‘I Wasn’t Myself at the Time’: D.C. Man High On Drugs Defends Brutal Attack That Left Black Man With 21 Stitches; Sentenced to Jail Time - Atlanta Black Star
A white bicyclist was sentenced to three years in prison Tuesday in the wake of an incident in which he repeatedly called a Black driver the N-word and violently beat him with a bike lock in Washington, D.C.

Maxim Smith, 25, was convicted of assault with a dangerous weapon and assault with significant injury in June.

The attack left 35-year-old Ketchazo Paho needing 21 stitches.

Smith testified that it was then that he used the slur against Paho, a Cameroonian immigrant, and hit him in the head with the metal u-lock to get away, the Washington Post reported. Smith is a native of Ukraine who was adopted by an American couple as a teenager.

Smith was reportedly under the influence of alcohol and cocaine during the attack.

“I wasn’t myself at the time,” he told the court during his trial.
Yeah, you were.

White Mobs Lead Racialized Political Coup in North Carolina - Equal Justice Initiative, on this day
The only acknowledged coup d’etat in U.S. history occurred on November 10, 1898, when mobs of armed white supremacists descended on city hall in Wilmington, North Carolina, and forced both Black and white elected officials to resign. Two days earlier, Wilmington voters had elected a biracial city government, to the dismay of white groups known as “Red Shirts” who had tried to intimidate Black voters.

The insurrection was the apex of frustration among racist former Confederates in North Carolina who had lost governing power to an interracial political coalition in 1894. As they planned to forcibly regain power in the state, the former Confederates projected their commitment to white supremacy and trumpeted their conviction that white women were endangered by free Black men. The mob's takeover of the local government was the culmination of two days of post-election violence, in which armed white rioters destroyed Black businesses and killed dozens of Black residents. One business destroyed by the mob was a Black newspaper led by Alex Manly, whose writing openly denounced the lynching of Black men accused of having relationships with white women.
All because somebody tried to vote.

Black Texas Teen Tased By Students Dressed KKK, Members Lawyer Says.

https://www.kiiitv.com/article/news/loc ... 546f916a67.

WOODSBORO, Texas — Corpus Christi attorney Matt Manning is representing a young black man he says was assaulted by a group of high school aged boys dressed as Klansmen.

Manning said his client, a black teenager, was hit with a taser, or taser-like device, by a group of students dressed as members of the Ku Klux Klan on Oct. 31.

Manning, in a statement on Facebook, said he was "infuriated because I learned, from multiple sources, that another, even younger victim was terrorized by these depraved menaces that same night."

Manning held a press conference Wednesday morning to address what happened Halloween night.
Love of Country is not Blind Patriotism. It is not devotion to one person or one party. It is knowing fighting for your country is single most important thing you can do. Do not accept the notion violence is the answer.

Naw, I don't.

Say, I've picked out a signature for my profile, what do you think of it?

“It is bad psychology to tell people who do not believe that they are racist—who may even actively despise racism—that there is nothing they can do to stop themselves from being racist—and then ask them to help you. It is even less helpful to tell them that even their own good intentions are proof of their latent racism.

Worst of all is to set up double-binds, like telling them that if they notice race it is because they are racist, but if they don’t notice race it’s because their privilege affords them the luxury of not noticing race, which is racist.”

Sure, you do.

You're evidently happy buying into and spreading classic white-conservative paranoia.

By the way, Sam Lefthand, you claim to be a parent of a transitioning person, and yet are peddling Helen Pluckrose, who is a TERF-lite. Are you waving her around this morning because her writings suit your race-based grievances?

That reminds me, I need to make a new "Is this how conservative whites treat their own families" thread, because this is how conservatism enablers like Sam Lefthand treat their own transitioning offspring.

TERF anti-woke conservatism is a useful tool when it suits Sam Lefthand's racial politics in a discussion on the internet.

And yet, these same people are actively working on anti-woke social exclusion of Sam Lefthand's own kid. It's very fitting with the thread topic of how white conservatism is destroying this country.

Let's be clear: I'm talking about ALL THE TIME on this board. You never have a real rebuttal, just trolling bullshit. I DO remember when you could be a thoughtful, responsive and intelligent member of the board, even if we didn't always agree. But that was years ago. And that's really too bad.

Texas State Guard member, 18, faces federal arson charge in Halloween synagogue fire - NBC News
An 18-year-old Texas State Guard member accused of lighting a fire at an Austin synagogue on Halloween faces a federal arson charge, according to a newly unsealed criminal complaint affidavit.

The man, Franklin Barrett Sechriest, was arrested Wednesday and accused of lighting a fire near the doors of Congregation Beth Israel at 9 p.m. on Oct. 31, causing $25,000 in damage to the synagogue, according to the affidavit.
According to the affidavit, investigators also found stickers in the car, one of which said, “They hate your ancestors, they hate your culture, they hate your nation, they hate your religion … it’s okay to hate them back.” Authorities said another sticker displayed swastikas with the slogan: “Would you kill them all to see your rights? The price of freedom is paid in blood.”

Investigators also found a journal belonging to Sechriest in which he wrote “scout a target” on Oct. 28, three days before the fire, they said.

‘Reverberations of Racial Violence:’ new book takes a critical look at Texas border history - Texas Standard, podcast
The history of violence and racism against Latinos along the southern border includes attacks by Texas Rangers.

A new book, “Reverberations of Racial Violence: Critical Reflections on the History of the Border,” aims to keep the historical record alive. The book is a collection of essays exploring a history of systematic atrocities carried out against members of minority groups along the southern border.

Sonia Hernández, associate professor of history at Texas A&M University and John Morán González, professor of American and English literature at the University of Texas at Austin are editors of the book.

Hernández says it’s important to remember the history of state-sponsored violence perpetrated by officials, including Texas Rangers, even as the state has history museums celebrating them. González says that part of the healing process for communities affected by the historical violence is having that history taught in schools.

Another Spanish colonizer. Swell.

Kilgore, TX imposed segregation in 1910, and schools did not start desegregation until 1970, and were known as the first schools in Texas to formally organize against Brown v. Board of Ed. Kilgore also had one of Texas's first White Citizen's Councils.

Gonzaullas was an enforcer of Kilgore's segregation. Just like the rest of them.

Say, how many people of African descent do you suppose were even allowed in the Texas Rangers before like the 90s, given that the Rangers were the slave police and the segregation police?

These people aren't trolling or joking at this point. They're true believers, and sign-ups.

You can tell because of how they act when one stops laughing at their trolling and jokes.

Then, watch how quick the gloves come off.

This is why every day on Randi's chat I ask people if they have finally figured out yet that they are in DANGER and need to prepare accordingly, and nobody ever responds. People are in denial, they dont want to believe fellow Americans could do what we both know they will do if they can.

"Freedom" and "liberty" to these people means "freedom" and "liberty" to kill your own kids with guns and get away with it.
