Zzzzzz...
The original message of this post is what needs to be remembered.
The newly minted Women's "commissioners" (too bad some wear this title with the pomposity it signifies) are each good people with excellent intentions, as surely are the HRC, and others. Hopefully they will approach their jobs with integrity and not be pulled into the game that was being played by RD in appointing them. Each and every one was selected with a politically self-serving motive for him. In the case of some, the purpose was to deactivate his critics (potential and actual) by making them part of his team. It is feared that most will not realize they are being played, and most will go the way of so many others (perfect example is the majority of those past and present on HRC), feeling glad for the self-importance and more and more reluctant to be critical, while more and more part of the self-congratulatory and in fact corrupt power structure. JL herself has been just another "yes-man" in virtually all of her votes, so it's unlikely that anything of substance will emerge. One can always hope....
There is so much important work that needs to be done if this community is going to set itself back to rights anytime soon. There were 3 racially heated school incidents at MVMMS & MHS (2 reported with "investigations," such as they are with corrupt administration, and 1 not yet public, though surely being "investigated," as it were). The environment is significantly worsening. The call to action as been made by those who have taken the time to learn the facts and demonstrated the courage to make them public. There is much more bad brewing. Time to stop w/ the stupid and pointless nonsense and step up to address the real problems.
I have seen around the city some houses with black lives matter signs. I know they are white families that live in the houses. Do you not realize that black lives matter is a racist hate group? Look up some of the quotes that the cofounder of the group said she would like to see happen to whites. Look at all the damage they have caused in cities. How do you support this group? If the kkk changes their slogan to white lives matter would it make them less evil no. The blm group is protesting and calling for the deaths of police while ignoring the fact that 93 percent of black homicides are committed by other blacks. 95 percent of blacks killed by police are the result of their own actions. So I ask you how do you support such hate. Also if you are so concerned why are you living in lily white melrose. You could get a much better home for your money in a community with a large minority population. You could help their communities a lot more if you lived there and had an interest stake. You could help with those community gardens that interest you too.
Does white lives matter?
Nothing new. It's called "white liberal guilt" felt by those who have spent most their lives living in a cocoon of privilege and probably voted for Obama as a "feel good" gesture.
