It’s far less magical out here. They like their racism dumbed down and simple. I don’t think they’d even bother with fantastic justifications or pretenses of protecting white kids and keeping out gangs. They probably wouldn’t call the cops on them, except if they know the cops (very likely) and want them to come participate.

Right?!

"They followed departmental policy."

Then why does departmental policy allow for that?

The real story is that apparently black people are being allowed to own property now. Who knew?

Recall when Skip Gates got arrested walking into his own home in Cambridge MA and then newly elected President Obama invited Gates and the cop to the White House for a sit down meeting and a Reconciliation Brew? The fact that a black man was sending out invitations that a white cop had to treat as an order sent the whitewingnutz into a frenzy they never finished. That's when shit hit the fan. It was all downhill for the Obama administration after that.

That was back when people like Obama and other well of libbies just would not believe that the GOP was the Klan.

I think times have changed. Some.

Lol! I'm really glad that you are around to help me remember these things. You are referring to the schedule on the excel spreadsheet stored in Clinton's email server?

I hear the the DNC IT department has done wonderful things lately. You used to have to go to the basement of Comet Pizza to see the schedule, but now you can access the file via just about any Chinese thermostat.

I'm fairly sure there were times when the Obama believed the GOP were the Klan. The latter certainly BEHAVED like it.

It's just that highly publicly visible Black people can't actually CALL the Klang the Klan when they're behaving like the Klang, because those highly visible Black people then run the risk of getting lynched as a result.

Maybe he just didn't tell YOU about it.

The risks of speaking your mind escalate exponentially when you're a POC in public life. To assume anything else is just another form of careless, casual racism.

Eh, I'm gonna call a NO on your Obama mind reading and just go with his actions from 2007 until about 2018. But thanks for the opinion!

For some of us it's obviously not just history; it's also current events

Because the Nazis got their ideas from Jim Crow.

And they straight up said so.

It's a little frustrating how often people keep ignoring that.

It was transferred to Hunter's laptop AGES ago. Hillary is easing up on her world-domination schedule to spend more time running her worldwide assassination ring.
