Almost Charlottesville again in Seattle 

This happened a few hours ago in #Seattle. Memories of #Charlottesville came into my mind.

Extra content warning for the video. The man who tried to pull the driver out of the car, was shot by the man in the car, but seems stable now AFAIK.

@Calvinn_Hobbes But you're also never happy; the only way anything can make you happy is if you care about it.

Suicidal people probably live like this. Get bored and sad, nothing makes them happy, nothing matters, they off themselves.

Never been in that position tho, just speculation. And why I never want to be in that mindset.

@realcaseyrollins That is the christmas elf I was refering to. While I wont argue it is blackface I was looking for one that wasnt of the Holland christmas elf depicted here (Called Zwarte Pete)

@lucky @OANN_bot They probably have the equipment on so if stuff goes down or they have to go out somewhere, they're ready

@realcaseyrollins I agree it isnt too common. I cant be sure its a censorship thing no. But I do know there are examples of people at parties in literal blackface, usually from the "alt-right" that should be pretty high on the result list and I cant find it.

@freemo I actually was able to find this tho, apparently it's part of a tradition in some sort of festival

@freemo Yeah this is true. The kind of blackface you're talking about isn't too common though, to my knowledge.

Are you sure this is a censorship thing? Or just that modern blackface isn't that common, and if it is, it never rises to the notoriety as past uses of it, so it wouldn't show up.

Listening to last night's episode, apparently people (can we call them pls?) are trying to plant crops but they're not actually putting the seeds into the ground lol

@realcaseyrollins I wouldnt describe any of those as black face. Those are characters in makeup to look african, which isnt blackface IMO.. Blackface would have to be intentionally done to mock africans, usually with large red lips and literally black colored face pain.

@freemo Pretty sure last night I reposted a post someone made about an old sitcom that has blackface that's still on ...

But 's character is the most popular modern example of blackface

did it too once, on
