Do you remember this:
Where are the flowers today?
They are in the gutter along with every thing else.
San Francisco, the city I knew, is destroyed.
In place of flowers, there is filth. The streets are overflowing with it. Excrement, hypodermic needles, crime. The city fathers, a collection of white liberals and sexual perverts, have legalized robbery by blacks up to $950 per black per robbery. It is a form of reparations. Store owners, managers, and security guards stand helpless while blacks loot the stores. A large number of San Francisco stores have closed as they are treated by blacks as free distribution centers.
The looting has now spread across the bay into Walnut Creek. When I was a graduate student at UC Berkeley, Walnut Creek was an upper-middle class residential area. Today as many as 90 looters descend on a store and empty it. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2021/11/21/nordstrom-looting-walnut-creek-follows-looting-union-square/8710615002/

They will next be robbing hotel guests room by room. I remember checking into an upscale hotel on Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana Beach sometime in the 1980s. I asked the clerk why the hotel had 30 armed guards with submachine guns in the lobby. He replied that last week a gang took over the hotel and robbed guests room by room. The same event can’t be very far in our future. Democrats already permit blacks to burn and loot the business districts of Democrat-controlled cities. Just ask any resident of New York, Chicago, Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland, Atlanta what life is like in Democrat cities.
Democrats and other stupid people say this is just the adjustment process while multiculturalism works out its rough spots. Yet the murder of white people by blacks rises daily.
Multiculturalism has required legal privileges for blacks. A white person who steals from a store or shoplifts is prosecuted. The white person doesn’t have to exceed $950 worth of stolen goods before he is arrested.
Multiculturalism has required reverse discrimination against white people in university admission, employment and promotion. White people are also losing the right of self-defense. If a black person attacks a white person, it is just assault, but if the white person resists, or interferes when a black is attacking another white, it is racism and a hate crime. The same charges are brought against white police who attempt to enforce the law and protect property.
Multiculturalism has required the abolition of education standards both in admission requirements and in graded performance. All standards have been lowered, even in STEM subjects. First rate STEM high schools have been destroyed, because the standards were “exclusionary.” Today a STEM school is no different from any other school.
Multiculturalism has required a rewrite of American history in order to explain away the poor performance of preferred minorities as a result of white racism and racial discrimination.
Multiculturalism has required the destruction of social cohesion. There is no assimilation. Unity has given way to a Tower of Babel. There no longer is an American people.
A Tower of Babel is not a country. Thus the erosion of national sovereignty to supranational entities.
Multiculturalism has proven itself to be a destructive force. It does not enrich a culture. It destroys. That is the purpose of critical race theory, the New York Times’ 1619 Project, non-biological gender claims, and the shrinkage of the English language by Wokeism. We are even losing the ability to express ourselves.
There are no longer American values. Both universities and media, institutions totally dependent on free speech and open debate, no longer believe in either. Universities and media have degenerated into propaganda organs enforcing official narratives as in Stalinist Russia and Nazi Germany.
Over the course of my life I have watched the slow but persistent destruction of the United States. My country was never perfect, but it had a Constitution that protected civil liberty and it had a population with moral fiber. Where are these things today?

