Yesterday morning before I had to go to my slave work I decided I would have a quick look on Instagram. The photos above are what everybody was talking about. Of course, I was outraged at the sight of the image of two white men on horses pulling a black man by rope. So, supposedly, Donald Neely was arrested on suspicion of trespassing. First of all, I didn’t know one could be arrested just on suspicion of trespassing?
Well, it is the United States where it’s officially a police state so what do you expect, right? After the photo went viral on social media the police department of Galveston, Texas issued an apologie for making it seem like we were still living in the 1800s. Anyway, whatever, this image represents what racist white Americans wet dreams look like daily.
The police department said they would end the practice of pulling people under arrest by rope. Ok, so you mean to tell me that town has had the policy of pulling people by rope for years after an arrest and nobody noticed or reported this crap until now? America is truly a country detached from reality regarding human decency. Really, are you shocked giving the US history of human rights violation abroad and domestic?
I talked about that story among two other things yesterday. It was beyond maddening seeing the pictures and video. If it weren’t for the cars and fashion, I would’ve thought it was a picture from 1819, not 2019 even though America certainly hadn’t progressed that much since then. I’m positive the Galveston police did it before, but it was their first time being caught.

I agree they have done this before but only this time someone caught them in the act. America has learned anything since the civil rights movement ended. As an American looking from the outside it just looks like a freak show over there. Every time i check the news/independent I just shake my head in disbelief.

Sure thing. It really is a freak show and America has learned nothing. I really don’t blame you for feeling that way.
