There are solely two days left of Black History Month 2026 and sadly, tales like this are nonetheless proliferating the information cycle.
According to The Grio, two white males, one proudly rocking a crimson MAGA hat, have been arrested and charged with hate crimes after assaulting and berating a Black girl in New York City with bigotry.
33-year-old Michael James and his roommate, 31-year-old Michael Santiago, had been seen on video accosting a 54-year-old girl and asking for a kiss whereas live-streaming by way of cellphone.
When the lady declined, one in every of them tried the kiss anyway and was pushed away. Subsequently, one of many males tried to set her boots on hearth whereas she was carrying them. The video reveals the boys making inappropriate sexual remarks whereas calling her “slave” and the n-word.
“I need to f*** a slave, be my slave,” he says, whereas leaning in the direction of her.
“I’ll by no means,” she replies.
Moments later, he asks to kiss her boots.
“Of course, then do it,” the lady responds. “Kiss my boots.”
The video was posted and reposted to social media by right-wing rage bait accounts to stoke the flames of hatred and immediate engagement.
As of this previous Wednesday, each males had been positioned and handcuffed.
The males had been in the end charged with assault and legal mischief, each of that are hate crimes, along with expenses of aggravated harassment, assault, misdemeanor, menacing, legal mischief, arson, and legal tampering.
While any non-melanated particular person could possibly be a racist POS, it comes as no shock in any way that these two males are devotees of Donald Trump. I feel the outdated adage will eternally maintain up, “Not each Republican is racist, however every racist is Republican.”
