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.

Can you show me a racist graffiti/noose 'attack' that has been done in the last 4 years that the media covered nationally that turned out to be done by actual racist and not the ones reporting looking to create racism or personal or ideological gain?
Like I said, there might be and this one MIGHT be one of them but I tend to doubt it. The vast majority have been hoaxes and most never get reported on again, that alone should tell you something.

no matter how many i post (there are quite a few), you will say something to the extent of "that wasn't covered as much" or well, that was only graffiti and not a noose". or "those were just juviniles" or "insert, thats different because". So i'm not gonna waste my time in posting the links. they are there if you Google, i promise you..

The 17-year-old Michigan girl is speaking out more than two years after her parents filed a federal racial discrimination lawsuit against her school district following months of taunting and harassment.

The Detroit News sat down with Clara Malick and her parents, Rob and April Malick, for an interview published on Jan. 3, and she shared her experience while attending Croswell-Lexington High School in Croswell, Michigan, back in 2021.

Clara — who is adopted — said she was repeatedly called the N-word by her white classmates, who taunted her. Her suit reports Clara was one of three Black students in a district of more than 2,000 students.

The teenager said white students would often “call me the N-word or say the N-word in a sentence. And they’ll look at me for a reaction.” Clara added that she didn’t know how to react at first.

“I didn’t know how to react, because I didn’t really know what the word really meant,” she continued, adding that while she’d heard the word before, she’d never been called it.

The teen added that, eventually, she would laugh along. “What else are you supposed to do? Like, the jokes aren’t funny, but you’re just like, ‘everybody else is laughing,’ so you gotta laugh, too.”

According to the lawsuit, Malick was taunted by white students on a nearly daily basis with racial slurs and threats of pulling out her hair. Students taunted Malick with phrases like, “Go back to the plantation and pick cotton” and “Your hair looks like s—t.”

The then-freshman was also told, “I’m going to snatch your weave and burn it,” and “I bet your hair is dead.” The lawsuit also detailed an incident where Clara told the students to stop and was blatantly ignored.

“Two students were mocking C.M. and using the n-word in Snapchat conversation. C.M. told them ‘STOP, it’s…not funny’ and explained the history behind the word. One student responded, “free speech, n—a,” the complaint says.

Just days later, the lawsuit claims, Clara was told: “All the n—s will be shot after school today at 3:00 pm.”

A teacher was scheduled to protect Clara by walking her to class following the threat but was heard saying Clara was “playing the race card” and “which is what blacks do.”

The teacher also allegedly said the teen “deserved” what she got. The racial abuse prompted her father, Rob, to plead with the school for them to step in.

“Rob stated his ‘fear … that the racism and bullying is making her [C.M.]unravel…I would like to have a safe space for her at school’.”

However, the alleged abuse continued, and more faculty members also displayed racist behavior. One of the school’s civic teachers called Black Lives Matter a “terrorist organization” during a lecture, and another teacher told Clara that “not all racists are bad people,” according to their claim.

The Malick family filed a racial discrimination complaint with the Michigan Department of Civil Rights on Nov. 12, 2021. The complaint noted the racial discrimination Clara faced by both the faculty and students as well as the hostile environment she endured, including one student wearing a Confederate flag to school and not being disciplined.

The school board then passed a resolution to “reaffirm the commitment” to its existing anti-discrimination policy, but it was ineffective. Another Black student noted at the meeting that the racism came from the “same students, same families.”

Clara reports that days after that meeting, she was told by a white student, “I hate all you Black b—hes.”

After a student threatened Clara by aiming a slingshot with scissors at her head and said he was going to cut her with a knife, the Malicks filed a police report.

Clara and her parents filed a lawsuit against the school district in May of 2022, as well as the Croswell-Lexington Board of Education, Principal Kyle Wood, and the superintendent of schools, Dan Gilbertson, after the school failed to stop the abuse.

The bullying caused Clara to say she “wished she was white,” and she was diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Clara told her parents that she couldn’t handle the harassment any longer, and she took classes virtually before her parents took her out of the school permanently in the spring of 2022.

“They showed me that different is wrong,” said Clara of the abuse. “I felt disgusted with myself because I was different.” She now sees a therapist regularly and takes medication for her mental health.................

The Justice Department on Monday inserted itself in a lawsuit concerning transgender medical interventions for prisoners.

The department filed a statement of interest in a federal case involving a trans-identifying man in prison in Georgia who wants to receive gender surgery.



The anonymous trans-identifying man, called Jane Doe in court filings, is claiming the Georgia Department of Corrections has violated his rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as well as his constitutional rights by not allowing him to get gender surgery.

