'THAT'S RACIST!' The Incessant Scream from MSM ...

The photo has evoked horror and disgust around the world. Flanked by two mounted white police officers leading him by a rope, the African-American man walks wearily but obediently down a busy street, hands cuffed behind his back

Black criminal being escorted by White policemen.
If it was a White criminal with a Black police escort, would it even make the news?

The rope, gripped by one of the officers, is clipped to his handcuffs.

Donald Neely, dishevelled, unshaven, homeless and mentally ill, cut a pitiful figure against the two officers, wearing white stetson hats like the 'good guys' in cowboy films when the picture was taken last Saturday.

His alleged offence was trivial: criminal trespass in a commercial area of the island city of Galveston, Texas

Police say he had been repeatedly warned not to trespass, the last time only two weeks previously, before they apprehended him.

However, they would also have known that Mr Neely suffers from bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and regularly sleeps on the streets.

More to the point, says his lawyer, they knew he was compliant and would hardly need to be tethered with a rope.

Even leaving aside Galveston's long and ugly history of slavery, the sight evoked grim parallels.


As some noted in dismay, fugitive slaves used to be marched publicly back to their owners by rope or chain.

The tableau also had echoes of the dreaded Ku Klux Klan, whose members originally rode out on horseback to lynch black people. Texas has long been a hotbed of the race-hate group, whose enduring grip on the Deep South was laid bare in the 1988 film Mississippi Burning, starring Gene Hackman and Willem Dafoe.

Mr Neely's family, lawyer and local activists all insist a white suspect would never have been treated in such a way.

Even if, as seems unlikely, the two officers weren't aware of Galveston's history of slavery, what were they thinking in pulling a black man down a street by a rope, like an animal?

'They should have never did what they did, put a black man in between two horsemen that are white,' said Mr Neely's sister, Taranette.

In a jarring irony, the outcry coincided with news of the death of Toni Morrison, the African-American author who wrote so compellingly about racism and her country's toxic legacy of slavery. In her most acclaimed book, Beloved, an escaped slave kills her young daughter to save the child from a life in bondage

'We are honoured to tell Anne's story. We say NO to hate.'

Mrs Knight and her husband has since cleaned up by the graffiti after reporting it to police who are investigating.

'The despicable vandalism just underlines the fact that stories such as Anne Frank's still need telling. Today's matinee was virtually sold out and the audience was hugely complimentary,' a follow up post read

Chairman of the Anti-Defamation Commission Dr Dvir Abramovich will be visiting the theatre company to meet with the cast and crew.

'This shameful and cowardly desecration of Holocaust remembrance is clearly driven by hate-mongers and bigots who wish to destroy Anne Franks' enduring legacy and her words of courage and hope that have inspired so many around the world,' he said.

'This is also an attack on the memory of the 1.5 million Jewish children murdered by the Nazis and will shock the conscience of every Australia.'

Dr Abramovich said anti-Semitic sentiment and vandalism was becoming a worrying trend in Melbourne
'These despicable and chilling incidents of antisemitism and swastika vandalization, that are spreading like wildfire throughout Melbourne, are of grave concern and point to the dangerous uptick in prejudice and intolerance infecting our nation,' he said.

'Now, more than ever, we need to ensure that educational programs about the Holocaust and the dangers of racism are widely taught in schools.'

A Victoria Police spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia an investigation into the alleged incident has been launched. 

Anne Frank, a German-born Jewish girl, is one of the most enduring faces of the holocaust.

The young girl fled with her family to the Netherlands soon after the outbreak of the second World War.

Sadly Anne and her family were discovered two years later by the occupying Nazi forces after they had invaded the Netherlands.

Anne and her family were arrested and transported to the most notorious concentration camp of the war, Auschwitz.

She would later be transferred to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp with her sister Margot, where both died after contracting typhus.

Anne had taken up writing a diary prior to the outbreak of the war and continued to write up until the day of her capture which has helped her legacy endure.

A play was written around the tragic events of Anne's life, titled The Diary of Anne Frank, which has played across the world and won a Pulitzer Prize for its creators, Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett. 

