YAEWBT - Yet another existing while black thread. Modified to all purpose harassment

[esquared]

The question I have to ask is if these incidents are not solely because the people are black, but rather because the people calling are just, well, idiots.

In the case of the girl selling water, the caller was upset that she was yelling a lot and she couldn’t get work done. Is it not reasonable to think that she threatened to call because of that as opposed to the girl being black?

And in this last one with the kid mowing grass... It seems like this is a just a neighbor with something stuck up her... The kid mowed some of her lawn by accident and the neighbor is one of those people that call the police for anything, no matter how minor.

I’m just curious why these cases are just automatically considered to be racially biased when the only aspect of it being racial is that the caller is white and the person dealing with the repercussions is black. Does that automatically mean that it is a racially biased incident.

No, it not reasonable at all.

"And in this last one with the kid mowing grass... It seems like this is a just a neighbor with something stuck up her... The kid mowed some of her lawn by accident and the neighbor is one of those people that call the police for anything, no matter how minor."

That something stuck up her....(what.... ass, behind, etc?)
is racism.

These have all been white people that are calling out black folks/children.

There's always an excuse. "They were too loud." "I didn't know they were allowed to be there." "They just didn't look right." "They had an attitude." "They were talking in a different language and I knew that it was about me." blah,blah,blah...

Sorry, I wasn’t saying that what she did was reasonable. I was saying that is it not reasonable to think that if someone was yelling outside your window for hours when you are trying to work that they might be upset about that?

What I’m asking is why is it defaultly racism? I’ve dealt with plenty of neighbors that have the “stay off my lawn” syndrome and would call the police for any little thing.

And yes, all these incidents being pointed out are white people calling on black people, because if it was a white person calling on a white person or black person calling on a black person, it wouldn’t be going viral like the above videos.

Call it for what it is. Don't fucking make excuses for all this bad behavior of white people.

I don’t doubt that there plenty of people out there that are racist pieces of crap. All I’m wondering is why these incidents are automatically considered to be racial.

As far as that little girl selling the water bottles. The lady that said she called the police, (she didn't) said the girl was selling water for 2 hours.
Well, she lied about calling the police so I will assume she also lied about the amount of time she claimed was "loudly", selling water.
https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/loc...ter-Bottles-Permit-Controversy-486405261.html
From the little girl's mother "Ausin said she was convinced the question was racially motivated, which is why she started recording Ettel's alleged call to police.
"We've been out before with my nieces who are full white and she didn’t come out here and they were being way louder than Jordan was by herself," Austin said."

How many times do you have to see this bad behavior by white people calling out African Americans before you call it for what it is.
100x, 1000x, 10000x?


"And yes, all these incidents being pointed out are white people calling on black people, because if it was a white person calling on a white person or black person calling on a black person, it wouldn’t be going viral like the above videos."
No shit, because those wouldn't be examples of racism/racist actions.

I hadn’t read about the claim about the white nieces before. As for her claiming to call the police when she hadn’t, I just took that as her bluffing to get them to stop.

You question about how many times do we need to see this behavior before we call it for what it is... I’d say that each incident has to be viewed individually to determine if it is racism or not. I don’t think you can group 10 incidents together and just say they’re all racist.

And that’s why I raised my initial question... In some of the incidents that are raised as being racist, the only correlation is a white person calling on a black person. Is that enough to make the incident due to racism?

So, if you want to try to make excuses for all of these accumulating racist incidents, because it sounds like you are,
then come right out and own it..

The answer is a firm yes.

You took my quote out of context. I was far from saying that the only correlation between ALL of these events was a white person calling on a black person.

My question was if an incident involves a white person calling on a black person does that automatically make it a racial incident? In the lawn mowing case, the homeowner admitted that the kid mowed some of the neighbors lawn. It also seems like there might be some animosity between the two from the past. Could it be as simple as that for the neighbor to have called on the kid?

