Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) face scrutiny for supporting Ben Carson's bid to be HUD Secretary.
Democrats are starting to wobble on resistance. Protesters want unrepentant obstruction against the fuhrer Donald J. Trump and the Republicans. The spineless Democrats want to take cautious steps to fight the fuhrer.
You done fuck up now!
Republicans refuse to respect Barack Obama during his eight years as president.
Now the very same Republicans want protesters to respect Trump as their leader. I don't think so!
I will not give in this asshole. I refuse to support Trump and Republicans. If the Democratic Party decides go soft on Trump, they will face the wrath of progressives.
The Huffington Post and many outlets are calling out Democrats for going wobbly on Trump.
Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) are in the crosshairs of progressives. They were being hammered for supporting Ben Carson, a completely inept, failed presidential candidate. Carson is a former neurosurgeon who is tapped to be the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
Brown and Warren are up for reelection. Trump carried Ohio and Brown is easily targeted as the most vulnerable Democrat running.
San Francisco Police Department is under fire for officers showing their bias towards suspects.
Crime is colorblind. The concern trolls often single out criminality with Black America. They often are supporters of the police. They believe that the police officers never lie. They believe that police officers can't do no wrong. Anytime #BlackLivesMatter complains about police brutality, unfair hiring of non-White candidates, the unfortunate police shootings of unarmed suspects, conservative say that the activists are "anti-cop" and "racist".
The most progressive city in the nation had to fire some lawmen out the cannon after it was revealed they shared some of the most racist, sexist, homophobic and Islamophobic emails to fellow lawmen.
The police chief ordered all the officers in the city to go retraining. Police Chief Gregory P. Suhr said he will make his officers wear the badge with dignity and respect.
This ongoing scandal of course was not mentioned much in the junk food media. But on social media it's picking up steam.
He better fix the problem or face a cannon firing. San Francisco police chief Gregory Suhr under fire. His officers are acting a fool while on duty.
The city of San Francisco is often considered the most livable cities in the world. It's diversity and openness has attracted many residents to the city. It's also the country's most friendliest towards those in the LGBT community. It's one of the most expensive cities in the nation and some residents are bolting from the Bay Area.
Maybe the split could be because of the lawmen in the city looking at the residents as a bunch of...
Pick your racial, homophobic, or religious intolerance.
Lawmen would share a laugh at the expense of those wrongly convicted or gunned down by law enforcement.
Jason Lai and Ian Furminger were indicted by the feds for allegations of corruption. They were involved in some of the vice patrols and sexual assault happened. Like the "NO SNITCHIN" theme, the "BLUE WALL OF SILENCE has often led to misconduct by law enforcement.
Most of San Francisco's police force is White.
White men make up 75% of the police force in most urban communities.
The San Francisco Police already under fire after incidents in which unarmed suspects were shot and no accountability was handed to those involved. Suhr promises that everything will be out in the open.
The racist emails and text messages will come to the light. It will give shame to the officers involved.
Their actions could spring the accused out of county lockup, the convicted out of the iron college and the distrust of police city and statewide.
This incident of racial agitation started all the way back in 2014.
Tangling with Bill Clinton. Protesters got him riled up.
In Philadelphia, 42 got riled up by protesters who are still pissed about the school to prison pipeline enacted by him. Bill Clinton was campaigning for his wife Hillary when he was interrupted by #BlackLivesMatter activists.
Clinton managed to pass Republican-sponsored legislation that enacted welfare reform and drug sentencing laws that could charge a person a high crime for possessing an ounce of marijuana.
Clinton's tough on crime laws led to the mass incarceration of people of color. Some of the activists are probably sons and daughters of those put in the iron college for LIFE.
Clinton let them have it.
One person held up a sign that read, “Hillary is a murderer,” while another yelled that she should be tried for “crimes against humanity.”
The protesters were referencing Clinton’s 1994 Violent Crime Control and Prevention Act, which is now widely accepted to have sparked a wave of mass incarceration, especially among people of color. Hillary Clinton has come under fire for her support of that legislation, as well as decades-old comments regarding a now-debunked myth about child “super-predators” who were supposedly responsible for crime. She’s since apologized for those words.
“I had an assault weapons ban in [my version of the bill],” the former president said Thursday in defense of the 1994 legislation. “I had money for inner-city kids, for out of school activities, we had 110,000 police officers so we could put people on the street, not in these military vehicles, and the police would look like the people they were policing.”
