Nowadays when you encounter a racist incident, the best thing you can do is to record and post on social media?

So you see how verbal action can de-escalate a situation? I didn't even need to record and post it..... wait... DOES THIS COUNT??????

Difference is that the videos that this thread is referencing are typically individuals that are being belligerent, violent, and dangerous. Best recent example is Amy Cooper who was in the process of attempting to use the local NYPD as her personal hit squad because a black guy had the audacity to tell her that her dog needed to be leashed.

Christian was being cool as hell and she was still attempting to escalate the situation. No sympathy for her, she knew exactly what she was doing.

You’re still making excuses for racists. It’s 2020, stop doing that. It’s not some kind of medical condition that you don’t have control over, it’s always intentional. The longer you let these individuals just spout off their hate speech without facing consequences the longer they’ll be around.

The definition of "racist" is growing and growing.

you are arguing with an autism camouflaging psychopath, just so you know
Autism yes, psychopath I don’t know. I’d say he’s probably more sane than most regular resetera users because he chooses to maintain an everyday presence here even after getting regular negative feedback from almost everything he says.

if I end up in a ditch with my last moment being an image of TaySan TaySan swinging an axe onto my head, I will regret my position however

If I abandoned every platform I received negative feedback from I wouldn’t pay AT&T for internet service every month.

Tesseract, got a question for you though, what about the times when racists try and weaponise the police? When they call the police on black people and Mexicans, etc and lie to the police to get them coming guns blazing? In those situations it's just your word against theirs, who do you think the police will believe without a video?

i'd need examples but i imagine most police would do their best to determine what's what in those situations, investigate all parties

record all you want, video beats shifty eye witness testimony every time

Instead of racists you should just say white people. That’s what you mean anyway.

Sure. Posting to social media is how #metoo handled it as well. Ultimately, the idea isn't really to end anything. It's to publicly shame someone and if all goes well, to ruin them.

Recording for a clear picture and posting for the world to see are two different things.

Recording people that are pissed is the best defense with anything anyway. I have a camera on my helmet when i drive on my motorcycle, why? anybody that tries to shit on me for whatever reason knows i have the proof and they get shit by cops the next day, the same for my car etc. I don't post it on social media because that's actually illegal here and frankly i am not going to let people mob another person that's disgusting.
