Why The 'Race Card' Is Played

MIAMI (CBSMiami) — A South Florida jury has found North Miami Police Officer Jonathan Aledda not guilty on a culpable negligence charge in the shooting of a caretaker. He had been accused of attempted manslaughter for firing three shots at a severely autistic man but hitting the man’s caretaker instead. The jury deliberated for more than six hours but still could not reach a verdict on the attempted manslaughter charges. In fact, the jury could not decide on three charges. The state will decide on March 27 if they will go to trial on the other charges. Aledda was charged with 2 felony counts of attempted manslaughter and 2 misdemeanor counts of culpable negligence. The prosecution said in a statement, “Since July 18, 2016, our community has been traumatized by North Miami Police Officer Jonathan Aledda’s shooting of mental health therapist Charles Kinsey in his effort to protect his client, Arnaldo Rios Soto.” #whytheracecardisplayed

When well-intentioned people, often white folks, seek token friends from another race, or impose their ideas of what can be done, things end badly. 

Now Duke? Duke was the enemy. The antithesis of what we loved and aspired to. They’d won the national championship the season before the Fab Five came together, but in our minds Duke embodied the privileged, spoiled team that had everything given to them. The referees cheated for them, mainstream America loved them … and we hated everything about them. (Though everyone always admitted Grant Hill was cool.)

“A crowd of weird-looking people watches Donna Belt’s interpretative dancing at a Zeta Tau Alpha costume party given by the fall pledge class,” reads a caption under a picture of a group of students, many of whom are in blackface, in the 1962 Yucca — the university’s yearbook at the time — on Page 305.

School Board member John H. Hicks Jr. proposed a ban of “any symbols of racism or oppression such as the Confederate Flag or KKK symbols or anything of that nature” in response to the incident.

White supremacists murdered Alaska man as part of 'vile and racist gang,' feds say The men allegedly kidnapped, assaulted and murdered Michael Staton in 2017.

Why would you want to?? The station, owned by John Placek, drew criticism from passersby over the weekend with a billboard that referenced the acquittal of police officer Michael Rosfeld in the shooting of Antwon Rose. The billboard’s text, according to WTAE, said “Justice Served, Get over it,” and was accompanied with two photos. Above the photo of Rosfeld was the word “Policeman” and above the photo of Rose was the word “Criminal.” Another message, as reported by the Philly Voice said, “Question: Why can Blacks say n****r but Whites can't?" While the billboard’s detractors claimed the message and imaging was racist, John’s brother, Rich, told WTAE that his brother was trying to make the point that “we need to be equal.” https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com #whytheracecardisplayed

"I've seen that movie." Jordan Peele is on a goddamn roll. Us, his superbly oblique horror follow-up to Get Out, is a massive success, his Twilight Zone reboot premieres next week, and the guy still has a shit-ton of Nazi-hunting showsand Lovecraft County adaptations and unofficial Key & Peele reunions in the pipeline. Peele has already cemented his place as one of the greatest and most prolific filmmakers in the business, and it sounds like he's going to keep using his growing fame to push Hollywood in a better direction—by refusing to make movies starring yet another white dude. "I feel fortunate to be in this position where I can say to Universal, 'I want to make a $20 million horror movie with a black family.' And they say yes," Peele said during a Q&A in Los Angeles on Monday, according to the Hollywood Reporter. "I don’t see myself casting a white dude as the lead in my movie. Not that I do...

An Oklahoma official invoked Martin Luther King Jr. to defend racist and Islamophobic Facebook posts attributed to him, according to KFOR News. In 2014, in reference to unrest in Ferguson, Mo., County Assessor Larry Stein wrote, "There hasn't been this great of a racial divide in America since the 1850's … Congrats to the thugs and animals in Ferguson,” according to the outlet. In another post, he wrote, “No shirt, no shoes, no service.

WATCH: Rookie Cop Shoots Man who Requested Supervisor During Seat Belt Stop Dashcam video released on Monday shows a rookie Kansas police officer shooting and wounding a man during a traffic stop over a suspected seat belt violation on May 29. Lawrence police officer Brindley Blood, the officer seen in the video shooting the man, has been charge with reckless aggravated battery, a felony, in the Douglas County District Court for shooting 35-year-old Akira Lewis, according to The Kansas City Star. Blood, who resigned from the Lawrence Police Department on January 28, says the shooting was accidental and maintains she intended to reach for her taser instead of her firearm. In the video, Lewis can be heard telling officer Ian McCann who stopped him that he was pulled over because he is black. "I need your diver's license and your insurance card," McCann says to Lewis. "If you give me that, I will get you your citation; I will get you on your way. You will be here...

Similarly, the researchers do not suggest that Trump directly caused any of these crimes, either. But there are certainly a number of cases in which the president declined to outright condemn messages and incidents that peddled hate.

The University of Georgia chapter of the Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) fraternity has been suspended after a video showing members of the UGA TKE chapter using racial slurs went viral on social media. The video shows one of the frat members hitting another with a belt, while yelling "pick my cotton, b****." The frat member being struck yells out "I'm not black," while a third person off-screen says, "You're not using the right words." Then the one holding the belts starts swinging again and inserts a racial slur. "Pick my cotton, n*****," he says. https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com #whytheracecardisplayed
