Positive aspects of owning other human beings.

The article doesn't indicate that the owners are Dumpy supporters, but it seems likely: "White golf course owners said five African American women were playing too slowly. Then they called the police."

Spoiler

Five African American women say they were discriminated against at a Pennsylvania golf club when they were told they were taking too long on the course — and then the police were called.

On Saturday morning, the women — who, according to local media, were experienced golfers and part of a group called Sisters in the Fairway — teed off at Grandview Golf Course in York County. The women told the York Daily Record that they were told by the club’s owners they were not keeping a quick-enough pace. The club offered to refund their memberships and then called 911.

The confrontation follows a spate of similar confrontations among businesses, their customers or members, and the police. From the arrests of two African American men at a Philadelphia Starbucks to a 911 call made on two African American men working out at a New Jersey gym, the incidents have reignited racial tensions in commercial spaces and cast scrutiny on how law enforcement and companies respond.

“I felt we were discriminated against,” one of the women, Myneca Ojo, told the York Daily Record. “It was a horrific experience.”

The golf club, represented in a video interview by co-owner JJ Chronister, has since apologized. She does not appear to have been present during the confrontation but told the Daily Record she had personally contacted each of the five women and hoped to “use this as a learning opportunity” for the owners and their employees. The club did not return a request for comment by The Post.

Golf has also historically struggled to include and advance African Americans, from elite athletes to amateur players. In his book about winning the 1997 U.S. Masters, Tiger Woods wrote of how golf has long been an unwelcoming and uncomfortable sport for black people.

And it was only in 2012 that Augusta National, one of the most exclusive golf clubs in the country and that hosts the Masters, admitted its first female members.

Sandra Thompson, another of the women who is also the president of the York chapter of the NAACP, told the Daily Record that her group was set to tee off at 10:08 a.m. Saturday but was delayed for almost an hour because of frost on the course. Thompson said a clerk at the course said the group could play with five players, as opposed to a more traditional group of four or fewer. Thompson did not immediately return a request for comment by The Post.

After completing their second hole, Ojo and another woman in the group, Karen Crosby, said they were approached by Steve Chronister, who told them he was the owner of the club and that the women needed “to keep up the pace of play.”

“He was extremely hostile,” Ojo told the York Daily Record.

JJ Chronister said her father-in-law, Steve, is not an owner of the club but instead serves in an advisory capacity.

Also at the second hole, another woman in the group, Sandra Harrison, talked with a golf course pro who said the women were keeping a fine pace.

Steve Chronister approached the women again to tell them to hurry along. Thompson said they had kept the group ahead of them within their sights the whole time, as is consistent with golf etiquette.

Thompson said Chronister told them: “You’re going too slow. I’ll give you a refund,” suggesting he didn’t want the women as members.

“I said: ‘Do you realize we’re the only black women on this course, and you’re only coming up to us? We paid, we want to play.’ He walked off in a huff,” Thompson told the York Daily Record.

The group skipped the third hole, only to arrive at the fourth hole behind a group that had not yet teed off, Thompson said.

When the women reached the ninth hole, three of them — Harrison, Crosby and Carolyn Dow — left because they were so shaken up by the confrontation. Thompson said that she and Ojo were then approached by Steve Chronister and his son, Jordan Chronister, who is JJ’s husband.

The Chronisters, along with other employees, told the women they had five minutes to leave and that they had called the police. They were also offered checks to refund their memberships.

Crosby told the York Daily Record that Jordan Chronister was “aggressive, confrontational and condescending.”

Jordan Chronister told the women that he had timed them on their break and that they had gone beyond the 20-minute time cap. Yet Thompson noted that the women were also told they had been timed as being on the first nine holes for one hour and 45 minutes. The course rules allow a total of four hours and 15 minutes — suggesting the women would have had time to spare if they kept their pace for the last nine holes.

In videos posted by the York Daily Record and by Sandra Thompson on YouTube, a man who identifies himself as Jordan Chronister tells the women he had been timing them while they took a break from 12:45 to 1:28. He speaks over a woman who is asking him to explain why her group was approached. Chronister also laughs at the woman and assumes a mocking tone. At one point, Chronister is told by another man in the frame to “let the police handle it.”

Chronister then turns toward the camera and tells the women to leave the course in the next five minutes and that the police have been called. The other man in the frame tells Chronister that “this is what she wants. This is what she does for a living.”

The woman filming says she doesn’t understand why they were asked to leave the course.

“What was the confrontation? You came to us,” she said. “We were trying to tee off and five of you men came up to us.”

Officers from the Northern York County Regional Police arrived and left without filing any charges.

“No result on our end, no action,” Northern York County Regional Police Chief Mark Bentzel told the York Daily Record. “We were called there for an issue. The issue did not warrant any charges. All parties left, and we left as well.”

The police department did not immediately return a request for comment by The Post.

In a second statement released Monday, JJ Chronister said that in the past, “players who have not followed the rules, specifically pace of play, have voluntarily left at our request as our scorecard states. In this instance, the members refused to leave so we called police to ensure an amicable result. … During the second conversation we asked members to leave as per our policy noted on the scorecard, voices escalated, and the police were called to ensure an amicable resolution.”

