In reply to the discussion: A Black woman sat on the grass outside an L.A. church. The cold welcome she recorded speaks volumes [View all]EqualityNow
(32 posts)21. This experiment, phase 2, and it's already out there.
These disgusting "church going" racists certainly showed themselves for what they are, but note, that link at the L.A. Times is one that has a comments section. How far will people go to actually try and justify that jackass with the sign:
a poster named "OC_Teacher" posted
I don't understand how she could sit down on private property to paint her toenails and expect a welcome. I don't care what race she is.
2nd commentator "Scoutakes"
The article left me wondering why Ms Marshall-Brown didnt leave when told she was on private property. Perhaps she spider sensed the opportunity for publicity. She is after all an actress/stuntwoman living in LA.
So, went looking to see what other news sources that have comment sections posted. First one other than the L.A. Times original was:
https://www.newsbreak.com/news/0PZw2LxH/a-black-woman-sat-on-the-grass-outside-an-la-church-the-cold-welcome-she-recorded-speaks-volumes
Same crap in the comments section.
There is no end to the lengths people will go to either openly disparage and insult Alex Marshall-Brown with both direct racist comments, and others, completely ignoring all the openly racist comments RIGHT BY THEIR OWN POSTS try to paint it as something other than racial at all. I have a hard time determining which is worse.. the outright direct racists, or the willfully stupidly ignorant who are ignoring the directly racist posts right next to their own to keep the blinders on.

It's an experiment that should be staged and tried and discreetly video'ed in various places

Hope JC doesn't turn up and sit on the lawn. He wasn't really a good looking, blond guy.
