I feel bad for Anyika Onuora, but does anyone believe racists threw bricks through her house on "most nights" in UK?

A "brick through her front window most nights"? Should be easy enough to provide a few hundred pictures of evidence. What about the name of the local window repair shop? Surely a family that called to have a window replaced "most mornings" would be remembered. What about a copy of even a single police report or insurance claim?

Preposterous. Nothing this crazy person says can be trusted.

Not reading the story. Don’t know the athlete. Don’t really care.

Plenty of racist things happen to people all the time. To me, it makes no sense to make up stories. but people do. People LOVE to be part of something.

I understand people use hyperbole all the time. So much so, it becomes part of their vernacular; skewing THEIR reality and others perceptions of that persons reality. Just look at this message board. It’s a competition of who can lie the best, i.e. fabricate the most bizarre, unusual, ridiculous, strange story for likes. My worse pet peeve right now is people who use “literally” as a placeholder. It’s used so much that nothing someone says is believable.

anyway, I’m sure bad stuff happened to her. That sucks. If the stories are factual, it sucks more. Whether they’re true or not won’t make racism go away. Hopefully she’s happy(ier) now.

I don’t believe that you feel bad for her anymore than I believe that it was “most nights” (an embellishment that makes no difference to me).

Oh yeah guys, you've really nailed the issue here.

Isn't one brick thru the windows enough? WTF is wrong with you people?

I read a brick though her window most nights as:

Every time they fix the window, someone would immediately break it again within a few days.

Neighbors obviously didn't want someone "like her" in the neighborhood. Local authorities either looked the other way or were active participants.

Is this as bad as racism in the US? Google the term sundown towns. Similar idea.

"Racism is horrible but exaggerating is also horrible" should be the tagline of LRC. Way more fitting for the messageboard posters than dreams becoming reality.

I broke a window once with a snow ball when I was in high school. Firstly I didn't think a snow ball would break a window. Secondly, I threw it at a team mates house because I was angry with him. We both had the same flesh tone, so there was nothing racists about it. So I learned a lesson.

I'm an American so I can't realistically speak to what happens in the UK. But bricks being thrown through windows seems difficult to believe. Seriously is this a thing over in Europe, or is it a nothing burger looking for attention?

So she's from an area of Liverpool that wasn't the most diverse 20 years ago.

Yes back then bricks did get thrown through people's windows if they didn't like you.

Did it happen most nights? Highly unlikely, her brother was a footballer and would have been making some money so could have moved her if it was that bad I guess.

There are a few areas of Liverpool that if you were white and tried to go there you aould have got chased out 20 years ago also.

The area she's from is really bad.

This reminds me of the few occasions each year where I watch premier league football with friends. You see signs around the stadiums to REMIND folks that racist remarks aren’t tolerated. When England lost in the final last year (Euro champs?), the black players who missed their penalty kicks where destroyed with bigoted statements in social media and such.

So yes, it’s really bad out there too.

It's because "racism" is capital/currency. The left/progs have made it as such. So just like people find incentive to counterfeit currency, there is incentive to counterfeit racism. Sadly this devalues real racism and leads to "boy who cries wolf" scenarios where cries of racism can no longer be trusted.

ITT: A bunch of white guys can't wrap their heads around the level of racism faced by a black woman and their gut instinct is to call her a liar and seek to discredit her. This despite the fact that the validity of her statement doesn't affect them at all.

Yes, in certain areas the UK was absolutely racist 20 years ago. It happened. Get over it.

I am from the UK by the way.

this is really classic letsrun under the watchful eye of the daddy's money brojos

"nothing is worse than exaggeration, not even racism!"

Yes. Just not the media coverage of it.

Think she forget to mention the noose they put around her neck.

Oh wait, that was another made up story.

Im thinking when you're 14 yrs old and this vandslism goes down more than a few times, someone with ongoing (trust) issues might refer to it as "All the time," or "every night."

In the meantime, why don't you reach out to Derek about this.

Yeah, that's what I meant to say... Aaand all a yall are a buncha dickweeds.
