Five Black women playing golf were harassed by the law. The owner called the law on them after he accused of them of playing slow. One of the women is a local NAACP leader. |
An owner of a golf course called the law on Black women who were taking too long on the green.
This happened in the rust belt city of York, Pennsylvania.
Major celebrities are pissed at the situation that happened at the Grandview Golf Course in Dover Township, a community near York.
Black America knows that the golf course continues to be the most segregated place in the country. You may remember how right wing extremists were worked up over Barack Obama hitting the links. They see no problem with Donald J. Trump going to the links at his own properties on the taxpayer's dime.
Whenever a conservative white person sees a Black person on the golf course, they cringe at the very sight of that person.
Tiger Woods experienced this stuff too.
Sandra Thompson and her friends, Myneca Ojo, Carolyn Dow, Sandra Harrison and Karen Crosby had the law called on them after they were discussing the next hole after they finished.
The owner a former county commissioner named Steve Chronister confronts the women. He told them to keep playing. Three of the women decided to end the game early. The other two continued on.
A few moments later Chronister, his son and a few other men confronted the women.
And of course, the law was called. Thompson, the local chapter president of the NAACP immediately uploaded the video and it went viral.
The law didn't arrest the women but it did rile them up. A simple disagreement over playing time led to the cops being called.
The golf course apologized. It was forced after many celebrities like John Legend, Soledad O'Brien and Shaun King spoke out against it.
The golf course vows to reinstate their memberships and have a formal discussion with the women.
Yeah, like the Waffle House in Mobile and Starbucks in Philadelphia, white people spooked by Black patrons call the law to have them removed.
This stuff has been getting out of hand for sometime.
This continues as long as we keep Donald J. Trump and Republicans in control of government.
Enough is enough.
YOUR BLACK PASTOR'S ARE THE PROBLEM
