Fani Willis Case Takes a New Turn (racism)
Newsweak ^ | 4/09/24 | Katherine Fung

Posted on 04/10/2024 2:40:25 AM PDT by Libloather

One of the co-defendants in the sweeping RICO case against former President Donald Trump and his allies is accusing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis of racism.

Harrison Floyd, who led Black Voices for Trump in 2020, announced Monday that he and his lawyers were planning to bring an equal protection claim against Willis, saying that she was going after some of the defendants because of the color of their skin. Floyd is one of two Black co-defendants in the Georgia case.

"While my skin is also Black, DA Willis identifies me as white and views me as a defender of white supremacists due to my political beliefs," Floyd said in a video shared to social media. "Deep down, she wants to make me pay for what she feels is a betrayal to Black culture. Her words and actions consistently demonstrate a hate for white people and need to make this case about race."

Race has become an increasing source of tension in the case against Trump and his associates. Two weeks ago, Willis made a speech during which she said that "they don't like me to talk about race," but that she would anyway and that, "Truth is, there's some challenges that come with being Black."

This is not going to help him. When have they ever recognized any kind of discrimination against black conservatives? He’s lucky they let black conservatives live.

The disgusting racism from so many in the black community is a huge problem in this country.

This is what affirmative action causes. How she ever got to have the position she does is beyond me except she got there because of the color of her skin. I had an argument once with a black person who was brainwashed into thinking only whites could be racist. I could not convince her that her way of thinking was racist in itself. Anyone can be racist, Trump’s lawyers may have a hard time of it, but it cannot be denied, after all, she is the daughter of a racist black panther.

Amen.

The hatred of "whitey" by some blacks is a huge problem. That's what made Fani feel so empowered.

Those guilty of reverse racism thought they were immune because they were told by proponents of CRT that their hatred was righteous and not racist because they weren't "in power." They didn't stop to realize that most whites and other ethnicities aren't in power either.

Oops.

Can we coexist? I’m not so sure.

Fani acquired a position many have sought and few have accomplished. Yet here she is acting like she was held back because of her race. I have a different idea.

Way back, I once flew with a captain who many first officers avoided because of his attitude. In the back of my mind I wondered if it was because he was black and some people can’t deal with it.

During the flight, Captain Leo made some comment bemoaning how he was held back because of his race. I took the bait and said, “Good Lord, Leo. You’re a smart, talented guy. You have a black belt in karate, a PHD in computer science, and you fly widebody jets all over the world for a major airline. There are tens of thousands of other people that would love to be held back as badly as you.”

It took him by surprise, I guess, because no one had ever confronted him about it. It was just easier for them to stare out the window and avoid him in the future.

I continued. “You are a likeable guy but you see the world from inside this three foot diameter shell called Leo. How about we grab a beer tonight and get out of that shell?”

We did. He’s not a bad guy, but he initially confronts people with a very cold, selfish attitude. You never get a second chance to make a first impression, but I gave him one. He wanted me to fly with him as much as possible. Our schedules only crossed one more time and he was much much warmer. I don’t know if he was that way to others.

Yes it’s a long story to get to the point that I think Leo was pissed because others figured he only made it to the pinnacle of his profession because he was black. I could see that wasn’t the case. I hope I helped him realize that.

I suspect Fani is also bitten by the self hate bug. Though I suspect she made it to the pinnacle of her career by means other than smarts, skill, and hard work.

A former co-worker and her husband lived in Atlanta for a few years. She said the blacks there were incredibly obnoxious and aggressive. They got out as soon as her husband’s contract was up. We don’t see much of that here in northeast Oklahoma, though the Juneteenth crowd in Tulsa are certainly headed that direction. I’ve yet to meet an obnoxious black person in our little town. (BTW, I agree that what was done to black Wall Street back in the day was horrible; I just don’t agree that the whites of today should be blamed for it.)

Wonderful story. It’s important that whites and blacks make an effort to communicate honestly with one another, not in a hateful way, but with encouragement to see truth instead of propaganda.

Yes, I know. I do think D.E.I. is like a fish out of water, though. Going the way of “woke” which people are getting sick of. Even Maher and other Hollywood Elites.
