The last frontier for the Right Wing is the Neo-Confederate White Supremicists versus the just plain old White Supremicists.

What do they disagree about? Whether or not non whites deserve death or enslavement?

^As long as Trump is seated in the WH and Republicans have a majority this is going to be normal. Nazi guys saw this as a huge win and what America wanted, so they believe it's safe to step outside and be open about it. I'd say best you can do is film them being outspoken racists and send it to their employers if you find out who.

White supremicists don't seem to touch the Confederacy much beyond "hah, this flag pisses off non pures" and admit the Confederacy was a bunch of racists poo poo heads trying to keep America white where as neo-confederates try to backflip over the obvious racism and poo poo to paint the Confederacy as a states rights movement and racism had nothing to do with it but we're super on board with a whites only America too.

I thought Neo-Confederates were more the standard old redneck Christian 'Murica types. While Neo-Nazis are usually much younger, nerdier, more likely to be atheist or follow weird racist Pagan off-shoots, and worship European White Culture.

Nah it's not unpleasant to say that white supremacist, racism and fascist superiority complexes are backed into law enforcement. One just needs to look at all the times cops are used as hired thugs by other bigoted members of power. Why else would police have a tendency in the news to not even have a trial or be allowed to act like they're occupying another country in their own country?

I've been to northern Staten Island once. There's a little cafe there that also serves as a library, book store, and free Internet connection point. I saw a lot of people utilizing its services, mostly poor minorities, and every member of the staff (which was multicultural) knew the names of every local who came in and exactly what they needed.

The only negative interaction I saw was a pair of white cops hassling a black homeless guy for daring to fall asleep outside of an apartment.

Part of the cover story for the "pro-monument" crowd is the secrecy with which the contract was done and how it was so much more than the last one. It's really about government accountability, you see.

NO being NO there may well have been some funny business but they forget that the last contractor quit because of death threats followed by someone torching his car. I'd ask for a higher price and some protection too...

Cajun is not Creole, which is what I was :spergin: about. They are distinct cuisines and ethnicities. Creole is heavily based on Afro-Caribbean and Spanish cuisines. Cajun is French/Acadian with local ingredients and influences (including, yes, African and Native American). There's plenty of examples of whites shamelessly co-opting minority cultures but unless you're arguing that Cajun cuisine somehow doesn't belong to the Cajuns...
