Something funny goes on here. This is not the first time that a link I post seems to get changed after a while into a link that does not work. I double check my posts and make sure that the links work after I post. This link worked when I posted but now that I cannot edit my post it has been changed into a link that does not work.

I noticed this in a past post but ignored it. Now in this thread I have two posts that have been changed so the links no longer work.

I do not think it is me making a mistake, which leaves a bug in this software or someone going in and breaking the links.

Hardly anyone showed up for these organized protests nationwide. The US is moving past the white nationalist dialogue made popular by ex-president Trump. Now that Trump has lost his megaphone, many have gone back to hiding or have reformed.
LOL. White lives matter is a flop I Agree. But trump never supported or gave white lives matter a megaphone. Show me a video stating trump saying that. Trump only supported proud boys in which a person of color is its leader. Lol. White lives matter has always been a flop before, during and after trump. Lol. And I say this as a person of color. Lol. You loose with your gas lighting.

So you do agree that it is absurdly ridiculous and laughable that White Lives Matter is a movement of people who are accustomed to privilege and feel threatened and oppressed by equality?
Except I didn’t demean others and if you were indicating the movement you’d have said so.

If it’s a movement the protests would be huge, but I always love the terms white privilege and oppression, rather than blaming oneself for their own shortcomings...although free stuff via entitlement is certainly enticing.

I mean, during Trump’s presidency the borders were better secured, no wars, no Islamic terrorism, Middle East peace, nuclear threats from North Korea subsided, low unemployment, economy at its best in many decades, military strengthened, foreign capital repatriation back into the U.S. increased substantially, new and better trade deals with our neighbors, gas prices low, etc.

Compared with what’s going on just three months into Biden’s presidency and Trump’s four years looked like a paradise. Most of the supposedly chaos were nothing more than Leftist media generated fake hype.

If that is what you call havoc, then clearly you have been thoroughly brainwashed by the Left.

I see the OP hasn't bothered responding to you. Le sigh indeed.

Have you seen all the idiot white liberals with their stupid policies that are destroying the country? They are far from supreme.
"White Supremacy" is like "Global Warming" and "Russia"

Large, nebulous, undefinable "boogie men" that can be leveraged forever and ever for political gain.

This is how a lot of people see it.

A normal person would have taken this story to mean that white supremacy is clearly not an issue in this country.

I don't think you can make that assessment from the article. They are just not as emboldened to voice and organize out in the open as what many were lead to believe. Plenty of them up here in the NJ area... most would deny actually being racist.

Not surprising, you would have to be insane to attend such an event in todays climate.

1. Covid risk

2. Social media captures you there and your employer retaliates.

3.You are guaranteed to be labeled a racist.

There is no upside to attending
