Well, here is one for my 2021 Bingo Card. A black woman has a conversation with a black man about the Civil War and decides that, well if reparations are something that is owed it is something that should be paid to the people who lost their property: The slaveholders.
“When people talk about reparations, do they really want to have that conversation? Like it or not, slavery was legal,” Elder said. “Their legal property was taken away from them after the Civil War, so you could make an argument that the people that are owed reparations are not only just Black people but also the people whose ‘property’ was taken away after the end of the Civil War.”
A lot of things strange things have happened this year. The right wing’s attempt to start a 2nd Civil War, a 43 year-old QB leading a team to a Super Bowl win, the majority of Texas temporarily turning into Siberia, along with $10k electric bills, per day, Covid fading, then roaring back, Gavin Newsom getting recalled, when he might just be the best Governor in the whole country, Hurricane Ida returning on the anniversary of the first storm to pick on New Orleans, a maskhole showed up with zipties to possibly kidnap a school’s principal for the crime of protecting children, and on and on it goes.
But I would have never seen coming, nor would I have believed that two Americans with any understanding of history would show economic sympathy for the malevolent white patriarchy that treated other human beings like animals.
Nope. Not a chance. No way.
So while I am here I would like to link the following information as to how to help Governor Newsom fend off the extremists that would like to see Stephen Miller’s mentor running the state.
Who Is Behind the Recall? A partisan, Republican coalition of national Republicans, anti-vaxxers, Q-Anon conspiracy theorists and anti-immigrant Trump supporters. According to the Los Angeles Times, they include “peddlers of Q-Anon doomsday conspiracies; ‘patriots’ readying for battle and one organization allied with the far-right extremist group, the Proud Boys.” Instead of helping fight the pandemic, these partisan forces are pulling a page from the Trump playbook and attacking Californians.

Trump allies, QAnoners, conspiracy theorists, and anti-vaxxers have banded together to recall California's Democratic Governor, Gavin Newsom. Since 2019, the Governor has been hard at work serving California families. This recall election is costly for California taxpayers -- just one year before Governor Newsom is up for re-election.

Governor Newsom is smart and compassionate and disciplined and has done a great job for California. We can’t take this recall for granted-let’s all pitch in and keep a loyal and effective leader in the Governor’s seat in California.
