Topic | Interracial Family in Tennessee terrorized by neighborhood. |
BombermanGold 12/18/22 5:14:19 PM #12 | lennethsoki posted... Why do people keep saying this? Groups of people have been polled about whether racism is still an issue, and most of said respondents (who identify as white) do legit say it's not a problem. Then you got US Supreme Court justices saying similar nonsense (part of the reasoning why the Voting Rights act got gutted the way it did). If it's not super overt as hell "KKK burning crosses on lawns" racism, then for most people going about their day, it "doesn't exist." But then you get stories like what I posted and slew of others that need to make bigger headlines that happen, with a shocking regularity, too. --- "I will be your superhero!!!"

Topic | Interracial Family in Tennessee terrorized by neighborhood. |
BombermanGold 12/18/22 3:52:21 PM #1 | Best I could do for a topic title in concern with this CNN article I came across this morning. Sundown towns still a thing I see.... https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/18/us/tennessee-interracial-family-fire-hate-crime-reaj/index.html A year after his Tennessee home was burned down and a racial slur was spray-painted on his property, Alan Mays says hes still pleading with authorities for answers to what hes calling a hate crime. *snip* Mays married his wife, who is White, in 2012 in Germany. They moved to Ripley, a small city nearly 60 miles from Memphis, in 2015. *snip* On top of his communitys apparent indifference and the authorities perceived inaction, Mays told CNN that hes also been having trouble with his insurance company. Whole article is a hell of a read. And good way to raise your blood pressure. --- "I will be your superhero!!!" STEAM ID: BombermanGOLDEN |
