One must take the claims of "Black Lives Matter" with a grain of salt. No other ethic community aborts its children at the rate which the black community does.
So do black lives really matter to these scoundrels claiming to speak for blacks?

This jerk says he is going to take a knee during the NFL season.
This idiot personifies exactly what is wrong with the black community and why it will take more than slogans to correct things. He should be the poster boy for why chaos rules among so many black communities.
Here are some tidbits of his life one can find on Wikipedia.
As I recall, his children are all from different females, perhaps one of whom he is married to. Talk about lack of self-awareness, or perhaps it is just dishonesty.

Dalrymple and I have in common the interest in statistics.
Unfortunately, the criminals behind the present riots don't care, one way or the other, about the number of blacks, policemen or others killed. These criminals are merely looking for a pretext to start their revolution. The looters are just the usual packs of jackals and hyenas one finds slinking behind every riot.

I hold to my earlier estimate that the defund people do not really mean defund, but change the police from law enforcement to enforcing PC law, 1984 and Fahrenheit 451 are the end result the left is looking for.
Prick your finger, prick your thumb, something wicked, this way comes.

You would certainly hope there would be a plan, even a bad plan. It’s hard to believe anyone would be for actually eradicating law enforcement. And yet I’m quite sure a great many people haven’t thought this out.
Mr. Flung (as in what you do with a Molotov cocktail), I wonder how many fathers and sons have found much more productive and interesting things to do than to attend or watch sporting events. The NFL could dry up and blow away and we’d be the better for it.

I can't figure out which is the stronger impulse, real stupidity, or something happening behind the scenes which we don't know about. And this covers the whole BLM BS which is going on.
OSU football is dead to me.

I have followed Formula 1 racing since the time of Jimmy Clark and Graham Hill. Here is another reason to continue following it and why NASCAR is doomed. OK, NASCAR was a bunch of crap compared to Formula 1 in any case.

And remember, Tawana Brawley doesn't count because it technically wasn't a hate crime, merely a false accusation out of desperation.
On the other hand, Al Sharkton's actions that led to the Crown Heights riot and the Freddy's Fashion Mart riot can be considered hate crimes. Whether they would be called that is another matter, Sharkton being an important figure among the Demagogues. And he probably isn't as bad these days as a lot of other black activists in the synoptic media and politics. (And a lot of whites are just as bad. I wonder what the racial composition is of the prosecutors elected via Soros money.)

When you said "Tawana Brawley" I instantly thought of Tawny Kitaen. It's an occupational hazard from having watched so many Hercules: The Legendary Journey episodes:  She played Herc's wife, Deianeira. I love the name but probably couldn't spell it the same twice.  I'm sure they'll be pulling down Hercules' statue soon, so that's how I connect it to all this. Out of jealousy, Hera sort of toppled Deianeira. She wound up in the Elysian Fields where in one of the best episodes, Hercules finagles his way across the river Styx with the permission of Hades and is allowed to visit her. In real life (What's that?), Hercules was married to the Golden Hind, played by Sam Jenkins.

I once did a short piece in FOSFAX about a young black girl being upset when a department store Santa said "Ho, ho, ho" to her. He got in trouble for the racist insult. (This is why Miss Ebonics USA only had 49 entrants. No one wanted to be Miss Idaho. And why a black prostitute was so pleased to meet a Navajo and an Arapaho.) I think I gave her name as Tina Brawley, in homage to Tawana.
Interestingly, some months after the issue went out, there was a genuine article about Australian Santas being advised not to say "Ho, ho, ho" and instead use some other laugh. Parodying the left is so difficult because it's so hard to be more over-the-top than they are. Andrew Offutt found the same problem once when he parodied sword-and-sorcery fiction (of which he had written more than his share) in a short story ("Black Sorcerer of the Black Castle", I think).

Here is a good piece by Jason Whitlock, who left Fox Sports rather than spout the lies which are now a prerequisite for gaining air-time on major networks.
I like Whitlock and think he is important in the fight against the leftist mob. Why? Because, as Andrew Breitbart said, "Culture is upstream of politics." We need sports journalists who are honest and not afraid to speak out.

When I went to Purdue in 1969, they had offers for various newspapers, and as it happened I decided to get the Chicago Daily News. Mike Royko was one of their columnists, and I became a fan of his, eventually collecting perhaps all of his books. He was a someone independent sort, generally a liberal but occasionally expressing conservative views. He even became (for a while, in the 1990s) one of the contributors included in Conservative Chronicle. I wouldn't be surprised if he were also included in its liberal counterpart.
As it happens, I didn't subscribe to any such newspapers in subsequent years. I don't think I saw any such offers. My final year I did subscribe to the Louisville Courier-Journal because I had registered to vote and wanted to be an informed voter. (I could actually have registered as early as 1970 because Kentucky and Georgia both allowed 18-year-old voters. Hawaii allowed voting at 19 and Alaska at 20.)

I heard of Mike Royko in the 1980s when I lived in Tokyo. "The Japan Times" ran his column on a regular basis. While he wrote well and was often funny, the impression I got was that he was also something of a liberal wise-ass.

When looking into the treaties between the CSA and Indians, I discovered that Oklahoma was named by a Choctaw Indian and the word means "Red People/Man." I am surprised Antifa and BLM haven't called for the State to change its name. The Red Skins have had to.Land-O-Lakes butter has dropped the Indian maiden from its label.

That's especially true because the Choctaws and Chickasaws, who had the most southerly tribal areas in Indian Territory among the Five Civilized Tribes, were the most supportive of the Confederacy. Choctaw Colonel Tandy Walker commanded a brigade during the Red River Campaign of 1864. The Confederate Indians surrendered about the same time the Shenandoah, sinking Yankee whalers in the Bering Sea, learned about Appomattox.

Mr. Flu, do you suppose there is some root word that is similar for "Okla" and "Ochre"? Or perhaps is the "homa" part the "red" and the "Okla" the "man"?
Note: I did not say that that is how an Asian would pronounce it: Ochrehoma. Please perish the thought.

Well, while the Army of Tennessee was bivouacked in the Tullahoma area, a Confederate soldier frustrated by the weather said that "Tullahoma" came from the Greek words "tulla" meaning "mud" and "homa" meaning "more mud".
He may have been a bit inaccurate. I wouldn't be surprised, in fact, if it's an Indian name, though probably not Choctaw. I don't think they were located in that area (between Nashville and Chattanooga).

Ah so, desu ka.
Oklahoma is apparently from the Choctaw language and means "okla-people and humma-red." At least that's what Wikipedia said.
