Maryland city's 'Racial Equity Officer' outed as another hateful advocate for a race-based revolution



College Park, a Maryland city situated just four miles northeast of the nation's capital, appears to have trouble finding municipal officials without significant baggage. In November, the previous mayor, gay LGBT activist Patrick Wojahn, received a 30-year sentence after pleading guilty to 140 counts of child pornography-related charges.

This week, reports exposed the progressive city's so-called "Racial Equity Officer" Kayla Aliese Carter as an apparent identitarian, both antipathetic to police and committed to "Black liberation" through revolutionary means.

College Park has already replaced its mayor, and it is now reportedly investigating its equity officer's racially charged social media posts.

The poster

According to her LinkedIn, Carter has served as College Park's "Racial Equity Officer" since May 2022. The role appears to have been created in keeping with a Black Lives Matter-themed resolution, 20-R-16, passed by the city's pedophile mayor prior to his conviction.

Carter indicated that in the role, she provides "guidance on government policies and practices that have negatively impacted specific populations and then establish processes to implement, support, and sustain plans and actions to advance racial equity in the city's communities."

"In this role I also chair College Park's GARE (Government Alliance on Race and Equity) Cohort, serve as staff liaison for the city's 'Restorative Justice Commission,' and most importantly, advocate for and work on behalf of the citizens of College Park who have been victimized by unjust policies and practices," wrote Carter.

The city acknowledges on its website that Carter is responsible for "designing, coordinating, and organizing racial equity plans" and has "assembled a core team to execute the development of equity assessment tools."

Fox News Digital indicated that Carter makes $75,600 in her role with the city, which is several thousand dollars more than the average salary for the state.

The posts

Carter's provocative remarks on X recently caught the attention of sleuths who managed to take note before she was able to set her account to private. While her posts are now protected, her controversial header remains, featuring an image of a thought bubble with the caption, "I can't wait for society to collapse so MY ideology can rise from the ashes!"

The National Desk reported that in May 2020, Carter wrote, "Today I cohosted and occupied space with dozens of people who have committed their lives, businesses and money to Black liberation."

"Already planning (BEEN PLANNING) for how we will eat and live and grow after we burn it all down," added the city official.

"Do yall understand why the oppressed are constantly shamed out of using violence???" Carter reportedly wrote in another post following George Floyd's death. "BECAUSE THE OPPRESSOR WANTS TO BE THE SOLE PROFITEER OF VIOLENCE."

Carter reportedly stated in August 2020, "The police ARE the White supremacists."

In 2021, Carter wrote, "I hate when White children stare at me. It's literally terrifying, so I just stare back until they stop."

After becoming a city official, Carter wrote in July 2022, "This is why I cant trust yT [white] people," reported Fox News Digital.

"How many 'equity' trainings will my job trick me into attending where I log on to see a yT [white] woman teaching me about institutional racism like BE FR," Carter wrote in 2023.

The response

College Park City Manager Kenny Young said in a statement Wednesday, "The City has been made aware of Racial Equity Officer Kayla Carter's posts on her personal accounts. Ms. Carter's views expressed on her personal accounts do not reflect the opinions, beliefs, and core values of the City of College Park and its Mayor and Council."

"The City is investigating the matter and will take appropriate action," continued Young. "This is a personnel matter and the City officials and staff cannot comment further on this personnel issue."

Blaze News reached out to Carter for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

Republican Maryland Del. Nino Mangione wrote on X, "The blatant racism on full display from Kayla Aliese Carter is on full display for the entire world to see. She should be immediately terminated from her position in city government and apologize for her offensive, vile, vulgar statements."

"Leaders of good will across Maryland should forcefully condemn Ms. Carter's words and actions immediately," added Mangione. "There is no room for this inexcusable hatred and intolerance in Maryland. People with attitudes like this should not be excused."

Billionaire Elon Musk, responding to a report about Carter's remarks, wrote, "Woke ideology wants you to die."

