Animals
A farewell to North Carolina wildlife...I particularly like the young anhinga. For no real reason I've always been partial to anhingas.
Crime
Seems this couple thought of an unusual distraction technique for large-scale shoplifting: One of them pushed a full cart right through the checkout line without paying for anything, while the other distracted everyone by defecating on the floor. Norovirus has been reported making the rounds this winter so the store staff had to work with the possibility that the woman might have been in real distress...rather than chortling to herself while her partner loaded provisions for a month into the car, free of charge.
Is it racist to report this story? The thieves were Black, but would it be racist to report the story if they'd been White?
Child. In the DC schools we used to have some teachers who could make students feel that it is racist, deeply anti-Black, an act of self-hate and hate for your family and your community, to shoplift while Black. I don't think they are on the Internet. They never used the'Net more than was required at work. But the Internet would be better off if they were here.
"When you're Black you're just Black, you can't help but be Black,
But because you are Black, you don't have to stay back!
Be Black, be Black, and be conscious!"
