Vermont's Only Black Female Lawmaker Withdraws Re-Election Bid After Racist Attacks

[heaven05]

21. this has been going on

for very long time and just now, prominent people are speaking up and the case is being investigated only after her fear has been revealed to the public???? Pretty obvious that someone was trying to avoid a black eye from a deserved hit.

But let's look at the demographics of the state and how fear of losing votes to a challenger in speaking up loudly and clearly against racism can colour one's remarks or rebukes of a racist situation such as this. 2 years and just now speaking up when I goddamn well know everyone knew this was going on. 2fucking years!!!!! Well what can be expected from such an area of northeastern paradise for a particular racial group? I lived in Boston for 5 years, went north a few times...this is a true reflection of Vermont, New Hampshire and especially Maine. They do not make a POC feel welcome, even when just visiting.
