A Nashville chapter of Black Lives Matter ran into trouble recently when they tried to set up their regular meeting at the North Branch Library in North Nashville. They were told that, unless they changed their rules to accommodate the library’s policy, they had to find a new location. The library policy in question? According to Spokeswoman Emily Waltenbaugh:
"All meetings at our facilities must be open to the general public and news media.
We’re a library. We’re taxpayer funded. We have to be open to anyone anytime."
The Black Lives Matter rule that violates policy? According to group organizer Joshua Crutchfield:
"Only black people as well as non-black people of color are allowed to attend the gatherings."
The group changed their meeting location to a nearby church, announcing the change of venue with the following sign:
The group’s "minority only" rule was brought to the attention of the library by an anonymous patron, at which point the library reached out to Black Lives Matter organizers to inform them of the policy.
They were given the choice to either open their meetings or change locations.
By and large nothing is said when an all black or all Asian or all Hispanic groups have a meeting or something but let an all white group have one and it’s racist. And here would come the ACLU ...
Methodists are not Christians, they are Liberals... (had an ex who was...I think Hillary would be a right winger to her...haven’t seen her since 1993, thank goodness...
So they expect a different set of rules....just for them?
Uh, he’s right. How else could a prism break down white light into a rainbow. He is also correct in stating that black is the absence of all color, in the visible spectrum anyway.
Visible spectrum but not pigment. Melt a box of crayons, it appears black because it absorbs all colors of the spectrum. The color white reflects all the colors.
No, they really don't. They're totally clueless.
The properties of light depend entirely upon whether is reflective or emitted. Mixing pigments is different than mixing colored lights.
If talking about skincolor, ie pigments, then we are talking about reflective, not emitting.
They would probably be wondering too.
The Methodist Church, as well as all other denominations are supported by taxpayers. The churches are tax exempt and therefore indirectly supported by all taxpayers.
Black lives do not matter, ALL lives matter.
“Egads, what are these strange things made of paper and containing large words?
I bet they combust readily.”
Odds are the little racists had to get a white person to make that sign!
Wow... Julia was a great show...first time a black women played something besides a maid...
No, you can’t. Your dog is smarter than #BLM, so they’ll refused the dog at the meeting...
So true...
i/m kinda ecru myself
On street view, you’ll see that Google felt it necessary to blur the Church’s sign.
Actually black is the absence of color.
