THIS.
The most insane thing in the world is the belief a MAGA-led gov't is going to bother differentiating between black people from here or abroad once they are allowed to call folks' citizenship into question.

It will be a nightmare and we won't be able to unring that bell.

'God help us': Springfield Jamaicans mistaken for Haitians by 'aggressive' white woman

Hate against Haitians sparked by Republican running mates Donald Trump and J.D. Vance spilled over to the Jamaican community in Springfield, Missouri, this week.

In a post on Facebook, the Jamaican Patty Co. said an employee was confronted by an angry white woman who thought she was addressing Haitians.

"[W]e received a call from a disgruntled person regarding Haitians filing a lawsuit against the Trump/Vance ticket," the company explained. "Without identifying herself, she aggressively confronted us and mistaken us for Haitians and not Jamaicans."

The woman reportedly hung up before the restaurant could express a stance.

"The position we were about to take with her was, we as a company believe in standing up for what is right," the restaurant's posting said. "We do not condone misinformation or frivolous attacks on our neighbors, which we now know has given merit to this new lawsuit."

"The audacity of this misinformed person. We hope that this election cycle does not get too ugly. Let us treat people the way we would like to be treated. God help us."

Earlier this week, the leader of a Haitian group filed criminal charges against Trump and Vance after the men made claims about pets being eaten in Springfield, Ohio.

Thankfully, a prestigious RNC speaker has now weighed in with her informed opinion.

"Haitian immigrants are absolutely eating people's cats and dogs in Springfield," Rose stated. When challenged by the TMZ interviewer, who cited local officials saying the claims were false, the TV personality doubled down, adding that she had seen social media videos corroborating the allegations.


"I've seen videos online where people claim their pets were taken by Haitian immigrants," Rose said, insisting that this confirmed Trump's narrative.


Rose defended Trump and Vance. "Why is it racist if it's true?" she asked during her interview with TMZ.


She further argued, "It is a known fact that in Haitian culture, some people do eat cats." While acknowledging that not all Haitians engage in the practice, Rose maintained that it is common enough to validate Trump's claims. "That's part of Haitian culture, right? It's not every Haitian person, but some do."




According to the history blog Rogue Art Historian, some Haitians do sacrifice animals in religious ceremonies, in an "offering that maintains the balance between the human and spiritual realms," but these animals are chickens, goats and pigs, with no mention of cats or dogs.

Very pathetic when people with zero talent try to grift in a space full of retarded cult followers. It only works because everyone involved is a stupid piece of shyt.

Wow I didn't think she was capable of going so low. If its one thing we can learn about this era its that people will do and say anything for money. Even if it means promoting genocidal talking points towards an entire group of people. If we as black people don't start getting on code and holding people like her accountable it'll only get worse. People can only do things like this when they think there won't be any consequences to their actions. Its past time we prove them otherwise. A whole lot of these c00ns from Candace Owens to Tariq Nasheed and now Amber Rose need that biblical 1st testament type of punishment..

Turns out the "b*mb threats" that the media blamed Trump and JD Vance for for weeks were ALL hoaxes and some originated overseas.

When will the media apologize?

Brian Comer, a 64-year-old white man, was accused of illegally hunting geese at a golf course on the day Trump amplified racist lies about Haitian immigrants in the city.

A 64-year-old white man in Springfield, Ohio, was accused of illegally hunting geese at a golf course pond as former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, were spreading racist lies that Haitian immigrants in the area were eating geese and people’s pets.

Brian Comer was charged with a misdemeanor in connection with the Sept. 10 incident. According to an arrest affidavit obtained by HuffPost, a golfer at Rocky Lakes Golf Course in Springfield reported seeing a Canada goose floating in a pond and Comer using a shotgun to shoot another bird.

Comer didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment from HuffPost, but court records show he entered a guilty plea. A court spokesperson told HuffPost he paid $200 to cover a fine and court fees.

Journalist Steven Monacelli first posted about the arrest on Thursday on X, formerly Twitter.

According to the affidavit by an Ohio Division of Wildlife officer, the golfer approached Comer about the dead goose in the pond, and Comer said there would be several more dead geese in a few minutes. Comer reportedly then got on his lawnmower with a shotgun and fired twice, killing a second goose.

