Furor Erupts Over Liberal White Woman’s Racist Sign to Protest VA Gov. Candidate Winsome Sears
“There is no place for this disgusting hatred in our Commonwealth. Anyone who doesn’t condemn this sign is complicit in approving it.”
Winsome Earle-Sears is the current Lieutenant Governor of Virginia and also the Republican candidate for governor. When Sears showed up at a school board meeting to talk about transgender issues in education, a liberal white woman was holding a vile sign that read, “Hey Winsome, if trans can’t share your bathroom, then blacks can’t share my water fountain.”
It’s positively stunning that no one thought to tell this woman to get rid of the sign. Winsome Earle-Sears is black; her family came to America from Jamaica in the 1970s.
Virginia Republican nominee for Governor @WinsomeSears is speaking out tonight at the Arlington County School Board meeting about boys being able to use the girl's bathroom.
This is a sign being held by a white liberal outside the meeting (Sears is a black woman).… pic.twitter.com/1ik4JBMbcY

People expressed disgust on Twitter/X.
My family lived and survived Jim Crow and now the Left is cosplaying it. https://t.co/5oNwhhFP3P

Vile. One of the reasons the Left is obsessed with race is their virulent racism. So much of what they say is pure projection. https://t.co/e7HWM8g1Mn

Eventually, someone pointed out to this woman that her sign was being noticed. Watch:
Here appears to be the moment she found out that her sign is getting a lot of attention https://t.co/1vs2gHGzIH pic.twitter.com/BluiXPZ9aM

Winsome responded.
I’m disgusted, but not surprised. This is the “tolerant” left Abigail Spanberger defends. I’m the sitting Lieutenant Governor, second in command in the former Capitol of the confederate states. I’m an immigrant, a Marine, and above all, a human being. There is no place for this…

Abigail Spanberger, the Democrat candidate in the race, released a tepid condemnation through her campaign.
ABC News in Virginia reported:
Brandon Jarvis, a local journalist and the man behind Virginia Scope, posted photos to X of the other side of that sign — which contained a racist statement targeting Earle-Sears, who is Black.
“Hey Winsome, if trans can’t share your bathroom, then Blacks can’t share my water fountain,” the other side reads.
As the photo Jarvis posted circulates online, Virginia leaders — including Earle-Sears, herself — are sharing their reactions.
“I’m disgusted, but not surprised,” Earle-Sears said on X. “This is the ‘tolerant’ left Abigail Spanberger defends. I’m the sitting Lieutenant Governor, second in command in the former Capitol of the confederate states. I’m an immigrant, a Marine and above all, a human being. There is no place for this disgusting hatred in our Commonwealth. Anyone who doesn’t condemn this sign is complicit in approving it.”
Spanberger, the Democratic nominee for Virginia governor and Earle-Sears’ opponent, shared the following statement with 8News:
“Abigail condemns this repulsive display. It’s racist, abhorrent and unacceptable.”
Amazingly, this video report from WUSA 9 features a clear shot of the sign, but it’s never even mentioned.
Abigail Spanberger has been leading this race in most polls, but Winsome Sears has been rapidly closing the gap just within the last week.

