CNN is advertising a show at 10 p.m. tonight. Don Lemon is hosting and another black guy is shown in the ad. The show is called "The Color of Covid".

Global pandemic, but apparently either only black people are being affected or they're the only ones we're supposed to care about.

Bachelorette on IG sings a song that has the N word and says it. So, of course, she's in trouble.

If the word is so bad and you don't want other races saying it, then here's an idea: STOP PUTTING IT IN MUSIC, BOOKS, MOVIES, ETC. THAT YOU THEN SELL TO OTHER RACES!!!

Police breaking up a party of 3,000 is racist.
Participants who spoke to local media said law enforcement's response to the gathering in the city of Deland was an instance of racial bias and disproportionate policing of black communities.
Well let's look into that:
The block party advertised on social media last week started on Saturday afternoon and while police say daytime festivities were relatively uneventful, "things started getting out of hand as day turned to night
In aerial footage released by VCSO, large crowds of mostly black people are seen gathered on neighborhood streets and greenspaces. Officers are heard talking over the video, strategizing how they can best manage and "break-up" the large crowds gathered in DeLand.
"I think they're running it until 10, so, just so we don't have a big problem, let's let them run it until 10 as long as they behave," one officer is heard saying over the video.
Neither the city of DeLand, nor the county of Volusia, had issued a permit for the block party as it started on private property
Around 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, a passenger in a vehicle pointed a rifle or shotgun out of an open window, in the direction of a deputy and pedestrians gathered at a gas station
police say deputies walking through the block party witnessed a firearm exchange between two men.
VCSO says that two deputies were hit with a cup of alcohol and while the person who threw it was being taken into custody, one of the deputies was sucker punched by another male subject who immediately fled the area.
Additionally, another deputy and a DeLand police officer were hit with a bar stool and mason jar by other members of the crowd who immediately also fled,
Crowds gathered in the neighborhood continued to throw glass bottles at patrol vehicles in the street while arrests were being made
a DeLand police officer had a minor head injury when he was hit with the jar
While we may be reopening different parts of the city, county and state, no one should be having any large gatherings until the governor says it's safe to do so,
When asked why the police didn't "put the kibosh" on the party from the beginning when they first learned about it the preceding Wednesday, Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said, "Look at anywhere else in the state of Florida, these events are occurring, so, you're not going to put the kibosh on it because another one is going to pop up somewhere else."
Zero shootings. Cops injured. No party goers reportedly injured. Just a couple of arrests. = Racism?
"Why do they try to take our humanity? Our pride? It's not fair to us -- we're all human," one unnamed woman is quoted as saying.
Seriously! Just let black people do whatever they want! Illegal or not!

Volkswagen ad.

Racism has been declared a public health crisis in Franklin County, OH.

Again, it must suck to be so oppressed that you have a built in excuse for every negative thing in your life.

I'm assuming it's more racism against Jews.

Woman calls cops because black man tells her to leash her dog.

She says "I will call the cops and tell them a black man is threatening my life" while being recorded on video.

Saw that video. WTF was she thinking? I get that she was probably upset about someone being "Big Brother" to her, but to threaten them with the police and then actually call them?

Amy Cooper is going to need to change her name and move out of New York.

Half black rapper has to apologize for racist song and hanging with right wing extremists.

The story adds a little context where the man said "You won't like what I do next"... apparently referencing to feeding her dog, since he says dog owners hate that. (He carries treats for this). I could see how she could have thought that was more threatening than he intended, but still...

Jimmy Fallon wore blackface on SNL in 2000, and the cancel culture is trying to end him.

I've always hated Fallon, but fuck our society. What's the difference between these SJWs and a mob with pitchforks? What's the difference between SJWs and the KKK? Sure, their platforms might be different, but their methods aren't as different as they think, and both are rooted in ignorance and bigotry.

Amy Cooper has been fired.

She's lost her dog, job, probably friends, and everything else. I'm sure she loves black people now and will go spread the word!

Jimmy Fallon apologizes. He makes NBC money, so he'll probably get a pass.

Minnesota cops kill black man.
Four Minneapolis officers involved in the arrest of a black man who died in police custody were fired Tuesday, hours after a bystander’s video showed an officer kneeling on the handcuffed man’s neck, even after he pleaded that he could not breathe and stopped moving.

Mayor Jacob Frey announced the firings on Twitter, saying “This is the right call.”

The man’s death Monday night was under investigation by the FBI and state law enforcement authorities. It immediately drew comparisons to the case of Eric Garner, an unarmed black man who died in 2014 in New York after he was placed in a chokehold by police and pleaded for his life, saying he could not breathe.

In a post on his Facebook page, Frey apologized Tuesday to the black community for the officer’s treatment of the man, who was later identified as 46-year-old George Floyd, who worked security at a restaurant.

“Being Black in America should not be a death sentence. For five minutes, we watched a white officer press his knee into a Black man’s neck. Five minutes. When you hear someone calling for help, you’re supposed to help. This officer failed in the most basic, human sense,” Frey posted.

Police said the man matched the description of a suspect in a forgery case at a grocery store, and that he resisted arrest.

The video starts with the shirtless man on the ground, and does not show what happened in the moments prior. The unidentified officer is kneeling on his neck, ignoring his pleas. “Please, please, please, I can’t breathe. Please, man,” said Floyd, who has his face against the pavement.

Floyd also moans. One of the officers tells him to “relax.” The man calls for his mother and says: “My stomach hurts, my neck hurts, everything hurts ... I can’t breathe.” As bystanders shout their concern, one officer says, “He’s talking, so he’s breathing.”

But Floyd stops talking and slowly becomes motionless under the officer’s restraint. The officer does not remove his knee until the man is loaded onto a gurney by paramedics.

HA! I thought the same thing.

They claim he was resisting, but I haven't seen any video of that. NBC had video this morning from a business that showed some of the confrontation, but they had clearly edited it as it only showed when the guy was already in cuffs. They showed the cops walking him around and both the cops and him seemed completely fine. All in a good mood even. This was prior to him ending up next to a car on the ground.

What happened between that video and the video we're being shown of the cop kneeling on his neck? How do we have video of the before and after, but not of whatever took place in the middle? Very strange. I should note, that's not a defense of the cops, I just find it really weird.

That being said, the cop who put his knee on his neck is a sadistic fuck or was acting out of extreme anger. He's going to end up getting a murder or manslaughter charge, and he deserves it. There was no reason for that. I understand controlling someone with your body weight, but nobody is taught to do so at a handcuffed person's neck. If he was out of control, they could have restrained his ankles as well and linked both sets of cuffs. That is a perfectly legal way to keep someone from running or fighting when warranted. (Typically used with out of control drunks/druggies.)

It should be noted that one of the cops was Asian and another was black.

More video here. Still don't see the moment where the knee ends up on his neck, but he falls to the ground, and then the camera is blocked, which feels like right before the moment of the neck.
...police say they were responding to a call for a possible forgery. We're told an employee at a nearby business says George had attempted to pay with a $10 bill they suspected was counterfeit and, as is company policy, had reported it to police.

I agree. He fell to the ground on his own and was having an episode of some sort. The cops thought he was on drugs. None of that explains why the one cop was kneeling on his throat.

That cop needs to face charges.

Not sure about the rest.

Also, 2 black cops, 1 Asian, and 1 white guy. And, of course, the white guy is the asshole.

The way he was walking, he didn't look 100%, but I didn't see anything that justified the knee to the neck.
