That's Racist! (Racists Don't Care)

[GoblinCampFollower]

Thread full of WTF:

WOOOOW! This is the ultimate counter example to the people who say to "trust your gut." Some people have racist guts... If he was just robbing the bank he'd not have shown his ID... and it sounds like they couldn't be bothered to verify his information. She was "uncomfortable" because he was black. It needs to be a federal crime to call the police on someone for such subjective reasons.

Note that Atlanta (the city) is 51% black, and has a black mayor, and he was still arrested for "banking while black".

BOA is a rubbish bank anyway.

Like mentally linked clones, so if you cast her down she comes back more terrible than ever.

Earily similar to how Marvel Comics' "the three cuckoos" are described, actually.

Which is really the whole point of Critical Race Theory. Racism is embedded in our systems and institutions. It's not just a matter of changing individual minds, but about dismantling the structure that views black people as The Other.

Well... he was born in Pretoria, South Africa and he is white and became an official US citizen in 2002 ( I think) so there you go. He is African American. White South Africans do tend to be prejudiced against the black South Africans. Not much different from the way it is in the US and elsewhere. Although many elsewheres are much better than the US.

'The Northman' Tried to Take Vikings Away From White Supremacists —Forgetting White Supremacists Are Not That Smart

The Observer reports that at the movie’s London premiere, Eggers expressed that, in this film, he wanted to reclaim Viking history and Norse mythology from white supremacists who have used them as symbols of white pride and culture. He later told them, during an interview, that those associations almost dissuaded him from tackling the project in the first place: “The macho stereotype of that history, along with, you know, the rightwing misappropriation of Viking culture, made me sort of allergic to it, and I just never wanted to go there,” Eggers said.

We're being attacked by "alien races".

Chicagoan Abraham Bolden, the first Black U.S. Secret Service agent, pardoned by Biden nearly 60 years after conviction (msn.com)

Nearly 60 years after his conviction on what he claimed were racist and retaliatory federal charges, the first Black U.S. Secret Service agent assigned to a presidential detail has been pardoned by President Joe Biden.

Chicagoan Abraham Bolden, 87, who served on the security detail for President John F. Kennedy, was among 78 people granted pardons or commutations of their sentences on Tuesday as part of Biden’s first use of his executive clemency powers.

Bolden, who’d warned about lax security practices around the president, was charged in 1964 with attempting to sell a copy of a Secret Service file to a ring of counterfeiters. His first trial ended in a hung jury, and after he was convicted in a retrial, key witnesses said they lied at the prosecutor’s request.

Juneteenth soul food festival canceled in Arkansas after all-white panel of hosts revealed (msn.com)

In a moment that feels like it was pulled from an episode of "Atlanta," a Juneteenth soul food festival in Arkansas was canceled as quickly as it was unveiled after word spread that all of the "featured hosts" for the event were white.
On Tuesday, a Twitter user shared an image of a poster for the event, with the caption: "Somebody has to explain this to me."
The June 17 event, which had been scheduled to take place at the Little Rock War Memorial Stadium, promised "3 floors of food from some of Arkansas' top restaurants and caterers." It also advertised three featured hosts: Rex Nelson, the senior editor of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette; Heather Baker, the president and publisher of AY Media Group; and David Bazzel, an Arkansas radio and TV personality. All three individuals are white.
