Personal threats related to Drum Corps........!!?? If we've reached that level then I have little hope for our species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was around then, knew the Muchachos and Mike Mercadante, but not familiar with what you're referring to. (maybe I don't want to know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DCP FB group is not suppressing BLM, if you read the post on the group. They created a thread specifically for BLM posts, so that the entire group is not overrun. I am not an admin in the FB group, but it makes sense to me. Aside comment on photos...FB does not require photographs, so the background of any particular FB member is not automatically a "given" as was intimated in a prior post here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to keep uncomfortable discussion in a neat little side topic that is easy to ignore. The entire point of the BLM movement is to force white people to confront the reality of modern white supremacy. To make it impossible to ignore. Any action to restrict or police that message is wrong. Particularly at this moment in time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
