Rampant Racism in America

FortyTwo said:
All Lives Matter people seem to be mysteriously silent when someone black is killed by police. They only show up to say all lives matter once other black folks show resistance and insist their lives matter. It's almost like All Lives Matter is a transparent attempt to shut down what black folks are saying by appealing to a vague sense of goodwill, or something.

Kinda like when an omni is invited to a vegans' dinner party complaining about the lack of meat :dismay:
 
A woman running for mayor of Charlotte is facing a backlash after appearing to advertise her race as one of her qualifications.

“Vote for me!” Kimberley Paige Barnette, a former county magistrate judge running for office for the first time, wrote on her Facebook profile.

Then, following two lines that included her name and “Mayor of Charlotte 2017” was a description of herself, in four capitalized words: “REPUBLICAN & SMART, WHITE, TRADITIONAL”

So in addition to being openly racist, she's also against the First Amendment right to free speech. Good to know. I'm curious to find out which other US Constitutional amendments she's against. The 13th, perhaps?

Yeah, she's a real piece of work, in multiple ways. Scary to think that she was a magistrate for a number of years.
 
Evidence that trying to blame a black man who is a figment of your imagination for stupid or evil **** that you yourself have done is not a thing of the past:

A campus security officer at a Minnesota college accidentally shot himself in the shoulder Tuesday night, and because he was afraid that he would get in trouble for the incident, he made up a story about a black gunman to cover up his mistake.

Ahlers, who is white, told police Wednesday that he made up the story because he was afraid of losing his job at the Catholic university for women, where firearms are not permitted and not issued to security personnel.
