“He stated that he was a racist and he did like black people but did not like n——-s,”

In 2015, Turner was found of violating that law when he, upset with his black neighbors, hung an effigy of a black man from a tree on his front lawn—in clear view of the street.

Well I think it’s a little more complicated then that. Within the construct of many African nations there is an underlying conflict with tribal warfare, also gluttony (via financial) from western countries depleting their own rightful ownership of natural resources ( even China is getting a taste). Even slavery is…

“White people invented the drive-by”—my grandmother

And what I don’t understand is, why do African countries not take all that money they are giving to other nations in tutition, housing, etc., to educate African students, and build their own colleges and universities in Africa.

Yeah I don’t really understand the love some Black people or African people have this rose colored ideology of Europe. I mean it’s nice very pretty but then this happens and it’s back to reality

I’m a big fan of Sweden, it’s a beautiful country, for sure. My brother lives in Stockholm so I go there at least once a year. But...yeah... have to agree with everything you said. I used to think it’s some sort of multicultural paradise over there. Than little by little you realize that nah, not really, they are…

I’m a masculine of center soft butch lesbian who fucks with femmes. I’m also monogamous for 18 years.

Yeah, like living in a fantasy world will save them.

I’m first generation and unfortunately you are right about that. So much so that I personally know some who voted for 45. There are those that believe if they don’t ascribe to that sort of thinking, as that child’s mother said, then racism won’t touch them.

In my experience, African immigrant adults who move to Europe/US in the later years of their life have a lot of trouble understanding racism. She’s probably never been called a monkey. I’m sure her son will understand before too long though. Because also in my experience, 2nd generation African immigrants stop calling…

Not buying that apology for a second. You don’t go to print and drop a million dollars on a print run without double checking. and the fact that they picked monkey for him and only him? Not an accident.

All marginalized groups need to use whatever is at their immediate disposal to boost their self-worth. If American blacks need royalty where we are usually associated with criminality that’s fine by me. No one here referring to this child as king are doing so to make all other children feel inferior.

And bringing up black women issues is considered tearing down and divisive.

I’ve given up on Jezebel completely. The commenters there are only concerned with equality and equity as long as it’s strictly for White women.

Yes, I have, and while Black. White people are white-peopling all over the world. It’s not like the racist Europeans came to the U.S. and everyone else stayed in Europe. Racism and anti-Blackness are everywhere.

All these European countries that look alike and are exactly the same are racists!

WTF.

I’ve been thinking on this subject as well, and I concur that these are not “honest mistakes” made by folks who “don’t see color.” In my opinion, these are litmus tests. They constantly confirm just how much can be gotten away with as white supremacists try to push the envelope back to Jim Crow. The blatant racism of…

As the Huffington Post notes, some chalked up the offensive image to carelessness, cluelessness, and a lack of diversity in decision-making positions.