Despite those efforts, Clinton said he was told that Republicans wouldn’t pass the legislation without more sentencing provisions.
“I talked to a lot of African-American groups — they thought black lives mattered,” continued Clinton. “They said, ‘Take this bill, because our kids are being shot in the street by gangs. We have 13-year-old kids planning their own funerals.’”
Clinton went on to say that gun violence and crime ultimately went down as a result of the crime bill. The legislation passed with harsh sentencing requirements like three strikes laws, which put many people — including low-level offenders — in jail for long periods of time. While crime did indeed decrease after the bill’s passage, experts are divided on what role it may have played, if any. Clinton has conceded in the past that certain provisions contributed to mass incarceration.
Later in the exchange, Clinton appeared to respond to criticism of his wife on the “super-predator” myth.
“I don’t know how you would describe the gang leaders who got 13-year-olds hopped up on crack and sent them out in the streets to murder other African-American children,” he said. “Maybe you thought they were good citizens, [Hillary] didn’t. ...You are defending the people who kill the lives you say matter.”
While the crowd appeared to vocally support Clinton’s exchange with protesters, at times chanting “HRC” to drown out their shouting, critics online saw Clinton’s remarks as a woefully inarticulate moment for the former president. Many were quick to argue that Clinton had dismissed the protesters’ concerns, and in turn defended the tough-on-crime rhetoric of the era and the merits of his approach to criminal justice.
Clinton then went on to defend his welfare reform proposals, arguing that he left the program in good shape, only to have a wave of Republican leadership at the state levels come into power and undo the work he’d accomplished.
After spending nearly 10 minutes rebutting protesters, Clinton suggested that critics not dwell so much on the past — and not blame Hillary Clinton for things that she wasn't involved in.
“All I know is this electio'ns about the future,” he said. “They’re trying to blame her for something she didn't do.”
Both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have called for the end harsh penalties for minor drug charges. The Republican candidates are mixed on it.
John Kasich and Ted Cruz have turned somewhat Libertarian on it. They may eventually support the decriminalizing of an ounce marijuana.
Again, the Academy Awards is facing harsh scrutiny over nominating only White actors, directors and producers over the Black and Hispanic talent.
None of the 20 main spots were given to any actors of color. Especially the Black ones.
The Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is about to be boycotted.
Straight Outta Compton, Creed, Concussion, Beasts of No Nation and The Hateful Eight were snubbed.
Me and S. Baldwin see this as a disgrace of talent and deliberate attempts to undermine the great feats of Black, Hispanic and Asian actors and actresses.
If this is supposed to be LIBERAL HOLLYWOOD, wondering who's in charge of the nominating committee?
There are four acting categories with 20 slots each. Not one of those categories have a Black actor or director nominated for the award.
Will the #BlackLivesMatter activists try to convince Chris Rock bow out of hosting duties?
Will Chris Rock address the controversy?
Does The Academy Awards Nominations Deliberately Shut Out Black Entertainers?
Celebrity agitator and socialite Martin Shkreil got a NO KNOCK raid. He was busted by the feds for securities fraud.
I didn't give too much attention to this controversy. But this manchild named Martin Shkreil pissed off a lot of people. The former hedge fund operator and entrepreneur got into the pharmaceutical business. He wanted to make some $$$$$$ off the backs of the sick and needy.
Many people who were getting the HIV cocktail were pissed this jackass raised the rates up 5500%.
The treatment is called Daraprim. Daraprim is a medication used for protozoal infections. It is commonly used as an antimalarial drug (for both treatment and prevention of malaria), and to treat Toxoplasma gondii infections, particularly when combined with the sulfonamide antibiotic sulfadiazine when treating HIV-positive individuals.
He was shamed by the junk food media and scorned by social media for that. Matter of fact, he was dissed on the dating websites for raising prescription drug prices.
I guess he got fed up.
The feds busted him today. He was arrested in a NO KNOCK at 6am by the U.S. Marshals, the U.S. Postal Inspectors and FBI. He was busted on securities fraud. That a serious federal charge. That alone could carry up to 25 years in federal time out.
The 32-year old millionaire was a huge supporter of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. Sanders found out about this jackass and he vowed to never associate with "losers" who hurt the middle class.