Let's assume the black woman wasn't a student police would not have even gone back to the white student to verify her status.

fail. ok lets assume some real world investigation procedures not your fantasyland bullshit. The cops would take her name for the compliant and pretty sure they got her name when she called the cops and pretty sure they checked that name on the db as well.

good grief the conspiracy theorist on this board is like listening to a "somewhere in time" Art Bell broadcast.

12 Year Old Black Kid Mows Grass, Get Called Into Cops By White Neighbor:

Saw this earlier and felt this was bad enough to be included in the just trying to exist while black in America thread...

Stupid racist neighbor.

The cop could have easily made this incident better for the kids if he would have explained to them that the neighbor should not have called the police about this issue, shook their hands, told them to keep up the good work, work hard and then given them his police business card and told them to call him if they needed his help in the future.

This one on the MLB level.

Really, called an African American a monkey. WTF? Hasn't anyone learned from that Howard Cosell incident 35years ago?
Stupid effing racists.

"Tigers pitching coach fired for directing racial slur at clubhouse attendant

"Chris Bosio, who had been the Tigers pitching coach for just the 2018 season, was fired on Wednesday for what general manager Al Avila described as using “racially insensitive language.” Four team sources spoke with Rosenthal and Strang on the condition of anonymity, and all four delivered the same version of the story: Bosio called an African-American clubhouse attendant a “monkey” during a postgame complaint session about a pitcher.

https://sports.yahoo.com/report-tig...acial-slur-clubhouse-attendant-182401615.html

Of course Bosio denied he wasn't talking about the attendant and tried to slough it off on one of the pitchers. Bosio said he (the pitcher) looked like a spider monkey when warming up.
That particular pitcher wouldn't back up Bosio's story.
"Additionally, Daniel Stumpf told the Detroit Free Press that he had never been called “spider monkey” to his knowledge, and wasn’t familiar with the nickname in general."

Does the US have a law about wasting police time? Seems to me like the lawnmower incident was a solid candidate for it.

Kind of does, however one has to call the Police a completely ludicrous amount of times before it applies.

Filing a false report, lying to police, but if the person honestly believed there was a crime being committed then it would be impossible to prove lying.

"Popular black culture" eh?

A list of random Hollywood movies: Saw (parts 1 thru 1000), Goodfellas, The Godfather, Pulp Fiction, Heat, Scarface, Seven, Zodiac, Reservoir Dogs, 9 billion Westerns since Hollywood started up, 9 billion war movies since Hollywood started up, No Country for Old Men.

You're not dumb. Stop acting like you are.

The products of an establishment controlled by white liberals promoting and at the same time enjoying vicariously their perverted, pedophilia, violent, misogynistic, racist fantasies/beliefs in their movies and television shows to millions and today billions of people while hiding behind the first amendment,

all while pointing the finger at the confederate flag/statues/southerners as the root of all evil.

It might even be true for most cases, but it will not be true for all.

Not everyone who calls the cops is Donald J. Trump.

I'm glad it went about as smoothly as you could hope given how badly it started, but at the same time, this illustrates the point of the thread, really. Racism is still pervasive, it just tends to hide more often than it did in the past. Some of it is more overt, like people who cheer on passive-aggressive racist policies (like voter ID laws or stop-and-frisk), but it's also things like this: it's calling the cops because you saw a black person in a mostly white neighborhood. It's store staff following a black person around 'just in case.' It's clutching your bag tightly when you see a black person coming the other way.

Basically, it's the difference between saying you're comfortable around people of other ethnic backgrounds and actually being comfortable. Many white people will be quick to say they're not racist, but they don't stop to think about racist impulses.

First African American Valedictorian in school's history was not allowed to give a speech.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/princi...to-give-speech-so-rochester-mayor-intervenes/

"Lovett said he was never asked to give a graduation speech, though past valedictorians had gotten to, according to the newspaper.
When he asked to speak anyway, he said the principal, Joseph Munno, said no."
""He didn't want to see the speech or what it said, nothing," Lovett told the Democrat and Chronicle. "He just said no." The paper said Munno declined to comment."
