A Georgia couple is sued by a white tenant who says she was evicted after having African American guests

Allen McCoy denied the allegations and said he wasn't prejudiced.

(CNN) — A white woman in North Georgia has filed a housing discrimination suit against landlords who she says evicted her because she had African American guests over for a play date with her daughters, aged 2 and 9.

Victoria Sutton lived in a home in Adairsville, owned by Patricia and Allen McCoy, from August 2017 until December, when she says she moved out over concerns for her and her daughter's safety.

She lived there with her family, including her 2-year-old's father, her 9-year-old daughter and a 19-year-old niece.

According to a lawsuit filed Wednesday by lawyers from the ACLU of Georgia and the law firm Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll, in September, Sutton began inviting a black co-worker with a 5-year-old son to visit so their children could play.

After one of the playdates, the lawsuit says, Allen McCoy knocked on her door and used racial slurs to refer to African Americans.

He called her a "n***** lover," the suit says, and threatened to call Child Protective Services over her having a "n***** on their property."

According to the lawsuit, he told her she had two weeks to move out, adding that he'd previously evicted a woman who'd tried to let an African American person move in with her.

The landlords deny the allegations

Sutton later called her landlords, recording the phone conversation with Patricia McCoy, who told her, "I don't put up with n*****s in my [house], and I don't want them on my property," according to the lawsuit.

Allen McCoy denied the allegations to CNN affiliate WSB and said he wasn't prejudiced. "Some of the best friends I got is colored," he said.

Patricia McCoy also denied that she'd asked Sutton to move out over the race of her guests; rather, she cited damage to bathrooms, walls and doors in their rental property. However, the suit says that photographs of the property showed no such damage.

"Some of my best friends are black," she told WSB.

Sutton now lives in Calhoun, a town about 10 miles north of Adairsville, according to the lawsuit.

The suit alleges that the McCoys broke state and federal laws related to civil rights and fair housing. It is requesting compensation for damages related to emotional distress and the "diversion of resources" in having to move.

Sean J. Young, legal director for the ACLU of Georgia, filed the lawsuit on Sutton's behalf. He told CNN that he hadn't encountered another housing discrimination case in which he felt the evidence was so clear.

"Discriminatory motives are rarely spoken aloud and even more rarely caught on tape," he said. "People who discriminate are almost always able to come up with a neutral-sounding pretext for their discrimination."

He said it was important to work on the case because if the allegations were proved true, "it would be a stark reminder of the injustice that continues to thrive in Georgia today."

Young added that "housing discrimination is one of the most pernicious forms of discrimination today," that it contributes to inequality and that it can serve to limit the long-term dreams and aspirations of its victims.

"Where you live determines how you live," he said

Trump Called Racist After ‘Go Back’ Tweets at Congresswomen

www.msn.com

(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump was accused of being racist and divisive by many Democrats after suggesting that four female Democratic lawmakers, led by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, should return to the “broken and crime infested places from which they came.”

Three of the four women Trump was apparently referencing were born in the U.S.; none is white.

The comments, made in a three-tweet string early Sunday, seem aimed at first-term Representatives Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts. “The Squad,” as the progressive quartet is known, has been engaged in an intra-party dispute with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Trump said the lawmakers “originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe” and should go back and help fix the countries and “then come back and show us how it is done.”

Trump later returned to Twitter to say it was “sad to see the Democrats sticking up for people who speak so badly of our Country and who, in addition, hate Israel.”

His comments come as U.S. immigration officials prepare to conduct raids in about ten cities around the U.S. to round up individuals who’ve received deportation orders, and as reports continue to circulate about poor conditions for migrants in U.S. detention facilities on the U.S. border with Mexico.

In response, Pelosi called the tweets “xenophobic comments meant to divide our nation,” and Democratic Representative Ben Ray Lujan of New Mexico decried “a racist tweet from a racist president.”

Ocasio-Cortez sent four tweets of her own, saying Trump was “angry” because he doesn’t “believe in an America” where women like those in the Squad are elected to Congress.

“You are angry because you can’t conceive of an America that includes us. You rely on a frightened America for your plunder,” she said.

Pressley said on Twitter “THIS is what racism looks like. WE are what democracy looks like. And we’re not going anywhere.”

Omar said Trump was “stoking white nationalism bc you are angry that people like us are serving in Congress and fighting against your hate-filled agenda.”

