Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

She’s just copying trump. Get called a rapist, get convicted, act the victim, all the incels on the planet bail him out.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Plenty of fucked up neo-Nazi compound nutters supporting her worthless ass.

[–] MiyamotoKnows@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

People and employers should find out who her contributors are.

[–] neons@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, I am sorry, but doxxing her SSN is a pretty disproportionate response lmao

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works -2 points 8 hours ago

Why? The N-word in this context seems much more harmful.

[–] nthavoc@lemmy.today 17 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

This story reads like AI slop to get people angry which DailyKOS is known for. There's a what happened, but there's quite a few details missing.

edit: I found it on NBC: https://www.nbcnews.com/video/video-shows-woman-using-racist-slur-on-playground-238830661724

[–] ReverendIrreverence@lemmy.world 22 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

And she's raising the cash on a supposedly "christian" go fund me-type site. Apparently "do unto others..." is not a thing with maga christians

[–] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago (5 children)

There's no such thing as a good Christian. They're all just hate-filled assholes itching to go back to lynching.

[–] theherk@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

What an ignorant thing to say. I don’t agree with their position on the supernatural, but my generalization ends at their truth claims.

There are many good Christians, good Muslims, good pagans, good satanists, etc. And many bad among them too. Because good and evil is a different axis than theism and atheism. Nice though it would be if everything were so neatly orthogonal.

The fascists are getting too comfortable.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 42 points 1 day ago

You don't even have to ask in what racist shithole country that happened.

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 38 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Who tf is funding her? Get their names and publicly shame them now. This is NOT ok.

Just check the names who donated. For example "AryanBarbarian"

I'm glad to know I'm not a cunt who plays victim. I hate the n word but if I said it and got my ass kicked I wouldn't be mad because I'll know I deserved it.

I hate how these people play victim whenever they face consequences....but can't wait for Trump to give her the Medal of Honor. ( /s for the trump part)

[–] Prior_Industry@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Can you really say there is not a chance Trump would get involved somehow, get her up on stage etc. Not sure the /s is needed.

And those same people who gave her money are also the first ones to say, “I have no money.”

[–] Prior_Industry@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

The prices are too high, I have not a bean!

[–] Justathroughdaway@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

I've got a plan...

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 72 points 1 day ago (13 children)

The video does not include her saying it to the kid directly, but to the man (presumably father) confronting her, multiple times. Then she admits that yeah she did call the child the n-word because "he acts like one".

She proudly and defiantly doubled and tripled down on it while being openly filmed. All she had to do was move on and nobody would have been the wiser. In a normal world, this would be a clear case of "play stupid games, win stupid prizes".

I truly hope the (presumably) dad also has some fundraising going on.

People suck.

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world 177 points 1 day ago (19 children)

From one of the top donors, just insane...

[–] yaslam@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago (5 children)

"The White race is under threat of impending extinction every day" Dafuq is this

[–] LeninOnAPrayer@lemm.ee 3 points 16 hours ago

They think "white genocide" is when a white person consensually has a child with a non white person. So they want to remove all non white people and create a white Ethnostate to "preserve the white race".

Nazis. Just Nazis.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago

You know that inbreeding. It is under constant assault.
