uptick

is it just me that feels that every since Barack Obama became POTUS there has been a noticeable uptick in murders/executions of unarmed black men, women and children? Is this uptick because the white culture(RW males mostly)feels that black people will not fear their alleged power and superiority, that has, historically, been used to strike terror in the black community. From sheets, "he eyed a white woman" to badges the story is always the same, the black person was too uppity and didn't respect white authority and or edicts on how to kowtow to white culture, "he reached for his waistband", so I had to shoot him because he was charging me like a bull-demon. It just doesn't seem coincidental anymore or even the business as usual amerikkkan culture.

I think it is veiled threats to our President!

The uptick in racism since President Obama was elected is, I bet, provable. I would like to see the stats.

I share your viewpoint on this.

I think that another part is the expansion of social media as well as smartphone tech.

president Obama was first elected. their concern was for his and his family's safety. my concern was and still is for his and his family's safety as well as the safety of all black people. we have always been their number one target for hate, and the election of this president has set them off.

She never thought she would see this kind of blatant racism again in her life.

That's bad when a woman born in the early 1920's in the deep South is saying that.

I trust her.

I don't trust "well meaning" white folks who really have no fucks to give about us.

BTW - I've conducted a test. Check out my op about polite racists.

I was very very polite - but I'm a trickster. That should look familiar to you.

I did see your post about those polite racists. I am absolutely over "well-meaning white folks." See, you are better than me. You were so cool and collected while beautifully getting the point across. I love it all!!