Again, Biden's administration showing that government is deeply involved in the trans issue.

You know... there is a difference between politically motivated meme's, which are not ok, and those non-political types that are used simply as a means of expression, which are ok.

Otherwise we do not allow those meant to insult either,

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Black woman hired by a northern Utah school district to investigate racial harassment complaints the year after a 10-year-old Black student died by suicide says that she, too, experienced discrimination from district officials.

Joscelin Thomas, a former coordinator in the Davis School District's equal opportunity office, alleges in a federal lawsuit that district staff treated her “as if she were stupid," accused her of having a substandard work ethic and denied her training and mentorship opportunities that were offered to her white colleagues.

“From the beginning of her employment, Dr. Thomas was treated differently than her lighter-skinned and non-Black coworkers and was subject to a hostile work environment,” the complaint states.

Thomas was part of a wave of new hires in 2022 after the U.S. Department of Justice ordered the district in a settlement agreement to create an office tasked with investigating and addressing reports of racial harassment. The order stemmed from a 2021 federal investigation, which uncovered widespread racial harassment of Black and Asian American students in the district just north of Salt Lake City, including hundreds of documented uses of the N-word and other derogatory epithets over a five-year period.

The civil rights probe found that Black students, who make up about 1% of the district's 74,000 students, had been disciplined more harshly than their white peers for similar behavior. District officials admitted to federal investigators that years of discipline data demonstrated a trend of staff treating students of color differently than white students, but the district had done nothing to correct the disparities, federal investigators said.

Several Black students had also told investigators that their white peers referred to them as apes, made monkey noises at them in class and told them that their skin looked like dirt or feces. Inappropriate comments about slavery and lynching sometimes went unpunished, and Black students recalled being told by their peers, “Go pick cotton” and “You are my slave.”

The district’s racial issues came to a head just two weeks later when Isabella “Izzy” Tichenor, a Black and autistic fifth grader, died by suicide after her family said she was relentlessly bullied by her classmates at Foxboro Elementary School in North Salt Lake. The 10-year-old's parents blamed her death on what they called an inadequate response by school administrators, whom they said were aware of the bullying but did nothing to stop it.

Tichenor, the only Black student in her class, had kids regularly calling her the N-word, telling her she was smelly and teasing her for being autistic, according to a lawsuit filed by the family. District officials admitted last year that school staff had mistreated the girl and agreed to pay her family a $2 million settlement after initially defending how it handled the bullying allegations. They also announced a separate $200,000 settlement shared between three Black students who said they experienced daily racial harassment.

The school district updated its harassment policy following the federal investigation and Tichenor's death, and it launched an anonymous online platform for any student, parent or staff member to report incidents of harassment or discrimination, spokesperson Christopher Williams said on Thursday.

Thomas was among those tasked with investigating the anonymous reports, but her attorney, Katie Panzer, said Thomas’ own experiences call into question whether the district has made any real effort to change its culture.

“Our hope is that through our efforts to address the violation of Dr. Thomas’ rights, the district will be forced to make systemic change," Panzer said. “The district has an obligation to provide both students and employees a safe environment free from race discrimination. We would like to see them actually fulfill that obligation.”


The lawsuit filed in Utah district court accuses Thomas' colleagues of treating her as a subordinate rather than an equal. About a month into her employment, a colleague handed her a pile of garbage and ordered her to clean up the trash during what was supposed to be an opportunity for Thomas to network with other administrators, the complaint states.

Her employment ended June 30, 2023, after administrators decided not to renew her one-year contract, Williams said, declining to explain why. Her photo had not been removed from the district directory as of Thursday................

These people are forking vile.

Yes they are. They evidently preferred Jim Crow, separate schools and water fountains and lynchings.

One of the fine people, a true patriot...

Yeah, it’s a two fer, really. There’s the foundational racism, and then there’s the claiming victimhood because of his own vile racism.

So now other alt-right thugs are jumping on the bandwagon.

A data scientist promoted by the rightwing activist Christopher Rufo, the Manhattan Institute thinktank, and other conservatives as an expert critic of the former Harvard president Claudine Gay has co-authored several papers in collaboration with a network of scholars who have been broadly criticized as eugenicists, or scientific racists.

Rufo described Jonatan Pallesen as “a Danish data scientist who has raised new questions about Claudine Gay’s use – and potential misuse – of data in her PhD thesis” in an interview published in his newsletter and on the Manhattan Institute’s City Journal website last Friday.

He did not tell readers that a paper featuring Pallesen’s own statistical work in collaboration with the eugenicist researchers has been subject to scathing expert criticism for its faulty methods, and characterized as white nationalism by another academic critic.…….
