Here’s an example of white racists playing the victim.
@jimpolito from @WHYN560 disparages me by saying, “I use the word ‘Bishop’ loosely,” refers to Black people as “these folks,” and claims Springfield Police Commissioner Clapprood is “under attack.”
No, she’s not.

14 cops are being prosecuted for beating Black people and lying on police reports.
A cop who was convicted for beating a 15-year-old Black boy is still on police payroll.
But Commissioner Clapprood is a victim because residents want her fired for racism and incompetence?
2/4
A cop is being prosecuted for threatening to murder a Latino teenager.
The DOJ is negotiating with the city to mitigate constitutional rights violations and said the department routinely engages in excessive force against Black & brown residents.
But Clapprood’s a victim?
3/4
A judge has ordered the mayor to appoint a civilian police commission to ensure accountability.
Civil rights orgs, community groups, residents, seniors, and elected officials have called for Clapprood’s removal because of her racism and incompetence.
She’s no victim.

On May 1, 1865, at the end of the Civil War, thousands of newly freed slaves and regiments of the U.S. Colored Troops gathered to march around a Confederate Army prison camp in honor of the unnamed fallen Union soldiers who fought for their freedom.
African Americans were erased from the story of Memorial Day by white Democrats after they regained control of state politics at the end of Reconstruction.
A day that originally celebrated Black liberation was highjacked by white supremacists.
According to the TX State Historical Association, Mayor Cornelius Ennis was was born in 1813 in NJ, same as @TuckerCarlson’s 3x great grandfather. His family came to NJ from Ireland, same as Carlson‘s family. He married Jeanette Kimball, name of Carlson‘s 3x great grandmother.
The 1860 Census Slave Schedule shows @TuckerCarlson‘s 3x great grandfather, Cornelius Ennis, former mayor of Houston, blockade runner for the Confederacy, and man for whom Ennis, TX is named, as the owner of at least 16 slaves in Harris, TX. He also owned slaves in Louisiana.
Learn your history wypipo, you are the original rioters.
You didn’t riot because you were being unjustly murdered, you rioted to subjugate Black people.
You destroyed entire towns because Black people were becoming too prosperous.
You lynched and murdered us by the thousands.
The East St. Louis Massacre was sparked by the fear of Black men migrating from the South to factories in the North and taking jobs from white people. Wypipo murdered hundreds of Black people and destroyed the town. It launched what is known as ‘Red Summer.’
It was called ‘Red Summer,’ but was actually 6 consecutive years of racist violence, murder, and destruction wypipo exacted upon Black people for having the audacity to build their own communities.
It was during this time the all-Black town of Rosewood, Florida, was destroyed.
It is being reported that the shooter is a 17 year old who drove to #Kenosha from Antioch, Illinois with an AR-15 looking for trouble. He murdered 2 people and wounded a man who will lose his arm as a result.
This is Christian Walker. He was trained well on how to be a foot shuffling bootlicker by his famous white supremacy apologizing father #HerschelWalker.
For the record Christian:
4,529 women were RAPED by WHITE men last week. 13% of raped women attempt suicide.

121 WHITE people were MURDERED by WHITE men last week. 89% of murdered white people are killed by white people.
54% on welfare are WHITE women. WHITE people without a college degree 18 to 64 are the largest class lifted out of poverty by so called ‘entitlement’ programs.
2/5
60% of deadbeat dads are WHITE men. Because a Black man is not married to the mother of his children doesn’t mean he’s a deadbeat. 59.5% of black men live with their children. Statistically they’re more involved in the lives of their children than their white counterparts.

To hell with all of you, including Black people, who use ‘Black on Black crime’ to deflect from police brutality, the extra judicial murder of Black people, and systemic racism in America.
It’s an invalid argument.
It’s disingenuous.
It’s racist.
It’s disgusting.
1/5
So-called ‘Black-on-Black crime’ isn’t a valid argument against criticizing police brutality.
When white people use it, what they’re basically saying is, “you kill each other, why can’t we kill you?“
They never deal with injustice, they just deflect from it.
2/5
Black people care about crime within their communities and racism in the criminal justice system. We don’t have to choose one or the other to be vocal about.
Crime perpetrated by criminals is different than sworn police officers murdering innocent prople.