“Hey Winsome, if trans can’t share your bathroom, then blacks can’t share my water fountain.”
SO stunning. SO brave.
This is a perfect example of Progressive logic in action.
It’s false equivalences all the way down.
I don’t think anyone would want any water from a fountain that vile being drunk from anyway.
I’m not as outraged by the sign being racist because I don’t think it is. I think it’s just moronic and shows a complete lack of understanding of what slavery was in this country and how the left will try to tie any cause de juire they can to try and paint their opponents as bigots to advance an agenda. We saw this attempted equivalence between slavery and pro abortion, LGBT+-#?@, healthcare, welfare, illegal aliens and now trannies in girls restrooms.
It is not racist to prefer to not be around low class people, especially if the are criminals.
Yes, a false equivalence. Well, what is equivalent to a man pretending to be a woman who is not allowed to pee with women—-in the context of a segregated water fountain?
In context of a water fountain, the equivalence would be a white man pretending to be a black man and not being allowed to drink from the fountain of the slutty woman holding the sign.
There’s no racism like old racism…
I don’t think the moral equation is balanced here. Ethnicity and choice are not equal.
As if the left is actually concerned with equality.
To the descendants of the KKK, blacks need to sit in the back of the bus, shine their shoes, pick their cotton, and STAY ON THE PLANTATION.
What’s worse than a wine swilling white leftists racist? The house knee grows who support them.
As a lifelong South Carolinian, I can assure you that the typical southern white liberal views negroes as incapable of assimilating European-based culture, and treats them as such while spewing smarmy self-loathing pc BS in a piteous display of virtue-signaling that serves only one purpose…”If we speak what we think they want to hear, those savages will eat us last.”
Agreed!
I was stationed in Atlanta, Macon, and Augusta, spending nearly a decade in Georgia. Not to mention Charleston AFB, and a few assignments in Florida.
As a kid from Baltimore, we didn’t have the luxury of being racist, since that was a death sentence in Patterson Park and in Pig Town, and eventually Pumphrey. Besides, if we didn’t play with our brown skinned brothers, we wouldn’t have anyone to play with.
My biggest surprise was taking my wife and kids to Burger King in Perry Ga (south of Robins AFB), and this kind old gentleman at the next table asked me if I was interested in joining the KKK.
Must have been before 2010 or so. These days, they give you a free burger just for downloading the KKK app to your phone and signing in.
Nobody, with two spinning brain cells, would print that sign.
I suspect AI.
You are correct. She did print the sign and no she does not have two spinning brain cells.
She also represents what ran our country from 2020 to 2o24.
She also represents COVID lock downs.
Don’t get me started with her and the 1st and 2nd amendment.
She is an example of the ultimate Karen.
Somebody with one spinning brain cell gave you a thumbs down.
“It’s positively stunning that no one thought to tell this woman to get rid of the sign.”
Or, the holder is an opposition plant, there to make the demonstrators look vile.
This sort of thing does get done. You don’t want to ask me how I know.
where lefty gathers
vileness is present
Super happy to be proven wrong.
If this is true, she’s a genuine lib’ral geeeenius.
Lol. Try again. Use your brain cells to do simple internet research ,(hint: the article contains enough corroboration in a video).
It’s not even about intelligence. There are a large pile of leftists that think they are above social ethics and morals because their cause is so supremely righteous and everyone on the other side is subhuman. I guess we found the one place where they don’t care about color because they ascribe this subhuman denigration to everyone that opposes their righteous crusade.
It’s comparing one injustice in support of another. It forgets that blacks have oppression priority in injustice signage. I’m surprised that the right participates though. Say anything you want. Maybe it’s the outrage hit that’s wanted.
She thought she was making a point but her logic was faulty. Skin color is an immutable characteristic. Being trans is a fictional characteristic. The first should be ignored. The second should be treated by a psychiatrist. If you can find one with enough common sense to recognize that there’s a problem, anyway.
Woke progressive leftists believe mental illness should be a protected class?
Nope. Gender discrepancies are a “choice” when that benefits the participants; and they are “born that way” when that benefits them instead.
there are plenty psychological types will treat her at 500. per hour.
know your history
it is the left that has ALWAYS been the leaders for racism and sexism
this isnt new
capitalists who do racist things are then judged on THAT action..being racist
socialists are racist by nature using the nice sounding of we want equality to hide their resentments of life
Someone is too stupid to know why that comparison is inaccurate. If only they knew the definition of immutable.
When they ned immutable, they say “born in the wrong body.”
6% of the population commits over 50+% of violent crimes
<1% of the population is “gender confused”
but both groups are in charge of our societies lawmakers
AWFL = affluent white female leftist.
“Liberal” is to kind
Pronounced “awful,” which applies.
.
The “U” means ugly.
On the inside, the outside, or both.
Their feminazis. Ugly inside and out.
I believe Michael Malice coined the term to describe Karen’s during COVID and it has expanded.
