    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.

    Before Rosa Parks: Black veteran shot to death for refusing to sit in segregated section of bus in Durham

    Before Rosa Parks, there was a veteran riding on a bus through Durham who took a stand against racist Jim Crow laws - but he did not survive his action.

    As if the various don’t say gay, critical race theory, etc. laws aren’t intentionally vague AF
    =================

    ……Although the resolution passed, the clause banning members from associating with Nazi sympathizers did not make it in.

    Some members of the executive committee argued that the clause was too vague.

    One was committee member Dan Tully, who maintained that the clause “could put you on a slippery slope”.

    Committee members in favor of the clause expressed their disappointment of the vote to the Texas Tribune……

    After serving more than a month of in-school suspension over his dreadlocks, a Black student in Texas was told he will be removed from his high school and sent to a disciplinary alternative education program on Thursday.

    Darryl George, 18, is a junior at Barbers Hill High School in Mont Belvieu and has been suspended since Aug. 31. He will be sent to EPIC, an alternative school program, from Oct. 12 through Nov. 29 for “failure to comply” with multiple campus and classroom regulations, the principal said in a Wednesday letter provided to The Associated Press by the family.

    Principal Lance Murphy wrote that George has repeatedly violated the district’s “previously communicated standards of student conduct.” The letter also says that George will be allowed to return to regular classroom instruction on Nov. 30 but will not be allowed to return to his high school’s campus until then unless he’s there to discuss his conduct with school administrators.



    Barbers Hill Independent School District prohibits male students from having hair extending below the eyebrows, ear lobes or top of a T-shirt collar, according to the student handbook. Additionally, hair on all students must be clean, well-groomed, geometrical and not an unnatural color or variation. The school does not require uniforms.

    George’s mother, Darresha George, and the family’s attorney deny the teenager’s hairstyle violates the dress code. The family last month filed a formal complaintwith the Texas Education Agency and a federal civil rights lawsuit against the state’s governor and attorney general, alleging they failed to enforce a new law outlawing discrimination based on hairstyles.……

    Black student suspended over his hairstyle to be sent to an alternative education program

    A Black student who spent more than a month on in-school suspension over his dreadlocks has been told he will be removed from his Texas high school and sent to a disciplinary alternative education program on Thursday.

    ===============

    A Texas high school sent a Black student back to in-school suspension Tuesday for refusing to change his hairstyle, renewing a months-long standoff over a dress code policy the teen’s family calls discriminatory.

    The student, Darryl George, was suspended for 13 days because his hair is out of compliance when let down, according to a disciplinary notice issued by Barbers Hill high school in Mont Belvieu, Texas. It was his first day back at the school after spending a month at an off-site disciplinary program.

    George, 18, already has spent more than 80% of his junior year outside of his regular classroom.

    He was first pulled from the classroom at the Houston-area school in August after school officials said his braided locs fell below his eyebrows and ear lobes and violated the district’s dress code. His family argues the punishment violates the Crown Act, which became law in Texas in September and is intended to prohibit race-based hair discrimination. The school says the Crown Act does not address hair length.

    George’s mother, Darresha George, and the family’s attorney deny that the teenager’s hairstyle violates the dress code, saying his hair is neatly tied in twisted dreadlocks on top of his head.

    “We are just trying to take it day by day. That’s all we can do,” Darresha , told the Associated Press. “We do not see the light at the end of the tunnel. But we are not giving up.”……

    Ron Reynolds, a Democratic state representative and chair of the Texas Legislative Black Caucus, said he planned to file an amendment to the law during the next session that “specifically addresses length to stop their pretextual argument to not comply with the Crown Act”.

    “They are acting in bad faith to continue discriminating against African American students,” Reynolds said in an email.

    George said he feels like he is being singled out because there are other boys in the school with longer hairstyles than his. He was denied an exemption that the family requested because of the hairstyle’s cultural and religious importance.

    “It’s frustrating because I’m getting punished for something everyone else is doing, growing hair, having hair,” George said.……..

    The emergence of the Black Lives Matter movement almost a decade ago was predicated on the killing of Black people at the hands of law enforcement.

    In short order, though, that concern spurred a broader consideration of the ways in which racial discrimination or disadvantage is embedded in the systems that undergird American society, including law enforcement.


    There were obvious effects. One was that people became much more likely to point to discrimination as the central cause of economic differences between White and Black Americans.

    Another is that this shift occurred only among Democrats and independents; among Republicans, there was no change. Instead, the rhetoric from Republican leaders rejected the idea that there existed systemic racism in the country.

    Suggesting that it did was cast as unpatriotic and ahistoric.


    Black Lives Matter gained prominence at a moment when White Americans, particularly on the right, were already nervous about their social status. Demographers were projecting that Whites would no longer be a majority within a few decades, and older generations of Americans who are more heavily White saw younger, more heavily non-White generations emerging that espoused different political views generally.

    Donald Trump announced his candidacy in 2015, near the outset of the BLM movement, and his supporters were more likely than other Americans to say that they believed White Americans were the targets of discrimination.

    That pattern has continued. In July, Yahoo News commissioned polling from YouGov looking at the extent to which different racial groups were seen as targets of racism. About three-quarters of Americans said that racism was at least a small problem for Black people. Fewer than half said the same of White Americans.

    White Americans, meanwhile, were more likely to say that racism was at least a small problem for them. But among Republicans? A third said that racism against White people was a big problem and 7 in 10 said it was at least a small problem — a higher level than Republicans felt was the case for any of the other racial groups included in the poll………



     
    A white New Jersey man whose racist abuse of a Black neighbour went viral on social mediahas been sentenced to eight years in prison.

    Edward Cagney Mathews, 47, was filmedspitting, shouting and hurling racial slurs towards a resident at the Essex Place condominiums in Mount Laurel township, around 17 miles east of Philadelphia, on 2 July 2021.

    He pleaded guilty to four counts of bias intimidation and possession of a controlled, dangerous substance with intent to distribute in October and was ordered to spend at least four years behind bars before being eligible for parole, the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement.


    According to the Philly Voice, Mathews had gone to confront the president of the condo’s home owners’ association when the neighbour tried to intervene to defuse the situation.

    The viral clip showed Mathews aggressively square up to the man, use the N-word, chest bump him, and brag that he had run other Black homeowners out of town. He was charged with harassment and biased intimidation.

    A search of his home found a large quantity of psilocybin muchrooms, prosecutor’s said.……

    And the thing is, from a certain point of view (different from his POV), he's not wrong

    Enrollment in KKK and other white nationalists groups skyrocketed after Obama was elected

    There were people who voted Democrat their whole lives but wouldn't vote for Obama because they couldn't vote for a black man, and said so (including some members friends and families, posted on PDB)

    And amplified with the rise of Donald Trump

    "Things were so much better when those people knew their place and kept their mouths shut"

    And the old "democrats were the party of slavery, republicans freed the slaves" is just a played out disingenuous trope.
    =============================================================

    Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani blamed Barack Obama — the nation's first Black president — for a deterioration of race relations in the United States.

    On his Sunday radio program, Giuliani called Democrats "the party of slavery."

    "These miserable anti-American leaders of the party of slavery have taken us back 40 or 50 years on race relations with Obama," he said. "It began with Obama."..........
