The Morning Report 1/17/17
Good morning, kids. The one item that stands out is the story about some thug who accosted an interracial couple enjoying a quiet meal by spouting off excerpts from the Nuremberg Laws in Ebonics. But in Obama's Amerika, punching the miscreant's lights out would be the hate crime that sends you to the gulag. The restraint the gentleman had is incredible considering the fear and disgust you could see on his girlfriend's face. Personally, I blame society: the Great Society, to be precise and pig-ignorant stooges like John Lewis for inflicting it on all of us. Other than that, I meant to post something about the life of Steven McDonald a few days ago but got sidetracked. New Yorkers will remember him for being left a quadriplegic after being shot by a robbery suspect, but his life afterwards is a testament to greatness. Thanks to Mindful Webworker for the SCOAMF countdown art. Have a better one and remain blessed.
UPDATE: I'm now unsure about the veracity of the video purporting to show the harassment of an interracial couple. We don't know where and when this happened, and that should've been a red flag for me. I'll keep it up but take it under advisement.
