Peeples believe that the women – whom he identified on GoFundMe as Deborah Nash, Jennifer Morris and Martha Callahan – did not like his project in the park that was located across the street from Nash’s home. > > The women began to call the police about him, but after the police wouldn’t respond to allegations of illegal gardening (like, how, Sway), the women escalated their behavior, accusing Peeples of serious allegations. At one point the women accused Peeples of threatening Nash with a gun in the park, in another incident they accused him of taking part in a drive-by shooting. In another particularly horrific incident, the women waited until Peeples had children with him working in the garden and accused him of being a pedophile. > > … > > “[The three white women] should be sitting at the defendant’s table for stalking and harassment charges, not Mr. Peeples,” Judge Bryant said at a hearing. “This is disgusting and a waste of the court’s time and resources,” she added before granting the defense’s motion for a directed verdict, which ended the case before it went in front of a jury.” Jeebus America, some people are black. GET OVER IT. ---

The Tiny-Handed Tyrant still believes his predecessor wasn’t a US citizen and that five teenage boys that have been completely exonerated are still guilty of rape and should be executed. He’s called those that have shot at and beaten black people “very fine people”. Of course the shitheads think this is ok - America elected their drunken uncle to the highest office. ---

GET OVER IT. Oh, this country’s just getting started. I warned back on election night that this country was going back to the Jim Crow era. Understand that the assault on voter rights isn’t just an attempt to keep blacks from voting; it’s the first step in an attempt to restore the white pecking order, along with immigration restrictions. People don’t see it now, but in about 5-10 years time, the results will be more obvious in some regions of the country. ---

It’s not Trump, it’s whose supporting Trump. In a sense, American capitalism, American oligarchy depends on racial conflict. It needs race-based hierarchy and racial conflict in order to survive. If ordinary folk are spending their time fighting each other, they’re spending less time holding the oligarchs accountable and demanding a fairer society. Expect this not only to continue, but to worsen. ---

He’s a condescending limey idiot who makes these posts in order to feel superior, all the while ignoring the irony that the subjugation of African peoples was the work of his ilk. Racism? Shit, you fuckheads invented it. Go cry about Brexit somewhere, you fucking dink. ---

Racism? Shit, you fuckheads invented it. Go cry about Brexit somewhere, you fucking dink. Yes, but the UK has probably done a better job of dealing with racism than the US, which still uses a constitution that is inherently racist and established a racist economic, political, and social framework. And we’re naive if you think we’ve somehow improved the constitution to remove the stains of racism. They’re still there, still obvious, if we would just acknowledge it. ---

Just a couple samples of the o.p.’s genuine concern for the rights and recognition pf all peoples: [THREAD=850391]Next shithole: South Africa?[/THREAD] [THREAD=841218]South Africa going the way of Zimbabwe?[/THREAD] I rarely bother enough to pay attention or track particular posters unless they have some special are of knowledge or expertise I find interesting, bit when I see the o.p. authoring a thread I know that it will be something of breathtaking obtusity and astonishing stupidity. He is like the parody of a self-entitled Englishman with a monocle making pronouncements about the ‘proper way’ of conducting one’s self while [THREAD=834102]passive-aggressively admonishing the waitstaff for the quality of the food by leaving an “insult tip”.[/THREAD] He also has a [THREAD=857968]fixation on rape and false accusations[/THREAD], and making sure that [THREAD=851580]men don’t get the short straw in issues of gender equality[/THREAD] because that is a real problem in modern society where men are routinely denied occupational and educational opportunities.

I’m sure the OP thinks he stumbled on some sort of cataclysmic “gotcha” for liberals — hey, here’s a story about white women falsely accusing a black man of crimes. Because his stupid right wing bubble pea brain has convinced him that ALL liberals think every accusation made by a a white woman is true. Because his stupid right wing bubble pea brain has convinced him that ALL liberals think black men are always innocent of everything. So this idiot thinks he’s going to make everyone’s heads explode with his brilliance. Yawn. And Quartz, go fuck yourself. ---

> [@BlankSlate](#): > > He’s a condescending limey idiot who makes these posts in order to feel superior, all the while ignoring the irony that the subjugation of African peoples was the work of his ilk. Thank you for displaying your ignorance. Do you know that those African slaves were sold to European slavers by Africans? Do you know that slavery in the Old World was endemic all over until very recently? Do you know that the experience of enslaved Africans was nothing special? Read up on Roman slavery sometime. Or Persian slavery. Or Chinese slavery. Indeed you might care to read up on the Arab slave trade on the East coast, where male black African slaves were routinely castrated - by the African slavers - before sale to the Arabs. ---

Can someone please explain to me just why you’re all slagging off the UK because Quartz is a prick? I don’t call the whole of the US cunts just because you’ve got Trump, Bannon, and the like. Show me a nation that doesn’t have the odd bell end.
