Tucker Carlson talks about Bobby Crimo
During his Tuesday show, Tucker Carlson insinuated that women who lecture men about male privilege may contribute to mass shootings in the United States. Carlson's comments came after the recent mass shooting at a July 4th parade in Highland Park, Illinois, where seven people were killed, and over two dozen people were injured. The primary suspect, Robert E. Crimo III, was charged with seven counts of first-degree murder.
Carlson claimed that poor mental health is a significant factor in mass shootings and stated that there are many people like Crimo in America. Carlson pointed out that Crimo did not seem like a stable person, yet no one raised the alarm. Carlson suggested that this is because there are many young men in America who look and act like Crimo, living in a solitary fantasy world of social media, porn, and video games.
He then claimed that these men may be angry because they believe their lives will be worse than their parents', and that they are high on drugs. Carlson asserted that these men are prescribed psychotropic drugs, such as SSRIs or antidepressants, and that a shockingly large number of them have been prescribed these drugs by their doctors.
Carlson questioned why the authorities did not act on the red flags they had seen from Crimo before his alleged actions in the July 4 attack. He highlighted two instances where police encountered Crimo before the shooting, where he attempted to die by suicide and had a large collection of knives confiscated.
In conclusion, Tucker Carlson suggested that women lecturing men about male privilege and poor mental health are significant factors that contribute to mass shootings in the United States. He also questioned why the authorities did not act more on the red flags they had seen from Crimo.

Buffalo Mass Shooter Points a Gun at White Man, Realizes He's White, then says "Sorry"
A supermarket manager was left in shock when the "white supremacist" gunman, Payton Gendron, lowered his weapon and apologized instead of opening fire, after realizing that the manager was also white. Christopher Braden, a father of two, rushed to the front of the Tops Friendly grocery store in Buffalo when Gendron started shooting at black shoppers, killing ten of them. Braden was hit in the leg and attempted to hide between two registers, but Gendron approached him, took aim with his semi-automatic rifle, and prepared to fire. Braden's close friend and neighbor recounted the terrifying moment when Braden stared death in the face, and he is currently recovering in the hospital from his injuries.
Footage from Gendron's live-streaming camera captured Braden's piercing scream of "no" as he covered his face, preparing to die. However, to everyone's surprise, the gunman casually said "sorry" and backed away. The incident is being investigated as a federal hate crime, and the FBI is involved in the investigation.

Buying and Selling NFT Slaves in the Meta Verse
The prevalence of racism in the world is a direct result of white supremacist ideology and theory. Unfortunately, even in the digital world, such as the metaverse and the newly growing non-fungible tokens (NFT) cryptocurrency, racism persists, causing weariness and dismay for African Americans.
According to Vice, the increasing popularity of NFT has led to the emergence of racist collections that shock the masses, such as the "Floydies," NFTs depicting George Floyd, and the recent project called "Meta Slave."
The creator of Meta Slave, who goes by the Twitter handle @UniqueFractal, initially claimed the collection was inspired by Black Lives Matter and intended to honor George Floyd, but the images associated with the project proved otherwise. Instead of apologizing after facing backlash, the project was rebranded to include images of non-black individuals.
Meta Slave's racist and offensive nature is undeniable, from the intentional selection of every image in the 1865 piece algorithmically generated NFT collection being a Black person to listing one NFT as "Hard Work" with a smiling face and a plant emoji.
Despite claims of a "big misunderstanding" and the intent to show that everyone is a slave to something, the project's intentions remain questionable, particularly when selling black NFTs during Black History Month. It raises serious concerns about the project's motives.
It is essential to call out racist projects like Meta Slave and reject them. Fortunately, OpenSea removed the project, and the NFT community has not embraced it, with only two units sold. The majority of the NFT community is appalled by racist NFT collections, and more should be done to address them.

Lincoln man arrested for hate crime after waving chainsaw, yelling racial slurs
On Saturday afternoon, a 41-year-old man from Lincoln was arrested for committing a hate crime after he threatened a black woman. According to police, the incident occurred when the 25-year-old victim returned to her apartment in a neighborhood near 68th and North Cotner Blvd around 1:40 p.m. on Saturday. As she walked toward the stairs leading up to her apartment, the man, identified as Daniel Stueck, started a chainsaw, revved the engine, and yelled at her to get off his property while using racial slurs.
The woman reported that Stueck was walking down the stairs towards her while waving the saw in a cutting motion. She ran away, and Stueck continued yelling slurs. When interviewed by the police, Stueck claimed that black people had been stealing from him and that the woman was guilty because of her race. He continued to use racial slurs while speaking to the officers.
Witnesses corroborated the victim's account, and Stueck was subsequently arrested for committing a felony hate crime of terroristic threats.

A Woman Harassed for Wearing a Puerto Rico Flag Shirt
A man’s haranguing of a woman for wearing a Puerto Rico flag shirt has sparked controversy after a police officer, who failed to intervene, was allowed to resign without punishment. Mia Irizarry captured the incident, which occurred on 14 June at Caldwell Woods forest preserve in Chicago, on Facebook Live video. The video shows the man, later identified as Timothy Trybus, repeatedly approaching Irizarry, telling her she should not wear the shirt in the US and insisting she should wear the American flag instead.
When Irizarry asks for help, nearby officer Patrick Connor does not intervene, instead turning and walking away. Connor later resigned following criticism, but Irizarry and Puerto Rican advocates have called for further punishment. Meanwhile, Trybus faces two felony hate crime charges and an alcohol assessment.
Would you Hug a Nazi?

Would you Hug a Nazi?
The long-standing question of whether it's acceptable to physically assault a Nazi has a new twist: is it okay to give one a hug? Recently, a protester attempted this approach outside a speech given by white supremacist Richard Spencer in Gainesville, Florida. The protester, Aaron Courtney, who is a black high school football coach, approached Randy Furniss, who was wearing a swastika-emblazoned t-shirt and had been previously punched. Courtney asked Furniss, "Why don't you like me, dog? What is it? What is it?" in an attempt to understand his perspective. Furniss initially ignored the question, but Courtney persisted and eventually embraced him.
According to Courtney, he heard a divine voice say, "You changed his life" as a result. Furniss eventually admitted that he didn't know why he hated Courtney. The interaction was captured on video and demonstrated Courtney's compassionate effort to connect with someone who harbored hateful beliefs. At the very least, he succeeded in silencing one Nazi for a moment.

Alabama GOP Council calls a Black committee member a "House Ni**er"
During a public meeting in Alabama, a councilman was caught on video using the n-word while referring to a Black councilwoman. In the video, Tommy Bryant, a Tarrant city council member, can be heard asking, "Do we have a house [n-word] in here?" after an audience member accused his wife of using the same slur on Facebook. Councilwoman Veronica Freeman, the target of Bryant's comments, was visibly upset and appeared to be sobbing.
Bryant later defended his use of the slur, claiming he was repeating language used by Tarrant City's Black mayor, Wayman Newton, during an executive session earlier that day. According to Bryant, Newton referred to Freeman using the phrase with the prefix "stupid." Bryant accused Newton of using racial slurs and bullying Freeman. Newton declined to comment on whether he used the n-word in relation to Freeman.
Alabama Republican Party Chairman John Wahl criticized Bryant's remarks, calling them "completely unacceptable in any setting." However, he did not call for Bryant's resignation. Newton had previously accused Bryant of calling him "boy" during an argument, which Bryant denies.
The incident highlights the ongoing issue of racism in America and the need for better education and understanding of how such language is harmful and unacceptable.
