(Headline USA) A school board member in Jackson County, Michigan, claimed white people are more dangerous than animals and called white women “stupid” in resurfaced tweets shared by Libs of TikTok.
Just last month, Kesha Hamilton claimed “whiteness is so evil.”
“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. #Deceitful #Perfidous,” she wrote.
In another tweet, she claimed hikers should fear white people more than animals.
“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!” Hamilton tweeted in December.
In 2020, Hamilton replied to a tweet, saying, “These white women are THE stupidest!”

Parents addressed Hamilton’s offensive tweets during a school board meeting on Tuesday, slamming her as a “racist.”
“Someone in her influential position must be held to a high standard. She must be a representative for all students in the JPS system,” Gina Hastings, a parent, said. “Her racist comments should not be condoned. How can all kids feel safe when physical characteristics over which they have no control are being called evil and dangerous.”
Another speaker, Jackie Leslie, said that Hamilton was “not addressing the disparities, you are adding to them by your hurtful remarks. Your words are not unifying our community. Your words are dividing our community.”
Hamilton insisted that she was not referring to white people, but to “whiteness” as a social construct.
“Whiteness defined is ‘white racialized identity (which) refers to the way that white people, their customs, culture and beliefs operate as the standard by which all other groups are compared,” she claimed.
