This letter is co-signed by many familiar names. It is a call against the “radical” reaction of many to social justice issues. Maybe, the idea of framing a quest for a better society as warfare is not a good idea. Remember, your *ally* in this struggle is frequently your enemy in the next one. In any warrior action, there is going to be collateral damage. Much of the logic used to support Social Justice Jihad is flawed and misleading. ~ A More Specific Letter on Justice and Open Debate ~ There is a #Catch22 about the #WhiteFragility meme.

The Churchill version is more fun. “Ma’am you are ugly” “Sir you are drunk” “But in the morning I will be sober” Atheists might enjoy putting a space 6 letters into Churchill, creating church ill ~ There is a post about the carving on Stone Mountain. This is one of the proposals. “2. Stop mowing the lawn Allow the Memorial Lawn to grow into a forest. It is not protected by the law. A major problem with Stone Mountain is the formal, triumphant view of the sculpture, making the entire park a celebration of white supremacy.” The carving is 400 feet above the lawn. ~ Daryl Davis is a bullshitter. He talks fast, and says a lot between pauses. Eventually, he says things that can be researched, and shown to be lies. He said that Warren Harding was sworn into the KKK in the green room of the White House. I have written about Mr. Harding at my blog. One thing about him… he was a progressive about race in 1920, when it was not popular. Mr. Harding sponsored anti-lynching legislation in the Senate. He took other stands in favor of civil rights for Black people. I looked up the claim about the KKK, and saw an article debunking it. ~ A member of a NYC Community Education Council to a colleague: “It hurts people when they see a white man bouncing a brown baby on their lap.” “I would like to know how having my friend’s nephew on my lap was racist.” “Read a book.

Rayshard Brooks told police Natalie White was his girlfriend. Now, a woman with same name is wanted for burning a Wendy’s ~ “Mrs. Dora Stainers, 562 1/2 Decatur St. 39 years old. Began spinning in an Atlanta mill at 7 years, and is in this mill work for 32 years. Only 4 days of schooling in her life. Began at 20 cents a day. The most she ever made was $1.75 a day & now she is earning $1 a day when she works.” The photograph was taken in March 1915. ~ Wrongfully Arrested Because Face Recognition Can’t Tell Black People Apart That headline is a bit much. I can accept that problems exist with the technology, and police use of it. However, to go directly to “Can’t Tell Black People Apart” is a stretch. It is also inflammatory, and might increase racial tensions … at a time when race tensions are already bubbling over. How is Face Recognition Surveillance Technology Racist? I don’t think it is inflammatory to say something that is factually accurate and that highlights another example of systemic racism. … Lets put it this way. If you were defending a system in court, and the opposing attorney said “This technology cannot tell black people apart”, would you object? …There is also the matter of how you package the headline. The youtube headline said “Wrongfully Arrested Because of Flawed Face Recognition Technology.” That is fine. Whereas, the ACLU article headline said “Wrongfully Arrested Because Face Recognition Can’t Tell Black People Apart.” Same message, but the latter will inflame emotions much more than the former. There is so much tension right now. We should be careful how we say things. ~ University Avenue cleared of barricades near property where Rayshard Brooks was killed ~ The Civil War, there’s a great compromise, as it’s called. It consists of Southerners admitting freely that it’s probably best that the Union wasn’t divided, and the North admits rather freely that the South fought bravely for a cause in which it believed. ~ 1 Copy wikiquotes page of reputed source into word document 2 CNTL + F, search for a word in quote 3 If you cannot match that word to quote, try another word 4 If the quote is not in WQ, it might be not be legitimate. WQ is not definitive, but a good place to start. ~ @chakrabsumita Some folks who I believe are well-meaning are saying that the Michael Dickman poem in @poetrymagazine Poetry critiques whiteness. I strongly disagree, and I would like to tell you why via my only skill: close reading! In This Essay I Will; Or, God Help Me, It’s Thread O’Clock ~ To Our Readers Regarding “Scholls Ferry Rd.” by Michael Dickman ~ Scholls Ferry Rd. ~ @chamblee54 Is the poem even available online? Yes denounce it all you like, but let me read it for myself. I do not want to buy a print edition to do so. What privilege! ~ @chamblee54 Putting out a thread like this, without a link to the poem, is rude. The link should be in the initial tweet, so we can read it for ourselves ~ @chamblee54 You should copy this thread into an essay, post it in the comment section of the print edition, and delete the twitter thread. If you continue to post your commentary on twitter, you should make “Scholls Ferry Rd.” available online. 1/2 … If you want the greater viability of an online commentary, then it should be accompanied by access to the source material. 2/2 ~ Scholls Ferry Rd. ~ pictures for this constipated collection today are from The Library of Congress. ~ selah

