There was one set-up by the NAACP, however the family has turned it down. They are actually pursuing charges as the woman followed their 5 year old while yelling slurs at him, and he is autistic. She claims he stole her diaper bag, however other witnesses have said this wasn't true, he began playing with toys that were out, and, apparently owned by her, which prompted her to do this. Following the kid, while doing this likely makes this harassment. In this particular case harassment of a 5 year old, special needs kid, and because of the slurs, a hate crime enhancer to the penalties. So she could actually be in serious legal trouble. The family said they would much rather pursue criminal charges. Also, the man who recorded, and outed, her was charged with some sort of sexual crime, i think, involving a minor. The case however was dropped in a manner that means that the case was so bad it wasn't even worth the time to consider it. So he didn't do it. He is also being harassed, and this may turn into a civil lawsuit based on things the lady said online that may cross into incitement.

However, there is an NAACP fundraiser they do support, that will go to legal costs, instead of their general income.

Around here the generally accepted rule is that toys lying around on the playground can be used by all kids. They just have to return them. Is this different in the US?

I have no idea honestly

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Thats probably universal (I think, I am not a child psychologist) due to the nature of how kids fail to understand the complexities of ownership and how fragile they are.

If someone is a racist ass racist it seems to be.

Good that they're losing the shame and outing themselves. It'll make things way easier when the Nuremberg part comes. Just like in the 1930's onwards.

Yes, don't just be a covert racist - say it openly and proudly to the world. That way we know who you are, and any retard defending you and making up excuses will have a harder time with it.

Stop the authoritarian shit, sending gang bangers with badges to enforce your fragile morality. Vocal racists are great because you can punch them in the mouth. That's how we learn. This "if everybody did this or was this way" shit is naive and authoritarian.

Do you honestly believe the United States would ever hold Nuremberg style trials? I think we've been too far gone for a long time, I just hope I can flee the country in the next 5 years.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah it'd never happen in our political system. Theres too few people with clean hands to even run such a things, and none of them are in any power or ever will have any.

Nazi Germany didn't hold the Nuremberg trials. The trials were held by the victors.

Granted, that means the US has to lose a war to the point of the entire nation being occupied by the victors...
