    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.

    The Louisiana Supreme Court has apparently been taken over by a woke mob

    I'm glad to hear that.

    :)

    But because it's county level stuff in a state a long way away from me I don't feel like it's my business.
     
    @Farb defending a racist judge is the least surprising thing ever. If white people calling black people the n-word is common by you and those in your community when confronted with black people who are breaking the law, then you've given more justification for the BLM movement than the woke left ever could. That we're in 2021 and you're trying to convince everybody here that those who use such language aren't racist, is just proof how far down the rabbit hole the right wing has gone.

    She wasn’t under duress in that leaked recording. They were watching the security camera footage after the fact and they were all laughing their &&& off while calling that dude the n-word, and a roach. When it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it is a duck including those who defend that behavior.

    Her using the word by itself had no effect on her job that we know. The reaction from the mob for using the word is what got her suspended.

    this is a ridiculous take.

    Let me ask you a series of questions about this.

    Do you think Black people in America have historically been treated fairly by the American Court System?
     
    About road & historical markers
    ===================
    HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania had been installing historical markers for more than a century when the racist violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017 brought a fresh round of questions from the public about just whose stories were being told on the state’s roadsides — and the language used to tell them.

    The increased scrutiny helped prompt a review of all 2,500 markers by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, a process that has focused on factual errors, inadequate historical context, and racist or otherwise inappropriate references.

    So far, the state has removed two markers, revised two and ordered new text for two others.

    Across the country, historical markers have in some places become another front in the national reckoning over slavery, segregation and racial violence that has also brought downCivil War statues and changed or reconsidered the names of institutions, roads and geographical features.


    The idea that “who is honored, what is remembered, what is memorialized tells a story about a society that can’t be reflected in other ways” is behind an effort by the Montgomery, Alabama-based Equal Justice Initiative that has installed dozens of markers, mostly in the South, to remember racial terror lynchings…….

    “There is a lot of tap-dancing over who initiated which battle or skirmish,” said historian Ira Beckerman, who recently produced a study focused on Pennsylvania markers that relate to Black and Native American history. “If the settlers started it, it was a battle and therefore worthy. If the Native Americans responded in kind, it was a massacre, savagery, etc.”

    Beckerman concluded that as a whole, the state’s 348 Native American historical markers “tell a pretty accurate and compelling story of racism and white nationalism.”…….

    Racial reckoning turns focus to roadside historical markers

    Pennsylvania is undertaking a comprehensive examination of the stories told by its 2,500 roadside historical markers.

    Historically, no due to racism. In the recent past, yes. Currently, no, due to anti-racism.

    I miss those days when basic facts could be agreed upon…but (mostly) conservatives have made that difficult. And most of them aren’t really conservatives….

    You know who else has programming down? The same folks who tell you burning and looting is protesting. Women can be men and If you go to church, you will get covid, but you are fine burning and looting in the name of a fallen martyr. But yeah, I am the one brain washed.
