Bloody Hell, Bruv: Bigoted British Bish Sued For Firing Black Nanny After Sending Her Two Racist Texts

Image via Westend61/Getty Wife Sued For Discrimination Against Ex-Nanny After Racist Texts This is a story about a racist white lady who undoubtedly puts LOTS of mayonnaise on her fish and chips. The DailyMail reports that a British woman named Lynsey Plasco-Flaxman sent a racist text to who she thought was her husband. The text read: “NOOOOOOOOOOO ANOTHER BLACK PERSON”, in reference to their new Black nanny, Giselle Maurice, who was working her very first day on the job. Lynsey then sent the text again because she didn’t get a reply. As fate would have it, Lynsey’s text wasn’t sent to her husband, it was sent to Giselle. But get this, instead of owning up to the iRacism, Lynsey fired Giselle on the spot. Why? Because SHE felt “uncomfortable”. The audacity of caucasity in all it’s glory, ladies and gentlemen. To make matters worse, Lynsey claims she sent the text because their last nanny was Black and she expected a Filipino woman this time. How she had a woman she never met working in her house, we have no idea. Giselle wasn’t about to let this evil soup cookie get away with this. She has now filed a $63,000 lawsuit against the couple for discrimination. Lynsey’s husband Joel Plasco said the following to the NYPost : ‘My wife had sent her something that she didn’t mean to say. She’s not a racist. We’re not racist people,’ Why do they always say that after their caught being racist people? SMH.

Must Watch: “13th” Is Ava Duvernay’s Chilling New Netflix Documentary On Mass Incarceration [Video]

Ava Duvernay Documentary Shines Light On How Prison System Is Legal Slavery If you didn’t already know — the 13th Amendment just changed slavery from one form to another. This ish is so deep. THIS needs to be MANDATORY VIEWING for ignorant people of all races to watch and learn. Here’s the Netflix description: The title of Ava DuVernay’s extraordinary and galvanizing documentary 13TH refers to the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which reads “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States.” The progression from that second qualifying clause to the horrors of mass criminalization and the sprawling American prison industry is laid out by DuVernay with bracing lucidity. With a potent mixture of archival footage and testimony from a dazzling array of activists, politicians, historians, and formerly incarcerated women and men, DuVernay creates a work of grand historical synthesis.

Colorado Legalizes Marijuana: Right or Wrong?

Lost in the commotion over President Obama’s reelection : Colorado Amendment 64 legalized marijuana in the Rocky Mountain State on Election Day. Yes … the term “Rocky Mountain High” just took on a new meaning. Amendment 64, a measure seeking the legalization of marijuana for recreational use by adults, was passed by Colorado voters in a statewide reefer-endum (sorry). This makes Colorado the first U.S. state to end marijuana prohibition. Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper, a vocal opponent to the bill to legalize pot , reacted to the passage of A64 in a statement late Tuesday night: “The voters have spoken and we have to respect their will.” “This will be a complicated process, but we intend to follow through. That said, federal law still says marijuana is an illegal drug so don’t break out the Cheetos or Goldfish too quickly.” Awesome quote. Indeed, the passage of the state measure is without historical precedent and the consequences and implementation will likely be closely-watched around the world. Although Colorado “legalized it,” it will be several months, perhaps as long as a year, before Colorado adults over the age of 21 can enjoy the legal sale of marijuana. It is unclear how the amendment’s passage will be reconciled with existing federal law, or how the drug will be legally sold and regulated in the state. What do you think? Is legalization of marijuana a good idea?   Yes No Maybe View Poll »
