Saturday Night #BlackLivesMatter Protest Party! (Part 1)

This is how I am feeling right now.

In memory of George Floyd.

"Keep believing. Keep marching. Keep building. Keep raising your voice. Every generation has the opportunity to remake the world.” - Barack Obama, July 2018

  1. Yes, THIS is how the late and lovely George's name should be celebrated, not invoked in stomach-churningly disrespectful manner by someone whom we've long come expect is incapable of thinking beyond "ME! ME! ME!"
    Let's all first take a knee - and then get up and DANCE, DANCE, DANCE!

    Have a glorious, safe w/e, you and everybody there, W.Q.

  2. That Marian Anderson piece was a sweet bit. Did you notice how uncomfortable many of those white folks seemed to be? Of course, that's what you expect from Old White Republicans.

  10. Now this is quite a ole and heartfelt tribute to the cause of the day. We would have loved to have gone done, we with William and I being ancient old fossils, we would have need motorized chairs! I was over at the Mistress's and told her we saw coverage, and we also par took of a lunch out for the first time at a outdoor café, but we asked for it to go as we saw way to many people coming in and no mask wearing. Very disappointing. Needless to say we won't be patronizing them anymore if they can't be responsible. I know people are pent up and have angst to get out, but this is not going to go well.

    1. I hear ya, girl. spouse and I would need the same chairs.

      masks are STILL important, and we don't have to sit amongst the ignorants that refuse to keep safe. take out is the way to go for now.
