Georgia state Sen. Nikema Williams (D-Atlanta) was arrested along with more than a dozen other protesters at the Georgia State Capitol on Tuesday afternoon at a demonstration asking the state to “count every vote” from last week’s gubernatorial election.

Williams, a civil rights advocate who organized domestic workers for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, was charged with misdemeanor obstruction of justice and spent about six hours at Fulton County Jail in Atlanta.

“Funny that. I thought she went there so she could be arrested.”
And to make it about race. Beings how if she was white things would be different?
Is anyone tired of the race card and victim claims?
When you have nothing to offer flip out the race card.

I have come to the conclusion that the best way to deal with this is an aggressive litigation strategy. Calling someone a racist ought to result in being served with a defamation suit.
I pay mine ALL THE TIME. Especially when it’s most ridiculous.
I call it my “White Privilege Card”.
pay = play
DOH!
Worse yet, he be a "Oreo". Black on the outside, white on the inside.