Let’s not be like Democrats and use “racist” to mean “any speech about race I don’t like.” If everything is racist, then nothing is racist.
That ship has flown.
^^^this^^^
Don’t you mean “that pig has sailed?”
I have a repertoire of “too late” cliches from which I cross-construct these varied malaphors, just for fun. I have horses, ships, birds, trains, and bridge-water. I don’t have pigs, but if you can provide me the relevant cliche, I’ll be happy to add it.
The d/prog don’t stray far from from their racist roots. They consistently demand everything be viewed through the prism of race, creating quotas, set asides for hiring, acceptance to Univ, promotions in employment, political representation.
No way we should unilaterally disarm and refuse to use the tactics they do to advance our own agenda. Tell you what, when you get the d/prog to ‘bend over and take it’ for the next five decades then we can see about stopping the train.
Unlike the “dog whistle racism” Boogeyman of the left that they suddenly see everywhere, this is overt, specific, and historically ascribed racism seen in the pre civil rights movement era. You have some screws loose if you think this isn’t racism.
btw…how long until blmplo says
we wont allow whites/jews to eat in our restaurants or drink at our “water fountains”?!
Is it possible The teacher shortage is due to the fact that there are significant numbers of human beings don’t like being forced to deny mother nature? For Christians and others, God‘s creation. It doesn’t matter if you’re Christian or not the question is basic biology. I know a former teacher very well. Taught in Fairfax County County a long time ago. This stupidity would’ve driven her out of the schools.
The Alinsky left is fond of cherry picking fools on the right. I suppose turnabout is fair play. And none of the other protesters thought the sign was a possibly bad idea.
With the trans issue, black voters’ struggles are always used to carry the weight of any movement of the moment that Democrats are pushing.
propagated by blacks
blm is run by les bian communistnazi loving thuggs
no surprise
Duh – Winsome isn’t black in Arlington Alexandria Fairfax Loudon Prince William.
You’re going forward now, Bob.
In a flash of magnanimity, Winsome Sears said the woman was welcome to drink from her toilet bowl.
Why use term “your bathroom” if they meant “public restroom”?
What do “drinking fountains” have to do with the issue?
are you serious? It’s an analogy for when back in the day, blacks couldn’t use water fountains that whites used
are you serious? not all plumbing is analogous.
History has shown that it has always been Democrats who display the worst in human nature. The lynchings and cross burnings in the old South were all Democrats and the people who traffic in hate are the new Democrats. It isn’t principles with them, it’s power and whatever it takes to obtain that power they will use.
The Democratic Party will not deny their history, but what they will do is invoke the southern strategy, where they believe that the parties magically realigned. Therefore, the KKK past is actually our past. We are the inheritors, not them.
They will fight you to the death to put this narrative forward.
The don’t fight you they just assert it and ignore evidence to the contrary.
They know they are the good guys so they must have always been on the good side ipso facto.
It’s what I insist on referring to as “Halftime in America.”
The Democratic Party – Telling darker-skinned people what is best for them since 1828.
Self-awareness has been scissored out of the liberal genome.
Sorry, outrage fans, this is just disingenuous gotcha stuff.
The stupid AWFL clearly though she was pointing out that preventing the so-called “trans” from accessing their pretend gender’s restrooms is equivalent to Jim Crow laws.
Inartfully done, but clearly she wasn’t calling for a return to that particular form of racism.
I really dislike using the very worst of the left’s habits to play the same rhetorical games. The progressives ARE bone-deep racists, but this isn’t an actual example of that.
If/Then is a conditional premise. If the former is true, then what follows must also be true.
Theses are her words, not mine..
I say throw it back in their face twice as hard. No mercy. They have none for us, and I’m sick of all this crap.
Besides, isn’t that why the majority of us voted for Donald Trump? Because he’s a warrior and we’re fed up with this nonsense?
When the d/prog publicly apologize to every person they’ve falsely smeared with lies about ‘ists and isms’, confess and atone to our satisfaction then we can discuss a cease-fire. Until then, they shouldn’t have started this if they didn’t want to finish it. They chose to use racially charged language to create a particular image and they gotta be held accountable in the the only way they understand, the infliction of pain by those with the power to use it.
TIT.
Meet TAT.
I see “trans” people have mental problems and no person that is a minor should be allowed to be “trans” at all. If they want to be “trans” once they are adult age then when they use the restroom they should use their original birth one.
As if we needed confirmation that democrats haven’t changed since Andrew Jackson.
Can’t wait to vote for Winsome in November.
Meanwhile, she could use a few more donations.
It’s so typical of the brazen and appalling stupidity of Dhimmi-crats, that they would equate one’s refusal to accommodate and kowtow to the obnoxious demands/diktats of mostly male, mostly homosexual, tranny misogynists and narcissists, with refusing services to blacks during the Segregation era.
There is no factual or moral equivalence between the two behaviors, and any intelligent person (i.e., not a Dhimmi-crat/leftist) could see that.
Irony isn’t Jim Crows strong suit.
