       properties in Southeastern Virginia worth over $5 million, has
       had over a dozen arrests in the past two decades for threats and
       assaults, been cited hundreds of times by local city governments
       for code violations, and was suspended repeatedly from a local
       housing authority for dilapidated Section 8 rentals, according
       to city records obtained by The Daily Beast and court filings.

       racist language towards the low-income, mostly Black tenants he
       rents to in Virginia, Merryman’s response to The Daily Beast is:
       “I used to date a Black girl.”

       > The AG’s suit against Merryman alleges that he rented
       “substandard” units to tenants in Newport News and promised to
       make repairs on the homes after they signed their lease and paid
       their deposit. But instead, he never made good on those
       promises.
       >
       > When tenants complained about leaks, sewage problems, or
       severe structural or electrical issues, Merryman allegedly began
       a campaign of “abusive, racist, sexist and otherwise unlawful
       behavior,” the suit said. When Black tenants reported issues,
       the suit alleges he dropped the n-word with abandon and
       allegedly told complaining tenants, “that’s how you Black people
       act” and “that’s the problem with you Black people.”
       >
       > There have been “dozens” of calls to the police by Merryman’s
       tenants, asking for protection after alleged instances of him
       threatening them, stealing property, or attempting to illegally
       evict them, the suit said.
       > ...
       > Merryman allegedly told Black city employees in Newport News
       that they were only inspecting his properties because “Black
       lives matter,” the suit says. It also says Black employees have
       seen and reported Merryman for referring to his Black tenants as
       “n----s” and some of those Black employees called police when
       they visited property owned by Merryman to ensure they’d be
       safe.
       >
       > In 2019, Merryman had a public spat in city hall with the
       Newport News director of code compliance, Harold Roach Jr., the
       Daily Press reported. Merryman and Roach allegedly argued over
       what he believed to be the city’s targeting of him for his
       dilapidated properties. In a video of the confrontation, Roach
       accuses Merryman of calling him the n-word multiple times on the
       phone and seems incensed. “All you have to do is lay your hands
       on me,” he says. The Daily Press reported that Roach was later
       suspended for the incident.
       > ...

       General using his resources to investigate him, he should
       investigate the government for continuing to allow renters to
       get moratoriums on rent due to pandemic hardships and
       unemployment benefits. “It shouldn’t take a guy who owns 90
       rental houses to figure out, duh, if everybody would get back to
       work and if Congress would get people working, they could pay
       their rent and they wouldn’t be going belly-up.”
       >
       > His logic is particularly ironic, given that in 2014, Merryman
       pleaded guilty in federal court to claiming nearly $30,000 in
       fraudulent unemployment benefits in 2009 and 2010, despite the
       fact that he earned over $250,000 a year in income and was
       managing a stable of high-earning rental properties in the
       state, according to federal court filings.

       This is a good example of the false equivalency that exists in
       racists' minds. The bullies almost certainly got the idea from
       BLM supporters kneeling to the US anthem. But BLM supporters
       kneel to the US anthem to highlight the violence initiated
       against "black" Americans by a government that uses this anthem.
       In contrast, what violence has been initiated under the
       following song (which is not even a government-affiliated song)?

       Back in the Counterculture era, we used to naively believe that
       pop music would end racism because the same melody can have
       lyrics in many languages, thus bringing together fans of the
       song from different parts of the world. Not any more. The only
       way to end racism is eliminate all racist bloodlines.

       By the way, Lawrence and Lambre get almost all their commentary
       wrong in this clip.
       1) School bullies do not grow up to become failures (at least
       not in Western society), quite the contrary:

  HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/human-evolution/non-aryan-aggressiveness/msg3556/#msg3556
       2) Racism is not learned, nor can it be educated away:
  HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/true-left-vs-false-left/superiority-cannot-be-taught/
       The only part of their commentary I support is from 6:29
       onwards. Lambre even admits he is not being progressive. So will
       he eventually figure out progressivism is wrong? As for
       Lawrence, she should remember that she is a lawyer of Western
       law only, and perhaps should expand her horizons with
       non-Western law:

       to get out of this neighborhood because you’re making a lot of

       this neighborhood. He said, ‘You don’t live here, and if I catch
       you, I’m gonna do something to you.’”

       parking his pickup truck about 50 feet behind Reed and getting
       out. When Reed took out his cellphone to record the man, who was
       later identified as Collin Fries, he began calling Reed the
       N-word. Witnesses told local station Fox26 Fries repeatedly said
       the offensive word before charging Reed and attacking him.

       who is white, chased the victim from the road to the sidewalk
       before catching him and punching him. Reed told KTRK that was
       “the last thing I remember.” That’s because witnesses told
       authorities that Fries continuously punched Reed, a total of 12
       times, even after he fell unconscious.
       >

       fractured cheekbone, a burst blood vessel in his eye, which he

       more than a dozen stitches to his face.

       attacked because he Black.” She added, “I don’t care where you
       live, you don’t deserve to be disrespected by the color of your
       skin.” Fries reportedly was arrested and released on a bond of
       $100 after being charged with misdemeanor aggravated assault, a
       charge Angie Reed called “insulting and disrespectful.”
