Jesus was pretty damned prejudiced against Jews, also. He wanted to burn down their temples. Time to bring down all Christian churches, because they represent racism. Or is that where we finally draw the line? The blonde-haired, blue-eyed Jesus many whiteys pray to, or the middle-eastern darker-skinned Jesus that cannot possibly exist in the eyes of the white man? Does God have a dick or a pussy? Does he eat meat? Oh, which version of that God? We should let society implode on itself like it currently is and start over. Bring on the Nexus 6 models, let the Bladerunners sort it out.

Frederick Douglass statue vandalized in Rochester park https://apnews.com/6e65d7d503caf114b6878a48288c190c A statue of abolitionist Frederick Douglass was ripped from its base in Rochester on the anniversary of one of his most famous speeches, delivered in that city in 1852. Police said the statue of Douglass was taken on Sunday from Maplewood Park, a site along the Underground Railroad where Douglass and Harriet Tubman helped shuttle slaves to freedom. The statue was found at the brink of the Genesee River gorge about 50 feet (15 meters) from its pedestal, police said. There was damage to the base and a finger. In Rochester on July 5, 1852, Douglass gave the speech “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July,” in which he called the celebration of liberty a sham in a nation that enslaves and oppresses its Black citizens. To a slave, Douglass said, Independence Day is “a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim.” Carvin Eison, a leader of the project that brought the Douglass statue to the park, told the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle another statue will take its place because the damage is too significant. “Is this some type of retaliation because of the national fever over confederate monuments right now? Very disappointing, it’s beyond disappointing,” Eison told WROC.
