Brickbat: Ebony and Ivory

A Prince William County, Virginia, man says a police officer showed up at his door asking him to prove that his mixed-race children belonged to him. The officer said he been sent there by Walmart security. Joseph and his wife Keana, whose last names weren't revealed by local media, said they called Walmart and a security officer said a customer had reported a white man walking around with three young black girls.

Sometimes man, you jsut have to roll with the punches.

Many times dude, we only need to punch with the rolls.
Donald Trump offered the girls five million dollars to show their birth certificates.
"Court says it had to come off the books, that that we had to stop enforcing it"
Honest mistake?
I wonder if the kid napping in Ohio had something to do with this. A temporary case of report everything, even if it seems innocent mentality. I would be pissed but at least the cop did not arrest him and let the courts work it out.
No. Letting the courts work it out is a massive intrusion into an innocent persons life.
Fuck that person.
Fuck that person.
If it saves *just one* young black girl from a life of being pimped out by her white "daddy", ....
Agreed. Just stating at least they did not put him through more for the heinous crime of not fitting the stereotypical family unit.
"No self respecting white man would father three niglets. There must be something going on."
^This was exactly the thought process^
And dollars to doughnuts, the nosy busybody was a Black woman.
I was gonna say she's a democrat, but that's mostly redundant.
Married a dorky white guy? Betrayal of the sisterhood, dude.
Perhaps HE is the victim of a crime! Did you ever think of THAT, smartypants?!
Infidelity is still illegal in Virginia, right?
"No self respecting white man would father three niglets. There must be something going on."
"He's probably got four more locked in a hot car with the windows up."
DEAD GIVEAWAY?
Hey, you wanted diversity, you fucking got diversity.
"I AM Black and you are White"
"You are blind as a bat and I have sight!"
You stand here accused of a crime. Now prove your innocence.
"Get you wife's black ass out heeya immeedjutly!"
"Oh, I see that her name's 'Keana'. Never mind."
Why didn't he just flash his white privilege card?
Mine expired. Where do I renew?

In a sane world*, the correct response to such an incident would be, "Officer, am I accused of a crime? If not, please kindly leave my property and return witg a warrant if you deem it necessary."
Unfortunately, in the world in which we live, people are so scared that the cops might go on a "respect my authority" rampage that they treat shit like this as a reasonable request.
*in a saner world**, the cops would have told the Wal*Mart busybody to suck an egg.
** in the sanest of worlds, Lord Humungus would have the Wal*Mart tattler lashed to the front of his desert buggy.
In a sane word, he would have just chuckled to himself and closed the door.
you know who else had mixed race children?
Your mom?
you take that back! *sniff*
Hey!
true story here: I had a cousin who was adopted. He was "half-black" / Mulatto or whatever PC term you want to use.
Anyway, he was killed in a car accident. After hearing the news, my old Dutch grandmother said something to the effect of "oh well, he never was a real [redacted last name] anyway."
Keep it classy, grandma.
A friend of mine married an Irish guy from Boston. When they had their first child, her grandmother (Eastern European stock) said, "I never though I'd be able to love a little redheaded Irish boy, but he is just adorable!"
till he bombs his first lorry...
whatever PC term you want to use
"And for clearing all manner of doubts which hereafter may happen to arise upon the construction of this act, or any other act, who shall be accounted a mulatto, Be it enacted and declared, and it is hereby enacted and declared, That the child of an Indigenous and the child, grand child, or great grand child, of a negro shall be deemed, accounted, held and taken to be a mulatto."
Pasiphae?
The tortoise and the hare?
The Walrus and the Carpenter?
Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Interesting that they are his kids, but not the "same race"... perhaps race is quickly becoming meaningless. I just wish it would hurry up 'cause I'm growing tired of people who are [insert fraction] black, are black and not anything else.
This is the hypocracy of government. "We are all equal under the law". However I will need specifics on your race so we can seperate everyone into different little boxes to treat everyone differently. Democrats cheer this on while lamenting we don't have a post racial society.
Oh the Progressives stopped pushing for a post-racial society once they saw that it would remove so much of their victimhood hand-wringing.
Now they say that being color blind is just another form of racist oppression.
I did not get the memo. I will update my world view so I won't embarrass myself at the next cocktail party.
Now they say that being color blind is just another form of racist oppression.
Calls for a "color blind" society is a racist dog whistle to other priveleged white males of a desire to return to a time before race based affirmitive action and racial quotas. /prog-derp translator
There is a lot of money in victimhood hand wringing...
Now...where are the white women at?
Once they realized it would upset the spoils system.
I have a friend who is whiter than white. He is so white he makes Adam Savage look deeply tanned. He is married to a woman so black she makes Oprah look like a honky. Their color contrast is so great it's impossible to take a good photo of them together.
And they have the cutest kid in the world.
Think about this for a minute ? how (not to mention why) in the heck would/could one person kidnap three children simultaneously and then take them shopping at a Walmart? I have a hard enough time managing two little boys who are mine ? I can't see how one stranger could control three kids who didn't want to be taken somewhere without the use of drugs or restraints.
Whoever it was who called the police on this doesn't have the sense to come in out of the rain.