Tlaib was also blunt: “Want a response to a lawless & complete failure of a President?”’ she tweeted. “He is the crisis. His dangerous ideology is the crisis.”

Democratic presidential hopefuls also weighed in. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said that “unfortunately, there’s an American tradition of telling people to go back to where they came from” and that Trump was trying to “gin up his base” by keeping Americans divided.

“You don’t expect to hear it from the president of the United States,” de Blasio said on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday.

Lujan, assistant Speaker and a member of the Hispanic Caucus in the House, became emotional on “Fox News Sunday” when shown Trump’s tweet. “That is a racist tweet. Telling people to go back where they came from? I think that’s wrong,” he said.

Representative Brendan Boyle, a Pennsylvania Democrat, noted in a tweet that “I’m young, from an immigrant family, also very critical of Trump. Funny thing though, he never tells me to ‘go back where I come from.’ Hmm I wonder why?”

Republicans were mostly silent. Joe Walsh, a former GOP representative from Illinois who’s now a commentator and often a critic of the president, said that “To say ‘go back to where you came from’ is gross. It’s offensive, ignorant, anti-American, and racist.”

Pelosi last week told the New York Times that the vocal freshmen lawmakers were just “four people” among the Democratic House majority after a party split over a $4.6 billion border funding bill.

Among the lawmakers implied in Trump’s tweet, only one -- Omar, 37 -- was born outside the U.S. She migrated as a young girl with her Somalian family after spending four years in a refugee camp. Tlaib, 42, the first Palestinian-American woman elected to Congress, was born in Detroit.

African-American Pressley, 45, was born in Cincinnati and raised in Chicago. Ocasio-Cortez, 29, was born in New York to parents of Puerto Rican origin.

Trump’s comments echo the bigoted shouts that minorities hear daily to “go back where you came from,” said Nihad Awad, national executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

“If Trump shouted the same thing at a Muslim woman wearing hijab in a Walmart, he might be arrested,” Awad said in a statement.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, defeated by Trump in 2016, also responded to Trump’s tweet: “They’re from America, and you’re right about one thing: Currently their government is a complete and utter catastrophe.”

Viewers have accused the Today Show of racism after they gave Pauline Hanson and radio presenter Steve Price a platform to debate the impending closure of Uluru
The One Nation leader compared closing the sacred rock to the public with shutting down Bondi Beach, and justified her desire to keep it a tourist hot spot by arguing 'we've been climbing Ayers Rock, or Uluru, for many years'.

People who watched the segment shared their sentiments on Twitter, accusing the morning breakfast program of having 'ulterior motives' for airing the comments without any input from a member of the indigenous community.

'Let's talk Uluru climbing with… Pauline Hanson and Steve Price. Couldn't they find anyone whiter?,' one comment read

'I can only conclude that the reason the Today Show continues to provide Pauline Hanson with a platform is because they endorse her putrid, racist bile and want to ensure it gets wide coverage,' another user wrote.

The decision to have three white Australians discussing the matter without seeking advice or the opinions of members of the indigenous community was deemed insensitive.

'Omitting that factual dimension of the story is not reporting, its participation in a pantomime,' one person wrote.

More than five hours after the initial debate, Today included a second segment on the topic allowing indigenous entertainment reporter Brooke Boney to weigh in on the discussion.

'This is about indigenous people having some sort of say over what happens on their land and their sacred sites,' she said
'The thing about the rock is that it is so sacred to them that every time someone gets injured, hurt or has to be injured out it hurts them and they say their ancestors mourn the loss of those people.

'They're not doing it to be nasty or protective, they're doing it to protect others because it is really dangerous.'

She said the custodians of the land don't hate tourism or the economy, and that they encourage people to still come to the rock and hike around it, rather than on it.

Senator Hanson said she was concerned about the loss of jobs closing down the site would result in. 

She said she, for one, would not visit the Red Centre if she didn't have the option to climb Uluru, but schedule permitting, would aim to do so before its closure in October

Forget White Australians have a valid point of view on this topic and the impact it will have on local economy. It’s the “Abo’s” land and only what they want matters. Visitors already need pay a fee to the Abos to be there.

