calendar.eji.org/racial-injustice/jan/05On January 5, 1923, a mob of over 200 white men attacked the Black community in Rosewood, Florida, killing over 30 Black women, men, and children, burning the town to the ground, and forcing all survivors to permanently flee Rosewood. On January 1, 1923, in Sumner, Florida, a young, married white woman named Fannie Taylor claimed she had been assaulted by Jesse Hunter, a Black fugitive from a prison chain gang. Though there was no evidence against Mr. Hunter, local white men launched a manhunt in Rosewood, a nearby town of about 200 Black people. On January 2nd, a mob of white men kidnapped, tortured, and lynched Sam Carter, a Black craftsman from Rosewood, on suspicion that he had helped Jesse Hunter escape. White men continued to terrorize Rosewood searching for Mr. Hunter and Black residents armed themselves in defense. Late on the night of January 4th, a white posse fired into the home of Black Rosewood resident Sylvester Carrier (whom they suspected of harboring Mr. Hunter) and killed an elderly woman. A gunfight between Carrier and the mob lasted into the early morning, killing people on both sides. Outraged that Black residents had fought back, the posse left the scene to regroup and returned with more men. On January 5th, a mob of between two and three hundred white men attacked Rosewood, killing an estimated thirty to forty Black men, women, and children on sight and burning the town to the ground. Black residents hid in the woods and fled by train to Gainesville, Florida, never to return. Survivors later recounted that Fannie Taylor had made false accusations against Jesse Hunter to conceal her extramarital affair with a white man.

I don’t really think he believes that to be true.
Sounds like a selfish guy upset at the world because his marriage is ending. I love how everyone assumed it was a woman until his name was revealed.

Woah just read😳That should rattle every patriotic American. He was blatantly asking them to fudge the numbers. And threatening them with jail time if they didn’t go along. 4 years of that kind of leadership! He doesn’t even sound convincing. If you are going to be diabolical at least be good at it. He sucks at everything he attempts. Just a mediocre sad sad man and the government is full of politicians like him. Such an odd time in America’s history. Small signs the tides are turning but look how far gone. Monday is going to be an absolute shit show.

I don’t watch House of Cards but a friend says the show basically mirrors the scandals in this presidency. It’s crazy how many punishable offenses slid off his back though. I was certain he was going to be impeached. He was impeached. The Republicans didn’t have the balls to do anything about it though. They didn’t call any witnesses. They didn’t subpoena any documents. They (Republicans) just voted not to convict. The vote was along party lines, except Romney on one of the charges. They won’t have the balls to do anything about this either. It is just shameful. I stand corrected. I don’t think America will be the same after this presidency. So many lives lost. Needlessly. |

Quick with the edit I see. I didn’t pull those threads. I clicked on your name and keyword searched “Olan” those are just your recent posts. Here are Olan my threads all in one quick easy to find place they also show your character. So there was no effort to pick and choose threads. All random. And the reader doesn’t have to do any work to find context...it’s a thread. Clickable context. Dated even. All you. Not in your assholian totality but it’s a pretty clear picture of our interactions. Also I’m perfectly fine with what those threads say about me (That’s why I always link them duh) but I’m going to go out on a limb here and say the reason why you want to prove a point so bad is because you see how badly the things you’ve said all laid out actually look. And who are we kidding If you really felt the way you say you feel about me you’d be insane to keep interacting. Yet here you are. The threads you’ve chosen to post confirm what I’ve been saying all along, I’m not ashamed of any of them, so sorry (not sorry) to burst your little bubble. Like I said in one of your stalker linking posts, always o l a n with the thread linking, spreadsheets, and attacking peas for participating. You came into this thread and specifically bashed and attacked Elaine and myself in the hopes that it would get a reaction. And it didn’t. You then decided to ramp up your attacks by choosing to attack me over a post I linked, that had zero to do with you. So I set you straight. Yet here you go, starting a new year being who you what you’ve always been—a bully. This is a message board. I post to a variety of threads. Unlike you, It doesn’t matter to me who starts them. I don’t keep track of them. But as always, you need to make it all about you. I hope the attention you’re seeking is giving you what you need. It’s sad, but you do you. What part of those aren’t compiled threads out of context did you not understand 🤣 it’s all clickable and I’m sure you’ve clicked a couple. Girl it’s all there. Anyone who cares to see it will👀 We didn’t need your word stew and sanctimonious declarations of who the real bully is. You can scream about it being out of context all you want but you know damn well how accurate even those 2 random pages of interactions paint your lackluster character. I’m okay with everyone hating me. I used to get heated when no one would “back me” in instances like this but now I just laugh at the predictable of allyship and how hesitate while women are on calling each other on their shit. BTW I don’t care which threads you post to. Would I love it if you never found your way into one of mine again? Sure! But I know that’s not how messageboards work. One thing they do do though is keep an accurate history the words people are comfortable saying. Heres another Lauren thread throwback: Guess whose in the thread slinging accusations and tandem bullying😏 My 2017 responses made my companion spit his drink in my face 🤣🤣🤣 2peasrefugees.boards.net/thread/68617/entire-day-outrageContext right.