At 1:30 in this video, the officer takes a nasty body slam. It is tough to tell from this angle where he landed, but it appears to be close to the head. This may have affected his judgment in the chase. Mr. Brooks later appears to point the officer’s taser in his direction, and fire. ~ There was a fence in back of Wendy’s. Mr. Brooks was not going to go very far. He has a taser, if anyone gets too close. ~ The Georgia Bureau of Investigation was requested by the Atlanta Police Department on Friday night, June 12th, to investigate an officer involved shooting at the Wendy’s Restaurant on University Avenue. We are in the process of conducting this investigation. Although we have made significant progress in the case, we have not completed our work. Our goal in every officer involved shooting case we are requested to review, is to complete a thorough, impartial investigation before we submit the file to the respective District Attorney’s Office. The GBI was not aware of today’s press conference before it was conducted. We were not consulted on the charges filed by the District Attorney. Despite today’s occurrence, the GBI will complete its mission of completing an impartial and thorough investigation of this incident and we will submit the file, once completed, to the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office. ~ Fulton DA charges former APD cop with murder in Wendy’s shooting In charging Rolfe and Officer Devin Brosnan, Howard said Rayshard Brooks, 27, posed no threat to the safety of the officers who tried to arrest him Friday night. “He followed every instruction,” said Howard, describing his demeanor as “almost jovial.” “He answered every question.” … Howard did not mention that Brooks fought with the officers and took a Taser, said Steve Gaynor, president of the Cobb County Fraternal Order of Police. Gaynor said he doesn’t believe that Rolfe kicked Brooks, but instead was attempting to straddle him in a maneuver to make sure he was down. ~ @jcupapplet Just listen to the Fulton County DA, Paul Howard. He called a taser a deadly weapon when Atlanta officers used it against two college students, thus charging them with aggravated assault. Now apparently it’s not, when it’s used AGAINST police officers. It’s double talk . … There is a video attached to this tweet. “As many of you know, under Georgia law, a taser is considered as a deadly weapon.” So, when an officer uses a taser against a citizen, it is a deadly weapon. When a citizen uses a taser against an officer, it is not. Many news reports have said that Mr. Brooks was unarmed. ~ “I don’t want to deal with this dude right now” Ofr. Brosnan returns to his vehicle. He just told Rayshard Brooks to move his vehicle to a parking spot, after waking Mr. Brooks up twice, in the drive through line. His take on #RayshardBrooks is insane. DUI is a serious crime. People who drive drunk need to be locked up. When a drunk driver assaults the arresting officers, and fires a taser at them, he should not be surprised at what happens ~ There is a video attached to this tweet. “As many of you know, under Georgia law, a taser is considered as a deadly weapon.” So, when an officer uses a taser against a citizen, it is a deadly weapon. When a citizen uses a taser against an officer, it is not. Many news reports have said that Mr. Brooks was unarmed. ~ @jcupapplet Just listen to the Fulton County DA, Paul Howard. He called a taser a deadly weapon when Atlanta officers used it against two college students, thus charging them with aggravated assault. Now apparently it’s not, when it’s used AGAINST police officers. It’s double talk ~ “as many of you all know under Georgia law a Taser is considered as a deadly weapon under Georgia law” ~ There was an incident with “Run with the horsemen” on a movie set one time. I was reading it between takes on a set. I started to laugh uncontrollably at something. Later, in the waiting room, an elderly black man said he saw me, and thought I was reading the bible. The story was about someone called Moo Cow Mullins. One day, he decided to try to have sex with a cow. He grabbed a bucket to stand on, and let down his bib overalls. The cow responded to his advances by taking a dump on him. ~ Atlanta Police walkout following murder charge against officer who shot Brooks There is so much nonsense being said about this case. ~ fill me in. ~ Pack a lunch. There is a lot to discuss. This might be a good spot, since relatively few sjw will see it here. I also have other things going on in my life. It might take a while to get to this. ~ You can begin by watching this video. It is 27 minutes long. It is the Ofr. Rolfe bodycam video. It ends with asking Mr. Brooks to put his hands behind his back. – People are saying that Mr. Brooks did not do anything wrong. That the police should have allowed him to walk home. Major news reports say this was a cordial and cooperative conversation. The DA said he answered all their questions. I wonder if we are all talking about the same conversation. – Mr. Brooks is bombed. He needs to be arrested for DUI. Period. He is a stubborn drunk, trying to talk his way out of trouble. Talking to him is like trying to nail jelly to a wall. – He is on University Avenue, just south of downtown Atlanta. He thinks he is on Dixie Highway in Forest Park. Is his residence, or hotel room, on Dixie Highway? Or is he just lying his ass off, trying to get out of trouble. And yet, people repeat what is saying as if it were unquestionable gospel. – If he is telling the truth, where was he served? How do you get that loaded on one and a half drinks? Is the server in trouble for serving a man that wasted, who goes out driving, only to pass out in a drive through? This does not even cover the assault on the two officers, stealing the officer’s taser, and firing it at him. ~ pictures today are from The Library of Congress. ~ selah

