Touré posted this just a couple of days ago … four days after Ben Crump quietly deleted his tweet about the white woman stealing a Citi Bike from a group of black teenagers. Touré apparently doesn’t care that the woman’s lawyer produced the receipts for the bike and threatened defamation lawsuits. To him, she still faked tears as she tried to steal the bike from them. Not only that, Touré said the teens behaved admirably and remained calm and polite.
The Black kids in the CitiBike Karen video behave admirably. They remain calm and polite while she tries to steal the bike and fakes tears. If you think they're thugs you're using thug as a synonym for the n-word.

First, is he serious? Yes, we believe he’s serious. He’s that far out of touch. And second, be careful about using the n-word, because Touré believes that calling someone the n-word is threatening their life and justifies a lethal response. (He also thinks that “woke,” like “thug,” is just a polite way of saying the n-word.)
We were going to express wonder that MSNBC ever gave this guy his own show, but then we remembered that they still employ Joy Reid.

You realize that's a lie right?
Your version of the story is a complete fabrication. https://t.co/emFZamONYM

Got an update on this one, champ?

So you’re saying they stole her bike politely? No they’re thug trash – as is anyone of any color that would do what they did. But nice attempt at race baiting and spin.

You're clearly lost on this one. Surely you can find a better clip to grift off?

They're thugs because they were taking a bike she paid for.

They remain calm and polite while arguing that they should get a bike from a pregnant working lady. At best, seems like a serious lack of male role models for these kids. In reality, they were trying to punk her for the bike, which makes them punks (or thugs if you prefer).

Admirable behavior – They called the pregnant lady stupid one gentleman told her ‘lady your baby girl gonna come out retarded’
— Tony Chuck 🇺🇸 (@hplc_tech) May 23, 2023
“Move yo stupid ass” “You baby gonna come out retarded” Yeah, super admirable behavior. Extremely polite.
— AK Cooper (@AKCooper315832) May 22, 2023
Imagine thinking so lowly of black people them telling a women her baby will come out retarded is considered polite for them
— Sillyworld13 (@sillyworldI3) May 22, 2023
Yes, five teenagers, with their phones ready to capture everything, harass a pregnant woman for laughs….so admirable. This idea that a woman shouldn't feel threatened with five teenagers harassing, laughing, recording is ridiculous.

Well, taking the bike from a pregnant woman that had rented it out first, then posting their lie online wasn't all that admirable, bonehead.

@CommunityNotes can we get a fact check on this race baiting lying sack of shit?
— ClownWorld (@Clown_World2022) May 24, 2023
This editor hates to say it, but there are plenty of people in Touré’s replies who believe there was only one thug in that video, and she weaponized her tears to get them killed.
The barrage of hateful comments; from Jordan Neely and now the citibike kids. I'm telling you. These people hate us! These people want us dead!

Not a parody account.