JJ Chronister told the York Daily Record that her family was interested in “getting long-term resolution, not short-term resolution. … We’re not looking at surface or quick fixes, because surface or quick fixes doesn’t fix the mind-set of what led to this.”

Thompson told the York Daily Record that she was hoping for sensitivity and diversity training — not just a meeting with the golf club.

I saw on Facebook where these fucks were being so apologetic. I called bullshit on that. They’re not sorry about the treatment these women received. They’re sorry they got caught.

It can be very exhausting to be black. Where are we allowed to go?! Not a waffle house, nor starbucks or now a golf course. It's disgusting how some white people can be so threaten by our presence that they know police will do what they can to remove us.

Court: Branch Trumpvidians can be thrown out of bars.

Quote

A Manhattan judge ruled Wednesday that there’s nothing “outrageous” about throwing the president’s supporters out of bars — because the law doesn’t protect against political discrimination.

Philadelphia accountant Greg Piatek, 31, was bounced from a West Village watering hole in January 2017, just after Trump took the oath of office, for wearing a “Make America Great Again” cap, according to his lawsuit over the incident.

 And this dipshit claimed that MAGA is a religious belief;

Quote

“He was paying spiritual tribute to the victims of 9/11. The Make American Great Again hat was part of his spiritual belief,” Liggieri claimed. Piatek and his pals had, in fact, visited the memorial before the bar.

“Rather than remove his hat, instead he held true to his spiritual belief and was forced from the bar,” Liggieri said.

Awwww....Branch Trumpvidians had their fee fees hurt because we don't respect fornicate face enough 

Quote

NPR this week reached out to some top Trump supporters to get a feel for their current emotional state — and it found that they are as angry and aggrieved as ever, despite controlling all three branches of the federal government.

Talking with NPR, Trump supporter Kurt Schlichter complained that liberals keep making fun of him instead of taking him as seriously as he deserves.

“We want to be treated with respect and we will not tolerate anything less which is just unacceptable for this to continue,” he told NPR. “I’m tired of Hollywood spitting on us. I am tired of academia spitting on us. I’m tired of the news media spitting on us.”

John Hawkins, the founder of Right Wing News, similarly tells NPR that Trump supporters often feel sad when they see comedians making fun of the president on late-night shows.

And if they want the answer to why can't I five fornicate face the respect they think he's entitled to?

Because.  I.  Am.  Not.  One.  Of.  His.  FANS!

*facepalms* Honey, you just admitted in an interview that your critics are really upsetting you, which means that you have now pointed out to them exactly what they should do to make you rant and rave like a nutbag. How can a grown man be that damn stupid?!? 

Also, too, exactly who told you that you have the right to be respected or taken seriously? You can kick people out of your life if they don't treat you the way you think you should be treated, but other people retain the right to think or believe  whatever they please about you, me, or anybody else on this planet.

Of course they are.

Though I did notice this: "Now even the Christian culture is O.K. with it,” said Jim Daly, the president of Focus on the Family, one of the nation’s largest evangelical groups. “That’s the sadness,” he added. “The next time a Democrat in the presidency has a moral failure, who’s going to be able to say anything?"

I hope we remember that for the future! They stayed silent throughout Trump, and he's even bragged about his conquests.

Of course the fact that they stayed silent all through fornicate face's moral failings would never stop the reich wing from passing judgment on a Democratic President slips up.

These reich wingers are the living embodiment of Matthew 7;

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.  For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?   How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?  You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

They want to preach to anyone they might want to take the fornicating redwood trees out of their own G-D eyes first.

The Master Race, Y'all

Quote

Authorities have charged 57 white supremacists with crimes related to a yearslong methamphetamine operation in Texas, a federal court has revealed.

In an indictment unsealed Monday by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas and obtained by HuffPost, white supremacists from six different groups are facing charges including drug trafficking and kidnapping.

Members from the Aryan Circle, the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas, the Aryan Brotherhood, the Peckerwoods, the Soldiers of Aryan Culture and the Dirty White Boys “engaged in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and other illegal narcotics throughout the Northern District of Texas and elsewhere,” according to the indictment. 

The groups all have ties to white supremacist ideology, including the Ayran Circle, which believes “in the complete separation of the races.” The Aryan Brotherhood, meanwhile, may have as many as 20,000 members, the indictment says.

Good point.   Hadn't thought of that when I posted the latest exploits of the master race, y'all.  That would be something to ask a branch trumpvidian when he or she starts pontificating about drugs and Mexico.  Of course they'd twist themselves in to all sorts of pretzels trying to weasel out of that.

Meanwhile up in Maryland

Quote

Maryland residents were disturbed when a billboard appeared on Solomons Island Road in Calvert County that seemed to threaten opponents of President Donald Trump with an armed insurrection.

“Hey liberals,” reads the billboard. “Better get your guns if you try to impeach President Trump. From all of your deplorables in Calvert County.”

The Calvert County Sheriff’s Office has reportedly been “flooded with phone calls” regarding the sign.

The sign's owner will reportedly change the sign after he returns to town, following a discussion with the sheriff.
