A new system to flag racist incidents and acts of hate is named after Emmett Till



LINK

Maryland has seen a slew of racist incidents over the last year — including targeted bomb threats at three Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and vandals writing messages of hate on the doors of a church. Now, the state has launched an alert system to flag racist incidents and acts of hate.

The Emmett Till Alerts system, named in honor of the 14-year-old who was abducted, tortured and killed in 1955 after being accused of whistling at a white woman, will act as a warning system if credible threats are made.

"When the FBI director said often that the greatest domestic terrorism threat is white supremacists, we have to take hate crimes and terrorist threats seriously," said Carl Snowden of the Caucus of African American Leaders of Anne Arundel County, Md., during a news conference announcing the system.

The new warning system, which went into effect this week, will notify Black leaders across Maryland of any credible racist incidents or hate crimes that take place anywhere in the state.

Will it send an alert when the incident is proven false and committed by a black person like 100% of them are?

What about black on white or black on asian racist incidents? Do those get reported to "Black leaders" as well?

Meh, since all reasonable people know this by now, it would be redundant.

However, the very fair (and supportable) position you raise does beg the question as to why the alert system is being done. I suppose someone is going to make that government buck for it. Probably no more complicated than that.

Do the levels have names like Big Mike Brown, Trayvon Williams, Alton Sterling, etc, to denote the level of crime the deceased was committing at time of death?

Here we are folks. Wrapping up 2022 and proclaiming hate crimes are a national security risk. Also, 99% of the time, these hate crimes are entirely fabricated.

Also strange that it only alerts black leaders. Seems like you would want all leaders aware of crimes.


I look forward to the alert of a new poop swastika.

Next time we have a TP shortage, I may need to do that rather than use the seashells.

Conveniently, black on white, and black on asian violent crime which occurs far more frequently is not mentioned here.

Classic gaslighting of the population.

In todays world, being truly "Woke" means realizing the evil behind the current social justice movement.

If it only targets, or notifies, leaders based on skin color, that is the definition of racist.
