White Supremacists Help Clean Up West Baltimore

[TheWall]

bingo!

I have to ask though why use sarcasm here at all? Why not just say a group of people was cleaning up their town?

[Leonhard]

Leonhard yes it exists but is not as wide spread as those on the left want you to believe they continue to call those of us who believe in the sanctity of life, Family, etc to be white supremists.

We have them in Denmark too you know, but they've always struck me as an insular group of skinhead losers. So I've never found myself too concerned about them.

Because it's been in the news that the liberals have run Baltimore and allowed it to become a rat infested garbage blah blah blah..... so the white conservatives are doing what they think the liberals should have been doing all along.

In a related vein, I'm appalled by the number of people who don't recognize that The Babylon Bee is satire. (Snopes, anyone?) And I've even encountered Christians who are opposed to sarcasm and satire on the basis that they are "untruthful."

People that humorless or unintelligent should be medicated and denied access to the Internet.

That's what they are over here too. Yet to listen to the media, half of the USA are White Nationalists. At this point it has no meaning. It is a real world example of Godwin's Law.

Snopes has made fools of themselves by "fact checking" the Babylon Bee so many times that in order to cover it up they are now claiming that BB isn't a satirical site.

The BEST satire touches hard on TRUTH.

Strictly speaking this is not currently accurate. They backed off that claim under legal pressure. The particular "debunking" that made that claim was rewritten.

They needed legal pressure to back off?

Yep. It was all over the news about a week ago.

KG it's meant to be sarcastic since the left says all who hold to tradition conservative views(sanctityr of life, famly, etc) are white supremacists.

That simply isn't true. And there are plenty of black religious people that hold those same views. But they do probably consider white people that tell black people to 'go back where they came from' to be espousing white supremacist views.

The article doesn't say anything about a white supremacist.

Well apparently you can't even be sarcastic about this stuff without it being true.

From Teal's thread:

While the residents were thankful for the overhaul — well over 100 volunteers came together to remove 12 tons of trash, according to Presler — the liberal media were, uh, irritated. The media attacked the activist as an "extremist," questioned his motives, and scolded him for "reinforc[ing] the tired image that the poor people in this city can’t take care of their own neighborhoods." - Wired

There's a reason this story has disappeared from MSM....

Trump Supporters Clean Up West Baltimore as Thankful Residents Defy Media Narrative

After President Donald Trump drew attention to Baltimore, some of his supporters went down to West Baltimore to assist with a cleanup effort. The group posted pictures of the effort with before and after photos and found some interesting things along the way.

According to OANN, the group was led by activist Scott Presler, who lead over 100 volunteers after the controversy first arose in the media. Presler said his cleanup effort started with a simple tweet about going to clean up Baltimore, even if it’s just by himself. The tweet went viral, and before he knew it the effort had a slew of volunteers ready to go.

The residents themselves were highly grateful and didn’t seem to be angry at Trump whatsoever. In fact, at least one of them didn’t understand why people were angry with Trump for bringing attention to it.