U.S. prosecutors said that he was running a Ponzi-scheme at his former hedge fund and the pharmaceutical company he ran.
Shkreli engaged in multiple schemes to ensnare investors through a web of lies and deceit.
Many in social media say that this asshole got a dose of #KARMA The hashtag was splashed around the social media and people can't help but watch this clown take a nosedive.
This guy was living like a "Boy Prince". He would actually purchase the rare final album of the Wu-Tang Clan. The album Once Upon a Time in Shaolin is so top secret, no one but the group (and owner of the album) knows the tracklisting. This clown purchased the rare album for $2 million. The album contents will were sealed until 2104.
Shkreli purchased the album. When the group found out that he bought the album they donated the money to charity.
So will the junk food media label this guy a thug like they've done to Michael Brown or Trayvon Martin?
Chicago mayor Rahm Emmanuel fires his top cop out the cannon.
Looks like it's curtains for the police commissioner Gerry McCarthy. The Chicago police's top cop was fired out the cannon for inept management.
Chicago has experienced a rise in gun violence, gang violence and possible police corruption within the department.
All the recipes for embattled mayor Rahm Emmanuel to light the cannon and send McCarthy right out of the tent.
The Laquan McDonald shooting proved to be the boiling point for residents fed up with police corruption, the constant gun violence and gang violence plaguing the third largest city in the U.S.
McCarthy was hired by Emanuel to take over the Chicago Police Department shortly after Emanuel's election in early 2011. McCarthy was the City of Chicago's highest paid public employee, earning an annual salary of over $260,000.
The number of crimes and murders in Chicago declined under his tenure (with murders declining from 525 in 2011 to 505 in 2012 to 415 in 2013).
In an investigative article by Chicago Magazine reporters David Bernstein and Noah Isackson, it was asserted that the decline was in part due to the unjustified re-categorization of murders as undetermined and then if it is later determined to be a murder, tallying the total to the prior years' statistics.
McCarthy responded that the article is “patently false” and criticized its reliance on anonymous sources.
A 2012 audit by the Chicago Inspector General determined that the Chicago Police Department had under-counted aggravated assault and aggravated battery victims by 25 percent by not following state guidelines by counting each incident rather than each victim.
McCarthy attributed the error to the administration of the prior police superintendent, Jody Weis.
Anita Alverez is facing some major heat as well. After the release of the video of now disgraced cop Jason Van Dyke putting 16 rounds in the fleeing Laquan, people are saying it's political corruption.
Alverez denies that she held back the video to help Emmanuel's chances at winning the election.
Calls for her removal from the Cook County prosecutor are growing as well.
Even Jesse Jackson is turning his back on the Chicago mayor. He is calling for Emmanuel to resign.
The shooting happened in October 2014. That was about the time Rahm Emmanuel was facing a tough reelection bid. Emmanuel was reelected in April 2015. The video release happened 13 months since the shooting and seven months into his second term.
The federal and state courts ruled that the video must be shown and it was being held back in fear of political backlash. The family of Laquan was paid off earlier this year. The family was awarded $6.4 million in damages.
Bernie got mic checked by Black Lives Matter activists.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is running in the clown car for the Democratic nomination. He is the only candidate so far to be at least in competition with front runner, perennial candidate Hillary Clinton.
The Democratic contender is making rounds in the Pacific Northwest. His stop in a friendly territory was interrupted by two activists with the Black Lives Matters movement.
Again the activists crash his campaign stop with chants of "You're not listening" and "You got to learn why Black Lives Matter".
Sanders pulls over 15,000 supporters to his event in Seattle. His supporters were very happy to see him. Two supporters were happy to see him as well. Those two supporters were so happy they jump the stage and stole the show. And it managed to capture the attention of the junk food media.
"If you do not listen to us, your event will be shut down," says the activists now identified Mara Willaford and Marissa Johnson.
She decried that even though Seattle is progressive, it still anchors White supremacist views masquerading as liberalism.
"I was going to tell Bernie how racist [Seattle] is, filled with its progressives, but did it for me", says Willaford. She was concerned about the law's brutal practices on citizens. The U.S. Justice Department is currently looking into the Seattle police.
So after the activists asked the protesters to give a few minutes of silence for slain Michael Brown and Christian Taylor, some booed it.
