Rampant Racism in America

[MadamSarcastra]

If anyone's interested, you can check out the ProPublica/FRONTLINE doc on PBS this Tuesday, August 7th....

Documenting Hate: Charlottesville

Baltimore Sun - We are currently unavailable in your region

If the only thing Frontline’s latest report, “Documenting Hate: Charlottesville,” did was serve as a righteous reminder of the hateful events in Virginia last August it would still be one of the most worthwhile TV productions of the summer.

The memorial sign marking the spot where Emmett Till was lynched keeps getting shot up: The sign in Mississippi that commemorates Emmett Till was shot, the fourth time it has been vandalized

Well, what do we reasonably expect?
No shortage of cowardly a$$holes with guns out there.

Well, KISS just had to do something about it while on their “Freedom To Rock” tour. In the middle of the concert singer Paul Stanley stopped during “Born Free” to say “F-ck Colin Kaepernick.” Then he has a few words for those who support “take a knee”.

Just for the record, growing up in the 70's, I used to love KISS, now I am only sick and tired of these entitled asses.

I never liked KISS. Never. I thought they were one of the crappiest and most inauthentic bands in existence. This just proves my instincts were right.

One of my exes loved KISS.... I should've dumped his *** right when he played that first shitty song. What garbage.

It should be pointed out that likely none of the terrorism mentioned is the kind of "muslim extremist terrorism" that the average 'murican is afraid of ... rather the one perpetrated by white, right-wing extremist, you know, the one that officially does not exist ...

Yes, even in El Norte California, which used to be part of Mexico, there are ignorant racists.

Fox News Remembers Aretha Franklin With Photo Of Patti LaBelle

Because they all look alike to Fox News and to their viewers, amirite?

(I’m currently watching the news on my local CBS affiliate while waiting for Stephen Colbert at 11:35, and they managed to get it right in their news coverage.)

Time for a little diversity:

A black Democratic legislator used racial slurs about her Asian primary rival

Detroit black (!) Democrat (!!) ex-representative insulted Asian Democrat representative and told her campaign workers "You are immigrants who do not belong here" and "I want you out of my country".
