In fact, according to legal, political and race relations analyst Atty. Malik Zulu Shabazz, The race issue will be the albatross that will sink Trumps electoral boat.

6 Reasons Why Trump is Behind in the Polls: Black Lives Matter Analyst Weighs In - City Watch

A RACE row has erupted after teenagers demanded a Black Lives Matters message should be posted in a disused phone box in their home town of Wiltshire.

Urchfont, near Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire has a population of around 1,000 people, but it has become the setting of an international race row.

Teenagers have accused village elders of racism after they prevented the youngsters from posting messages supporting theBLMmovement.

Urchfont Parish Council was asked by a group of young people, upset by the death ofGeorge Floyd in America if they could use the box to create a historical information point.

The teenagers who went down all appropriate channels, have been told the plan has been rejected by five votes to three.

Emily Kinnaird told the meeting, Me and my friends thought it would be beneficial if Urchfont showed its support for the Black community.

I think it is important to use education to raise awareness of racism especially in predominantly white Wiltshire.

However, a majority of the local council claimed, The telephone box should be used only for local community purposes, as such this proposal covering the wider issue of racism should be rejected.

Lizzo and David Letterman Discuss the Black Lives Matter Movement - HYPEBEAST

IQALUIT, Nunavut An Iqaluit city councillor has resigned over comments she made on social media last week about the Black Lives Matter movement.

At a meeting Tuesday night, city council unanimously passed a motion calling for the resignation of Malaiya Lucassie.

Lucassie issued a statement Wednesday saying she would resign immediately.

The resignation comes after Lucassie's father, Nunavut legislature member Patterk Netser, made a Facebook post last week criticizing Black women for having abortions. Soon after, the premier stripped Netser of his cabinet portfolios.

Lucassie commented on her father's Facebook post. She said "all lives matter" and questioned why there wasn't a similar movement to Black Lives Matter for Indigenous people.

In her statement Wednesday, Lucassie apologized to the Black community for her comments.

"The city has portrayed me as an Inuk with a racist attitude. Please note that I am not against anyone or the BLM movement. I support and understand the movement as a member of a minority," she wrote.

"All I tried to say and sorry if it was misinterpreted is, why did we not have anything done for the lives of Inuit that have been murdered, raped, and abused? Why was there no such movement?"

She also said minorities "are often told to keep our mouths shut."

"It's time we stand up together and work together rather than going against each other."

The discussion around Lucassie's comments was held in-camera, but all eight councillors voted publicly in favour of her resignation.

Lucassie did not attend the meeting.

Janet Pitsiulaaq Brewster, Iqaluit's deputy mayor, made a public statement before council went in-camera.

"As soon as we hear 'all lives matter' or 'what about Inuit lives', it gives voice and power to anti-Blacks and promotes racism for all racialized groups, as racism affects us all," Pitsiulaaq Brewster said.

"I for one feel honoured that the Black Lives Matter movement has come to Nunavut and has specifically elevated the issue of Inuit rights along with Black and all Indigenous lives."

In a statement, Coun. Romeyn Stevenson said Lucassie's comments breached the city's code of conduct.

"The city council for the municipality of Iqaluit does not abide with the comments that were made by Councillor Lucassie," Stevenson's statement says.

"The council does not condone racism or gender violence and does not accept a world where such comments, or comments such as those made over the weekend, are let go without censure."

Lucassie was first elected to Iqaluit's city council in 2019.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 14, 2020.

TRANSCRIPT

President Trump lambasted New York governor AndrewCuomo in a tweet mid-August, saying, "A horrible Governor. Crime is taking over NYC & State, everyone is leaving. He is after the NRA. ... Cuomo killed 11,000 people in nursing homes alone. Crooked & Incompetent!"

In 2019, Cuomo signed into law radical pro-abortion legislation.

Cuomo forced New York City to celebrate the extreme law by lighting pink One World Trade Center and other New York landmarks.

While many Trump-haters compare the president to Hitler and the Nazis, Orthodox Jews recently flipped the comparison on Cuomo for the governor's restrictions on religious gatherings.

How Cuomo would act as attorney general can likely be predicted by reviewing attorneygeneralsunder Barack Obama,when Biden was vice president.

Obama first picked his personal friend Eric Holder, who became the first attorney general in American history to be held in criminal contempt by the U.S. House of Representatives.

Holder had failed to release Justice Department (DOJ) documents related to Operation Fast and Furious an effort to trace guns, possibly resulting in the death of border patrol agent Brian Terry.

Under Obama, the White House and DOJ decided Holder would not face criminal prosecution for the citation.

Holder alsosigned offon more government surveillance of phone and internet communication in the "war on terror."

Eric Holder: "Michelle [Obama] always says, you know, 'When they go low, we go high.' No, no. When they go low, we kick 'em."

Holder resigned in 2014.

Obama picked Loretta Lynch to replace him.

Taking office on April 27, 2015, Lynch, in the last year of hertenure, was intertwined with the Hillary Clinton email scandal.

Lynch had met privately with Bill Clinton but refused to disclose to Congress any details of their conversation.

At the time, Trump said of the private meeting, "It was really something that they didn't want publicized, as I understand it."

And Cuomo and Biden might share some knowledge they might not want publicized.

Andrew Cuomo: "I could now launch into a whole series of stories about fathers and sons and comparisons and ... but that would get us all into trouble so, I'm gonna stay away from that."

With a man like Cuomo, Biden as vice president might be tame compared to a Biden/Harris administration, which could spell the end of the Republic.