In getting back to the topic 🤪 you can copy this link too if it makes you feel better about yourself girl
time.com/5857023/karen-meme-history-meaning/?amp=true
Brock said that the viral widespread resonance of “Karen” footage now is the result of an interest convergence where the coronavirus pandemic intersected with collective outrage over police brutality. The weekend that the video of Amy Cooper in Central Park went viral was the same weekend that George Floyd was killed after now-former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck, suffocating him. The Central Park video only highlighted the extreme violence — and potentially fatal consequences — of a white woman selfishly calling the cops out of spite and professed fear.
In a larger sense, the mainstreaming of calling out the danger that white women and their tears pose has been building up to this moment. There’s the oft-cited stat that 52% of white women voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 election. Meanwhile, the constant lies of white women like Kellyanne Conway and Sarah Huckabee Sanders in service of the Trump Administration have made it abundantly clear that white women can and are often complicit in oppressive systems. Coupled with the rise of social media and the smartphone camera, the longtime narrative of white women as helpless victims in need of protection is now being challenged by video evidence of them as instigators of not only conflict, but violence.

In my two most recent threads @papercraftadvocate can be found posting the exact link found in my last comments on the thread. She seems to have a habit of closing a thread or wanting to the the first person to post on a page. Here are our previous interactions. You will find many instances where she declares me a troll, a bully, an angry Black woman, unworthy of engagement, on ignore etc. you will also find me asking her to stop engaging with me. Yet here we are Year after year thread after thread. She also loves to jump between another pea and I. I would go as far as saying you’d be hard pressed to click on one of my threads and NOT see at least ONE poking comment from papercraftadvocate. From her own posting history: 2peasrefugees.boards.net/user/956/recent?q=Olan Pokey Papercraftadvocate: 2peasrefugees.boards.net/thread/62666/updated-police-speak-respectfully-driversTo say she has a pattern would be an understatement. How’s about on the first Karen thread of 2021 you follow through with your promise and really AVOID me here at 2peas. From where I sit it looks very intentional on your part to engage in the way that you do. Remember the board goes back further than I can search with some simple keywords. Bravo! You prove my point every single time. You’ve shown that you can pull up threads and use them out of context and without the benefit of the entire conversation. You’ve show that what you said in a post you linked above about you not being able to grow/show growth is absolutely 100% true. Thank you. Quick with the edit I see. I didn’t pull those threads.

I also hope the hotel fired the manager. The hotel responded to the incident pretty much distancing themselves from what happened. In the interview with the mom she says the manager never went to their room to speak with them even after the news broke and they were still on-site. Empowered is the word the dad used to describe how the manager handled the situation and it’s pretty accurate. He could have taken control of the situation and mitigated the boy being tackled. In his interview he sounds like the sweetest kid. I wish our boys were allowed to grow up without this type of trauma. To really be seen as kids and not thieves. |

If you’re referring to me, 1. I did not post a duplicate link. I linked an article from The Root. I did not see any links from the root. I’m not going to engage in your little semantics/goal list moving game playing this year, and — 2. Go Refresh your memory on your statement of not engaging with me from the links in your post above. You just cannot help yourself by dragging people, tagging them, beetlejuicing, and gaslighting, and finally, given your propensity to alter what someone has said, changing meaning, assume you know what they are thinking, and just outright lie about it, you can— 3. “Stop, what the hell are you talking about? Ha Get my pretty name outta your mouth We are not the same with or without Don't talk 'bout me like how you might know how I feel... So go have fun, I really couldn't care less And you can give 'em my best, but just know... I'm not your friend or anything, damn.” ~paraphrased from Billie Ellish I’ll contribute when I want to, but you need to stop assuming everything is about you. (It’s not).