Sanders decided to wrap it up. He figured that he couldn't get much out knowing that the activists were determined to "shut it down".
"I think it is unfortunate because among other things I wanted to talk about the issues of black lives," Sanders said following the interrupted rally.
"They didn't want to hear anything," the senator told CNN's Dan Merica. Sanders went on to express his disappointment of not being able to speak at an event he was invited to.
Here's the videos of the confrontation. Sanders was talking about the Black Lives Matter issue back in June. He was extremely focused on that during his campaign stop.
Sanders will head to Portland today and then for California. He will head to Lynchburg to speak at the ultra conservative Liberty University this week.
Sanders would greet his supporters and tell the junk food media, that he sympathizes with them. They have a right to address their issues.
Last month, Black Lives Matter activists crashed the Netroots Convention. Sanders and Martin O'Malley were interrupted by the activists in Phoenix.
Sanders and Clinton get a fraction of coverage. Unfortunately, Donald Trump, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Carly Fiornia, John Kasich, Ben Carson, Scott Walker Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Chris Christie get most of the airtime. The junk food media is so invested in the Republican clown car.
The rest of them Martin O'Malley, Lincoln Chafee and Jim Webb are not even getting an ounce of junk food media attention. Even the biggest gathering of progressive activists at Netroots gets no media coverage. When the conservatives gathered for CPAC, the junk food media went right to it and gave it wall to wall coverage.
By the way, the Black Lives Matters activists proved a point. The reaction on social media to them crashing Bernie Sanders's political event was met with harsh criticism. White liberals concern trolls say that Black Lives Matter is "played out".
I don't know. Should we inform the folks over at the Tumblr blog Racist Get Fired?
Got a long way to go. Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) got caught on camera making a racially insensitive remark about Native Americans in front of Indian-American supporters.
It's a long way to next year's primaries and it already seems like its a wash for a congresswoman.
The Democratic congresswoman from California is under fire after she was caught on camera making an offensive remark towards Native Americans and thus pissed off Indian-Americans.
She is also running for the Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA).
Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) along with California's Secretary of State Kamala Harris have openly declared their intentions on running for the Democratic nomination.
Whomever wins this event will face the Republican nominee.
So far I call it "LIKELY DEMOCRAT" for the time being. California is a stronghold for Democrats.
But if you're a candidate running for higher office, you know that the cameras from your opponents and the junk food media will follow your every move.
Sanchez, a Latina should have known better.
Swearing in for Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) (right) and her sister Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) (on the left).
Sanchez made a racist gesture mocking Indian-Americans by making a "war cry" that is stereotypically attributed to them. She talked about how she was confused about what to expect in an upcoming meeting with an Indian-American, saying this:
I am going to his office, thinking that I am going to meet with a 'woo woo woo woo' (stereotypical Indian war cry) — Right? ... because he said Indian American.
That shocked the audience and word got to the Democratic National Committee. The Democratic chairwoman, Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) was pissed. Matter of fact, it may hurt Sanchez in fundraising during her primary battle against Harris.
After a dodging a few cameras, Sanchez eventually apologized for her comments.
Sanchez represents Santa Ana towards Anaheim. Her district is considered moderate at best. She is a conservative Democrat and a long time fixture in California. She and her sister Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) have both represented California for years.
Sanchez made slip ups before, but this one managed to catch the junk food media and conservative agitator's attention.
Ben Affleck reportedly wanted PBS to scrub his ancestor's ugly past.
As Warner Brothers release the trailer for the new Batman and Superman movie, many people are criticizing the picking of actor Ben Affleck as Batman.
Affleck was then Marvel's Daredevil and the movie was a colossal flop.
Now he emerges as Batman. Some claim the Dark Knight could damaged by Affleck.
He and then girlfriend Jennifer Lopez done the worst movie ever to exist. It's called Gigli
Now he's trying to bury his ancestors in the dirt, literally.
On the PBS program, Find Your Roots, hosted by Henry "Skip" Gates, there was a segment "Roots of Freedom," which discusses his Freedom Rider mother, a Revolutionary War ancestor and his third great-grandfather. But according to a hacked Sony email posted by WikiLeaks on Thursday, Affleck reportedly asked PBS to edit out information about an ancestor who owned slaves.
