"I am a white woman! There is only one race!"


?s=20




During a press conference in support of Minnesota state Rep. John Thompson (D) at the Capitol in St. Paul on Monday, a woman drove an SUV over the Capitol lawn, shocking attendees and other onlookers. A large flag reading “TRUMP 2024: Make Votes Count Again” was sticking out of the driver’s side window.

Police stopped the woman, who refused to exit the vehicle as she smoked a cigarette and was holding what appeared to be a Bible. She was eventually taken into custody.

A KARE 11 reporter quoted the woman as saying, “I am a white woman! There is only one race!”

Somehow, I expected more from someone with such high post count. But what I saw was a very non - apologetic instant judgemental decision coupled with an inability to reflect on her decisions. In other words, a self righteous man hater.

No imagination needed, you have provided all the details.

let a black person smoke a cigarette and refuse to get out of the car, they wouldn't get one puff in.

. . . Because they ARE the bottom of the barrel, and life keeps reminding them of that fact. So they search desperately for anything upon which to hang their meager self-esteem. Thus, the elevation of Whiteness--their Whiteness--into some sort of accomplishment or unassailable virtue.

If that was a bunch of white people holding a press conference on the Capitol steps, you can bet there would be a strong police presence.

Please tell me this racist piece of shit was arrested? Please!

what charges she faces. That's definitely a hate crime, in addition to resisting arrest, and several other DMV infractions.

She's mentally I'll, but that's MF45's cult in action, right there. MF45 emboldened these half-wits to do stuff like this.

Understand their pain and confusion. Because they're special. They're hard-working, salt-of-the-earth-type people. (You know, morons.)

Let her decide if and when to exit the vehicle.

I'd recommend tossing a tear gas canister in the back seat to help the poor dear clarify her thought processes.

Without being SHOT? She knew her skin would protect her. I don't believe crap like this is going to stop until these people are treated as the clear and present danger that they are - until they are met with justified lethal force.
