Some Racist Librarian Bullshit...

This is in response to David Lee King's blog post on:
And look at the photo--a photo of a white dude with duct tape on his mouth!!!!
Poor White Dude who can't spout his hate!

Fuck David Lee King! " We stand for the principle that government and public information shouldn’t depend on the whims of the moment.” Quote from Joseph Jane's article that D quoted. It isn't a fucking 'whim' you asshole--maybe to SOME White people Genocide is a whim, the desire for genocide is a whim, or maybe it is that the potential victims are stating a whim that they don't like to be threatened. It isn't neutral if you are backing the ONE side--the white side. Fuck your founding fathers and their rapist bullshit. Fuck Nazi 'free speech.' It sure would be nice if people like mr. King would fight for POC's rights just as much as he is fighting for Nazi rights.

Um - thanks for reading? Two things in response:

1. My library does quite a bit to help disadvantaged people, POC, etc. In my post, I was just trying to draw attention to something I have been seeing lately on Facebook that could send libraries to court. Since public libraries are for the most part local government entities, they legally can't refuse a group the use of a meeting room based on the content of that meeting. Is that good? No, not always. So a library should maybe revisit their meeting room policy, or talk to their city attorney, etc to figure out what to do should the need arise.

2. On my choice of image with my post. A few people reacted that same way. What they didn't do was click through to the guy's Facebook page and find out more about him. According to Facebook, he is the son of an immigrant, identifies as brown and queer, and is an activist at black lives matter events. So I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he's not a white guy.

Hope that helps explain what was going on in my post.