In the email, "Finding Your Roots" host Henry Louis Gates Jr. emailed Sony Entertainment CEO Michael Lynton for advice regarding the request, the New York Daily News reported. In the email dated July 22, 2014, Gates wrote, "For the first time, one of our guests has asked us to edit out something about one of his ancestors -- the fact that he owned slaves."
The Huffington Post reports Lynton replied, telling Gates to take it out if no one knew the material was already in the documentary. "I would take it out if no one knows," Lynton wrote, "but if it gets out that you are editing the material based on this kind of sensitivity then it gets tricky. Again, all things being equal I would definitely take it out."
Gates responded saying that removing the information would be "a violation of PBS rules, actually, even for Batman." The host later added that Affleck's ancestor "wasn't even a bad guy," noting that four or five of the other guests from the show that season, including Anderson Cooper, were descendants of slave owners.
Both Gates and PBS released statements on the network's website Friday regarding the hacked emails and the episode.
"Ultimately, I maintain editorial control on all of my projects and, with my producers, decide what will make for the most compelling program," Gates said. "In the case of Mr. Affleck -- we focused on what we felt were the most interesting aspects of his ancestry." The network expressed its support for Gates and his producers' "independent editorial judgment to choose the most compelling narrative."
In a statement to The Huffington Post, a representative for Sony criticized WikiLeaks for the “indexing of stolen employee and other private and privileged information.”
“We vehemently disagree with WikiLeaks’ assertion that this material belongs in the public domain and will continue to fight for the safety, security, and privacy of our company and its more than 6,000 employees," the statement read.
The conservative publication went through its gloating.
As the president and the Democratic Party sort through their failures, Republicans are celebrating the largest turnout to ever happen. They managed not only to retake the U.S. Senate but gained extra seats in the U.S. House. This gives them largest majority since the days of Truman.
They are hoping that they can turn out the WHITE, CONSERVATIVE, MALE and OVER 65 YEAR OLD crowd again in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election.
The conservative agitators are gloating and running around with their "WE WON" nonsense.
The racist right rag The New York Post saved the best for the president.
Again, elections have consequences. The Democratic candidates could muster a stronger message.
The Republicans have a big microphone. The junk food media (i.e. Laura Ingraham, that annoying ass conservative agitator, The New York Post, The Wall Street Journal, Sinclair Broadcasting, and his network Loserville) were instrumental to getting that BASE out.
I had to tune out liberal agitator Stephanie Miller. She and her crew were trying to make the best of that disastrous night by poking fun at Joni Ernst, the U.S. Senator elect from Iowa. The liberal agitator was calling her a "clown" and mocking her for winning.
I said that Ernst is going to extremely controversial. Nothing else. I won't resort to saying anything other than she's an insurgent backed candidate who won. We'll see if she'll work to help Iowa or show off on friendly networks such as Loserville.
Insurgent is another word for TEA PARTY. The movement purged the moderate and more mainstream Republicans from power. That's why it's called an insurgency.
New Jersey governor is bombastic. He never shies away from letting them have it.
October 29th 2012 was the arrival of Hurricane Sandy. The super storm hit the New Jersey shoreline and devastated thousands. It killed nearly 200 people and cost nearly a trillion dollars of damage.
Republican governor Chris Christie called upon the federal government to help his state. President Barack Obama came to New Jersey and was embraced by Christie. The insurgency was totally pissed off over that. They've kicked him out of the insurgency and think of him as a traitor.
Hurricane Sandy happened two weeks before the presidential election. Perennial loser Mitt Romney was pissed that Christie allow Obama to come to his aid. He was hoping that Christie would dismiss the president.
Two years later, Christie comes back to the New Jersey shoreline to see the progress and mark commemoration.
A man began heckling Christie about the pace of storm recovery and interrupted the governor’s speech Wednesday in Belmar on several occasions.
“You all know me, so if we’re going to get into a debate here today, it’s going to get very interesting and very fun,” he told a protester holding a sign.
Liberal heckler made Christie lose it/
After trying to brush the man off, Christie yelled back the man didn't know what he was talking about and was just showing off for the news cameras.
“I’d be more than happy to have a debate with you any time you’d like, guy, because somebody like you doesn't know a damn thing about what you’re talking about except to stand up and show off when the cameras are here. I've been here when the cameras aren't here, buddy, and done the work,” Christie said.