From the pews of a church where white deacons once refused to seat African Americans, a group of Black singers in Alabama reminds us why preserving our memories of this historic year is vital — even if we'd rather just leave 2020 behind.
They're singing "Auld Lang Syne," the Scottish ballad synonymous with ringing in the new year. It begins with this line: "Should auld acquaintance be forgot / And never brought to mind?"
That question — of whether to forget the past — is central to the art film, For The Sake Of Old Times, debuting on NPR this week.
"It's certainly my tendency — and maybe our natural human tendency — to want to rush forward and put this year behind us," explains Tyler Jones, the film's director. "But that may do a disservice, I think, to our memories and those who went before us."
Produced by a diverse group of filmmakers assembled by 1504, a studio based in Birmingham, Ala., For The Sake Of Old Times pairs the performance of "Auld Lang Syne" with archival footage from 2020, particularly of the summer's racial justice protests.

Thank you for reminding me of the danger of stereotyping. I know plenty of racists, I’m sad to say, and know well that they come in many different guises. I read the story, and then saw the mugshot, and yes, based in my own acquaintances, they did look like the kind of guys who would grab guns, jump in a pick up, and think they were going to be heroes with their vigilantism. I also think I was reacting to something in the expressions in their faces. I did not mean to be hateful. And I appreciate the reminder that’s not everybody in the South is racist. Because it is the racists, and their deplorable,( word chosen purposefully ) actions who are the ones I end up hearing about in the news. You know, I thought precisely the same thing that you wrote on your other post: that they looked exactly like I expected them to look. The only reason I didn't write it before you is because I'd already used that line in reference to the clowns on the steps of the government building, brandishing their AK47s. But yes, there really is a danger in stereotyping racists, because we run the risk of missing the "normal" looking ones right under our noses. This was a really ironic twist in the thread for me. I remember being incredibly angered by it and wanting to lose my shit. For the record those men do look like racist pieces of shit. I would immediately clock them as men to be suspicious of. Difference between me and them is I can’t go around shooting people because they strike me as dangerous. They can and do. “We run the risk” Whose is really at risk? What risk do unsuspecting racists pose? How do we mitigate those risks? What actionable thing could you do today that can be described as anti-racist? Remember in June-July when not hating Black people was “in” well what happened? Who has to die in order to get the anti-racist ball rolling again? |

Miya was seen at McDonald’s. When she was asked why she tackled the young man she said “I’m actually 22 and Puerto Rican”. Kinda why I take issue with the term POC. She also lists herself as Italian according to internet sleuths. But yep her “justification” is she is young and Latina. She seems very unbothered. That’s privilege for you. Cause harm and then go live your life like nothing happened. 🤷🏾♀️

Except that you/them sharing that info that is most likely false or at the very least misrepresenting what actually happened, is adding to the problems that we are having TODAY with people not trusting the vaccines. Yes, there has been mistreatment in the past and there is reason for people to be skeptical. But is spreading false information on the basis of adding to that fear helpful? You speak as though the mistreatment is all historical, rather than it being the current lived experience of your African American brothers and sisters. Here's a recent article about an African American doctor www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/US/hospital-ceos-response-black-doctors-covid-19-death/story%3fid=74971005They CEO basically said Dr. Moore was intimidating and contributed to her own experience. It was hard to hear him say that. Black women here the word intimidating a lot 👀 |

