‘Beyond grateful to be alive’: Victims of alleged racist attack in Spotsylvania speak out
Amylah Majors and Jamaria Gaskins were on Partlow Road in Spotsylvania County around 6:30 p.m. July 20 when they drove over some debris and heard a thumping sound.
They pulled over on the side of the road, turned on their hazard lights and prepared to inspect their vehicle for damage.
But before they could get out of the car, a man exited a nearby home. When he gave them the “thumbs up” sign, they thought he was going to help them. Instead, they say, he and two others began to berate them with racial slurs and threats.
“They called us [N-words], told us we didn’t belong there, and one of them even exposed himself while screaming hate and slurs at us,” Majors stated on a crowdfunding page.
Two Spotsylvania County residents are facing misdemeanor charges after the incident in the 4300 block of Partlow Road that has drawn the attention of the county’s branch of the NAACP and other social justice activists.
Spotsylvania Sheriff’s Office Maj. Delbert Myrick said more charges could be filed against Mark Goodman and Elizabeth Wolfrey, who were recorded taunting the Black couple from Richmond. Majors and Gaskins were in the area visiting Gaskins’ mother, a resident of neighboring Caroline County.
Wolfrey, 32, is charged with one count of pointing and brandishing a firearm, while Goodman, 59, is facing a charge of indecent exposure after he was recorded exposing his backside to the couple. A third person recorded during the incident was not charged with a crime “at this time,” Myrick said.

He probably sees it as proof there is no longer racism?

This amazes me that Manny white people appreciate the music, the movie, the athlete, being entertained in general by non white people, but turn around and don't want non white people as neighbors or co workers or church members. Unfortunately most of these idiots don't see it as racism.So you don't think white people that are racists listen to black artists?

Slaveowners had their slaves provide entertainment on the regular. The slave-fighting-slave thing depicted in Django Unchained was real, though it was not usually to the death.

Can I ask what made you bump this thread?

Racism is an issue for two reasons. A) Racism in it's true form, like the comments by Hochul and B) finding racism where it doesn't exist (Serena Williams). Both are terrible for the country.
I'm trying to represent option B, which probably wouldn't be represented here otherwise, and adding some humor.

Yeah, she didn't say anything about racism. She said it doesn't feel great. She's entitled to that opinion and doesn't have to ask your permission to express it.
My last response to your dumb cracker ass on this thread.

It was implied and you know it.
I never said she couldn't feel how she feels, have the opinion that she has or needed my permission for anything. When you put your feelings on full display via social media, you're opening yourself up to responses.
That's racist.

What's wrong? Did my comment make you feel "not so great"?

My bad. I'm sorry, Ddseddse.
It totally tracks that Zen would bump a thread for some ridiculous reason.
Yep.You must have zen on ignore also.

Taco just earned my first ignore ever. His return has been the one and only downside to the new ZZL-P. Tired of his bad faith bullshit.

Folks, really, just ignore them and they will knock it off or go elsewhere to seek their contrarian/controversy fix. It's really that simple. I've been doing it now for several years.
