Reply to comment by HagbardCelineHere in What a true maverick of wit. by Steezinandcheezin

While this is funny in some of his vids on YT he’s doing a definite job on some libs/cops/govt officials.

I definitely don’t agree with his opinions but the lengths at which some LEUs are pushing their boundaries with him are an interesting social experiment in privilege and constitutional rights.

Reply to comment by Charlesinrichmond in Richmond school district to rename Binford, Cary, and Ginter Park for $150k. by Charlesinrichmond

It’s pathetic that you think your contribution to racial equality is bleating, “racist!” like a brainless sheep when anyone threatens your fragile identity. And what exactly have you done to dismantle the racist infrastructure? How is your landlording contributing to improving the lives of the marginalized? What % of your units are below market rate? How many are rented to humans who served prison time due to systemic racism and injustice? I’ll bet it’s ZERO for both, because you probably pride yourself on the “vetting” you perform on your applicants and taking that risk might mean a lower profit, right?. I wonder how your “vetting” would stand up to a Fair Housing Act audit.

Try doing some actual work to improve equity and access for people who don’t have that humongous silver spoon in their mouth like you do, then get back to me. Maybe I’ll invest in your initiative(s) once you demonstrate that you want to be part of the solution rather than exacerbating the hate and racism you seem to lovingly embrace.

Reply to Y'all see the anti gay billboard in the city? by Sillloc

Sometimes I forget Richmond is the South too, mainly bc I’ve lived in SC which definitely feels more culturally Southern than Richmond. Richmond is very unique in that it seems to be a mixture of a lot of places. Every now and then, something does remind me, that yes, this still is the South. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Reply to Most humane/ethical way to adopt a cat? by Quardener

I'm not sure why this is getting down voted. There ARE shady rehomers, rescues and hoarders that claim they adopt out in the area and while it will change that animals life, it isn't a bad thing to make sure the organization you're adopting from is on the up and up.

RACC, RAL, Richardsons rescue, The Lost Dog foundation (local chapter tames kittens trapped from colonies), and smittys are all great.
