Lester Chambers Attacked for Trayvon Martin Dedication - Exclusive Footage (by fuse)

Blues musician Lester Chambers, a 73-year-old man, dedicated a song from his set to Trayvon Martin. A racist in the audience felt some kind of way about it, so she climbed her thirsty ass on stage and attacked him.

Here is the video.

Now, see…

I’ll just leave this here.

I’m literally crying right now…

This happened in my fucking home town
This happened literally down the street from my house
I’m so fucking disappointed right now
I’m so enraged…

Wow…

my dear fellow white women and feminists:

please watch this video. Please watch how this white woman storms the stage and attacks an elderly Black man. Please understand that, from what I’ve read about this incident, she was let go without being charged for anything. Please watch this. And please understand that THIS is one of the reasons why we are not trusted. Does this woman’s actions speak for all white women? of course not.

but the next time you want to act like white women have never been or are never complicit in violent racism, think about this video. think about the sheer sense of entitlement this woman has, the forceful way she storms across the lawn and launches herself onto the stage at a mere dedication for a dead Black boy.

and let’s not play and act like if it was a Black man storming a stage that a white woman was performing on he wouldn’t have been immediately maced, beaten by security and/or arrested before he even had the chance to get up on stage. But no on ever expects white women to do this to Black men, right? Because white women haven’t ever been and still aren’t complicit and active participants in violence against Black people, right?

This is fucking disgusting. I hope this woman feels absolutely fucking ashamed for doing this violent, racist act. I hope she fucking sees that this video and possible articles have gone viral, calling her out for being the racist douchebag that she is. I hope she feels shame for the rest of her fucking life.

Apparently she wants to sue for her injuries. You knocked a 73 year old man and got him taken away by the ambulance. He should be suing your ass for assault and injuries.

Dinalynn Andrews Potter. This woman deserves to have her name attached to her actions as much as possible. Dinalynn Andrews Potter

People like this woman (and I don’t mean necessarily this woman in particular because I’ve no idea what she has and hasn’t read, I mean racists in general) are probably reading articles similar to the ones in this disgusting racist trash of a publication (tw, virulently blatant racist rhetoric):

www. wnd. com

(to make the link work, copy/paste then take out the spaces … I’m not going to boost its ratings in google by making a valid link to it)

I’m not saying that publications like WND are the root of racism (that lies elsewhere, probably particularly the institutionalized slavery in early white-colonized US history), but I’m sure things like it just serve to help reinforce and perpetuate the racist mindset among a certain contingent of people.  Put it this way: It’s a GREAT link to show to anyone who is able to watch this video and still try to insist that we are living in a “post-racial" society.  Because your denial would have to be made out of steel to resist crumbling under the weight of racist rhetoric at WND.  And probably there is similar or worse racist rhetoric at a bunch of other publications I haven’t seen yet.

I hadn’t had the misfortune of looking at that particular site before, but I’m sure it’s very popular in certain circles. :-|
