UN admits refugees have faced racism at Ukraine borders
Hey UNâŚ
https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/01/politics/house-passes-emmett-till-antilynching-act/index.html
Anti-lynching legislation is not a new proposal on the House floor. Rush said there have been more than 200 attempts to pass federal anti-lynching law.
Weâll see if it can get through the Senate nowâŚ
Grrrrr
NYT put a picture of Venus Williams in an article on Serena Williams.

Racist coverage of the invasion of Ukraine, where some refugees are being subjected to racist policies and actions. Talk about making a bad situation even worseâŚ
Trevor Noah had a great take on this, too:
Sara Sidner of CNN has been doing a good job of covering the issues of POC trying to evacuate Ukraine. At one point, an EU rep tried to brush off her questions with a âfake newsâ response and told her that there wasnât evidence of systemic racism. Yeah, she wasnât taking any of that crap.
To EU spokespudding: Nice backpedal. What are you doing about it, asshole?
Once more, some accountability is certainly a step up, but not sufficient. I guess we accept steps in the right direction.
Yes!

and william barr is using his book tour to push back hard on the idea of systemic racism and vociferously denying there is any racism existent in american policing. repeatedly implying that police kill more blacks because more blacks commit crimes and more blacks resist police authority. what a bastard.
