    Here's what some of these idiot white supremacist are up to:

    These people would do well to get their heads out of their dark places.  Most of the world is non-white and really tired of having the minority race rule the world.  White supremacists will continue to make a lot of noise but they will become increasingly self-marginalized in a mostly non-white world (whites are only something like 17% of the world's population).

    How about
    *ALL LIVES MATTER
    *EMBRACE THE RACES
    *BORING IF WE ALL LOOKED THE SAME
    *EVERY RACE HAS DIFFERENT & BEAUTIFUL CHARACTERISTICS
    These were slogan ideas.
    How about The Human Race
    Shouldn't be barriers, and boundaries.
    No one should have to apologise for what race they are.  
    Judge people individually not with a broad brush.  Content of character, not color of skin.
    Good idea, RYME. 

    And I would go one step further and say ALL LIFE MATTERS.  The world would be much better off if we treated all life with respect.  Humans, mammals, birds, insects, reptiles and amphibians, fish, bacteria, trees, plants and fungi,  microorganisms.  And water and the elements that make life possible.  And let's not leave out geologic formations- mountains, rock formations.  We humans generally see these things as less important than us.  In doing so we seem to think it's OK to do this without giving thought for the resulting destruction (yes, without mining there would be no computer for me to write this on but like the plant and animal taken for food and clothing, we would do well to at least respect and honor that which is taken from the earth and do so more sparingly.  We don't need to produce so much disposable crap):




    What about human fetuses?

    Bri,
    environmental question: after miners and loggers destroy the land do they just leave it as is or do they have to plant a certain number of trees , restore the water quality , fill in the mine , etc.
    Good question McG.  My understanding is that in general what restoration is made to land and life taken is cosmetic at best.  One of the reasons many of us have fought the logging and mining industries for years is that logging and mining have often done severe damage to riparian habitat, damage that can take many years, even generations to recover from.   An excellent work (both for information and great writing) is Richard Manning's, One Round River; The Curse of Gold and the Fight for the Big Blackfoot.  Another excellent book along these lines is Erik Reece's Lost Mountain; A Year in the Vanishing Wilderness.

    Many logging operations have done long-term damage to riparian habitats as well, polluting streams and rivers and are then planting mono-cropped fast growing trees that are often used simply for cheap wood pulp products (hemp is a much better alternative!), replacing what were once health, mixed evergreen and deciduous forests.  Some improvements to logging procedures have evolved through many years of activist interventions over several decades. 

    Riley and Bri, thank you for the information.  We really don't see the effects of logging or mining on the east coast.  Bri I'll definitely check out those books.  
    You don't  have to go far to see the negative effects of mining. Just head to Pennsylvania  and West Virginia.
    Easy to see the extremely negative effects  of mining and  strip mining on the land and the people.

    As a kid my family.and I went to Pennsylvania to visit the the family farm of some neighbors. We went for a hike and came across  an area that had been stripmined. It looked like they had come through and tore the top  layers of earth and trees and rocks off the planet to get to the coal. Then just left it. Leaving a big scar on the planet. This was the mid 70s so the regulations were much looser then they are now. That image stays with me even today.

    All lives matter. As soon as we single out One race or one group of people lines are being drawn.
    We are the human race. 
    I don't even think it's a bad thing if we can poke find each other once in awhile in good taste in good fun that is.
    You know White Men Can't Jump.  I'm fine with that.
    White Men Can't Dance.  That is certainly true in that case. ;)

    problem is, one race IS being singled out. by cops. by the system. by society. when that stops, then fine, all lives matter. until then.....

     In my world all lives matter.  Black yellow red white brown is beautiful.

    that's because your world is a world of privilege. so is mine. All lives matter in my world as well. but my world isn't their world. they live in a world where there are loads of people in power and influence who don't believe that way. I don't feel the need to stand up and say "white lives matter" when I don't need to; white lives are not being flushed down the societal toilet by racist assholes who have no regard for them. so yeah, until the playing field is level, saying "all lives matter" takes away from the message of their oppression. 

    it's like telling african americans and first nations to "move on" and "get over it". it just doesn't make sense to try to squash their message when it doesn't affect you in any negative way.

    I totally agree with you HFD, and I honestly can't believe how blind to that so many privileged white people are. I'm just glad I'm not trapped in that bubble.

    part of being privileged is not knowing about it so you never have to check your privilege.

    It is my goal that whenever I meet a black person, or people of a different race than I, I like to show them through my actions and respect, that not all white people are Whitey-white supremacist sobs.
