Ran out of

Totalitarianism seeks to punish you because your body language does not support radical ideas and causes.
Zebra cones.
On Facebook, a friend from there said an employee rolled her eyes at a female customer who was wearing a BLM button. That was racist so a protest was called for.
Is that what happened? Do we have to genuflect when they walk by now?
Tony’s is still around?
All you have to do is put on a BLM button, and the ability to read minds and become a Thought Enforcer is yours.
The employee probably would have done the same to a white person wearing a BLM button, so where is the racism? Or what if the eyerolling had nothing to do with the BLM button or the customer’s color, but possibly the customer’s words and behavior? You might roll your eyes at any number of things. People make a lot of bad assumptions these days.
Not watching professional sports for the foreseeable future for this very reason.
I'm of the opinion that it's WAY past time for a "negative reaction".. :(
As a native Charlottean, I can tell you...Gastonia’s the wrong place for BLM’ers to pull that Schiff. The Catawba River may be the only thing separating the two counties (Gaston & Mecklenburg), but that’s a whole different country and culture over there. And it ain’t a BLM-friendly area...more of a shoot-shovel-&-shutup mentality.
Charlotte folks love to mock Gaston County but they’re good salt-of-the-earth people over there. I live on the other side of the area just over into Rowan County and sadly the BLM virus has taken effect up in Salisbury. Fortunately, not down where I live on the fringes of nowhere.

“Charlotte folks love to mock Gaston County...”
I hope you didn’t take my comment as mocking. “Shoot-shovel-& shut-up” ain’t a bad thing.
And, for the record, I hate Charlotte.
(Crowder’s Mountain is one of my favorite spots around here.)
I don’t know about Tony’s. I don’t live there. My info is from a friend’s facebook post who lives in that area.
Yeah, that's what I think is really amazing about this whole deal.. There are those who still believe it's about black lives, or justice, or equity, or some sort of horse pucky about the poor down trodden.. HELLOOOO..! It's all about COMMUNISM..!! These people don't stand for the National Anthem... These people don't raise their hand and give pledge to our flag.. These people are ISURGENTS..!
It's well past time that we see some patriots in the streets kicking ass and taking names... If we don't starting fighting back pretty darn soon we're going to lose our country... :(
The games can be played by being overly nice.
Yo solicitous.
Smiling too broadly.