A white German businessman was viciously beaten up and his top black model girlfriend brutally battered and left with a broken leg in an alleged racist attack by star rugby players

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7248009/Black-model-beaten-left-broken-leg-white-boyfriend-knocked-out.html

Film star and catwalk queen Mirriam Ngomani and husband-to-be Tobias Zehetleitner had been enjoying a night out at a casino in Pretoria, South Africa, when they were targeted.

The model's agent says the group of at least five white men who attacked them are well known patrons of the glitzy casino and players from a 'famous rugby club

The couple were in the queue to cash up their winnings at the exclusive Time Square Casino at 3am on July 11  when a white man flicked a lit cigarette towards Ms Ngomani

German Mr Zehetleitner, 36, is the chief executive officer of the charity TMT Sports Group which was founded by his fiancée and helps poor children in townships.

He said at the time of the attack he was holding his fiancée's hand.

He said: 'I went over and asked this guy what his problem was and he pointed straight at Mirriam and said "What's wrong with you man? You are dating a baboon, a monkey".

'Two of his white friends pulled him away but after we had cashed our winnings we had to walk past six or seven of these white guys and one called her "kaffir" and "black b****".

Mr Zehetleitner said when he confronted the group to explain their racist remarks they attacked.   

'Three jumped on me and all and were giving me a kicking on the ground and I saw Mirriam being attacked so shrugged these three off and bundled a couple of guys off of my fiancée.

'Then they all attacked me at once. I can handle three but five or six or seven or however many it was was too much and I was beaten unconscious and when I came round they had all gone.
When he came to, Mr Zehetleitner, found his partner in agony, with her left leg badly broken.

'The foot was pointing away at 90 degrees and she had been slapped round the face and been kicked.

'She is in so much agony and has so many painkillers and has just had a major operation to fix her leg but the obvious fear for her as a model is will she be scarred or left with a limp


Mr Zehetleitner, who is originally from Munich, said because the men were believed to be well-known sportsmen he expected an arrest would be made 'very quickly'. 

He said he'd gotten his lawyers involved and was prepared to 'ruin their careers because they had no qualms about trying to ruin Mirriam's'.     

'I have been asked not to say more until the police are ready to make arrests but these guys are rugby players from a well known rugby team so this is all very sensitive.

Because of the attack, Mr Zehetleitner said they had postponed their wedding.

He said it was not the first time they had been subjected to racist abuse in the area.

'As an interracial couple we have never had any trouble in townships or in Cape Town or Johannesburg, but in Pretoria where we both live we get vile racist abuse all the time.

'So many people see it is as wrong for a black woman and a white man to be together. How in this age can people call a black woman a baboon or a monkey or use the K-word?'

'It is just so wrong to have to put up with this sort of racial abuse.'

Time Square Casino confirmed an attack took place at the entrance to the casino and general manager Brett Hoppe said: 'Paramedics treated an injured woman at the on-site clinic'.

He said CCTV showed the first security officer was on scene within 20 seconds and within a minute he had been joined by six others who intervened.

Mr Hoppe said: 'Time Square is currently reviewing all the CCTV footage for an internal investigation and we are supporting South African Police Service in their investigation

Noose found hanging in Brookfield family's front yard

Brookfield mayor condemns action

Hillary Mintz   
Reporter
BROOKFIELD, Wis. —

A noose was found Friday night hanging in the front yard of a Brookfield home, police said.

"That's a hate crime. I don't care for that at all," neighbor Dave Mayberry said,

Police told WISN 12 News that a neighbor, who made a Facebook post that went viral, spotted the noose near Westmoor Drive and Bluemound Road about 6:30 p.m. Friday.

Officers then removed the rope for evidence.

Police said they're still trying to figure out who put up the noose and why, but they said the hate crime will not be tolerated.

Officers also said the homeowners, who are Asian, recently had a family member die from suicide by hanging.

They are not sure if this act is connected to the suicide or if it's racially motivated.

"That's thought out. You just don't do that. Somebody thought of that, planned it and did, and I just hope they catch them," Mayberry said.

The man who found the noose told WISN 12 News he has hired an attorney and would not comment.

Brookfield Mayor Steve Ponto said he's outraged.

"I don't know who did it or what their motivation was. I can just say I unequivocally condemn it, and I think that it has no place in our community or any other community," Ponto said.

Police told WISN 12 News the incident remains under investigation.

Officers are still working on tracking down any witnesses or surveillance that could help with the case.
