This should be national news.
This is Trump’s America.
This young woman wasn’t doing anything and this is what happened to here.
On Wednesday (June 24), a Black woman in Madison, Wisconsin reportedly suffered third-degree burns after four white men threw lighter fluid and a lighter at her face while she was in her car. Speaking with Madison 365, 18-year-old EMT Althea Bernstein said the assailants yelled a racial slur at her before the attack.
“I was listening to some music at a stoplight and then all of a sudden I heard someone yell the N-word really loud,” she told the outlet. “I turned my head to look and somebody’s throwing lighter fluid on me. And then they threw a lighter at me, and my neck caught on fire and I tried to put it out, but I brushed it up onto my face. I got it out and then I just blasted through the red light… I just felt like I needed to get away. So I drove through the red light and just kept driving until I got to my brother’s [home].”
According to the Wisconsin State Journal, police are investigating the incident as a potential hate crime. On Thursday (June 25), Madison police spokesman Joel DeSpain said investigators are looking at surveillance images of the street to see if the attack was captured on camera.
She doesn’t want a GoFundMe, she just wants people to support Black Lives Matters causes.
