If I had been the couch from this visiting school, I would have had the team re-board the bus and taken them home.

Dummy found hanging at Johnson High School
A girls basketball team in New Jersey found a black dummy hanging by its neck in a classroom when they arrived for a game at another school.
The Plainfield High School team, which comes from a community thats 50 percent African-American, was visiting Arthur L. Johnson High School in Clark, where less than 1 percent of the population is black, reported My Central Jersey.
The girls were given a classroom to change into their uniforms for a game Saturday morning, and they found the dummy hanging by its neck from a string tied to a post with a basketball attached.
......................................
Someone on the team photographed the dummy and posted the image on Facebook.

(508 posts)Completely legal, her and her mother have green cards, etc. but I'm real worried that the Nazi bastards will try and take them away. And if they do, there will be a fight. I mean physical. I will do what I need to do to protect them.
Last year, when stupid was running, he made a visit to our city. At the same time, across the street, there was a packet pick up thing for people who were running in our world renowned 7 mile race. My daughter was doing the kids version of the race so we went down there to pick up race packet for her. There was a mini spray park down there and like a lot of other kids, TJ decided to get wet and cool off. There was a trumpite down there who was saying hi to the people in line. When he got to me and TJ, he said, "She doesn't belong here. trump will take care of that." I offered to rip his head off of his shoulders and shove it straight up his ass. He accused us liberals of being "violent" and I told him that I will do whatever it takes to protect my daughter from pieces of shit like that. A cop came over and told that guy to move along before he arrested him.
Yeah, maybe I handled it wrong, but like I said, I will do whatever it takes to protect my family against these bastards.

(18,124 posts)ameriKKKa will reap what it has sown, this time. What I can't understand is that while white americans have ALWAYS been the responsible party for the mess, racially, historically that we are in today, white people of the hateful kind wants the racism and misery to continue. And it's not just a few miscreants perpetuating the hate and response to hate, but MILLIONS.....why?
This is unacceptable behavior in a so called civilized society, which in voting for a fuhrer, is NOT anymore. This is not my ameriKKKa that I fought for here and abroad, anymore. The new massas and misses are feeling their oats and wanting to return to ameriKKKa when it was great... I am sure it won't happen without a fight...this time. I won't take it.
