White people don’t want you to talk about racism. It doesn’t matter that there have been years of institutionalized racism and systemic bias that still continue today. The fact that you, a black person, would even bother bringing it up or talking about it makes you the real racist.


quote:

When a friend of hers shared a NorthJersey.com article on Facebook which announced that Fair Lawn schools would be employing armed police officers to guard campuses, Davis responded with a comment from her personal Facebook account which asked, “Who is going to train them not to shoot black children first?!?”




quote:

Even after she apologized, however, RWJBH still placed Davis on administrative leave as of late Thursday afternoon, pending an investigation into the Facebook comment.

I am not sure how she thought that a comment like that wouldn't get backlash over

Instead of logic, she allowed her emotions to do the thinking

If a white person would have sarcastically said that identical thing to make the opposite point on that same picture I would support a suspension.

Fire this idiot. If there was a live shooter at the school she'd be damn glad those officers are there regardless of color or her bullshite narrative.

This is why you ALWAYS assume that any fb post or comment you make....can potentially be seen by your employer.

That's why I don't have Facebook. I turned it off during the 2016 election. I have Twitter but it's mostly for news.

I mean...how dumb is this woman? You are in a corporate leadership position. Even more reason to either not have social media if you can't be reasonable or to be very mindful of what you do post on social media.

She is stupid.

I'm in a quasi leadership role and I know that I'd eventually mouth off to someone on Facebook. I've seen me do it. It's best that I just don't have it

Actually surprised it got any backlash, I thought they were free to be openly racist.

what she said may have been poor decision making, but punishing her is absolutely asinine and evil. How can any of you think you are all about freedom yet be okay with someone being punished for what they say?

It really has nothing to do with race.. Well, her comment does, but I am referring to the reason why she got suspended.

She is feeding "rat poison" to black kids. The police officers are there to keep the school safe. She puts out that type of bullshite and the black kids will be more likely to be disrespectful towards the officers, which could only escalate the situation, etc.

Pull the police officers from the site.. And if a shooter comes on campus, let's see if she still has a problem with the officers on campus.

Someone should have replied "it better not be other black students because they will just learn how to shoot each other".


I don't say this as a racist comment. I hate to even make this statement, but I am not at all a racist, however; I am a "realist" and when people post stupid shite, they deserve to be called out on it.

If a white guy said it. I would have laughed at it because he was joking.

Instead I'm laughing at her because she's serious.
