I can't make racist people stay away from restaurants. Calling them terrorists is a bit of a stretch too.
I know that this story is supposed to be humor. And that person asking for remedies to racism is clearly asking the wrong person.
But a standalone fact is that racism is indeed terrorism. When you call a Black person "nigger", you are referring to a long history of abuse, often lethal (and worse) of Black people. You are saying it to terrorize them. Not just personally, but as part of a whole group of pe
If racism is terrorism, then we are all terrorists.
Recently a woman with dark skin (white mother, black father) was shot during a drug raid. She had 6 children from 5 fathers, and lived with a new boyfriend who was the focus of the raid for crack dealing. The self-appointed black leaders of the town shouted for months (and are still shouting) about racism in policing and the court system, brought Jesse Jackson to town, and called for murder charges against the officer. He was acquitted in court of lesser charges, and now they are pushing for a federal civil rights case.
Meanwhile, there have been 300 police calls for shootings this year, many of them black-on-black and from the same neighborhood as the raid, and not a peep from the same people from above. Racism?
Uh, hate to break it to you there, but if you're referring to the Tarika Wilson shooting in Lima, Ohio, by Officer Joseph Chavalia, you're leaving out some salient points (and, might I add, attempting to smear the victim with irrelevancies).
For starters, she wasn't just "shot during a drug raid". That implies that the target(s) of the raid exchanged fire with the Lima police department. What actually happened is that another Lima police officer shot and killed the two dogs that lived in the house. Ch
I was just trying to give a quick example - all the intricacies brought out in court would have ended up with way too long a post for my point, which was pointed (as you know) at the Black Ministerial Alliance and a certain city councilman.
We warn the reader in advance that the proof presented here depends on a
clever but highly unmotivated trick.
