Only black reporters allowed in Mayoral race event

[Barnacle]

It is obvious that you don't understand "integration" or "segregation".
What laws were broken? You don't know, do you?
Why should the ACLU be involved? You don't know that either.
What you do know is the people involved were black. That chaps your ass, doesn't it?

I have no idea why the meeting denied entrance to white reporters. Maybe some of the issues discussed were sensitive. Maybe they didn't want triggered racists and bigots from Chatham County or Middle Tennessee in that particular meeting.

... and it's obvious this is not the only thing you have no idea of ... :lol:

Doesn't look like the reporter that wrote the story for the Athens-Banner-Herald got the "no story" memo.:lamo

Athens is a long haul from Savannah. The Banner-Herald did not send someone to Savannah to cover the "story". You didn't read the article. That or you did the best you could and then promptly shot yourself in the butt when you posted the above.

Did you read the byline? Or was it that you thought the rest of us were too stupid to know better?

The article was picked up off the AP wire. It was written by Eric Curl of the Savannah Morning News.

It wasn't a big story. It was in fact a local story that was picked up by the Athens Banner-Herald in Athens.

Tell me, then, and document it. While you are at it answer my questions.

What law was broken?

Why would the ACLU be involved?

 

[eohrnberger]

But, 'only white people can be racists', right? :lamo

No laws I know of were broken. However a political rally excluding reporters bases solely on skin tone is something the ACLU should speak out against if they are consistent. Had this simply been a church meeting or social gathering it would be different. But this was a political rally

Nothing wrong with it. People are snowflakes.

You see nothing wrong with excluding people based solely on skin tone

It's based on social dynamics, not skin tone. You have no idea what's going on and have substituted a self serving false equivalence.

So you would be OK if it was "whites only"?

Incredible that anyone plays apologist for this.

Role reversal time.

It's a Christian church with a largely or solely Caucasian worshipers. A white candidate giving a speech there, and there's a sign on the door 'White Press Only'.

What's yours, and everybody else's reaction?

I could have sworn it said on the posters "... Black Press Only" ... /s

First, I'd like to recognize your attempt to answer my questions to Barnacle. She can't answer them and it was good of you to step up.

Second, I get the fact that you are damn near beside yourself because, you know, black people. I can't help you with that. You'll have to live it.

Dang. Beat me to it.

Sure buddy. The sign on the door limiting access bases on skin tone has nothing to do with skin tone. The only peraon who hasn't a clue is a gender studies blowhard

Exclusionary policy by the majority power is inherently bigoted. Exclusionary policy by a minority power is empowering.

Minorities cannot escape racial bigotry at the social level (racism).

The majority is under no threat of disadvantage as a group.

Do you believe the sign is supremacist?

Sorry, no. Racism and exclusionary policies based on racism is simply racism.

One standard for all, or it's no standard at all.

My phd specialization in gender says that's trailer neck BS.

It would be splashed across the leftists MSM as they reported "Trump emboldens white supremacist" etc.

 

[Chillfolks]

The sign itself no. The idea of a reporter of one skin tone is better equipped to report on a political rally than someone of a different skin is.

Is the reporter better equipped because black people are superior?

I guess you missed "spotting overtly obvious racism, 101" :roll:

So you admit not knowing much at all. Or at least publicly portray that image on your posts

I don't even know how to respond to stupid crap like that.

Wow, this is an incredible display of racism. I thought the end of Jim Crow and the civil rights act, put a stop to this. I bet CNN is all over it. lol, not. More at link: Only black reporters allowed in Georgia mayoral race event

Only black reporters allowed in Georgia mayoral race event - Nation World - Athens Banner-Herald - Athens, GA



SAVANNAH, Ga. | Race was front and center on Wednesday night during a meeting coordinated to garner support for just one black candidate in Savannah’s mayoral election.

With signs stating “Black press only” on the doors of the church where the meeting was held, white reporters were barred from entry, while black reporters for at least two television stations were permitted inside.

The event was coordinated by the Rev. Clarence Teddy Williams, owner of the consulting firm, The Trigon Group, who declined to discuss the entry policy.

Former Savannah Mayor Edna Jackson declined to comment before going inside, as did Chatham County Commissioner Chester Ellis.

“This is not my idea,” Ellis said.

:shock:
There are no words...