I’m scheduled for mine next week. Originally only 20% of the staff wanted it. Documentation was printed out and questions were asked/answered. Now we are at about 75% acceptance. One of the administrative staff members stated she wasn’t getting it because they are putting GPS trackers in the vaccine. I cannot deal with idiots like this. There are scientists and doctors a lot smarter than me, who know more medical info than I do, that are comfortable doing this. Not even a question...I’m getting it! I work with a Trump loving nurse who spouts the same crap about GPS trackers being in the vaccine while she has an iPhone in her hand. 😂😂😂 Here my IPhone tells my family I am in the ocean but back home it will let my sister know if I’m taking Uber or the subway. It details what line too 😳 Just for clarity. I do plan to eventually get the vaccine if it becomes available to me. I am not a resident of the country I live in so I imagine I’ll be last on the list anyway. Fine by me because my general distrust means I want to see what it does to everyone else first. |

I think people have just a general mistrust. Not long ago drug makers were the devil and said to be responsible for the opioid problem. Today, they are the saviors for the COVID vaccine...My guess is people have that in the back of their mind. Not to mention if something really bad happens (reaction wise) there is no recourse (I have not researched if this is true). That is just my guess... Racism is the cause of the opioid addiction. Studies proved that doctors don’t believe Black people feel pain in the same way as everyone else. Dr. Moore experienced this during her stay at the Indianapolis hospital. And ummm pharmaceutical companies are the devil because they were like well damn what should we do with all the pain pills doctors won’t give to Black people. Boom overprescribing white folks and then addiction. Settlements, studies, and dissertation this isn’t just my opinion. I wanna think my ideas are fresh and new but Google usually tells me nope sis. Also opioid addicts wouldn’t have as hard a go at recovery if the War on Drugs (racism) didn’t demonize addiction. Again studies. Let’s look at some other societal problems and connect them to racism shall we. School shootings have never been committed by a “sassy“ Black teenager but school systems across America stay kicking a black kid out of school don’t though? Karens are in classrooms. The resource officer won’t tackle a kid with a gun but a black kid with a cell phone...no problem. Legislators were more concerned about Black people owning guns than they were with mass shootings becoming commonplace. The Nashville bomber’s girlfriend told police he was building bombs in an RV and the police said “Hey we knocked but he didn’t answer” meanwhile the same police department kicked a Black woman’s door in and killed her as she slept. Black people are overpoliced and we wonder why society is so lawless. The narrative that one group of people are violent when really its the other party just leaves a lot of people dead. Thwart a mass shooting or defund the police right? Fix racism and a lot of societal problems would diminish. |

Olan I am not disagreeing with you at all, but misinformation never helps. As to what happened with the vaccine you were using as an example. The vaccines are the same, but because they come from different funding sources and have different lot numbers doctor’s offices keep track of private vs public vaccines because they need to report to the state any publicly funded shot. If they use private instead of public or vice versa, they have to fill out and submit paperwork regarding it, plus replace it with their private stock and submit the paperwork for that as well. Because the VFC program pays for the vaccines, while the office is reimbursed for privately insured patients. I didn’t believe you disagreed with me I was sharing what I thought was more helpful insight about Black people and our unwillingness to be vaccinated. I agree with you that misinformation never helps which is why I posted the links that explained the lived experiences I shared and the ones craftykitten saw in the video. As with any lived experience how you perceive what happened to you shapes who you are. I don’t trust vaccines or medical setting like most Black women I know and could list a host of other lived experiences that could shed light on the why. The nurse I encountered as a teen was probably shocked that an orphaned Black girl would have private health insurance. My sister is a Dr. with a hyphenated name so I’m going to guess the nurse reaching in the Medicaid batch has a lot to do with bias in a medical setting. So it’s like we are back where we started no? |

