So, here's a thread about Racism in Loudoun County VA.
2 Sundays ago we had a peaceful #BLM march in the little town of Purcellville, hosted by some wonderful young people! https://www.loudountimes.com/news/update-more-than-1-000-march-in-purcellville-in-support-of-black-lives-matter-movement/article_9bf26bb2-a909-11ea-b1a5-a78e44fee46f.html

They did a great job... powerful stuff! https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=VgkFsVT11us
Unfortunately there's a gun store here owned by this nasty hateful guy named Dale. He decided to hold a "2A/All Lives Matter" at the same time as the march

The "counterprotesters", we'll call them, came with long assault style guns that served no purpose other than to menace and intimidate the protesters... a clear act of racism
A guy named Christian Hoyt, who owns Sweet Fern Farm and sells meat to local restaurants like Magnolia's and Market Table Bistro in Lovettsville, came to hang out.
A couple named Gabe & Lisa Harcrow were there... Gabe's in the Reserves and has a security clearance with a government contactor. Lisa owns "Loudoun Lawn Expressions" a sign printing company. When their pics hit the internet, the Harcrows came to my house to intimidate me...
There was also this racist ass "Nurse"
My buddy Josh wrote an article about the event and what it meant... how racism is still alive and well in Loudoun... just take a look at the comments (or, really, don't...) https://www.loudountimes.com/opinion/stack-racism-is-alive-and-well-in-loudoun-county-it-always-has-been/article_8ae43658-ae99-11ea-9b20-93d9d34f2803.html
A couple of days ago, a prominent local restaurateur was outed as a racist https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/virginia-bar-owner-apologizes-for-drunk-wives-matter-shirt/2334622/
And then, just today, the long time Treasurer of our county, Roger Zurn, posted this meme on his personal FB page before quickly removing it...
I know racism has always been here and it's just easier to expose nowadays... but, seriously... these are all blatant acts of racism committed by people who are REALLY comfortable... what the fuck is going on in Loudoun County VA?
