#racialviolence — Public Fediverse posts

A former NC law enforcement officer was arrested with a handgun & 200+ rounds of ammo at a Florida hotel — allegedly headed to commit a racially motivated mass shooting at a major Louisiana festival. Christopher Gillum, who is white, had allegedly expressed explicit threats to harm Black people. His own family reported him missing and tipped off police. Jazz Fest draws 460,000+ attendees. A tragedy was potentially averted — but the threat exposes an urgent and ongoing crisis of racially motivated violence in America. Stay informed.

Part of my thread that's coming later this week will also discuss how being treated like shit/being disbelieved here (after getting swatted by a pathological liar who owns a huge Canadian instance, with a lot of ignorant supporters who seem unaware or don't care that their guy swatted me) - severely triggered my PTSD on being disbelieved when I tried reporting being SAed as a teen. I was bullied & ostracized for trying to report SA. People believed the rapist & not me. It brought up the same angry, disappointed & people are fucked feelings.
I had almost left Mastodon completely, due to that.

The Epstein Files triggered both of those hella horrible life memories, again. I'd never been swatted before Chad Ohman chose to send that racial violence to my home, shortly after my Dad died. That night was full of unnecessary police traumas too. I'm sick of people pretending to care & I find out they don't, when shit hits the fan.

I don't need fake support. I don't need cowardly folks. That shit ends up hurting me in the long run. I don't need any fucking devil's advocates either. Go hang out with Satan.

@benroyce @mayintoronto I knew exactly why & that's why I was super enraged, afterwards. Almost everyone here knew how much I love/caregive/look after my family & almost everyone here felt heartbroken & angry over how my Dad & my family was treated on night Dad died. Almost everyone here knew I was a targeted longtime POC disabled woman activist & been arrested more than 100X. He sent cops to my house - knowing all of that. It wasn't private, it was public. It was white violence on our family. I don't forgive him or any white folks who chose to believe his lying scumbucket ass.

What he did was targeted, #RacialViolence.

On the site of one of the worst in Canada - #Namgis territory, #AlertBay. It was called St. Michael's Indian Residential School. It was demolished in 2015. #Umista Cultural Center sits on the old site. #Indigenous peoples have reclaimed their land there & are trying to heal from colonial abuses.

We have racists in #Canada who are currently dishonouring the victims of residential schools by denying survivors' histories & saying mass graves are a lie. This is so wrong. We owe the ones who died & the living survivors support & reparations. Please don't let folks use denialism around you - confront them & stand up for the victims & survivors.

The sentencing of Cassius Turvey’s killers shows courts still struggle to deal with racism

"The brutal homicide of 15-year-old Noongar Yamatji boy, Cassius Turvey, by a group of white men revealed the racial schisms in Western Australian society. Turvey was walking home from school in October 2022 when he was abruptly beaten to death."

“It seems like we’re headed in the direction where there’s even an attempt to deny that the institution of #slavery even existed, or that #JimCrow laws & #segregation & #RacialViolence against Black communities, Black families, Black individuals even occurred,” said historian Clarissa Myrick-Harris, a professor at Morehouse College, the historically Black campus in Atlanta.

#CivilRights advocates, #historians & #Black political leaders sharply rebuked #Trump on Friday for his order, entitled “Restoring Truth & Sanity to American History.” They argued that his #ExecutiveOrder targeting the #Smithsonian Institution is his admin’s latest move to downplay how #race, #racism & #BlackAmericans themselves have shaped the nation’s story.

Authorities have not released a motive, but a patch on the shooter’s chest said “#RWDS,” an initialism that stands for #RightWingDeathSquad…. The phrase is popular among #RightWingExtremists, #NeoNazi & #WhiteSupremacists, …&while…authorities have not reached any conclusions yet, investigators are approaching the #MassShooting as a possible #HateCrime.

…the gunman’s tactical vest was also packed w/ammo magazines, indicating just how much carnage he hoped to inflict….

#RacialViolence #Terrorism

The gunman who opened fire on a mall in a #Dallas #Texas suburb on Sat, killing at least 8 people, had an apparent fascination w/ #WhiteSupremacist / #NeoNazi beliefs that are now being examined…as a possible #motive for the attack….

Mauricio Garcia had multiple weapons on him & 5 additional guns in his car nearby….
