Far-right council members in Huntington Beach introduce agenda item to switch focus to US wars and America’s independence

The southern California city of Huntington Beach, a bastion of conservative voters, has made the move to block diverse monthlong celebrations of Black history, women’s history and Pride, in favor of observing the revolutionary and civil wars, California’s history and America’s independence.

An agenda item introduced on 19 December forbids any programming that pertains to previously established honorary celebrations for women, people of color and LGBTQ+ groups from taking place on city-owned property, including libraries, or of being featured in city communications such as social media posts, according to Natalie Moser, a city council member who voted against the action.

    Instead of hating on everybody else, why don’t they have a White middle to lower class, fucked by the man Parade. Its not like we all don’t know what it feels like.

    I genuinely hope they pass the bill.

    Imagine how fucking easy that discrimination lawsuit would be lmao.

    If I didn’t know how fucking stupid conservatives were, this would look like an inside job designed to bankrupt the city.

    And no one inside city limits with skin darker than a peach better leave before the sun goes down.

      I suspect you may be eating your peaches before they’re fully ripe, just saying.

        I don’t think I am.

        Does that look as dark as the average black person’s skin?

    Ok, so long as you kill st. Patrick’s Day and Christmas parades, but I know they won’t because those are white celebrations.

    I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

    Switch focus to US wars

    Because if you thought the kids hated America when they found out about the racism and sexism, wait till they find out about My Lai and Haditha.

      No no, we don’t talk about those only the wars we won like WW1, WW2, and the War of Northern Aggression. The last one we want to focus on the states rights, beat that point home.

      As soon as I saw the headline I already knew it was Huntington Beach. Every few years they try to do some dumb shit like this.

      Orange county is the NJ of LA and Huntington beach is the worst armpit in OC.

        For fucking real, douchebros in board shorts as well as grizzled clowns whose entire personality is their no-pipes motorcycle, invading the bars and itching for fights with people from Santa Ana/Garden Grove (as long as there’s more than one douche for backup).

        You heard me, HB clowns. Fuck you, I hope you step on a shard of flint, hard.

      They tried it in response to BLM protests, buddy of mine busted their embarrassment of a leader’s pencil thin lips with a fresh knuckle sandwich when they threw a soda on him.
