Awhile ago before I posted a photo and talked about what I called an urban first. While at the Redbull Soapbox race today, I found myself looking out from Elysian Park and saw this. Always neat to me. I’ll be editing my photos from that tomorrow. I had plenty going this weekend, did way more walking then I needed, and tired, but still really enjoyed myself.
While on youtube today I stumbled across this video. I had some idea of what they would say but there was also somethings new I learned from it. One of those things had to do with words said by the first and only vice president of the confederacy, Alexander H. Stephens. For years I’ve kept hearing people talk about how the Civil War was fought over states rights, yet, I’m not really finding a lot of truth to that.
So, this happened today to Alex Jones, I lol’d. No really, it’s a pretty funny video, first he seems to be picking a fight with a guy flipping him off and rages on him for it. God, what a baby. Then another guy trolls him and tosses coffee in his face. All I could think of when seeing this was how he calls all kind of stories he doesn’t agree with as fake news, make claims of false flag operations, or a hoax. A guy like him needs to be made fun of.
For years I’ve found myself coming upon countless people who have made this claim about others, and not question that thought. Then one day I came across the image on top, and I used that old photos to showcase to those people what they look like. As years go by I’ve always found white supremacists make such a claim about everyone they don’t like, and with the rise of white supremacy once again it’s only going to happen more. And then, a little video came out from VICE, and it only further solidifies my theory.
But, I can only hope those that don’t believe themselves to be racist will see this constant pattern and realize they are idiots.
I’ve heard plenty of lies and excuses about the Unite the Right rally a few days ago that doesn’t make sense to me. People wearing trump hats, carrying touches, defending a confederate statue, being cheered on by those who claim to have more a conservative view point. Yet some of the very some people at the really are also chant about how jews won’t replace them, doing nazi salutes, then a guy ramming into anti-nazi protesters, and those very people are now, “leftists?” What is going on here?
This is happening across the continental US next week. so where ever you are, go here, enter your zip code, and find out when it will be at it’s maximum. I won’t be seeing a total fro where i am at, but hope someday I will, but still will enjoy watching it from here.
A long time coming, I can’t wait to see this again. I enjoyed the last one which was all the way back in 2011. This time it is taking place over by Dodger Stadium. It’s been awhile since I was last there, and wonder if it will be any better then downtown on the first two years.