Shotguns are called “street sweepers” for a reason, get to sweeping San Fran and LA
(and honestly, if you’re still in Cali,….WTF?)
“street sweepers” are class III items. Saiga with 20 round drums are street legal and one fine weapon. If you decide to get one, the drum MUST BE INLETTED TO THE SPECIFIC FIREARM.
It is time for new nations.
No Sir. I respectfully disagree. This nation was founded to be for freedom and liberty minded people, not marxist or maoist communists, fascists and nihilists who respect neither individual private property, life or liberty. We must not cow before those who would impose a Marxist authoritarianism or totalitarian regime.
Rather than new nations, it’s a long time past to rid this one of its communists and radicals along the lines of Pinochet of Chile, except on a level ten times more intense and aimed at either running them across the oceans or burying them here, however they wish it.
Attending college in the early eighties, somebody would get the idea to have a ‘garbage can party’
One large container, guests would dump in their favorite hard liquor, you ended up with a nasty concoction and many preying ‘to the porcelain god’ the next morning.
Our society and culture has become the ‘garbage can society’
Black Looters Matter
They only matter to me when they’re laying dead in a ditch or street somewhere.
Bring back segregation. I have zero desire to live around people who are not like me.
I remember in the sixties when integration was being forced on us they claimed it was to bring the blacks UP to our level. Many whites declared it would bring the whites DOWN to their (the blacks) level.
Pretty obvious who was right.
It is pretty obvious who was right about a lot of arguments over the 250 years and it was almost never the winner.
Being 75 I can concur with you on this. I known some fine black folks who have risen to the challenge and succeded. The great majority have no desire to suceed. I say thar with great sadness.
I’m an American septuagenarian, born and raised in South Carolina, who nevertheless had considerable sympathy for Black folks, and had no problem working side-by-side with them. Some were great guys, some were violent assholes.
However, as things now stand in the FUSA, I no longer give a damn about our ‘race problem’; much of our discord appears to be deliberately fueled by our uppermost socioeconomic strata in order to keep the lower-down people fighting among themselves.
Functionally, I just avoid Blacks as much as I can, and assume that those I do interact with have been ‘affirmatively actioned’ into whatever role they may have, and expect no competence from them. Now and then, I am pleasantly surprised, but I’m afraid that the exception only proves the rule.
Could not have said it better..Born and raised S of the Mason-Dixon Line from1950 on..Had good relations with black people growing up and hoped that the 1960’s would really help blacks…6 decades of watching the black culture slide willfully into violence, ignorance, and hatred has hardened my heart..F… all of them.I want nothing to do with any of them..SEND THEM BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are several million wonderful black Americans who want nothing more than to work and raise their families and to be left the fuck alone.
Than you have the 39 million niggers who would just as soon slit your throat as piss on you.
My solution? I avoid ALL of them. I will not live anywhere where more than a very infrequent sighting of a black is the norm. For those of you that have decided to play Russian Roulette everyday…well, good luck
America is no longer great because America is no longer good. Since the end of WWII Americans have focused on getting everything in the rush to “he who dies with the most toys wins” syndrome. Toss the bible out of scnool, murder children in the womb, rob, cheat and plunder etc. Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived, God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Hosea 8:7 For they have sown the wind, and shall reap the whirlwind. Perhaps there may be some minor positives in America’s future but the trendline is toward it’s destruction unless it repents and turns once again toward God.
America is still good, but the USA may never have been.
From the Feral Irishman. How long before he is prosecuted for price gouging?

Went to SF several times when I was stationed at George AFB (Victorville, CA) in 1975.
I absolutely fell in love with the place. Would have stayed there upon discharge if possible (but, it wasn’t).
Went back several more times in the80s and 90s when I worked for HP (headquartered in Silicon Valley). Still beautiful. Still loved it.

My point? Beware of the SPEED at which Demfuk-Libfuks can fuck up and destroy a really good thing.
You can thank the wacko radical demonrat policies of the last 50 years for that. It is now the Gulag of San Francisco.
So much to unpack here.
“I am going to call the police and make an allegation.” of what?
“you as a white person are in front of my house, and I am a black person, and that is threatening to me.”
“this is private property” looks like a sidewalk to me.
“I am going to get you arrested.” for asking a question in a public place of a public representative in front of her house, the address of which is public knowledge?
“if my children get killed as a result of this” why would anyone want to do that?
There is no amount of camo you could wear, girlfriend, that will help you hide from the people you are supposed to defend.
Also, she was investigated 9 month ago for an alleged road rage incident, but was later cleared. I totally don’t think she would have road rage in her, nope, definitely not (/s).
black woman failing to wear a mask-how dare she-going to kill innocent bystanders.
The nit-wit’s really on a roll.

The title didn’t match the vid so here I FIFY……
The problem with liberalism, is that it is ignorant of the realities of human nature. Humans are always their own worst enemy, and the worst among us, lack the self discipline to even do what is in their own best interests. By subsidizing their lack of self discipline, you encourage their self destructive behavior, and that behavior, begins to negatively impact others around them.
While the snowflake liberals do not understand this, the people in government understand it very well. They know that their failure to enforce laws, and to allow crimes to go unpunished will cause violence and crime to skyrocket and to impact even they middle class suburbs. This is not the first time they tried this, but the last time in the late 70’s and early 80’s the people stood up and did what the government would not. They formed local neighborhood patrols such as the Guardian Angels and took care of the criminals themselves. This forced government to do something about the problem, as they could not lose power to the people.
Today, we are not seeing much in the way of public resistance to the crime. If this continues , the logical course would be for government to exploit the situation, and to let it get bad enough to be able to use it to extort the public into accepting draconian sacrifices in liberty, in exchange for the government promises of safety, if they do.
After all, that is always governments goal, to force compliance and obedience with their tyrannical rule.
PCR, Thank you. These things need to be said over and over. But as to your question “Where are they now?”
They are ….GONE WITH THE WIND. What the wind takes away never returns.
The US is now like Weimar republic in Germany after WWI. Bolshevism is rising in the US and has taken over most of the government, just like soviet Russia. Good thing we helped them defeat Germany in WWII.
Nobody is coming to help defeat anyone this time around. Defeat will come from within, and then, revenge.
