Yes, everything is about race

When I make posts about institutional racism. This is a shining reminder of what it looks like.

Jody Greene, a white Republican, was elected sheriff of Columbus County, North Carolina in 2018, narrowly defeating Lewis Hatcher, the county’s first Black sheriff, by roughly 34 votes in a race that was litigated over Greene’s residency eligibility. X In February 2019, shortly after taking office, Greene called then-Captain Jason Soles and, believing Black employees had leaked information to Hatcher, said he was “sick of these Black bastards,” vowed to “clean house,” and specifically targeted Black deputy Melvin Campbell and Hatcher by name, calling them snakes who deserved to be fired. Campbell was fired within weeks. Soles tried for years to get the State Bureau of Investigation to act on the recording, but it wasn’t until he ran against Greene in the 2022 election and released the tape to local NBC affiliate WECT that September that it became public. The North Carolina Sheriffs’ Association denounced the comments and Greene resigned from that group, while District Attorney Jon David filed a petition to remove Greene from office, citing the racist comments alongside allegations of intimidating officials, an inappropriate relationship with an employee, and negligence tied to a detainee’s serious injury at the county jail. A judge suspended Greene pending that removal case, Greene still won reelection in November 2022, then resigned as sheriff for good in January 2023 after WECT reported a federal investigation was underway. That federal probe, run jointly by the FBI and IRS, has since expanded well beyond the racist recordings into allegations of obstruction of justice, financial kickbacks, money laundering, and tax evasion involving dozens of Columbus County business owners and officials. As of this year, more than 3 years after the recordings surfaced, no indictments have been filed, the SBI and DA’s office say the investigation remains active, and Greene has declined to comment. A local news nonprofit and The Assembly are now separately suing Columbus County for withholding public records connected to the case. He has resigned twice since the release of the recordings. Last resignation was in 2023. #RaceAtWorldWar #RAWW #BeBalance Insta: Justice_is_Just_us

I AM A MAN

40 year old Tamla Horsford passed on November 4, 2018, after attending a “football moms” sleepover at a home in Cumming, Georgia. She was the only Black woman among roughly ten attendees, and was found in the backyard the next morning with severe injuries to her head, neck and torso. The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office initially ruled it an accidental fall, and after public pressure forced the case to reopen in 2020, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation ultimately closed it again in 2021 without filing charges against anyone. Nearly eight years later, the case of 18 year old Nolan Wells is drawing comparisons online for a similar pattern. Wells, a Black teenager and college football player, disappeared on July 4 after a boat trip to Horn Island, Mississippi with a group of friends who appear to be mostly white in photos from the outing. As with Horsford, investigators have described the circumstances leading up to his disappearance as unclear, and the people who were with him have not offered a detailed public account of what happened in the hours before he went missing. A body has since been found on the island. The parallel people are drawing is simple, a person is surrounded by a peer group, a night that ends in tragedy, and an investigation that leaves the public with more questions than answers. Horsford’s case became a symbol of how differently these situations can be treated depending on who is involved, and many are now watching the Wells case wondering whether it will follow the same trajectory or produce the accountability Horsford’s family never got.

A Black woman on a train surrounded by masked white supremacists, emboldened in Trump’s America. One for the history books.
