A black state lawmaker will hold a do-over Friday after a social media backlash over ribbon-cutting photos from the revitalized Gateway Arch National Park in St. Louis that included only white people. 

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch...

Democratic state Rep. Bruce Franks Jr. said Thursday on Facebook Live that the image wasn't reflective of the city he represents. He proposed a new photo with black leaders, and scheduled a new ribbon cutting for noon Friday. 

"We want to show what St. Louis really looks like tomorrow," he said. 

Just over 200 people had RSVP'd for Franks' event on Facebook as of Thursday afternoon. 

The photos from the dedication featured more than a dozen people, including Republican Gov. Mike Parson and U.S. Senators Claire McCaskill, a Democrat, and Roy Blunt, a Republican. 

The Gateway Arch Park Foundation apologized in a statement Wednesday."As organizers of the event, we acknowledge that our ribbon cutting did not reflect the diversity of our community." 

A foundation spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a question of whether any black leaders had been invited. 

From KMOV (Channel 4) in St. Louis...

The city is almost 48 percent black, according to data from the U.S. Census, larger than any other racial group. 

The park was dedicated Tuesday, the culmination of a five-year, $380 million renovation that Missouri political leaders see as a template for the future of the national park system. It was the first major renovation since the Arch opened in 1965, and about two-thirds of the funding came from private donations. 

The 630-foot-tall (192-meter-tall) Arch is a monument to westward expansion that sits along the Mississippi River in downtown St. Louis.

Chaser. [Ribbon Re-Cut Outside Arch: "The Arch belongs to everybody - not just the wealthy donors," says City Treasurer Tishaura Jones., KMOX.com, July 6, 2018]:

A do-over on the Arch grounds Friday at noon -- a second ribbon-cutting for the new Arch Museum, after complaints that the original ribbon-cutting July 3 was all white, with no people of color. 

State Rep. Bruce Franks says the first ribbon-cutting highlighted what he calls "systemic problems" of race in the region. Holding the scissors this time were Franks and City Treasurer Tishaura Jones. 

"The Arch belongs to everybody - not just the wealthy donors, but also, this is paid for by taxpayers, and so that's why we're calling this the people's ribbon-cutting," Jones says. 

St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson, who was at both ribbon-cuttings, says while she didn't organize the first event, she regrets what happened, and says "the optics weren't good." 

"You know, that picture just makes everything that we're doing harder," she says. 

How could that photo have happened?, KMOX's Kevin Killeen asked. 

"Because we don't ask the hard questions of who's in the room and who's at the table," Jones said. "Sounds like people left their racial equity lenses at home." 

"Clearly, everyone needed to pay better attention," the mayor said. 

Anything too white is not a legitimate action in Black-Run America (BRA). The unbearable whiteness of [insert the activity here] is grounds for immediate outbursts of social justice hysteria, which the corporate media will gladly amply.

Black Panthers, Brandishing Semi-Automatic Rifles, Climb Stone Mountain on July 4th to Demand the Sandblasting of the Confederate Carving of Lee, Jackson and Davis

If you've read Black Mecca Down: The Collapse of the City too Busy to Hate, you'll know it's been predicted Atlanta is the city/region where The Happening occurs (if you haven't read it, get it here). 

Well, on the Fourth of July, blacks marched atop Stone Mountain in Georgia - with Black Panthers carrying AK-47s and AR-15s - to demand the sandblasting of the Lee, Jackson and Davis Confederate carving. [NAACP Calls for Sandblasting of Stone Mountain's Confederate Carving: The Confederate carving has become an issue in the Georgia governor's race., WLTX.com, 7-4-18]:

STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. -- Stone Mountain’s Confederate carving became an issue in the governor’s race on July 4, with the Atlanta NAACP chapter organizing a rally to call for the carving’s removal. 

The rally was set to begin around 7 am on Independence Day, even though Stone Mountain Park didn't officially open to visitors until 10:30 am. 

The group snapped a photo when they made it to the top of the mountain. 

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams has called for the carving’s removal, and on Tuesday, Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle – who faces Secretary of State Brian Kemp in the July 24 GOP runoff – weighed in. 

“When I’m governor, we will preserve Stone Mountain as the monument and cultural attraction it was intended to be, one that brings in visitors from around the world,” he said. “I will work on behalf of all Georgians, but I will also stand up to the extremists who think we have to sandblast the past to move into the future. 

“The Democratic nominee has called for removing the carving from Stone Mountain, and I’m the only Republican in this race who can stop her.” 

In a Twitter post, Kemp said, "I will protect Stone Mountain - and the carvings on it - because we should learn from the past - not attempt to re-write it." Abrams announced her support for removal of the carving in the immediate August 2017 aftermath of the Charlottesville, Va., riots that killed one person and injured dozens of others.

Why were Black Panthers allowed to climb Stone Mountain carrying semi-assault weapons?

The image from the rally above, though just over a score of blacks showed up, demonstrates the reality of black privilege in Georgia.

They are coming for the Confederate carving on Stone Mountain and they are carrying semi-assault weapons.

But it will never, ever stop with just Confederate monuments. They want to erase every last drop of white America's history.

If we lose, we lose everything. 

