Support NeoGAF

[Eric the Red]

How about we stop focusing on the fact that they have different skin colour. That in itself is the core of racism.

People are people, we're all the same. She was a raving loon and he was cocky and egging someone on. Black, white, it doesn't matter. It was two people who could have made better decisions.

Unfortunate situation all around.

Yeah it's totally like a coin; always two sides. One side we have our racist cunt going out of her way to make other people miserable. The other side we have our man who should have assumed she was just having a bad day and meekly drove away. Instead he had the nerve to remain calm and record the events for his protection in case she does call the cops and lie about what's going on.

Unfortunate situation all around.

edit - see like this

I am saying his options were rather limited. Responding to exacerbate the situation brings a pissed off, racist cop into the mix. He should have just left.

This man gets it. If you're the black man, it's on you to leave and just accept that people will publicly berate you when they feel like it. If you're the white women, you get to say whatever you want whenever you want and even have your own defense force on GAF. Don't rock the boat.

 

[Zaph]

I don't think the guy was egging her on. She said the police were on their way and he had to stay there. He kept filming for his own protection.

This is what people don't get. Nobody is going to volunteer as a witness for a black man. That dude has to rely on himself to cover his own back because if the cops get involved you better believe that women will switch to her innocent victim personality.

Reminds me of this Patrice O'Neal sketch about collecting gas station receipts to prove his whereabouts after seeing a white woman alone on the street. Dude's only half joking. http://youtu.be/RrBPmoIAyts

Black people have been arrested for holding a puppy.

Spoiler

lol..you on point, Bold One.

As a black guy, I'm getting tired of reading recommendations that black people should be afraid of the police as if they are some kind of roaming death squad.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Welcome to the current state of this country. Sensitivity runs high these days. The lady was clearly upset and I am not going to judge her without knowing what set this all off.

I am not entirely sure we watched the same video...wtf

 

[Mammoth Jones]

I don't believe it. Says it happened in NY ... that can't be. All the racists are in the south, right GAF?

kidding aside, don't go to Dollar General if you're not prepared to encounter white trash.


.

Upstate New York *is* the South, LMAO. First thing my brother warned me about when I went to school up there was stay in the city. Don't go out in the rural areas. Gets real country real fast.

But all that aside I absolutely adore upstate NY. Very quiet and very peaceful. Well, when random people aren't yelling "Nigger!" at you.....

There's a difference between saying "Be afraid!!! OOoooOOOoooo!!" and "Be cognizant of reality".

It's not that they are automatically bad, it's that you shouldn't take the chance. That really goes for many, many situations, white, asian, whatever. Evidence is necessary in situations where you could even be remotely liable/at fault.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

Not on the same level, but that is a pretty fucked up thing to say.

What? I fucking would. You wouldn't?

Dude...can we fucking get real with this? I LIVE here...parts of Cheektowaga are white trashy, but it's not rural. You'd probably see more blatant racism in towns like Alden or in the Southern Tier.

I just hate to see people paint Buffalo and its suburbs like we're fucking plantation owners.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

So hateful...

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

What? I fucking would. You wouldn't?

I would too, as would a solid majority of Americans I would like to think.

Who said be afraid? Be aware and make sure your shit is on point. Cause you are usually at an disadvantage. And not even on some "fuck the police" stuff.

 

[Zaph]

Afraid? Maybe not.

Treated with extreme caution and best avoided? Most defiantly. Too much evidence to ignore.

I loved the time I spent in Buffalo. But then again I love the cold weather, lol.

I'll concede to your point though. I apologize.

And in this case, he has all the evidence. I don't like the idea of teaching minorities to fear the cops. It's just absurd to tell them to not try and use a vital civil service.

Afraid? Maybe not.

Because the minority of times when bad things actually happen with cops and minorities it gets heavily reported? Can you spitball a percentage you believe minorities actually get screwed over by the cops? Not looking for a thing scientific, just how you feel.

 

[TheSpoiler]

What? I fucking would. You wouldn't?

Some people wouldn't, as odd as that sounds.

And hell, imagine this - someone comes by while this lady is screaming at this black man at his car, who is taping her. She has kids, she's on the phone hysterically trying to contact her husband. None of that looks good to a passerby who didn't get in on the whole situation.

There's the off chance that they don't get the whole story, and bam, they call the cops on him, not the crazy racist lady.

And in this case, he has all the evidence. I don't like the idea of teaching minorities to fear the cops. It's just absurd to tell them to not try and use a vital civil service.

I've only had a couple of instances with some racially profiling cops, and while my experiences as a whole have been more good than bad, if anyone is going to use them as a service, just have your shit together and some evidence on hand.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Try to wrap your head around this:

As a young Black male, I've seen shit like this happen many times with family, friends, and myself. And 9 times out of 10, none of us would respond as calmly as this dude here was. My question to you is, why the fuck don't WE ever get the benefit of the doubt and people like this woman do?