The Diary of Anne Frank will play at the Peridot Theatre Company until August 24

Critics have hit out at Government plans to put knife crime stories on fried chicken boxes to deter young people carrying weapons - branding the initiative 'borderline racist'

More than 321,000 chicken boxes have been distributed to more than 210 outlets in England and Wales as part of the Home Office's #knifefree campaign.

The boxes' insides feature real life stories of young people who have chosen to pursue positive activities, such as boxing or music, instead of carrying a knife.

The containers will replace the standard packaging at both independent and branched owned shops, including Morley's, Chicken Cottage and Dixy Chicken.
Policing Minister Kit Malthouse said: 'These chicken boxes will bring home to thousands of young people the tragic consequences of carrying a knife and challenge the idea that it makes you safer.

'The Government is doing everything it can to tackle the senseless violence that is traumatising communities and claiming too many young lives, including bolstering the police's ranks with 20,000 new police officers on our streets.'

However, the move has been criticised and branded an 'embarrassment' and 'ridiculous' as well as 'borderline racist'.

Shadow home secretary Diane Abbot tweeted: 'Instead of investing in a public health approach to violent crime, the Home Office have opted for yet another crude, offensive and probably expensive campaign

'They would do better to invest in our communities not demonise them.'

TV and comedy writer James Felton said: 'Honest to God, if the best idea you have to tackle knife crime is to write stuff on fried chicken you should quit power forever in embarrassment, not tweet it out proudly like you've just solved world hunger.'

Another Twitter user added: 'Spending some money funding community outreach projects, social workers, job opportunities and schools too much effort for you then?'

Twitter users criticised the campaign for 'borderline racism' - citing fried chicken as an old mainstay in racist depictions of black people

Labour MP David Lammy tweeted: 'Is this some kind of joke?! Why have you chosen chicken shops? What's next, #KnifeFree watermelons?'

Peter Grigg, director of external affairs at The Children's Society, said: 'More government investment is needed in education for young people about knife crime, healthy relationships, and exploitation, as well as in early intervention and prevention, and ministers must urgently address the £3bn shortfall facing council children's services departments by 2025



Well niggers are always going to buy Chicken! That's a given! Watch them pick up knives if they can't get Chicken ... or Grape Soda... or Watermelons! Then you can expect Footlocker to get broken into in a chimp out and have all the Nike's stolen!

John Mayer was granted a temporary restraining order against a fan who allegedly stalked and threatened him, and made reference to killers Ted Bundy and Mark David Chapman, according to court papers obtained by DailyMail.com

The 41-year-old filed papers last Tuesday in Los Angeles seeking a restraining order against Ryan Jeremy Knight, 39, from Charlotte, North Carolina.

Mayer claims Knight began harassing and stalking him in March, became more aggressive in April and has continued to make disturbing social media threats to Mayer and members of his team.

Knight allegedly told Mayer to watch his back, threatened to kill him, taunted her 'put many a Jew in the hospital' and tried to turn up to an event where Mayer was at in June, according to court documents. 

Mayer said the messages left him in fear of his life and caused him substantial emotional distress, leading a judge to grant his request and ordered Knight to stay 100 feet away from Mayer and his home.

Knight was arrested last March for felony stalking and in June 2017 for misdemeanor stalking, according to records by the Mecklenburg County Sheriff.   

Among the messages Knight allegedly sent to Mayer include: 'You step from me again and I will kill you,' 'All ya had to do was be my pal', 'I'm everywhere like god,' and 'PS watch your back.'

Mayer writes that Knight has an 'apparent obsession' with him, allegedly telling Mayer 'F**k you for all that you do ya narcissist,' 'You ain't s***,' and 'I will beat you and your whole crew at the same d**n time.' 

Another set of messages from court documents include: 'I'm gonna murder her JM,' 'I'm gonna be famous after all,' 'And kill her mom and her BF and BFF,' 'I try hard to be your friend,' and 'I tried too hard to be her BF

(KGTV) - Did a woman really post a flier offering her services as a babysitter for "white kids only?

No.

While the flier says Debra Allen, it actually shows a picture of an Oregon woman named Amber Lee Hughes.

She told the "Eugene Weekly" that it was likely an ex-boyfriend who created the fake flier.

Hughes says the blowback from the flier has forced her to change her phone number.

She says not only is she not racist, she doesn't even work as a babysitter any more.
