Black Lives Matter protesters gather for Thanksgiving feast ("BlacksGiving")
The Minneapolis Star Tribune ^ | November 26, 2015 | Beatrice Dupuy and Liz Sawyer

About 100 people gathered outside the Fourth Precinct police station in north Minneapolis on Thursday to celebrate ­Thanksgiving with friends and family brought together in a time of turmoil.

They huddled around fires, prayed and gave thanks while sharing overflowing plates of donated food beneath the falling snow. It marked the 12th day of protests outside the precinct headquarters since Jamar Clark died after being shot by police Nov. 15.

The gathering, which protesters called “BlacksGiving,” came a day after Clark’s ­family laid him to rest. At the Wednesday funeral, more than 300 people paid their respects and said goodbye to the man whose death has drawn attention from around the nation.

Clark was removed from life support Nov. 16, less than 24 hours after he was shot in a struggle with officers. Witnesses have said Clark, who was unarmed, was handcuffed when he was shot.

Why be thankful for the food given to them? They deserve it. Why work? Why dine out? Restaurants are Thankful not to hire them or serve them - these, the Masters - grateful for nothing, expecting all. HAIL OUR MASTERS!

Black lives only matter when sometimes killed by whites. The mass murders of blacks by blacks do not matter one whit.

Also, whites killed by blacks do not matter.

Apparently it is just a black culture thing to kill anybody they want and only racist if some other culture is doing it.

Blackstiving is blacks shooting other blacks, their normal urban feral behavior towards each other.

#BlacksTaking more like it. They are all about the gravy train. White guilt is their BFF.

Am I a racist because "Blacksgiving" and "donated food" seem to go together so well?

[Kind of like it wasn't a surprise to see a BLM spokesman explain black on black murders with "crime happens"].

I get the distinct impression that the ‘donations’ were not entirely voluntary.

Andrew Wilkow once said that worst abuse he ever got in response to something he said “on the air” (satellite radio isn’t really “air”) was (paraphrasing):

I have never been thanked by a welfare recipient.

Folks who refuse to fend for themselves and demand everything are usually the first to go when society goes belly up.

They’re singing at their own funeral right now.

“Blacksgiving”

Reminds me of thirty five years ago when sullen blacks were wishing each other a “Black Christmas”.
