    Maybe they believe that the Fraternal Order of the Elks is a secret society grounded in white supremacy.

    FOE once denied blacks membership. But this elk has nothing to do with them.

    Obama, Holder, Sharpton Stoke Flames, Ferguson Officers Shot

    On Wednesday evening, two police officers were shot in Ferguson, Missouri after months of race-baiting from President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, the White House’s favorite race-baiter Al Sharpton, and their compliant media allies.

    One of the officers was shot in the face, the other in the shoulder. Neither was from Ferguson; one was from the St. Louis County Police Department and another was from the Webster Groves Police Department. As St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said, “These police officers were standing there and they were shot, just because they were police officers. I have said all along that we cannot sustain this forever without problems.

    When that animal Trayvon Martin attacked and tried to murder George Zimmerman and was given a dirt nap for his troubles, RACIST OBAMA tried to fan more flames of hate and violence.

    You know, when Trayvon Martin was first shot I said that this could have been my son. Another way of saying that is Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago.


    THIS is a cruel and racist LIE. Any son born to Obama would have grown up rich and privileged, attended private schools. 35 years ago Obama was raised RICH and never had to earn anything in his entire life.

    If you are looking for OTHER Democrats who are okay with the rioting and looting TODAY, look no further than the RACIST Democrats in the House.

    https://www.westernjournal.com/house...oting-rioting/

    House Dems Block Resolution Condemning Looting and Rioting

    A resolution introduced by Republican Rep. Greg Steube of Florida that went down in defeat on Thursday condemned the rioting and looting that followed the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis in May and failed to attract a single Democratic vote in support, according to the Washington Free Beacon.

    People can talk all day long on the subject of racism, but these DEMOCRAT voted AGAINST condemning the violence. That means they support it.

    I think the Elk stature falls into the White Privileged scheme, more white people hunt because whites are privileged, so the elk is a symbol of that because more white people hunt.

    That's my theory.......

    It's a clue when an organization that calls itself Black Lives Matter has absolutely no interest in black lives and liberals and their media buy into the nonsense.

    ""Chicago: 75% of Murdered Are Black, 71% of Murderers Are Black"

    https://www.intellectualtakeout.org/...ers-are-black/

    I didn't find a supporting citation from the Democrat media. No surprise there. This article is four years old but have things gotten better in Chicago or anywhere else. We see cities working hard to make it worse and we don't hear a peep from BLM about black lives lost...unless it fits their political narrative.

    All Live Matter and BLM can pound sand and Democrats can keep kneeling and groveling. It's what they do while people die.
