Mississippi woman spends a night in jail after saying her father and step-mom were racist.
A Mississippi woman who was jailed after she accused her parents of being racist on Facebook leading to them receiving ‘thousands’ of death threats has been freed from custody after 24 hours, her attorney Carlos Moore said.
In one of the messages, said to be authored by her father, he wrote that her mother was crying because Schmidt was ‘partying with n*****s. If you want us to keep helping I can’t see that s*** no more. I’m blown away n*****s.’
Schmidt responded by texting ‘Don’t call them that. It doesn’t matter of they are black or white they are all down to earth people and I’ve been friends with them ever since I’ve been in Hattiesburg. They were there for me when yal weren’t.’
The 21-year-old also replied to comments her father texted to her about the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. She told her father officer Derek Chauvin was ‘NOT doing his job. What he did was MURDER.’
She continued to write that her father was ‘f****d in the head,’ if he believed the officer was doing the right thing. Schmidt added she was ‘taking a stand with the black community’ and said she was unfazed by her parent’s threats to no longer speak to her and block her on social media.
‘Yal may be blood but they are family to me,’ Schmidt wrote of her friends on the receiving end of her father’s ire. ‘And I’m fine with getting my own insurance …
“And if you keep being ugly and spreading racist s – – t I’ll blast yal on Facebook insta etc and let the world give yal a taste of how it feels … If yal are Christians like yal claim yal will love everyone equally but yal dont yal are hypocrites.
The argument continues with her writing, ‘I know all lives matter the difference is that we as white people where (sic) NEVER oppressed.’
Her father responded, ‘And not a single person alive has been oppressed that was wayyyyyyy before all of our time u goofball.’
Schmidt said by sharing the messages she had hoped for her parents to ‘go viral’, but quickly the post was shared thousands of times and her father and stepmother quickly started receiving death threats.
The fallout started after Schmidt’s parents took her car away from her, police said.