Carter reportedly responded by writing, "Omg Elon, knows who I am ... CASHAPP ME."

All-American swim star Riley Gaines tweeted, "Don't believe them when they tell you it's not a cult."

"How do you feel about paying your taxes now?" wrote Turning Point USA.

Trump lawyers push for Fani Willis' disqualification, claiming she has fomented 'racial animus and prejudice'



Fani Willis' disastrous January is nearly at an end, but her troubles appear to be just getting started.

The Fulton County district attorney is expected to receive a subpoena to testify in court next month concerning accusations of misconduct and possible criminality, according to CNN.

The allegations Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee will take up at a hearing scheduled for Feb. 15 — and Willis may have to speak to — are also of interest to the Fulton County commissioner, Georgia congresswoman, and state senator who have recently called for investigations into possible wrongdoing on Willis' part.

Although her reputation and career are on the line, Willis' 2020 election interference case against former President Donald Trump is also at risk of crumbling.

Lawyers for Trump filed a request Thursday to disqualify Willis from prosecuting the Republican front-runner in Georgia. Trump's lawyers have built upon the previous motion to disqualify filed on behalf of his co-defendant, Michael Roman, and are now claiming Willis has fomented "racial animus and prejudice against the defendants."

Going through the motions

The Jan. 8 court motion to disqualify Willis, filed in the Superior Court of Fulton County on behalf of Roman, called out the Democratic DA for alleged misconduct and possible criminality, claiming she improperly appointed Nathan Wade, an inexperienced and married special counsel with whom she was apparently romantically involved. Despite Willis' later protestation in church, employment documents suggest she also paid Wade better than at least one other special counsel.

According to the motion, Wade allegedly used Fulton County funds received by his law firm and approved by Willis to pay for their extravagant international and domestic trips together. He has reportedly been paid over $650,000 in legal fees since January 2022.

Credit card statements recently exposed in Wade's divorce case revealed Nathan Wade paid Willis' way for joint getaways, including airline trips to Miami in October 2022 and to San Francisco in April 2023.

The motion suggested the arrangement between Wade and Willis was not only unethical but may have involved the commission of a federal crime prosecutable under the federal racketeering statute.

Another motion to disqualify

Lawyers for Trump have joined the effort to disqualify Willis, reiterating in a Thursday motion that the Black Panther's daughter created a conflict of interest by hiring her lover to help prosecute the case, reported the New York Times.

Trump's lawyers also suggested that Willis likely prejudiced prospective jurors against Trump and violated Georgia bar rules by claiming before a church full of people that criticism of her was animated by racism.

Willis told a congregation in Atlanta on Jan. 14 that those critical of Wade's appointment were "playing the race card."

"I'm a little confused. I appointed three special counselors. It's my right to do. Paid them all the same hourly rate. They only attacked one," said Willis. Documents reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation indicated Willis did not pay all three special counselors at the same rate.

The Democratic DA also painted herself as a victim of racism, stating, "[God,] you did not tell me as a woman of color it would not matter what I did. My motive, my talent, my ability, and my character would be constantly attacked."

The Thursday filing called Willis' comments "a glaring, flagrant and calculated effort to foment racial bias into this case by publicly denouncing the defendants for somehow daring to question her decision to hire a Black man."

According to the filing, Willis' remarks "engender a great likelihood of substantial prejudice towards the defendants in the eyes of the public in general, and prospective jurors in Fulton County in particular," reported USA Today.

Steve Sadow, Trump's lead defense counsel in the Georgia case, said, "The motion filed today on behalf of President Trump seeks to hold District Attorney Willis legally accountable both for her misconduct alleged in a motion filed by Mr. Roman, as well as her extrajudicial public statements falsely and intentionally injecting race into this case."

Willis has injected race into the case not only publicly but behind the scenes of the case.

Blaze News previously reported that Willis intimated in an email exchange last week that at least one of the defense lawyers in the Georgia election interference case was a racist, writing, "Some people will never be able to respect African Americans and/or women as their equal and counterpart."

