible history of race relations. All he had to do was let the North Carolina state legislature pass a resolution formally apologizing for the terrible Wilmington race riot of 1898. It would have cost him literally nothing but the couple of seconds it would take to say “Aye” or push a button or spit tobacco juice into a particular spittoon, or however the legislature in North Carolina records votes. But wouldn’t you know it, Thom decided that party identification and that general sense of white man grievance that afflicts so many conservatives was more important.
I just get a little nervous about an event that was announced a few weeks ago and there's been nothing since.
I guess the worst thing that can happen is I'll wind up with good burrito from La Cumbre. I don't need another one of their outstanding T-shirts...
<em>&ldquo;The proposed amendment would have acknowledged the historical fact that the white Republican government joined with black citizens to oppose the rioters,&rdquo;</em>
And if those Republicans were alive today you&#039;d throw them out of the party, you Dixiecrat throwback.
<em>&quot;The majority of Wilmington&rsquo;s black residents fled, turning it into a majority-white city with legalized segregation and Jim Crow laws passed by the state legislature.&quot;</em>
...I believe it&#039;s called &quot;Caucasian imminent domain&quot;, a situation where white people &quot;discover&quot; something that brown/black people already own

Is anyone else planning to attend the San Francisco event tonight (9/18 - Thursday)?
Water is falling from the sky! Is this a sign of the End Times? Or the only water that will be in evidence?
