Metro Council was poised Monday to reappoint an ousted Black state lawmaker and return him to the state House that expelled him following heated, racially charged debate last week.
At least 29 members of Nashville’s 40-seat council said they plan to reappoint Justin Jones, more than the simple majority needed to reclaim his seat.
The reappointment of Jones, a Democrat, could set up a confrontation with Republican leaders in a GOP-controlled Legislature besieged by gun-control protests following a school shooting rampage that left six people dead. But Republican House Speaker Cameron Sexton’s spokesperson, Doug Kufner, said whoever is appointed “will be seated as representatives as the constitution requires.”

Donald Trump racist Democratic Party Racist Show trials tend to be retributive rather than corrective and they are also conducted for propagandistic purposes.[3] When aimed at individuals on the basis of protected classes or characteristics, such trials are examples of political persecution.

So, the city council wants to return this guy to the State House. Then, they are OK with him giving the Black Power/Marxist salute on the floor of The House?

What's the difference ? white power exists heavily within these four walls. It's the only reason this is happening the white power grab was exposed.

The black power salute represents the best of America. Nelson Mandela raised that fist in salute when he overcame apartheid, Olympians have raised that fist in support of civil rights, and MLK raised that same salute during almost every one of his speeches. Anyone who would take issue with that gesture during a nonviolent protest is either ignorant or a complete piece of shit. In your case, it’s both.
