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.

Far-right provocateur Michael Knowlesdefended Donald Trump’s mass deportations on Tuesday by telling his audience that the president was merely getting rid of violent criminals, all while arguing that “we need prejudice” because “stereotypes are all true.”

Communities across the United States have been gripped in fear for weeks as they braced for raids from Immigration and Customs Enforcement amid Trump’s promises to clear out “illegal criminal migrants” and send them out of the country. In cities like Chicago and New York, thousands of immigrants have already been swept up in these “made-for-TV”raids, handcuffed, loaded into military planes, and flown to other countries.

Local leaders and immigration advocacy organizations have criticized the large-scale immigration arrests for causing “fear and anxiety” while also impacting legal American citizens, who have also been detained by ICE agents.

Meanwhile, Republicans and Trump’s allies in MAGA media have cheered on the deportations, mocked those upset over the arrests, and called for politicians who have pushed back on the administration’s actions to be targeted and even arrested.

The Defense Department's intelligence agency has paused observances of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Pride Month, Holocaust Days of Remembrance and other cultural or historical annual events in response to President Donald Trump's ban on diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the federal workplace.

The instructions were published Tuesday in a Defense Intelligence Agency memo obtained by The Associated Press and affect 11 annual events, including Black History Month, which begins Saturday, and National Hispanic Heritage Month.

The memo's authenticity was confirmed by a U.S. official who said the pause was initiated by the DIA and appears not to be policy across the Defense Department. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.............

Just so, so bad - these jackasses aren’t going to run the government well.

Common sense???

We need to have a thread called "Everything is DEI's Fault" where we can post all the bullshirt in. This is going to be a constant drum beat for this racist president/administrations failures.

That thread might rival the Random Picture Thread...

All this did was to reinforce my distrust in anything that comes from this government and that includes the results that may come from this accident "investigation".

On Friday, a North Carolina superior court judge ruled that race played a distinct role in jury selection for Hasson Bacote, a 38-year-old man who spent 15 years on death row before he was pardoned last December.

Bacote was sentenced to death in 2009 after a predominantly white jury found him guilty of shooting someone during a robbery.

His attorneys noted that there was racial bias in the courtroom, in which the judge and all lawyers were white and prosecutors struck Black jurors at three times the rate of white jurors.

Friday’s ruling from Judge Wayland J Sermons Jr does not apply statewide, but the decision could upend North Carolina’s death penalty sentencing laws. The state has one of the largest death rows in the country, with more than 100 people currently awaiting execution.


Along with his attorneys, Bacote filed a lawsuit in 2010 that challenged his sentence, arguing that race played an extreme role in the jury selection not only in his case, but also in all death penalty cases across the state.

His attorneys brought the case under North Carolina’s Racial Justice Act (RJA), a 2009 law that prohibits seeking or imposing the death penalty because of race. The court found evidence of racist discrimination in Bacote’s case, and other cases prosecuted by the North Carolina assistant district attorney Greg Butler.

“I am deeply grateful to my family, my lawyers, the experts, and to everyone who fought for justice – not just in my case, but for so many others,” Bacote said in a statement. “I want to thank Bryan Stevenson in particular for showing how unfair the jury selection was in my case. When my death sentence was commuted by Governor [Roy] Cooper, I felt enormous relief that the burden of the death penalty – and all of the stress and anxiety that go with it – were lifted off my shoulders. I am grateful to the court for having the courage to recognize that racial bias affected my case and so many others. I remain hopeful that the fight for truth and justice will not stop here.”

Last year Bacote’s attorneys called on historians, statisticians and other scholars who argued a history of racism in trials in Johnston county.

Johnston county, where Bacote was sentenced, has a long record of racism and problematic sentencing for capital defendants.

It was the site of at least six lynchings between the Reconstruction era and the first world war; featured KKK billboards that read: “Welcome to Klan country. Love it or leave it,” through the 1970s; and remains deeply segregated.

In Bacote’s case, the prosecution removed nearly three times more Black people from the jury than white people, while in the county overall they removed people of color at nearly twice the rate of white people, according to the ACLU. Since 1990, every Black person who faced a capital trial in Johnston county received the death penalty.

“We have white prosecutors standing in front of overwhelmingly white juries comparing Black defendants facing the death penalty to animals – ‘mad dogs’, ‘hyenas’, ‘predators of the African plain’,” Henderson Hill, senior counsel for the ACLU, said in a statement last year. “The racism in North Carolina’s application of the death penalty is so clear it’s blinding.”……..
