Is walking while white now a transgression worthy of a beating? Yes, according to 32-year-old Ebony Steward who faces felony assault charges after she punched two women for being white in a black neighborhood.
The idiocy of Steward’s actions are illustrated by the fact that one of the victims wasn’t even white – she was a light skinned black woman.
The two incidents happened in St. Paul on November 14. The first woman was punched in the face by Steward as she was exiting a nail salon, leaving her with swelling and bruising around her left eye. According to MyFox9, the attack was motivated by the fact that Steward “doesn’t like light-skinned people” (even if they are actually black) and can’t stand it when “bitches” are in her way.
Police were called but did not arrest Steward, merely asking her to leave the scene.
However, a short time later Steward launched another assault on University Avenue. “According to the complaint, when they arrived, they saw a woman later identified as Steward pull a woman to the ground in a parking lot and start punching her. Witnesses told officers there was no apparent reason for the violence.”
The second victim, a white woman, received blows to the back of the head and neck. Police arrested Steward and on the way to Ramsey County Law Enforcement Center, she admitted to officers that she assaulted the woman because she’s a “white girl in the hood.”

she should have been arrested the first time. a prime example of how leniency with "these" people do not work.
ReplyDeleteBut how could this be? We have a whole slew of honest, respectable black people over in Ferguson who believe they have been victims of justice because these events never happen. Isn't it ironic how at the same time the good Rev. Al Sharpton is out on the stump with his crony coward Potus crying for black rights, concurrently, throughout this nation, blacks continue to be the largest percentage of criminals on a daily basis? I think the definition of such ludicrous nonsense is called -- hypocrisy !!! Blacks have a bad reputation because they have earned it. This is yet another example for why its simply true. Wake up black people -- the truth hurts, its just too bad you don't have the guts to face it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Mary Ashante should read about this, rather than 'brief' it....
ReplyDeleteBottom feeders like Ashante don't read and even if they did they would come up with some excuse. That's how bottom feeders operate. They are the lowest of the low. Worse than the criminals themselves and hell awaits them and their ilk.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a hate crime to me.