The golfer told police that Comer picked up the first goose and tossed it into the weeds and then broke the neck of the second bird, which had been wounded, according to the affidavit.

Officers who spoke with the golf course manager the following day learned that Comer was an employee, according to the affidavit. The manager told authorities that she allowed several individuals, including Comer, to hunt on the property and claimed he should have all appropriate licenses and permits.

However, when authorities checked with the Division of Wildlife’s licensing and harvest database, Comer did not have certifications to hunt migratory birds, according to the affidavit.

Comer told authorities over the phone that he was cutting the grass at the course that day and wanted to shoot a few geese but admitted he did not have the necessary license and permits, according to the affidavit. He instead said he believed he was permitted to do so, thinking the golf course had a nuisance permit. (The state allows the killing of geese under nuisance permits only from March to August.)

According to court records, Comer was arraigned on Sept. 18 on a fourth-degree misdemeanor count of prohibited activities against state-owned wild animals.

The incident at Rocky Lakes Golf Course happened on the same day as the presidential debate between Trump and the Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris. During the debate, Trump repeated the baseless claim that Haitian immigrants in Springfield were eating pets. At a rally two days later, he falsely accused immigrants of taking ducks and geese from Springfield parks and trails.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources has said it found no proof of Haitian immigrants taking geese or ducks; a viral photo of a Black man holding a goose was actually taken in Columbus, where there has also been no evidence of Haitian immigrants harming animals, USA Today reported. A Facebook post that spread a rumor about a Haitian immigrant killing a cat has also been debunked, and the woman behind it told NBC News she regretted posting it. In spite of that, the racist lies have spread on far-right social media accounts and among Republican politicians.

The racist tales have caused real harm against Haitians who are legally living in Springfield, according to a local nonprofit. The Haitian Bridge Alliance has filed a criminal affidavit seeking Trump’s and Vance’s arrest after attributing more than 30“widespread bomb and other threats” against their community.

The group filed a supplemental affidaviton Wednesday following the vice presidential debate, claiming that Vance effectively admitted on stage that he had been lying about Haitians in Springfield when he protested CBS’ fact-checking about their legal status.

Ohio Businessman Receives Death Threats After Praising Haitian Employees​


By BuzzZingo / October 22, 2024

A lifelong Republican, Jamie McGregor employs fewer Haitians than other businesses in Springfield, Ohio, but his life has been turned upside down since Donald J. Trump spread falsehoods about immigrants in his hometown.

McGregor, a businessman in Springfield, has faced death threats, a company lockdown, and posters around town labeling him a traitor for hiring immigrants after he spoke positively about the Haitian workers he employs.

To protect his family, McGregor has reluctantly decided to own a gun, breaking his personal vow against it.

“I’ve struggled with the fact that now we’re going to have firearms in our house — like, what the hell?” said McGregor, who runs McGregor Metal, a company that manufactures parts for cars, trucks, and tractors.

“We’re taking classes, going to shooting ranges, and being fitted for handguns,” he said, showing a photo of his 14-year-old daughter holding a Glock.

A fifth-generation resident of the small city between Columbus and Dayton, McGregor was struggling a few years ago to fill positions for machine operators, forklift drivers, and quality inspectors. He began hiring Haitians who had recently settled in Springfield, and they now make up about 10 percent of McGregor Metal’s 330-person workforce.

However, McGregor has found himself in a political storm. Former President Donald J. Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, falsely accused the Haitians in Springfield of stealing and eating pets. These rumors fueled resentment over rising housing prices, crowded clinics, and a perceived change in the town’s character. McGregor, who had publicly praised his new employees for their hard work and eagerness to learn, became a target.

Threats poured in, not only against him but also his family and business.

They came by the hundreds — phone calls, emails, and letters from white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and others they had never met.

“The owner of McGregor Metal can take a bullet to the skull and that would be 100 percent justified,” said one message left on the company voicemail.

“Why are you importing Third World savages who eat animals and giving them jobs over United States citizens?” another asked.

“Stack all 20,000 Haitians inside Jamie McGregor’s factory at once and force him to praise the benefits of foreign labor while being crushed to death by Black bodies themselves being crushed to death,” another said.

