A facebook post made by a former colleague caught my attention today.
It was basically asking me to support a cause based on the linked article (which was also run in the LA times but I'm not a subscriber).
I dont just sympathize with anyone targeted by this old bags comments and series of racist rants over the years I abhor and loathe the very idea that she feels that it's her right to harass anyone getting in her way. The targets of the harassment have made numerous posts and complaints to the police and a part of their complaint is wrong (at least sujectively) but repeated in their videos, social media posts and in the newspaper articles.
Racism is a blight amongst us but it isn't solely owned by only one segment. Even though in this article it is reinforced that only one segment is.
Now I KNOW that the thinking people here will recognize what I'm trying to point out and that others will either say soooooo it's not right no matter who says it. But I'm asking you to think about what someone is reinforcing as opposed to pointing out the obvious which is not even mentioned.
My only real complaint here is with the press and their selective use of labeling when it suits them as opposed to saying what needs to be said "Lena is a miserable old racist bitch."
