The National Park Service has approved an application for a year anniversary commemoration of Charlottesville's violent white supremacist rally to be held in Washington, DC.
DC's WUSA9 reported that NPS approved the application but has not yet issued permits for the rally set to be held at Lafayette Square, a seven-acre park just north of the White House. The event is to be organized by Jason Kessler, the organizer of the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville where 32-year-old Heather Heyer was hit and killed by an alleged white supremacist.
"This year we have a new purpose," Kessler said, discussing the upcoming rally. "That's to talk about the civil rights abuse that happened in Charlottesville, Virginia last year."
Kessler claimed it wasn't his fault that "that stuff happened," and said that in the months since the rally ostensibly intended to "defend" a statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee, "white civil rights" have taken a hit.
"We're not able to peacefully assemble. We're not able to speak," he told WUSA. "I keep telling people if your right to rally and your right to protest means that someone else's life might be in danger, then it is no longer free speech but it is hate speech."

It would work very well both ways. It's a shame 'freaky friday' is just bad fiction instead of real science...
If laughter is the best medicine, who are the best doctors?

Oh wow, yeah waking up as a white male would be pretty terrible!
Oh wait, I do that every day and I see how quite often I'm treated like a human being and my FoC (friends of color) are treated like shit by default. Oh god people might mistakenly call me racist!! Oh, that has never happened to me because I'm not racist and I'm sensitive to the discrimination minorities experience so I don't stick my foot in my mouth all the time. And if I do I'm a decent enough human being to apologize for mistakenly causing offense.
I don't know why this is so hard for conservatives... oh right, RACISM!
Fuck off and have a shitty day :P

Offense isn't caused it's taken. You have the choice to either be a hysterical shithead over non-malicous things or to not. By all means, knock someone on their ass for saying something with malice, regardless of the wording. Shut your cry-pussy ass up about anything that's not said or done with deliberate malice though.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