McGregor’s children and his 80-year-old mother began receiving hateful calls.

“We’re being hunted like animals,” said McGregor’s wife, Cameron.

McGregor said he spoke out to show that the Haitian workers had helped his company grow. He noted that the newcomers have helped revitalize the blue-collar town and reverse its population decline.

“They come to work every day. They don’t cause drama. They’re on time,” he told The New York Times in an interview in early September that helped trigger the backlash. On PBS News Hour the next week, he noted that they were drug-free. “I wish I had 30 more,” he said.

One of his employees, Wilford Renvil, has been with the company since 2021, operating a mechanical press. He fled Haiti, where he had a white-collar job at a telecommunications company, after bandits took control of his town and went on killing sprees. His attendance record at McGregor is perfect, and he has befriended his American co-workers.

McGregor Metal employs fewer Haitians than companies like Dole, Topre, and several others in the region. But executives of those companies have refrained from making public statements, even as Springfield has descended into a crisis, with bomb threats closing schools, colleges, and government offices for days.

A lifelong Republican who voted twice for Trump, McGregor said he never imagined that speaking up for his workers would endanger his family.

He also faced backlash from American workers at his company who felt maligned by his comments, some of which implied that Haitians were more reliable than other employees.

McGregor called emergency meetings at all three facilities.

“If you found what I said to be offensive, or if you took my comments personally, I’m deeply sorry, as it was never my intent,” McGregor recalled telling his employees during the emotionally charged meetings.

He explained that the Haitians he hired were in the country legally and paying taxes, contrary to claims on social media that McGregor Metal paid them lower wages under the table.

“We have different opinions and beliefs, but we’re here to make metal parts,” he told the staff. “We’re not here to debate immigration.”

F.B.I. agents showed up at McGregor Metal unexpectedly on Sept. 12.

They warned him that some of the threats on social media were credible and that he must take precautions.

They advised locking the lobby doors at McGregor Metal and implementing other safety protocols.

Security experts also advised the family to vary their driving routes to work, school, and other places, wear gloves and use tongs when handling mail, and keep the blinds drawn at home.

The family was also advised to scrub their digital footprints, install cameras, motion sensors, and alarms, and start parking rear-first in the garage, keeping the car in drive until the door is fully closed.

The hardest recommendation for McGregor was to buy a gun. More than one, in fact.

He said he had always supported people’s right to own firearms. But “I’m not a gun person,” he said, breathing deeply. “I do not like guns. I never liked guns.”

He felt heartbroken when he had to pull his daughter out of school for shooting lessons.

“It was a complete loss of innocence,” he said.

As the family tried to adjust to their new reality, ominous posters of McGregor appeared near his plants, outside a grocery store, and on poles.

They featured quotes from McGregor praising his immigrant workers, with the word “traitor” scrawled on his forehead in red capital letters.

Last week, Springfield experienced its first relatively normal week since the claims about Haitians and pets disrupted the city’s routines and created chaos. All 17 schools opened without new bomb threats, although state troopers still swept the buildings beforehand.

On Tuesday night, the city held its first in-person commission meeting since the bomb threats. Attendees had to pass through metal detectors.

During the public comment period, some angry residents aired grievances about Haitians, as they had done in the past. But the gathering was not as heated as previous ones, and several people voiced support for the immigrants and encouraged community unity.

Threats against the McGregor family and his company have decreased in recent days.

But they cannot rest easy.

“You know, things are just different now,” McGregor said, noting that he would not vote for Trump again.

“Here at the shop, you know, on a warm day, we would normally have all of our doors and windows open and the breeze blowing,” he said.

On a recent evening, when McGregor arrived home feeling unwell, his family worried that he had been exposed to a biological agent such as anthrax after handling mail.

McGregor said he was more likely just suffering from the accumulation of stress, but that did not relieve his wife’s anxiety.

“I can’t imagine living my whole life like this,” Ms. McGregor said. “You know, it’s got to end. It’s got to stop — hopefully after the election.”

A correction was made on Sept. 30, 2024: An earlier version of this article referred imprecisely to the Ohio State Police officers who swept school buildings after bomb threats. They were troopers, not paratroopers.
