White people are always using terms like “Race Card” and “Race Baiter”.
This is what privilege looks like.
The Bethel School District said it’s investigating a social media post by a first-year high school wrestling coach that showed him on the ground with a knee on the back of his neck as he smiles and gives a thumbs-up.
“This is for all the race baiters and people that don’t What (sic) they’re talking about when they’re saying that this could kill you,” reads the Facebook post, which appears to have since been deleted from the coach Dave Hollenbeck’s page.
“Not dead yet I’m doing this for Are [sic] police officers the media is a race-baiting machine and I’m tired of it I’m going to speak out every time if you don’t like that I’m sorry but I love All people.. Wake up America.”
The post is in reference to George Floyd, who died Monday after Minneapolis police pinned him to the ground with a knee to the neck. Viral video shows Floyd pleading that he could not breathe.
“There is no reasonable rationale for him to post anything like that,” said Jay Davenport, one of the district parents outraged over the post. “It’s about humanity, it’s about integrity; that post lacks both.”
This is why people say Black Lives Matter because white people don’t value them.
This is SICK.
