This racist white Martha decided she would harass two Latinas speaking Spanish and TANYA IS NOT HAVING IT TODAY!!!

C’mon now Ellen! You better put Susan in her place and do some heavy lifting to make up for your 53% sistren! 

I have never in my life felt so blessed by hearing a white woman say “I’m calling the cops!” This is the only Bethanny I want near me; use your cop-calling superpowers for good, not evil.

The white woman who helped the women being harassed is Kamira Trent. The incident occurred in Rifle, Colorado.

The racist harassing two innocent women for speaking Spanish is Linda Dwire. After Trent rightly called the police to report Dwire’s threatening behavior and harassment, Dwire was arrested and charged with two counts of bias-motivated harassment. She maintains that she is not racist, just “patriotic” and believes that immigrants should be required to learn English to “prove” they “love” America enough to live here, and states that she frequently confronts random people in public for speaking languages other than English.

Kudos to Ms. Trent for using her white privilege to defend others being victimized by racist harassment. She urges others to “stand up and say something. Letting that [racist incidents like this one] happen is really what’s wrong with our country.”

The reality is as good as I hoped.
