All things Racist...USA edition (2 Viewers)

[Farb]

I was looking for a place to put this so we could discuss but didn't really find a place that worked so I created this thread so we can all place articles, experiences, videos and examples of racism in the USA.

This is one that happened this week. The lady even called and filed a complaint on the officer. This officer also chose to wear the body cam (apparently, LA doesn't require this yet). This exchange wasn't necessarily racist IMO until she started with the "mexican racist...you will never be white, like you want" garbage. That is when it turned racist IMO

All the murderer and other insults, I think are just a by product of CRT and ACAB rhetoric that is very common on the radical left and sadly is being brought to mainstream in this country.

Another point that I think is worth mentioning is she is a teacher and the sense of entitlement she feels is mind blowing.

No way this won't cause a problem

DETROIT (AP) — Michigan's prison system has been ordered to recognize Christian Identity as a religious group, despite concerns by state officials that its belief in the separation of races could pose a security threat behind bars.

A federal appeals court said there are ways to keep the group in check without a sweeping ban.

“Each (prisoner) testified that he was nonviolent and would prevent others from acting aggressively at group services,” the court said Monday in 3-0 opinion.

“The department offered silence in response — it did not, for example, present any evidence that plaintiffs or any other inmates who follow Christian Identity are violent,” the court said in an opinion by Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Richard Griffin.

Two inmates sued the Corrections Department, seeking recognition of Christian Identity and the ability to hold services, under a federal law that protects the religious freedom of people confined to prison...........

Members of the far-right organization, the Proud Boys, have been ordered to pay more than $1million damages for their role in destroying property at a predominantly Black church in 2020.

DC Superior Court Judge Neal Kravitz approved the judgement on Friday against Proud Boys members Joseph Biggs, Enrique Tarrio, Jeremy Bertino, and John Turano, as well as the group's LLC.

Judge Kravitz described the incident as "hateful and overtly racist conduct," according to CNN.


The hate group tore down the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church's Black Lives Matter sign while rallying in Washington DC in 2020.

On 12 December, 2020, individuals dressed in Proud Boys clothing had "leaped over Metropolitan AME's fence, entered the church's property, and went directly to the Black Lives Matter sign," according to Judge Kravitz's order.

"They then broke the zip ties that held the sign in place, tore down the sign, threw it to the ground, and stomped on it while loudly celebrating," Mr Kravitz wrote in his ruling.

"Many others then jumped over the fence onto the church’s property and joined in the celebration of the sign’s destruction.”……

Proud Boys fined over $1m for ‘hateful and overtly racist’ attack on Black church

Compensation will be used to repair sign and increase security at the church amid ‘ongoing threats’

Yep, no one has an easier time than black lesbians
================================


A prominent white historian sparked outrage when she told a conference that her professional life would have been easier if she were Black.

Lois Banner, who wrote a well-known biography of Marilyn Monroe, claimed at the Berkshire Conference of Women Historians she co-founded in the 1970s that being Black would have given her a professional advantage, and also wished aloud that she was a lesbian because they're good at organizing for their community, reported The Daily Beast.

“She was immediately called out for her blatantly racist remarks, and refused to apologize, let alone listen, to the reason why her remarks were horrifying wrong," tweeted Stephanie Narrow, a doctoral student who attended the session. "‘You won’t change my mind, I’m 84 years old.’”

“The room is shaken, it’s palpable,” Narrow added..............

That's just silly. She could just identify as a black lesbian if she thinks that would give her an advantage.

The room is "shaken?' By something an old woman said at a conference of women historians?

Um, no she can’t just identify as a Black lesbian.

You said it for shock value, to generate a response via trolling. Instead the response is something different than what you wanted or hoped for.

An Oklahoma judge threw out a lawsuit Friday that sought reparations for victims and descendants of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre, thwarting efforts by local advocates to seek justice for the attack’s last three living survivors and Black Tulsa residents at large.


Tulsa County District Court Judge Caroline Wall dismissed the case in a written order after reviewing complaints from the city, the regional Chamber of Commerce and other local agencies. They argued the plaintiffs’ request to compensate residents for the destruction of the prominent Black neighborhood would impose a significant burden on the government’s financial stability.


Originally filed in 2020 under an Oklahoma public nuisance law, the lawsuit argued that large swaths of Tulsa’s Black community still suffer from the damage brought on by the massacre nearly a century afterward.

The lawsuit demanded a detailed accounting of the property and wealth lost or stolen in the attack, the construction of a hospital in north Tulsa and the creation of a Tulsa Massacre Victims Compensation Fund.


Sara Solfanelli, one of the attorneys representing the survivors, told The Washington Post that her legal team intends to appeal Wall’s decision.
“Black Americans, especially Black Tulsans, carry the weight of intergenerational racial trauma day in and day out—a weight they cannot relinquish or cavalierly dismiss,” Solfanelli said in a statement.

“The dismissal of this case is just one more example of how America’s, including Tulsa’s, legacy is disproportionately and unjustly borne by the Black community.”

In their motion to dismiss, lawyers for the state argued that the government “cannot be held liable for civil disobedience, riot, insurrection or rebellion or the failure to provide, providing police, law enforcement or fire protection.”
Tulsa’s decades-long history with racial division is bound to the 1921 massacre in which an angry White mob descended on the 35-block Greenwood district, home to most of Tulsa’s 10,000 Black residents.

Over one night, attackers burned and looted homes in the area, killing hundreds of Black residents, destroying local businesses and taking valuable goods, according to a 2001 state commission report. Multiple personal property cases after the massacre were also dismissed in 1937.


The lawsuit’s plaintiffs, Lessie Benningfield, Viola Fletcher and Hughes Van Ellis, are the last known survivors of the 1921 events. Their attorneys argued that the massacre contributed to generations of economic instability for the city’s Black community.

Though many Black families fled Tulsa after the attack, those who remained were never compensated for their losses………

Ah yes, the old "you can't hold the state responsible for state agents refusing to do their job" excuse. And what a shame that compensating the victims of a violent, racist mob that destroyed their accumulated wealth might impose a burden on the city's pocketbook. Maybe the city forking deserves it at this point.

More than 100 years after a white mob destroyed a Black neighborhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma, killing as many as 300 people and leaving hundreds of others homeless, a judge has dismissed the decades-in-the-making lawsuit demanding justice in its ongoing aftermath.

A judge’s two-sentence dismissal closes a years-long chapter in a case, which traces the decades of neglect and festering racial disparities in Oklahoma in the long shadow of the racist massacre.

But the plaintiffs – including the three last-known living survivors of the 1921 attack and their descendants – have vowed to appeal. Civil rights attorneys are urging federal authorities to investigate the attack and uphold President Joe Biden’s promise to reckon with the “deep roots of racial terror”.

“This is not over,” civil rights attorney Damario Solomon-Simmons told The Independent. “We’re certainly going to appeal this case, what we consider to be an unfounded, ridiculous, wrong decision.”……

Can you explain in your own words what the ruling actually says? You post stuff from very biased sources and expect us to believe the spin. This site has been known to report false claims so can you provide any context. (a source this far to the extreme needs some sort of explanation, imo)