When heckler Jim Keady continued, Christie told him: “Sit down and shut up.”
Keady, a former Asbury Park councilman, founded a group called Finish The Job, which is critical of the pace of rebuilding assistance in New Jersey.
He told WCBS 880’s Alex Silverman when Christie said those five words to him, it hurt.
“I stopped work for a month. I volunteered in Belmar, the town I grew up in, every day,” Keady told WCBS 880. “You begged the citizens to give you that job; you owe them to answer questions even when it’s uncomfortable and inconvenient.”
Belleville councilwoman honors Black resident. It was revealed that she went into a racist tirade about her opponent, the mayor. The mayor is on the left. The racist right is whining about the political affiliation again.
The racist right is working into overdrive over a local New Jersey councilwoman saying some racial shit in a recorded tirade. They are saying once again (even after the Donald Sterling event) that the woman who is running for mayor in a small town is a Democrat.
NJ.com reports a Michigan forensics lab has confirmed with "85 percent" certainty that the voice heard on a phone message using a racial slur is that of Belleville councilwoman and mayoral candidate Marie Strumolo Burke.
In the recording, which was posted to YouTube and has been the subject of local discussion for weeks, a woman’s voice that is allegedly Burke’s can be heard yelling in the background of a voicemail left on Councilman Kevin Kennedy’s answering machine.
"This is terrible. This is terrible. This is gonna be a (expletive) (N-word) town," the woman says near the end of the 90-second message.
The former head of the town’s planning board was discussing proposed changes to the town’s tax rates before Burke’s alleged comments on the recording, said Mayor Raymond Kimble, who is running against Burke in the June mayoral election. Kimble said he will call for her resignation.
Burke, a longtime Belleville resident and councilwoman, has repeatedly denied the allegations. In an email to The Star-Ledger, she accused Kimble of engaging in dirty campaign tactics.
"I am outraged and I am ‘100% certain’ that Kimble’s fingerprints are all over this report. We don’t need to pay thousands of dollars to a laboratory to prove that these false accusations lead right back to Kimble," she wrote.
Kimble said he received the tape in October but did not know when the phone call was placed.
The answering machine was turned over to Primeau Forensics Lab in Michigan last week, said Edward Primeau, the lab’s director. He said he was "85 percent" sure the voice on the tape was Burke’s after comparing the recording to public comments she made at recent town council meetings.
Primeau said Burke’s accents and manner of speaking at council meetings was identical to those of the voice on the recording.
"It’s her. It’s the same person," he said. "Her speaking style, her pacing. The delivery of all the words spoken in both samples are identical."
Primeau said he could only rule the voices were "100 percent" identical if Burke were to read the statements made on the phone call aloud, so he could compare them.
"It’s sad to hear that, in the 21st century, in our state, that we have elected officials who have that type of attitude," said Thomas Puryear, president of the Maplewood-Orange chapter of the NAACP, which represents 11 municipalities. "It lets us know that racism is alive, and unfortunately doing very well, in our state and in our nation."
Kimble made the lab’s findings public today, calling Burke’s alleged comments "disturbing." The $1,320 bill for the analysis was paid for by a group of "concerned citizens" led by Thomas Grolimond, according to Primeau.
Grolimond, a member of the town’s Department of Public Works who was hired while Kimble was mayor, said he "helps out" with Kimble’s campaign but is not employed by the mayor.
He also claimed the analysis was not funded or ordered by the Kimble.
Kimble said the pending election had nothing to do with his decision to speak out, and denied any involvement with Grolimond’s actions.
I can't let this one pass! My take: This guy is absolutely racist and bigoted, yet he had a Black girlfriend. Racist white men want to have their cake and eat it too. They also insist Black women to assimilate to their white male supremacist culture. That won't work because some Black women aren't giving up Blackness and Black culture. At the same time, those men denigrate Black men and women, telling them that they're "inferior" and have no rights bound to respect. I wish some of my Black sisters in the "BWE" movment talk about this one. How can one be with a man that is a racist and have one's sanity intact?
That's white male privilege at work. Entitled to have women of all races and be racist and hateful at the same time. That proves Kristen Maye's and many other Black womens' viewpoint about racism in interracial relationships. That painful history of Whites and Blacks along with Whites not giving up their "White Privilege" status and contemporary racism.
