Dean of Journalism at the University of North Texas victim of racist police

[Spirit]

Well ... that's what she would have you believe.  The police car camera may claim otherwise.

Better step up your game, Florida!  Texas is gaining on you!

Wow. Those are the two nicest white racist pigs I've ever seen. 

[Blarg]

Southerners always have that hospitable sweet tea racism going for them. You can't even see it's there sometimes.

[Adam]

Hopefully with some rest, some prayer and several years of therapy Dr. Bland will be able to move on with her life in some capacity. 

[Adam]

She's going to need to lean on her friends like never before. 

[Blarg]

She is the Dean of journalism and can read between the lines. When the officers said a pickup truck was behind her, she knew it was a threat that next time she is seen walking in the neighborhood Billy Bob is going to run her down. When they said she should walk on the other side it is because that is the Blacks Only side of the street, she was on the Whites only side.

 

But the main reason they pulled her over was she was practicing Hands Up Don't Shoot and that just pisses off racial profiling cops.

[Blarg]

I think the College should consider giving her a time out in the corner for telling lies.

[TobiasFunke]

**** facebook shaming and **** this woman for doing so.

[Adam]

I don't want to live in a world where a graduate of the Harvard University Institute for Management and Leadership in Education is forced to listen to the compassionate concerns of two young white males. The fact that they didn't resist her request for photos and even moved a bit closer together is just a cherry on top of this David Duke Negro-Hating cake

[Blarg]

For a moment I thought they were going to go for a bro hug then they kind of uncomfortably drifted apart.

[Spirit]

Hopefully with some rest, some prayer and several years of therapy Dr. Bland will be able to move on with her life in some capacity. 

 

 

I can't imagine the burden this woman must carry with her everyday.  Living in an affluent neighborhood and not having any negative interactions with the local police.  I mean, just imagine!  There she is, wanting everyone to know that #BlackLivesMatter and having a local police department that completely agrees!  How horrible for her! 

[Crampknees]

There was a person in my neighborhood walking in the road and flapping their arms like her.  I helped her to the top of a tree and said now start walking and flapping your arms, you get better lift from up here. 

[Adam]

Geoff, do you have a link to her gofundme? My wife and I would like to donate. 

[Adam]

Hopefully the Federal Government steps up and gives this woman the check she's entitled to when she's the guest of honor at the White House. 

[Crampknees]

I don't agree with her bs crap she is spieling but those boys were a little bit bored and what not. 

[Spirit]

When is the beer summit at the White House? 

[arch stanton]

Who knew the University of North Texas had a school of journalism?

[Adam]

I don't agree with her bs crap she is spieling but those boys were a little bit bored and what not. 

 

A motorist (probably with a confederate flag license plate cover) couldn't get by her and saw the police and asked them to talk to her, (probably thinking they would shoot her black ass dead). 

[Spirit]

Ms. Bland had a class project yesterday where they released names of people associated with the KKK.  Her truth in reporting standards are something that's important for her to pass along to her students. 

[Adam]

I don't agree with her bs crap she is spieling but those boys were a little bit bored and what not. 

 

You've been in Texas way too long, my friend. 

[Spirit]

This is my favorite part of the article she submitted to the paper:  â€œDo you realize I bought the hoodie I was wearing after completing the Harvard University Institute for Management and Leadership in Education in 2014? Do you realize I have hosted gatherings for family, friends, faculty, staff and students in my home? Not once was a police officer called. To those officers, my education or property-owner status didn’t matter."

 

 

 

Soo ... if you're breaking the law, but own a house and graduated from an Ivy League school (and have a hoodie to prove it!), then society should just look the other way.  Got it.

[TobiasFunke]

She broke the law?

[red321]

She broke the law?

 

Walking while colored?

 

Officers were respectful, though I probably don't have a frame of reference...I've never been asked for my ID or information on where I live while walking, even the time I was pushing a drunk friend down the street in a shopping cart.

[Spirit]

Impeding traffic is a Class C misdemeanor.  But yeah ... she was not white so they should have just ignored it. 

[Spirit]

If only her affluent neighborhood had sidewalks for her to walk on.
