Oh those negroes and White collar crime, here's yet another example from the progressive paradise of pdx:

It's hard to find an article with her photo. When I searched her name in google a video came up that showed her face but it disappeared when I went into the article. While the story did get some play in the media when it first appeared a couple years ago, her photo was not being published in any of the articles I read. That name Chantail Williams gives her race away, it sure ain't a White name.
I remember when this happened a couple years ago but forgot about it until there was a recent followup about the lenient sentence she received. 5 years probation, 30 days served and restitution:

I have a question: Why do they call it "White" collar crime anyways? Like all crime categories, blacks are responsible for a disproportionate amount of "White collar" crime but that doesn't stop people from believing that White collar crime is exclusively practiced by White people. It's a progressives comeback when you cite the highly disproportionate amount of crime practiced by the negro, they say: What about White collar crime? That's all White people!
No, not true, if you look at the FBI crime stats table 43 you notice that blacks offend at 2-3 time the rates (per capita) as Whites in White collar crime categories, just like they do in all the other crime categories. Anecdotally, there sure does seem to be a lot of negroes involved in these government corruption stories reported in the media.
Maybe we should start calling it black collar crime.
Battleground is one of the best films of WW II
MEDIA GIVES TOP OBIT BILLING TO LIAM PAYNE(WHO?)OVER MITZI GAYNOR.
GRA:Payne,of One Direction(barely heard of them)it's surmised,jumped to his death,after a drug binge(he said he had a "drug problem"). Payne's death was the lead headline on abc noise.
Meanwhile,a star of substance for decades--Mitzi Gaynor--is relegated to a quickie wrapup at the end.
(broadway.com)Mitzi Gaynor, a star from the golden age of Hollywood musicals known for roles in There’s No Business Like Show Business and South Pacific, has died. Her death, from natural causes, was confirmed by her team in a statement. She was 93.
“As we celebrate her legacy, we offer our thanks to her friends and fans and the countless audiences she entertained throughout her long life,” her management team said in a statement shared on X.
Gaynor was born Francesca Marlene de Czanyi von Gerber in Chicago in 1931. Daughter to a musician father and dancer mother, she knew she wanted to become a performer by the age of 9 after she was taken to see Carmen Miranda in the stage revue The Streets of Paris. “I was mesmerized!” she told Closer earlier this year. “I remember telling my mother, ‘I can do that. I want to do that.’ From that moment on, everything became about making ‘Tootie’—my childhood nickname—a star.” She embarked on ballet training and was performing in shows around Los Angeles by the age of 11.
Signing a contract with Twentieth Century-Fox at age 17—and changing her name at the behest of a studio executive—Gaynor made her film debut in a supporting role in the musical My Blue Heaven (1950). More musical roles followed in rapid succession: Golden Girl (1951); Bloodhounds of Broadway (1952); Down Among the Sheltering Palms (1953); There’s No Business Like Show Business (1954), featuring Ethel Merman and Marilyn Monroe; and Anything Goes (1956), co-starring Bing Crosby. She married Jack Bean, a talent agent and public relations executive for MCA who masterminded her career, in 1954. Bean died in 2006.
Gaynor’s most famous role came in 1958, playing Nellie Forbush in the musical film adaptation of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific. She was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960. The wane of the era of the Hollywood movie musical meant that she made her final notable film role just three years later in For Love or Money, co-starring Kirk Douglas.
She remained in the public eye by redirecting her energies to television variety shows such as The Frank Sinatra Show and The Ed Sullivan Show. Notably, Gaynor was the headline act on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 when The Beatles made their second live appearance on U.S. television. Later in the decade, she starred in her own standalone song-and-dance specials—Mitzi… A Tribute to the American Housewife; Mitzi & 100 Guys; Mitzi… What's Hot, What's Not and more—outfitted by star costumier Bob Mackie.
“My legs looked better in a [sic] very high heels," Gaynor told EW in 2021.
Later in her career, Gaynor performed in nightclubs around the U.S.—making her Manhattan nightclub debut in 2010, age 78, in her show Razzle Dazzle! My Life Behind the Sequins—and served as a featured columnist for the Hollywood Reporter.
GRA:They choose a nobody over a true talent--that's our media.
