[RedState] Parents at a Michigan school board meeting confronted a school board member for making incendiary — and racist — comments about white people in a series of tweets in December. Many demanded her resignation, but the school board member took the opportunity to double down on her remarks.

In December, Kesha Hamilton, a member of the Jackson school board, tweeted:

Whiteness is so evil. it manipulates then says, I won’t apologize for my dishonesty and trauma-inducing practices and thinks you should applaud it for being honest about its ability to manipulate and be dishonest.

In another tweet, in response to a user who tweeted about being a black man hiking in the woods, she wrote: "The last thing you have to worry about is an animal — though that could be a very real threat.. more dangerous are any whites you may see on the trail.. be safe!"

During the meeting, parents called Hamilton out for her racist tweets. One asked how all kids can "feel safe when physical characteristics over which they have no control are being called evil and dangerous."

Another noted that Hamilton was "not addressing the disparities," but "adding to them by your hurtful remarks."

Hamilton responded by justifying her comments and playing the victim. "What I understand from being a woman in this American nation, and a Black woman specifically, is that sometimes others would rather I not exercise any of my rights as outlined in the Constitution. I do not apologize for exercising any of my rights," she said.