"Her attempt to foment racial animus and prejudice against the defendants in order to divert and deflect attention away from her alleged improprieties calls out for the sanctions of dismissal and disqualification," said Sadow.

Former Equinox employee fired after showing up late 47 times during 10-month stint awarded $11.25 million in racial discrimination case



A woman allegedly fired for showing up late 47 times during her brief 10-month stint managing personal trainers at an Upper East Side gym in New York is poised to become a multimillionaire.

Robynn Europe, a black 39-year-old, was awarded $10 million in punitive damages and $1.25 million for alleged distress by a New York City jury comprising five women and three men in a racial discrimination case against Equinox, reported the New York Times.

The former Oberlin College art student worked for Equinox from 2018 until 2019. Initially hired as a fitness manager, she was quickly promoted to personal training manager.

Ten months into her tenure at the club, Equinox canned the manager, citing her consistent tardiness.

Court documents indicate that the company maintains a policy on attendance and punctuality, outlined in the Equinox employee handbook Europe read upon first being hired.

The policy stated, "Routinely reporting to work late and failing to work your scheduled hours are violations of Equinox policy that can result in termination."

In one instance, on April 15, 2019, Europe received a disciplinary "Record of Discussion" after she had allegedly turned up late to work nine times over the previous 15 days. This workplace citation included a cautionary note underscoring that "the potential consequences for continued unsatisfactory performance issues included termination."

Europe did not deny that she flouted the company's policy on tardiness. Instead, she claimed her routine contravention of company policy was ultimately used as a pretext to fire her. She was convinced — or at the very least convinced the jury — that her September 2019 termination was motivated instead by racism and other forms of prejudice.

She filed a lawsuit against Equinox and three Equinox employees in 2022, claiming that she was subjected to employment discrimination on the basis of her sex, race, and disability. The lawsuit further suggested that Equinox failed to investigate Europe's complaints of racially and sexually inappropriate behavior, electing instead to use her unrepentant tardiness as a way to oust her.

Equinox counterclaimed that Europe had not shown circumstances giving rise to an inference of discrimination or that the non-discriminatory reason for canning her was pretextual. The company further stressed that it does not "tolerate discrimination in any form."

Following the jury's decision to award Europe well over $11 million in a timely fashion, Equinox filed a motion asking the court to reconsider the case, reported the Times.

Lawyers for the company stressed that the jurors, "guided by sympathy and emotion," had "erroneously" bought into Europe's victim narrative.

Susan Crumiller, Europe's lawyer, said in a statement, "The jury sent a loud message to Equinox that there are serious consequences for corporations that permit racist and sexist behavior in the workplace. ... Let this be a warning to all businesses in New York that if you try to brush harassment and discrimination under the rug, you will not get away with it."

Elon Musk dips his toe into 'Dilbert' cartoonist controversy, says US media is 'racist against whites & Asians'



South African billionaire Elon Musk embroiled himself Sunday in the controversy surrounding "Dilbert" cartoonist Scott Adams' recent racially charged remarks and resultant cancellation, suggesting that the same media outfits now crying racism are hardly guiltless, having themselves long peddled division in America.

What is the background?

A host of newspapers across the United States — including USA Today, the Washington Post, and the New York Times — have dropped Adams' long-running comic strip, suggesting that his remarks on a Feb. 22 episode of the YouTube show "Real Coffee with Scott Adams" were hateful and "discriminatory."

TheBlaze previously reported that Adams had cited videos of black people beating white people and a Rasmussen poll indicating that only 53% of black respondents agreed with the statement, "It's OK to be white."

"That's a hate group and I don't want to have anything to do with them," said Adams. "And I would say, based on the current way things are going, the best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from black people."

