OK... that's about 80% of the topics on this forum.

I did a thread on proper traffic stop etiquette. Feel free to take part.

And I am black... so...

#BlackLivesMatter Activist Upset that Atlanta Police Get Chick-fil-A Delivery While Protesters Starve

I am Native American from rural Arizona. I moved to North FL for an engineering job in 2002. When I first got there, I noticed that Chik-Fil-A was very popular among southerners. Immediately, I wrongly assumed that it was an eatery for "racist white southerners" much like "Bob Evans" in the midwest.

But I was wrong. I had a southern white girlfriend who took me on a date over there. I actually enjoyed it. I have since moved back to AZ. But I still go to Chik-Fil-A for breakfast here in Phoenix. My southern blonde girlfriend taught me to appreciate Chik-Fil-A. It's not a "racist food joint for southerners". It's actually very liberal. The media blows it out of proportion.

If BLM wanted Chick Fil A, why didn't they just loot the place?

Maybe next time they will.

Lesson learned. That is always a good thing.
Oh those adorable protestors. They got themselves so plumb worn out protesting that their blood sugar crashed and they needed food to sustain their tired bodies. Protesting is hard work!

They should take chadgates' advice. I recommend backpacks filled with juice boxes and snack packs for their next big day of work. Maybe a pillow and blanket, too. Maybe they can schedule a half-time snack break during the protest, like children's sport teams have.

That's just silly. Half the protestors at any given BLM march are white college students. It's almost always a very mixed crowd of misguided dorks at BLM rallies. There's enough mockery for everyone regardless of skin color.

I'm glad other people are pointing this out so I'm not the only one. This is another "a black person said..." thread.