You wanna know what I hear whenever some Black kid gets shot for doing human things while Black? "He/She must've did something to deserve it." You wanna know what people tell me when I get upset when White people refer to me as a thug? "Well, maybe you should change the way you dress." Point is, people hold US responsible for not only the way other people perceive us, but also the actions people take against us, violent or otherwise.

Yet... this disgusting woman, acting a fool at a supermarket, praising herself stripping for cops, calling this man a nigger, threatening him in different ways... I'm supposed to be concerned for her safety? I'm supposed to be considerate about how SHE feels when she's clearly not giving a fuck about how HE feels about her comments and perception of him?

Shit, I guarantee you that if this woman were anything other than White, the sentiment would be "She deserves whatever's coming to her."

My ability to give a fuck died the moment she started threatening him...

Word.

Hopefully she gets tried as a black adult

If you're ever up again hit me up, can go out for drinks. =)

Also, just defriended someone on Facebook for posting this in response to the video I posted.

I wonder if that's how he spends his days ... going around pissing people off in an attempt to validate his victimization. He's just as sick as she is.

 

[Backfoggen]

Hope she starts shaking like that again when she finds out about the video.

 

[Gamerloid]

This women seriously egged herself on the whole time. There would have been nothing to upload to YouTube if she wouldn't have went psycho. She only made it worth uploading with all the crap she was saying. It was just pure blatant racism.

Also, just defriended someone on Facebook for posting this in response to the video I posted.

I hope no one "liked" that post.

 

[Spat_triate]

What a disgusting display made worse by the unfortunate witnesses. It's depressing to see kids learn this filth directly from those responsible for introducing them to society.

It's also disappointing to see some here jump to her defense, asking why he filmed the incident, and suggesting that he must have done something sinister before hitting record.

 

[jWILL253]

This man gets it. If you're the black man, it's on you to leave and just accept that people will publicly berate you when they feel like it. Don't rock the boat.

Fuckouttahere...

 

[Risible]

Welp, those kids are doomed.

As for the North versus South thing it may surprise Southerners to learn we have assholes by the boatload up here too. Upstate NY may as well be 1960s Alabama. ESPECIALLY in a dollar store parking lot.

No, not yet....will defriend them as well if they do.

I'm kind of glad he said that, he's always been controversial on my FB feed and was never really a friend, just an ex-coworker. This may serve as a good FB culling.

The north east is racist. Everyone in the sports threads will tell you this!

Especially Boston...hatin' on dem Subbans.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Fuckouttahere...

I don't see why he should. I mean, the black dude should have just left, let that woman call him racial slurs infront of a store, and not film the incident so that when she does call the cops on him, he has no backing.

What, you think publicly displaying the true side of this person is going to somehow bring notice to present day racism? Gimme a break.

/s

 

[Psychotext]

At some point in the video, when they were exchanging words about calling the cops, did I hear her say something to effect of, "go ahead and call the cops. Guess how many cops I've stripped for?" While she's on the phone with her husband?

Yup. Taking it to the next level of classy.

 

[Featheredkitten]

God that woman is insane. I'd like to believe she's an isolated racist crazy person, but i think we all know that's not true. Love, love that she called her husband, and referred to him as "my husband, the cops, my lawyer" crazy ass racist person.

I (also) feel bad for the kids, they're gonna grow up filled with hate and that's sad.

 

[SmokeCapone]

As a black guy, I'm getting tired of reading recommendations that black people should be afraid of the police as if they are some kind of roaming death squad.

Dunno where ur from, but im tired of police having their guns drawn whenever I get pulled over or someone else does for a minor traffic stop. Sure as hell doesnt happen to white people (only a certain class of them).

How many white people in this thread has ever been asked are they on parole or probation when they get pulled over?

How about playing basketball at the park and police roll up making everyone lay flat on the ground or sit on the benches talking bout they got a call dope was being sold while we were playing basketball in our gym shorts skins vs shirts type of pick up games.

Yeah, this was daily, we started going into better neighborhoods to play basketball and still take harassment by still getting pulled over with cops asking us "what are doing over here".

Yeah I feel much better and safer now, smh

 

[xenist]

Yeah, fuck your pride if you're not white. Run and hide.

What the hell?

What an insane woman. She sounds like the dude jumped out at her kids with a hockey mask and a machete. I really feel sorry for those kids. Already it seems like their indoctrinated to her views on black people.

First time I've heard about them, I don't keep up at all Now I feel bad.

Well, she did look crazy enough to throw her drink at him.

Also, I thought his voice was kinda sexy. heh.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

You would think recording someone would make them calm down and consider what they're saying, but she just decided to go all in with the crazy.

You'd be amazed. I was being followed around my own neighbourhood by private security for a nearby synagogue, which was illegal in that area. The cops had previously told me that I should report them if they leave the immediate area of the temple, so I started filming them. They lost their shit at me, started yelling and called me an anti-semite. When it escalated to shoving, I put my phone away and left.
