Battle of Hayes Pond [Chat]

edited October 2014 in Debate and/or Discourse
On January 13th, the KKK burned crosses on the lawns of two members of the Lumbee Tribe in Robeson County, North Carolina. One of the families was targeted because they moved into a white neighborhood. The other had a family member dating a white man. On January 18th, the Klan held a rally. Made sure everyone in the area knew it was going to happen. Their declared goals were "to put the Indians in their place, to end race mixing." About 100 Klansmen showed up to the rally. They brought a small speaker system, one light and a big KKK banner. If they had brought more lights they might have seen the ~500 or so angry and armed Lumbees advancing on them. The Klansmen's first inkling that they had chosen poorly was when the one light they had was shattered with a shotgun blast. The Klansman handled the armed confrontation in true Klan style. They ran like hell, abandoning their silly outfits and the banner they brought with them. "Catfish" Cole, the Grand Dragon of South Carolina ran so fast that he left his wife behind. And thus the Battle of Hayes Pond ended in a rout of the Klan and the end of Klan activity in Robeson County.

The regalia the Klan left behind was burned publicly. The banner ended up in Life Magazine.

I'll do another write up in a bit about why the Klan decided to go after the Lumbee tribe in the first place.
It involves them getting running away from angry black people with guns.

    Choco, don't worry about not having been with a guy. You're in a long term monogamous relationship, and it's entirely possible that you've never had the opportunity. Just do what you feel is right with another consenting adult and it's all good.

    And if you still feel uncomfortable, just blame the hetero-normative patriarchal paradigm.

    Choco, an orgasm is an orgasm. They aren't more special or magical because it's a dude or dudette.

    Oh thanks! I'm not super insecure about it but it's one of those things that's mildly irksome when someone makes a remark about bisexuals just having not decided or what have you.

    i have received the new smash bros on the 3ds, and out the box i'm competitive with the level 9 cpu. i'm not dominating it like i assume i should be. but i'm okay. maybe call our matches 60-40

    and then i go online and get slauuughtered and it's never even close

    i think i might actually have to start thinking about how to be good at smash bros instead of just winging it

    does anyone has tips for how to do good at smash? i feel like i have a lot of trouble setting up any kind of smash attack but everyone else is always so good at it. i imagine it has a lot to do with zoning or something? making your opponent land in your smash zone??

    According to evangelicals, gay orgasms are 10x more powerful and enjoyable, and thus are able to convert even the most upright god-fearing straight man.

    The Lumbee are pretty interesting as a group. They get recognition as a Native American tribe in the 1850's by the state of North Carolina, but they don't get Federal recognition until 1956. But they aren't a recognized tribe by the Federal goverment and thus don't have access to BIA services. And it bars them from following the normal application process for tribal status. They are the largest tribe east of the Mississippi to lack tribal status. There have been periodic attempts in Congress to correct this but they tend to fail.

    nice! I am jealous of successful trivia teams.

    (our home base bar just started doing trivia Wednesday nights but the format they rely on is like 2/3ds "guess the name and artist of this song from the mid-70s through mid-90s" and welp it is not a format nexus and I can really compete in because they never play any yeti-american music and getting me to recall the name and artist of a particular song is lol because brain damage weeee)

    did you get good prizes at least?

    Music round is my round. Usually I rock it.

    Tonight I was a little weak on it. It was all Postmodern Jukebox covers of famous songs. We got 9 out of 16. We should have gotten 10 out of 16, but one song was misattributed by the trivia master (he only accepted George Michael as the artist on Careless Whisper, even though it was originally released by Wham, and we didn't challenge it).

    The prices are meh. $15 pub credit. But it's walking distance from our house and we have fun.
