The media is our enemy. They must be… corrected. With extreme prejudice

No, it’s not racism.

It’s self-preservation.

We’d feel the same no matter what demographic behaved like that.

Jerson, a Venezuelan who came to Colorado in December, had been selling empanadas, arepas and Gatorade to people living in his apartment complex as they finished their work day, and he had included his phone number on the green poster-board menu that he hung in his apartment window.
...
Nadeen Ibrahim, who is the organizing director for the East Colfax Community Collective and has been helping people in east Denver and Aurora find housing, said the way the Venezuelan gang story blew up across the internet “110% involved racism.”
...
“I don’t even feel safe,” Jerson said in Spanish, describing how a local Mexican gang came to the apartments this week offering to sell him guns. “And every day people are coming here to record with their phones, like this was a zoo or something. You feel like you’re exposed.”

I guess that makes our hero Jerson a 110% racist as well because he identified the gang that came to his door selling guns as Mexican.

Claim? CLAIM just when you think liberal reporters can’t get more stupider... And besides. What “race” is Venezuelan?

Racism? No, just any color that gets away with terrorism.

As I said before, if I am ever put on a jury where the victim is a public employee or presstitute or any other wild eyed leftist and the perp is an Illegal Alien, I VOTE NOT GUILTY.

I think Jennifer Brown needs some cultural enrichment in her neighborhood.

I hope no one posts her address.

Fugly Kolorado Karen says what?

Woof.

But in seriousness, look what Kolorado Karen had to admit for herself inside her long-winded bitch:

"Aurora police said they have identified 10 people linked to the Tren de Aragua gang, including six in custody...two brothers who are gang members were arrested in connection with a shooting near one of the apartments this summer.

“I don’t even feel safe,” Jerson said in Spanish, describing how a local Mexican gang came to the apartments this week offering to sell him guns.

[Aurora Mayor Mike] Coffman said via email, after spending time at the apartments talking to tenants this week. “I fully understand that there is a problem at the properties associated with a cultural pattern that whenever there is a concentration of Venezuelan migrants that there is often a Venezuelan criminal element that follows to exploit them.”

People where I live still regard Dale Earnhardt the greatest racist of all time. But this woman is referring to the subtle inculcation of societal mores we all pick up from surrounding people as our minds develop while growing up.

LOL...no she wasn't being that insightful at all. She was using the word as a triggering insult meant to be beyond argument. Guaranteed to turn tail and run if you dare stomping on her pre-programming with rational explanation.

But anyone who voluntarily lives their life as a slave to an Islamic husband while living in history's greatest experiment of freedom...

I’d rather see her go on a date with a Venezuelan “migrant” gang member she meets on a dating site-then she can write an article about that...

A photo of the menu — including his phone number — ended up on X,

I’d bet 5 bucks a leftie posted it