The demographic change in Georgia means the ascendant non-white coalition - fueled by an intense anti-white ideology - will take a perverse pleasure in eradicating Lee, Jackson, and Davis from Stone Mountain. 

They are coming for one of the most visible symbols of white heritage left in the world, a monument erected to the memory of our people

If we lose, the destruction of monuments to our people, heritage and history, will be but a prelude to our racial demise. [Atlanta NAACP plans large July 4 protest at Stone Mountain, AJC.com, 7-3-18]:

The Atlanta chapter of the NAACP wants the carvings of Confederate leaders gone from the side of Stone Mountain. 

On July 4, the group is planning a large protest, beginning at 7 a.m. The group will meet at a rally point in Stone Mountain Village visitor’s center and then march about two miles to the top of the mountain. 

“Join us to protest America's bigotry at the world's largest shrine to white supremacy. Express your disapproval of racism, sexism, religious intolerance and discrimination based on national origin,” reads a notice about the rally on the chapter’s website. 

The north face of Stone Mountain depicts three Confederate figures — Confederacy President Jefferson Davis and generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. Work on the carving began in 1923, according to the park’s website. It is 400 feet above ground and the entire carved surface covers about three acres. It is larger than Mount Rushmore. 

Stone Mountain has again become a focal point as conversations about removing Confederate monuments across the country have escalated. In 2017, Baltimore removed its statue of Lee, New Orleans removed four Confederate statues and several other cities around the country followed. 

Around that time, in August, Stacey Abrams — now the Democratic nominee for governor of Georgia — called for the removal of the Stone Mountain carvings in a series of tweets, saying, “Confederate monuments belong in museums where we can study and reflect on that terrible history, not in places of honor across our state… The visible image of Stone Mountain's edifice remains a blight on our state and should be removed.” 

On Tuesday, commenting on a tweet about the NAACP’s rally, Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle — who is now in a runoff race for the Republican nomination for governor — said, “When I’m governor, I’ll fight to preserve Stone Mountain as the monument and cultural attraction it was intended to be. I’ll work on behalf of all Georgians, but I will also stand up to the extremists who think we have to sandblast the past to move into the future.”

They come for it all.

First your history, your heritage, and in the process severing whatever pride you had in your ancestors. Then, racial amalgamation is inevitable.

It won't just stop with Confederate monuments.

It won't just stop with American monuments.

It won't just stop with European monuments.

It won't stop until there are no more European people threatening the future by merely breathing.

Radically Anti-White Magazine "Mother Jones" Attacks Russian World Cup Soccer Team For Being Too-White

Previously on SBPDL: When England Won the World Cup in 1966, the Team was All-White; in 2018, the English World Cup Team is 52% White


How dare the Russian 2018 World Cup (now one of the final eight teams still in the tournament) soccer team only play White Russians and not field a team of eight blacks like France or five blacks as England does![Russia’s National Team Is Too Russian, Which Is One Reason It Will Bomb out of the World Cup, Mother Jones, June 14, 2018

As host of the 2018 World Cup, Russia has the privilege of playing in the first match of the month-long competition. And as Team Russia takes the field on Thursday, soccer fans will see a national team that looks almost nothing like tournament favorites Brazil, France, Germany, Spain, or Belgium. 

The 2018 Russian World Cup soccer team is Russian

Russia’s team is almost entirely made up of white players who make their living playing for the country’s domestic league. The World Cup teams expected to get close to the final game are not only ethnically diverse, but are stocked with players who ply their trade outside their home countries, in the world’s most watched, most-competitive and highest-paying leagues: the English Premier League, Spain’s La Liga, and Germany’s Bundesliga. 

History and economics go a long way toward explaining why the Sbornaya, as Russians call their team, stands apart in these ways from most major footballing nations, but there’s also the well-deserved reputation of Russian football and its fans for racism and xenophobia, not to mention the nation’s ultra-nationalist political environment. 

While the world’s top soccer clubs draw on footballers from diverse nations, players may only play for a country’s official national team if they are citizens of that country. And once a footballer takes the field for a national team in an official competition, it is virtually impossible for them to switch to another team. 

This is the... ahem... French 2018 World Cup soccer team. Full of... Africans. 

International football is filled with stories of players who are granted citizenship in a country based on a parent or grandparent having been born there, or whose parent or ancestors immigrated to a new country, or who as professional athletes moved somewhere and played just long enough to gain citizenship. But you won’t find many of them in Russia. 

“Whereas lots of European teams like France or England have lots of black players, Russia never had an overseas empire,” says Richard Arnold, a professor of political science at Ohio’s Muskingum University who has studied race in Russian sports. The French and British national teams include many citizens of African heritage, typically tracing back to countries once colonized by Europeans. 

Russia’s isolation was heightened during the Cold War, when the Soviet Union placed strict limits on emigration. That meant fewer Russians lived abroad, where they might have learned soccer and come home to play for the Sbornaya, or produced future generations of multi-ethnic children or grandchildren with soccer talent.

How dare the Russian 2018 World Cup soccer team only play White Russians and not field a team of eight blacks like France or five blacks as England does!

France and England are now colonized by the 3rd world, while Russia is posed to dominate the 21st century because they have leaders who understand the importance of borders, nation, and preserving their heritage if they hope to exist.
