Thanks to white privilege, another white woman who assaulted a Black woman is getting grace that they don’t deserve. When Trump supporters stormed the state capitol in Washington D.C after he claimed the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him, an activist named Keren Prescott went to the capitol to protest as well. As she yelled “Black lives matter,” she claimed that a white woman named Yuliya Gishteyn responded, “All lives matter,” and this led to a verbal dispute. Prescott then told Gishteyn to socially distance because she wasn’t wearing a mask. Gishteyn then spit in her face, which was caught on video.

Gishteyn was charged with deprivation of rights, third-degree criminal attempt to commit assault, first-degree reckless endangerment and risk of injury to a child, the Associated Press reported. In court on July 21, she was only ordered to enroll in a special program for first time offenders. Gishteyn will have two years to complete 100 hours of anti-hate courses and she will have a clear criminal record once the courses are completed. Gishteyn apologized to Prescott while in court and said that her actions were “completely out of character.

sounds like Yuliya handled a situation with an angry Karen (spelled Keren).

Police who rescued the family found them close to death and in a "very pathetic condition" after they locked themselves in a tent for almost 15 months after a neighbour died from COVID-19.

Redskins, now Indians.

lol

Pretty soon the leftist mobs will completely eradicate any traces of Native references. Not Native, but honestly if I had major sport teams named after my culture or identity to me that would be a great honor. I really don't understand this.

How many polled fans are Native American? And no Lizzy Warren doesnt count

our local tribe was polled and it came out like 70% to keep our highschool named "indians", and that was constant for decades, they kept polling area native tribes.

but a state directive killed it, so we're no longer the indians, now the pumas. fucking lame.

indians in wisconsin = nearly extinct, only a small habitat

pumas in wisconsin = extinct, no permanent habitat

Relavent

ive met more white people offended by the word indian on behalf of indians than i have of indians who are offended. and i grew up in a location with like 10-25% indians in our graduating class depending on year.

im sure there are places where reaction is quite militant, and people overall still usually prefer natives as a term, but its not as offensives as some people think. lots i know still see "natives" as a pandering term like "african american".

I think what some of these sensitivity crusaders are missing is what do these words mean to me people and do they associate them with some sort of insult/trying to degrade someone or not. When I think of the word Indian in the context of America, I basically see some group people, varying by tribe, geography, etc. that were the natives to this continent pre colonial time. Many died, many killed, some assimilated. Some of my knowledge is influenced by movies and books and American history education. I have never thoughtwhen I heard this word, and similar ones like redskin or whatever that they're designated as insults or to degrade these groups.

Like i'm trying to place myself in the shoes of some racist KKK type. Would I be thinking, fuck yeah lets name all of these major sporting teams after groups we absolutely hate and want to eradicate. Like what? to me that's illogical, if I was such a person I would never want to empower a group by giving them such positive publicity. If you're an anti-native racist living in Cleveland do you want to be celebrating the 'Indians' at the local bar when they win a playoff series?
