All things Racist...USA edition (3 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.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KOLR) — The outspoken co-founder of Return to the Land, a relatively new whites-only group based in northern Arkansas, said the group could be expanding to Missouri.

Eric Orwoll, co-founder of Return to the Land (RTTL), told Nexstar’s KOLR that a group of people is considering developing an RTTL community near Springfield.

According to RTTL’s website, RTTL is a private member association exclusively made for white people. Jewish people are also barred from membership. Members are vetted through an application process based on European ancestry.

“We seek to create a decentralized movement, formed of various individuals and societies returning to the land,” RTL’s website says. “We will promote strong families with common ancestry and raise the next generation in an environment that reflects our traditional values.”

The group’s homebase land association is based on 160 acres in northern Arkansas and has been in development since 2023. Orwoll said the draw to northern Arkansas was its “affordable land, natural beauty, abundant water resources and a conservative, predominantly white population.”

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) released a statement on X earlier this month saying the Arkansas development not only revives “discredited and reprehensible forms of segregation,” but it should also be illegal under the Arkansas Fair Housing Act, the Fair Housing Act of 1968, as well as other federal and state civil rights laws.............

The University of Edinburgh, one of the UK’s oldest and most prestigious educational institutions, played an “outsized” role in the creation of racist scientific theories and greatly profited from transatlantic slavery, a landmark inquiry into its history has found.

The university raised the equivalent of at least £30m from former students and donors who had links to the enslavement of African peoples, the plantation economy and exploitative wealth-gathering throughout the British empire, according to the findings of an official investigation seen by the Guardian.

The inquiry found that Edinburgh became a “haven” for professors who developed theories of white supremacism in the 18th and 19th centuries, and who played a pivotal role in the creation of discredited “racial pseudo-sciences” that placed Africans at the bottom of a racial hierarchy.


It reveals the ancient university – which was established in the 16th century – still had bequests worth £9.4m that came directly from donors linked to enslavement, colonial conquests and those pseudo-sciences, and which funded lectures, medals and fellowships that continue today.

Sir Peter Mathieson, the university’s principal, who commissioned the investigation, said its findings were “hard to read” but that Edinburgh could not have a “selective memory” about its history and achievements.………

In the early 1940s, Gloria Moore’s parents migrated west from Arkansas, seeking – as many Black southerners did at the time – work, and a reprieve from poverty and Jim Crow.

They first found jobs working in the wartime shipbuilding industry in Portland, Oregon, before ultimately settling in Russell City – a small, unincorporated community in the San Francisco East Bay, and a bastion of Black and Latino culture and life. There, the Moores bought several acres of land, built a house, and raised Gloria and her three siblings.

Now 82, Moore remembers life in Russell City as rich, pastoral, and communal. The local school, where her mother worked as a cook, had dedicated teachers and an impressive orchestra; the dirt roads that cut through town led to vast oak fields that exploded with wildflowers every spring; and residents always looked out for one another.

“We really were a village,” Moore said, recalling reading National Geographic magazines over milk and cookies at the home of the local librarian.

But in 1963, that village was razed to the ground. Citing eminent domain, the predominantly white city of Hayward forcibly removed residents of Russell City from their land, paying homeowners paltry sums for their property before incinerating every building in the community to make way for an industrial park.

For the surviving members of the 205 families that were displaced, that trauma is haunting. “We lost everything. Our community was erased. My parents, they lost their dignity,” said Moore, who now lives in Los Angeles. “Our dreams were shattered and we were forced to scatter.”

From West Oakland to San Francisco’s Bayview-Hunter’s Point neighborhood, the Bay Area has a long history of displacement that has largely been forgotten by those not directly impacted.

But thanks to the work of a state-wide reparations taskforce, as well as local reparations efforts – including in Hayward, where city and county officials last week committed to allocating $1m to a fund for former residents of Russell City – these little-known stories are coming to light.

For the next seven months, these histories are also on display at the Oakland Museum of California(Omca). Through the lenses of history, art, and architecture, Black Spaces: Reclaim and Remain explores patterns of displacement in the San Francisco East Bay as well as the resilience Black communities have shown despite being repeatedly pushed out of the homes and neighborhoods they have built – first from the racist deployment of policies like eminent domain and today through a housing affordability crisis that disproportionally affects communities of color.

For museum director Lori Fogarty, it’s a narrative with reverberations far beyond the Bay Area: “This is a very local story, but it’s also a national story.”……

Ocala, Florida, is the center of an alleged racist incident. Ada Anderson, an 81-year-old white woman, now faces three counts of battery after allegedly using racial slurs and spraying bear mace at two Black children and their mother, April Morant.

According to WESH-2 News, Morant, the mother who was also allegedly assaulted with pepper spray by Anderson, moved into the neighborhood in November 2024, and made allegations on social media that her neighbor was hostile to her since the first day she and her children moved into the Marion County neighborhood.

Morant told the outlet that the incident incited by Anderson during the week of May 30 started over something small: bubbles.

“Bubbles. Literally. The bubbles put her in a whole other arena whatever going on with her mind,” Morant told WESH-2, before continuing to tell the outlet that she heard Anderson shout a racial slur before leaning over the fence with an object in her hand.

“What went through my head is I thought she had a gun. So I literally kind of jumped, it startled me ’cause when she was to the fence, she was over the fence like this, and I didn’t know what was in her hand, cause I’m looking at her really quick, and then she sprayed it,” Morant recalled.

Morant also said that she believed her neighbor, whom she has had problems with for months, is making her living situation untenable. She created a fundraiser to accelerate her departure from the neighborhood.

Although Anderson was charged with battery, Morant expressed disappointment that her neighbor was not given a hate crime charge, considering what she described her neighbor saying to her children. Anderson posted bail, was released, and did not respond to WESH-2’s attempts to contact her as of June 3......