"Just get the f*** away," Adams emphasized, adding, "Wherever you have to go, just get away. Because there's no fixing this. This can't be fixed, right. ... I'm gonna back off from being helpful to black America, because it doesn't seem like it pays off. I've been doing it all my life, and the only outcome is I get called a racist. ... It makes no sense to help black Americans if you're white. It's over. Don't even think it's worth trying. Totally not trying."

\u201cThis is the absolute truth what @ScottAdamsSays is saying here. He had to have known that all the coward newspapers would drop his Dilbert comic strip. I admire Scott Adams for doing it anyway.\u201d
— Jesse Lee Peterson (@Jesse Lee Peterson) 1677365359

The Miami Herald reported that Adams attempted to clarify his remarks on Saturday, suggesting that he had been making a point that "everyone should be treated as an individual" without discrimination.

"But you should also avoid any group that doesn't respect you, even if there are people within the group who are fine," said Adams.

The cartoonist claimed that CNN's Don Lemon was of a similar mind, sharing a 2013 video wherein the scandal-plagued news-reader detailed five things he believed black people ought to do to "fix the problem." Among the host's suggestions were recommendations to black Americans to hold off having kids and to emulate "predominantly white neighborhoods" by picking up litter.

Adams also suggested that what he had proposed was not dissimilar from former Vice President Mike Pence's personal policy, according to which the politician would never dine alone with any woman other than his wife.

"The Mike Pence rule would say you wanna get some distance. Now is that racist? Yeah, by definition," said Adams. "But it's racist in a personal success context, which is completely allowable."

Despite his attempts at clarification, Gannett, which publishes over 100 papers in the U.S., indicated it would drop "Dilbert," reported the Daily Mail.

The Los Angeles Times, various Hearst Newspapers (e.g., the San Antonio Express-News), certain Advance Local media publications, and other outfits are similarly ditching the comic strip, which has been in circulation since 1989.

The San Antonio Express-News indicated it was curbing "Dilbert" because "of hateful and discriminatory public comments by its creator."

Chris Quinn, editor of the Plain Dealer, wrote of the decision, "This is a decision based on the principles of this news organization and the community we serve. ... We are not a home for those who espouse racism. We certainly do not want to provide them with financial support."

John Hiner, VP of content for Michigan's MLive Media, wrote Friday, "MLive has zero tolerance for racism. And we certainly will not spend our money supporting purveyors of it."

The papers doth protest too much

Following Adams' initial cancellation and in response to a comment contextualizing the cartoonist's remarks, Twitter CEO Elon Musk wrote, "The media is racist."

Musk added in a subsequent post, "For a *very* long time, US media was racist against non-white people, now they’re racist against whites & Asians. Same thing happened with elite colleges & high schools in America. Maybe they can try not being racist."

\u201c@monitoringbias For a *very* long time, US media was racist against non-white people, now they\u2019re racist against whites & Asians. \n\nSame thing happened with elite colleges & high schools in America.\n\nMaybe they can try not being racist.\u201d
— Monitoring Bias (@Monitoring Bias) 1677332686

The tech magnate then concurred with Christopher Ferguson, a psychology professor at Stetson University, who tweeted, "Adams' comments weren't good. But there's an element of truth to this. ... It's complicated. Mainly we've leaned into identity with predictable results, and power today is complicated. We were on the right path with colorblindness and need to return to it."

Musk may have arrived at this opinion having glimpsed the kinds of headlines below that routinely appear in the liberal media, advancing identity politics and sifting complex issues through the singular lens of race:

Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, suggested that the leftist media's use of "'Black' and 'White' to describe people" is evidence of a "pernicious racialism with which the South African apartheid system would be quite comfortable. #CriticalRaceTheory."

CNN news-reader Oliver Darcy asked whether media organizations should "respond to Musk the same way they did to Adams?"

In response, Adams wrote, "Who stoked racial division for the past five years? Was that me? Or Musk?

The Rabbit Hole elicited an "interesting" from Musk by suggesting that the terms "Racist" and "Racism" saw a significant spike in media usage over the past decade:
