Women’s March

[LDAHL]

I see the Woman’s March sent out a fundraising email noting their average donation was $14.92. Then they sent out another apologizing for the offense they gave for publishing a number that might be upsetting for the connection that might be drawn to Columbus.

When I first heard about it, I was sure it must be some kind of lame joke or hoax. But apparently my sense of the ridiculous needs to be expanded to keep up with the times. Numbers are now cause for offense.

Well, I say if you can’t see the humor in that, then 1776 you.

[bae]

I just...can't keep up.

[ApatheticNoMore]

i'll make a donation for $4.20.

and I mean by that to refer to a nursery rhyme concerning blackbirds, what you thought I meant something else?

I know what you meant smarty pants

I next go before the Board of Health on January 6th.

I wonder how much one would have to give to bring the average up by $1.27. That would certainly be more acceptable.

Another significant number in woke numerology.

Sadly I am not woke enough to know that reference.

It has to do with the recent New York Times sponsored '1619 Project' which seeks to re-write the narrative of the United States. Among other things it claims that the Revolutionary War was fought not to gain independence from a foreign Monarchy but to preserve slavery on our continent. 1619 is reportedly the year the first African slave arrived in our fledgling country.

No. Math is racist.

I may be a little woke, but with all the problems these days that seems like supreme misuse of time and resources. I could be on board with some of the statue removals, but some things seem just fine the way they are.

So we were a country, some one hundred plus years, before we were a country?

Yep, poor choice of words for a collection of individual states huh?

You mean colonies? I don't think we were even thought of as da** upstarts yet.

Somehow I doubt that many many boatloads of slaves and lots of dead native Americans particularly cared about the date that the United States became the United States.

Never!