The phrase “necrotic neighbor” has a nice sound, despite the nasty meaning behind it. As for faith in Mr. Dammit … I suppose it can’t hurt. Faith is not a substitute for other material based remedies. – A friend once hung out with some nutcase Xtians. They believed in faith healing. There was this nifty Catch 22. If you got better, praise G-d. If you did not get better, it was your fault because you did not have enough faith. – I appreciate your not using the G-word with me. It is not a big deal either way, but your not using *that word* tells me that you know you are talking to, and paying attention. If you forget, and say that sacred name, it is not a deal breaker. ~ Pictures from The Library of Congress. ~ selah

It is important to post the monday morning reader before noon. This week has an assortment of links about Ahmaud Arbery. I was wondering why this murder was getting more attention than the dozens of killings that take place every day. Then I edited this post. The third link from the top is an example. This case deserves some of the hysteria being devoted to the Arbery incident. You will not have to look very far to find more. ~ Nothing Is Certain, Except Death and Taxes (Great thanks to Luther Mckinnon whose tweet on this topic led QI to formulate this question and perform this exploration. Mckinnon pointed to the 1789 letter by Benjamin Franklin. Thanks also to Dave Hill who participated in the tweet thread. In addition, thanks to previous researchers such as Fred Shapiro who identified the Christopher Bullock and Edward Ward citations.) ~ @WISTquotes Travel, trouble, music, art, A kiss, a frock, a rhyme — I never said they feed my heart, But still they pass my time. Dorothy Parker (1893-1967) American writer “Faute de Mieux,” Enough Rope (1926) Faute de mieux means “for lack of something better or more desirable.” ~ “Men of faith know that throughout history the crimes committed in liberty’s name have been exceeded only by those committed in God’s name.” Mills E. Godwin, Governor of Virginia (Dec 1966) On KKK cross-burnings. Quoted in various papers of the time. ~ I just got a letter from the US Department of Treasury. From the moment I got it out of the mailbox, to the moment when I was able to open it, I was worried. When I looked inside the envelope, I saw a familiar signature at the bottom. The letter told me that the economic stimulus was on the way. That is interesting, because I got the check a couple of weeks ago. What a waste of money. A useless letter, from a useless president. ~ @TylerMahanCoe This info deserves to be public, so I unlocked last month’s Patreon update for everyone.

John Prine, Steve Goodman and David Allan Coe. ~ @OverheardOnDuty Adam Slater stabbed his wife and took his one year old. He then got into a wreck when fleeing the scene with his one year old. A bystander tried to save his one year old out of the wrecked car and Adam stabbed him. Adam then threw his one year old off a cliff to die. Evil exists. ~ “JUST DISCOURSE: Do not bandy words with your father, nor treat him as a dotard, nor reproach the old man, who has cherished you, with his age.” Aristophanes (c.450-c.388 BC) Athenian comedic playwright Clouds, ll. 998-999 (423 BC) [tr.

This was during the Iran-Iraq war. We took Saddam Hussein’s side in that war. We also sold weapons to Iran, with the assistance of Israeli arms dealers. The profits from that sale went to finance terrorism in Central America. Taking sides is not always the answer. Nor is simplistic rhetoric. ~ you know toddlers who have a problem managing their temper and we have a problem managing our temper and we start losing our executive function as well ~ A fbf posted a meme, saying that we were being conditioned to think of our freedom as being selfish. Two thoughts came to mind. Since the fbf is probably getting tired of my helpful comments, I am going to post these here. 1 – Advertisers would tell you, in so many words, that your selfishness is freedom. 2 – Have you ever gotten into an argument, where you are fussing with someone about who is going to get their way? You say they are selfish, and they say you are selfish. Both of you are correct. ~ @MeritLaw “The series of events captured in this video confirm what all the evidence indicated prior to its release— Ahmaud Arbery was pursued by three white men that targeted him solely because of his race and murdered him without justification. This is murder.” ~ @thejournalista In this latest episode of #AuntieUnfiltered, I discuss white people using black and brown emojis. This topic was submitted via email by one of our readers.