There have been numerous reports of Black people being turned away at emergency departments, sent home without having been examined or treated and later dying of the virus. In an August essay about Covid-19 treatment written for the California Health Care Foundation, Dr. Vanessa Grubbs, a nephrologist, noted, "No available data suggest such implicit bias is happening on a large scale and resulting in worse outcomes. But the lack of data is less a sign that the problem does not exist than a reflection of what data we choose not to gather."
Second, the federal government knowingly withheld treatment for 40 years from the same citizens it was supposed to protect. This critical point bears important lessons for how we go forward from the pandemic.
From the article
“Black people's distrust of vaccines -- and even at time health care -- goes much deeper than the Tuskegee study. We live in a country organized around structural racism. This means Black Americans are less likely to receive the health care we deserve. We are more likely to live in neighborhoods with poor air quality and fewer outlets to purchase healthy food. We are more likely to work in low-paying "essential" jobs that put us more at risk for contracting Covid-19. All of these factors make us more likely to die of the virus, which is to say we are living with, and dying of, racism.
But now we have a vaccine and a chance to protect ourselves from a deadly contagion that is tearing our country and communities apart. Vaccines have changed societies for the better in the past, and this one has not come a minute too soon. Still, we should approach it with healthy skepticism about potential side effects and serious adverse reactions. Because the vaccine came to market so quickly, we do not have long-term safety studies, and there are still many unanswered questions.
One of the lasting lessons of Tuskegee is that denying medical care is among the biggest breaches of trust between citizens and their governments. We must ensure that marginalized groups like Black, Indigenous and people of color, immigrants, disabled people and people in prison can receive this vaccine. We must also ensure people are allowed to ask questions to make informed and uncoerced decisions about their health care.
As I wait my turn to take the vaccine, I will be learning everything I can about it. I long for an end to the loneliness and grief the pandemic has wrought, and I believe the vaccine is one step in the right direction. Although the distrust of many Black people is absolutely warranted, we suffer more from not getting access to life-saving treatments than being injected with nefarious vaccines.
We have seen time and time again that vulnerable people, and obviously Black people, are at the back of the line when it comes to access to care. I hope the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine does not repeat these sins.”

People in public health are working really hard to improve the medical hesitancy due to race, and stuff like this (that we don’t know what actually happened) doesn’t help. All of the ad campaigns and radio promo have only served to make me more leery. It just seems really suspect to me. If only they worked really hard to fix the issue that is really causing the hesitation amongst Black people. Another thing to note is there is an awakening in the Black community. We are making connections between what has happened and what continues to happen. That said there are still tons of Black people who don’t know vaccinations wouldn’t be possible without a Black woman because welll that’s the type of shit they like to keep from us. Much of the medical mistrust can’t really be quelled by ad campaigns because it’s just a knowing Black people have that you don’t apply reasoning to. Unless it’s compulsory those of us who are adamant about not being vaccinated can’t be swayed by shaming us or hell even having an intelligent fact filled conversation on the topic. It is what it is. Another result of racism. |

Here is what I’ve found after about 10-15 mins of research. mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN23G2AGwww.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK221817/The experience I mentioned happened when I was a minor. I was alone at the appointment because my parents were dead at this point. My sister has had a similar medical experience with her children while being vaccinated. She works for a university system outside of her state and says once or twice a year she has someone comment on how many children she has and their ages + fishing questions to see if she parents alone. Apparently the nurses find it wild she has such great insurance and a loving husband. 😏 |

I see stories like this and can't help but wonder what is lacking in the person's life/how poorly they think of themselves that they have to make up stuff about their life. Girl needs to know that being Hilary from MA is perfectly special in and of itelf. Sigh. What’s stopping them? What message in society tells white women it’s not okay to be white women? |

I’ve been about to get vaccinated when a nurse says o wait you have private insurance...left the original vial and returned with another. No effort to hide it either so it’s gotta be common. It would be foolish to believe that with all instances of medical mistreatment and deadly outcomes Black people experience vaccines are the one thing that’s safe and fair for everyone. Like come on🤷🏾♀️

I was watching a YouTube video (Allan Pan) who does crazy invention stuff, and yesterday’s video was about a dart gun for vaccinations, All in jest. He mentioned something about compulsory vaccination and his camerawoman - who is black - said she was sceptical. Not of vaccines, but of the government. She said if she gets the vaccination, she wants the same one white people get. So off they trot to a Beverley Hills clinic, where he gets the vaccine, and then it’s the camerawomans’s turn....and they tried to give her a different one! For no reason! It is a systemic failure of governments that people do not trust them enough to get vaccinated. And I include my government and yours. And remember that without a Black woman how we are vaccinated wouldn’t even be possible. White people and audacity!!!! Cause harm/death and then shame/ridicule the descendants of those victims when they don’t want to play along. Acknowledging the harm caused to Black people is the first step. |
