    In 2020 nothing should surprise us I guess.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      OK I cannot listen to that because MFR is still asleep in the next room. WTF is this all about?

        Protesters yelling at people, or maybe just condos where people live, for moving onto ‘historically black land’.

            Lots of progressive middle aged white women and feminine men based their political identities on solidarity with those protesters.

            Education is extremely important.

              Seems like gentrification and desegregation are Russell conjugates.

              As are ‘de-gentrification’ and white flight.

                It's about power. If a group of people feels like they chose what happened, it doesn't really matter what actually happened. That's why the best way to manipulate people is to make them think they chose what was actually chosen for them and in service of someone else.

                  I Boston, the Irish took over the historically Brahmin land.

                  Then the Blacks took over what had become historically Irish land.

                  Then the yuppies took over what had become historically Black land.

                  History can be rewritten.

                    It was all downhill from there. This really was the beginning of the end.

                    j/k. My maternal side ancestors came to MA in 1638, less than 20 years after the Mayflower. They were in MA until my grandfather moved to Schenectady in 1928 to work for GE.

                        My family was in Salem around that time until a few years before the witch trials.

                        But Copper's got it right. The area I stayed in there in 2014 was known in the 70's as the Combat Zone. Now it's the Theater District and South End.

                          You guys should pay reparations.

                          Just sayin'.

                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                            Someday maybe I'll tell you about the Combat Zone. But not anywhere it could be recorded.
