Nichols, who was Black, was arrested after officers stopped him for reckless driving, police said. There was a confrontation as officers approached the driver and the suspect ran before he was confronted again by pursuing officers who arrested him, authorities said.
“Afterward, the suspect complained of having a shortness of breath, at which time an ambulance was called” and Nichols was taken to a hospital in critical condition, police said.

Let's wait till we hear the details of the confrontation & what happened when he tried to run.

This smug-looking inmate stabbed an Asian student because she was ‘Chinese’ and it “would be one less person to blow up our country,"

Why would you pick on the Chinese for blowing up our country?

Local prosecutors told NPR that Davis has not been charged with a hate crime because Indiana is one of four states that lack a comprehensive law.

Dafuq? Maybe it's a good time to get on that...

Ben Crump applauded 'swift justice' in Tyre Nichols killing. Experts say the speed was 'unusual.'

So the good news is that charges were brought within 20 days. The flipside is:

Crump noted the discrepancy in how quickly charges were brought against the Black officers in this case, compared to the length of time that passed in other police killings involving white officers

Feels like there will never be a "good" example.

I watched the bodycam footage of the cop that perpetrated the most harm, I think - the cop that ran on the scene out of breath, pepper sprayed himself (it appears), staggers and wheezes for a bit, and then returns to the scrum after deploying a telescoping baton - the other cops scatter out of the way while still holding the victim, and the baton cop beats the shit out of him. Baton cop was the foremost killer, I think. I also think that the only role that race played was the possibility that these cops went further with their victim, because he was black. I don't see any race assortment of cops doing all of that to a white dude. Them's the facts - policing brutality and abuse of power is the problem, and it's even worse for minorities.

Not all racism is deadly.

Or subtle.

Racist video produced by Jerusalem high school girls faces backlash
https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/worl...-high-school-girls-faces-backlash/ar-AA19PtPx

The video, titled "If the School Was Mizrahi", opens by introducing the girls participating in the video. The girls walk through a door in a line wearing blackface. As each girl walks by, her name flashes across the screen with their surnames crossed out and replaced with names that are common for Mizrahi people (descendants of Middle Eastern and North African Jews).
While the Ashkenazi representations show calm, artistic and spiritual girls, the Mizrahi representations lean on stereotypes and are shown to be wild, loud and inappropriate.

Just to show racism knows no bounds. Religion, gender or age.

I have always said anyone can be Racist. Back when I was younger I got pushback from some minority acquaintance's that it was impossible for any minority to be racist because they were the only ones who could be Racists were the folks in charge. And only the folks in charge(in that case, white ones) were racist. I said bullsh*t which did not entice me to them.

I actually remember hearing that at a BLM presentation. I agree, a POC can be racist, and it's certainly noticeable when you go the the native countries.

If I had to give an inch, I could accept that systemic racism is only meaningfully practiced by "the folks in charge", because the power imbalance and scale does play into that.

I love it when racists put their stupidity on full display.
This guy also destroys the stereotype that the British accent makes people sound intelligent.

I used to hire cro-magnon hooligans from the north who flossed their teeth with a rope and cut their hair with a pencil sharpener. So White they made me look like an El Salvadorian who still lives in a tree.

Ever see Harry Brown? At least my family in West Texas doesn't require subtitles. Fucking twat kids; you can't understand a word they say.

The problem with these interviews is that they always pick the smartest, most articulate speaker who can put the group in the best light.

This guy was the cream of the crop of this respectable group. We need to hear from the rank-and-file Joe Schmo who isn't as eloquent with his thoughts.
