‘This is my America’: Miami doctor accused of attacking Hispanic manA Miami anesthesiologist is accused of attacking a Hispanic man at a grocery store, vandalizing his car and calling him a racial slur, authorities said. Jennifer Susan Wright, 58, of Miami Springs, was charged with criminal mischief, tampering with a victim and battery with prejudice, according to Miami-Dade County court records. The latter charge was classified a “hate crime,” which upgraded the charge to a felony, the Miami Herald reported. Wright, an anesthesiologist at Mount Sinai Medical Center, was arrested Friday in connection with the Jan. 20 incident. She posted bail and was unavailable for comment. According to police, Wright was shopping at a Publix grocery store in Hialeah. While waiting in line to pay, Wright was asked by a man in Spanish to maintain her distance, alleging she was breaking social distancing protocols by standing too close to him, the Herald reported. According to an arrest report, Wright began “mumbling bad words,” but the man ignored her and walked to his car. As the man began to load groceries into his vehicle, he was allegedly confronted by Wright, the Herald reported. When the man asked her to back up, Wright became even more enraged, according to the arrest report. Wright allegedly called the man a racial slur and said, “We should have gotten rid of you when we could.” According to the report, Wright also allegedly said, “This is not going to be (President Joe) Biden’s America, this is my America” and “we should have burned it all.” Rest of article here: link

Wow. As a patient, I'm not sure I'd want this woman on my surgical team. What happens when she decides she doesn't like me? Why do wealthy people in America have such hatred and venom against people who are little to no threat to them? That kind of anger seems to indicate fear --- why are wealthy Americans so very afraid  |

And the fact that they will soon be a minority scares a lot of them. |

That kind of anger seems to indicate fear --- why are wealthy Americans so very afraid They know what an illusion their superiority is and how fragile their status is. They know if the little people ever figure it out and can get their act together they lose everything. |

Will they really loose their "status" or their "power" or their "wealth" though? An anesthesiologist (from the OP) job has a salary across America of 250K to 500K (according to the Google). Are they worried they might have to eat the same thing twice in a row for lunch or dinner?? Or that they might no longer be able to 'remodel' their home every 3 or 4 years to keep up the current trends?? Or that their kid won't be able to go to a private school?

Or that their kid won't be able to go to a private school? they are absolutely worried that they will lose their status power and wealth.
the reasoning goes like this: Biden turns America into a multi-racial socialist utopia, built on the backs of rich folks like HER. she loses her income due to taxes, her standing in society due to her skin color, and her power in both of those senses, and politically.

But you need to listen to RW fear mongers to get there. They sell fake doom and gloom as a daily diet. |

The conversation I had with my father yesterday was kind of horrifying. I’m still processing it. Basically it’s that they can believe whatever they want, they don’t care about any other information, and the Democrats stole everything and better shut the fuck up and not say or do anything if they don’t want violence against them. Of course he doesn’t me me or my kids but can’t seem to see how the sentiment would put us in danger, but maybe if I’m scared I should think about which side started all of this.

There are seven panel discussions at the CPAC conservative conference on, quote, "protecting elections." Three of the subtitles: "The Left Pulled the Strings, Covered It Up, and Even Admits It." "Failed States (PA, GA, NV, oh my!)" "They Told Ya So: The Signs Were Always There.", "Other Culprits: Why Judges & Media Refused to Look at the Evidence."

But you need to listen to RW fear mongers to get there. They sell fake doom and gloom as a daily diet. Not really. I know plenty of people who have absorbed just through daily life the same message. Study after study shows that when gender/race is hidden from interviewers either through blind auditions or assigning a number rather than providing names women and minorities get MORE offers than white people in general and white men in particular. A mediocre white man right now has absolutely nothing to fear because he knows that he has been handed life on a silver platter. If the field is truly leveled all of a sudden he may have to actually work for what he has. That terrifies people, especially people who have for 500+ years been told that they are the basis upon which the entire human race is founded and judged worthy. It's a massive exitensal crisis. I was reading how to be an Anti-racist and he talked about we can't sit around waiting for people to have an epiphany. Laws need to be changed and then people will follow. The massive support for gay marriage did not come about because all those people saw the light. It came about because it was forced on them and they had to adjust, realized the world didn't end and moved on with their lives. Trump and Republicans promise you never have to do that. Democrats are big meanies who are going to make you face the fact you live in 2021 and not 1950. |

Except delete the "built on the backs of rich folks like her" part, replace "socialist utopia" with "true democracy" and "she loses her income due to taxes" with "she is taxed fairly". She doesn't want to have to play on a level playing field. |

I probably can't do nuance tonight after listening to a constantly yelling family member at work, but what I meant is that not all people who are white with an education and a really well paying job are running around worrying they are going to lose everything or lose lots. Some know the world needs to level up and be more fair and they might take it on the chin or not when that happens. Being alive does not give us the same experiences let alone the same views. |

There is a true intelligence vacuum going on in the ReTrumplican POP (Profits Over People or Power Over People) party. When you listen to some of these politicians talk you just can't help but wonder how in the hell these complete morons got elected.
And then you remember who their constituents are in Dumb Fucked America.

As Will Wheaton said, for people that claim to follow the bible not many of them seem to have read it.
