RedState "The people in West Allis, Wisconsin have a lovely holiday tradition.
"They have a neighborhood they’ve dubbed “Candy Cane Lane” from just after Thanksgiving to just after Christmas. Everyone decorates up a storm so it’s quite the sight to see, people come from all around just to visit." . . .
"Seriously? Who thinks this is a good idea to do this, not only just to a Christmas event for kids but a cancer charity no less?"
. . . "According to Candy Cane Lane’s website, this is what the street is all about…
In December, 1984, a wonderful group of neighbors living in West Allis, Wisconsin, joined together to collect donations for the MACC Fund – Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer, Inc., in honor of a neighbor’s child diagnosed with cancer. The neighbors worked in concert in decorating their homes and encouraged visitors to make a small donation as they drove through the festively enhanced neighborhood. All of the money raised went to supporting research, treatment, and the eventual discovery of a cure for childhood cancers and related blood diseases.
"So these folks with BLM think the way to gain awareness for their cause is to crash a street in Wisconsin dedicated to kids with cancer decorated in CHRISTmas tree lights and make a ton of noise? I have to give their PR firm oodles of credit for that stroke of non-brilliance. The problem we have here is that we have devolved into this society that we are now openly calling for only some lives to matter, not all. That you have this mindset that is flourishing in this country currently that the way to remedy previous injustices is to inflict more based on the color of one’s skin. This is 180 degrees from where the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was in his speeches and sermons and it is somewhere we need start heading back to ASAP." . . .
