The battle for White votes in the South
Who is really the party of slavery?
That’s a complicated question to answer. In this episode, @TraeCrowderLiberalRedneck looks into why the history of slavery through the lens of party lines can be confusing and how the “Southern strategy” comes into play.
The American South is a complicated place, and we know a lot less about it than we think we do. And many things about the South that seem to make no sense are less confounding in context. The reality is the history of many Southern things has been manipulated, hidden, or just plain ignored. Trae Crowder guides us through the pride points, failures, and contradictions in “Southin’ Off.”

Subsidizing Suburbia …
Let’s be clear urban sprawl, cars, and the needed roads are destroying our country. Here in Florida we have to fight to get any mass transit and it is not planned in the county development plans at all. Every attempt at mass transit and fast trains is destroyed. Also let’s be honest it also was driven not just by profit for big oil and car manufacturers, but also by racism. When I was in Germany in the 1980s I was stunned how towns with housing, shops, everything a person would need including bars were closely clustered in to a small area with lots of land for growing crops or animal pastures around them. Plus I could go anywhere by mass transit, train, subway, or trolley. All fast and convenient. Most soldiers that were transferred in to the country never used their cars that they paid to have shipped. I came from a small cow town and we drove 30 minutes to the nearest big town. Here in Florida, about 30 minutes from where I live by highway is a completely new development based on the model in the video. It has shops, theaters, restaurants on ground floors, business offices above and lots of apartments, even doctor’s offices, and single family town houses, all confined into one place and walkable to everything. The only problem the residents have is all of us outsiders driving our cars in coming in to shop or go to medical appointments and they have very limited parking. If I could afford to live there I would. It simply works and is easy not just for the young but especially us older or disabled people.

If the republicans or big business challenges this policy, they are handing the election to Biden and the Democrats. Workers are seriously tired of being abused. Hugs
Proud Boys Menace Tennessee Anti-Gun Prayer Vigil, Activists Removed From Hearing For Holding Signs
And of course the Proud Boys which are gang thugs carried guns and got to stay while grieving parents holding small signs got removed. The police stood by and let the gang thugs harass women and anti-gun people. Well it has come out that a large number of the police are white supremacist bigot gang thugs themselves. Birds of a feather type thing. The country is fast becoming over run by authoritarian cops and fascist politicians that are backed up by gang thugs. Welcome to the fall of the US democracy. Hugs
Conroe ISD trustee argues displays of racial inclusivity and pride in classrooms should be removed
Who thought these types of self entitled people who have seen a sudden rise in the power of their bigotry would stop at just erasing positive messages of the LGBTQIA. Well these right wing bigots are also racist. Please tell me how teaching kids to be nice to each other and work together is an ideology that must not be taught? What they really are saying is it is against the conservative right wing maga way to push white cis superiority. Just as they hate the pride flags and demand that any positive anti-discrimination against the LGBTQIA be removed from school, they are now saying that a poster showing inclusion of non-white people is traumatizing to their white snowflake children. Yes that is correct, black kids sharing a school and activities with white kids is unacceptable. It is an ideology just like rainbow flags. No shit. This is what the school board member said after a parent complained about it. In 2023 we have white people saying in public school we shouldn’t have mixed race positive messages, and we should allow the terrorizing and bullying of gay, lesbian, and trans kids because they don’t like them. I warned everyone this was their next step, DeathSantis along with the Huckabeast in Arkansas trying to outlaw the teaching of the real brutality of slavery / racism in the US history is just an opening to try to return the country to the open racism of the 1950s.

Thursday, August 10, 2023CONROE, Texas (KTRK) — Some Conroe ISD trustees want to crack down on displays of racial inclusivity and pride, saying they represent, “symbols of personal ideologies.”
One trustee says a child was traumatized by a poster showing different colored children holding hands and had to switch classrooms.
School officials against this say a policy prohibiting political displays, not related to curriculum, already exists. The trustee who brought this forward didn’t realize that.
When it was brought to her attention, the trustee said she wants that policy to go further. Citing “a number of parents reaching out to her about supposed displays of personal ideologies in classrooms,” Melissa Dungan asked her fellow board members to crackdown on them.
“I wish I was shocked by each of the examples that were shared with me, however, I am aware these trends have been happening for many years,” Dungan said.
When pressed to share one of those examples, Dungan referred to a first grade student whose parent claimed they were so upset by a poster showing hands of people of different races, that they transferred classrooms.
“Just so I understand, you are seriously suggesting that you find objectionable, a poster indicating that all are included,” Stacey Chase, another trustee, said.
Dungan wouldn’t say whether she found that poster objectionable, just that she wants to avoid “situations like that” by having the board adopt stricter standards and adhere to state policies already in place, prohibiting teachers from displaying political items not relevant to curriculum.
Another trustee even asked if the poster was illegal and went on to claim previous displays of pride flags were.
“We do have violation of this law,” Misty Odenweller said.
When asked if bible verses were also in violation of existing policy and should be removed, Dungan struggled to respond.
“Right? Would you agree?” trustee Datren Williams asked Dungan.
“I don’t know,” Dungan replied.
Somehow, I think it was really the parent who was traumatized at seeing the poster.
This is why you don’t give these very dramatic, very racist people an inch.
Exactly. What’s next? What if the child was “traumatized” by seeing Black classmates or Black teachers? Then what?
These bigots have been emboldened by Trump, Abbott, DeSantis, and others, to publicly and proudly promote their racism. They are horrible people and should be publicly shunned.

And they call us snowflakes…
I assume they are not singing “Jesus loves the little children” in Sunday School there.
(“Jesus loves the little children,
all the children of the world.
Red and yellow, black and white,
all are precious in his sight…”)
Sesame Street scares them, doesn’t it?
