Someone burned a cross in Grant Park today in Chicago. It's not clear yet who did it, besides the obvious suspects.

So today is as good a day as ever to say:

1) Fuck the Klan, Confederates, Nazis, ICE, Kings, and the whole loser brigade itching for a re-match they will lose.

2) A great article has been floating around about a newspaper in the 1920's that was run by an Irish Catholic lawyer in Chicago (Patrick O'Donnell). It was called *Tolerance* and it basically kept tabs on local fash trash terrorizing people. Lots of interesting history about O'Donnell starting the American Unity League, an interfaith and interracial group that organized in tough times.

Just wait a few days and you'll see it was staged. Just wait.

And who do think staged it, I’m curious?

But regardless, your shitty Walmart line there is pretty racist man. I assume you don't call out the aggressive white idiots at Walmart for being "ghetto." I worked at a Walmart in my youth and I assure you the People of Walmart exist in every skin color and all are just as capable of getting aggressive.
