Just because the Black Lives Matter movement hasn’t said or written anything racially incendiary of late, it doesn’t mean that members of the U.S. Congress have to follow the group’s lead.

This past Monday, Rep. Kathy Castor (D-FL), who is a white woman, stood at the Hall of History in Tampa’s Robert W. Saunders Public and expressed concern that America was turning into a racist nation when she sounded the alarm warning of the “new wave of racism in this country.

Castor was referring to the racial epithets that have been used against President Obama, as well as the perceived racist remarks Donald Trump is accused of using while campaigning for president.

“Something is going on that is making it acceptable to lash out at your neighbors who are different than you are, whether it’s how they look or their religion or where they come from.”

Castor went on to say this:

There is a “rise of the alt-right movement—which is really a term of white supremacy…And we’ve all got to work together to battle back and say, ‘That’s not okay. It’s not acceptable to condemn your neighbor because they’re different than you.’”

Another Floridan, Officer Jay Stalien posted a anti-black-on-black crime screed on his Facebook wall in July of this year. Here is and excerpt of Stalien’s message:

“I used to be so torn inside growing up. Here I am, a young African-American born and raised in Brooklyn, NY wanting to be a cop. I watched and lived through the crime that took place in the hood…My own black people killing others over nothing. It never sat right with me. I wanted to help my community and stop watching the blood of African Americans spilled on the street at the hands of a fellow black man. I became a cop because black lives in my community, along with ALL lives, mattered to me, and wanted to help stop the bloodshed.”
