We have another average joe type out there already trying to 'spin it in his own little mind' that none of this happened, it's aok, and no white folks misbehaved in Texas.

that Serena has endured over her career yesterday on Yahoo (damn - can't find it).

The pool party you have probably heard about - black kids invited to a pool party, then someone calls the cops because they were there and it gets ugly

Who looks to be about my age - used racist language and punched a 19 year old in the face.

Hate crime committed - yet nothing about the woman who committed it is in the news.

I didn't realize there were two separate events. That's why I couldn't find it, but I since have.
