So I saw this post about some “Crazy Racist Lady” and decided to have a look. http://www.newsempires.net/crazy-racst-black-lady-attacks-white-man?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=Postcron.com
The film was meant to show some woman who they referred to as a “Crazy Racist Black Lady” “attacking” a white man. I immediately doubted that this is what it would be, but thought I might possibly get a film of some woman with mental health issues, who they should not have been filming, given her ill health. What I found was very different. What appeared to be a film made by someone who along with his friend seemed to be engaged in race baiting a woman to get some sort of reaction, which in my view, they did not even get. So I responded to the video as follows:-
“Crazy Racist Black Lady ” “angry hate filled racist b*tch” “Race baiters” “they discount the reality that THEY are the ones that are rac*st” “attacked by a blatantly rac*st welfare queen” Really? Well for starters, if a complete stranger was in a queue filming you for no reason whatsoever, many would have said a lot more a lot earlier on. Hate filled? Attacking? Actually no. She SAID SOMETHING to him. In reality she REACTED to behaviour which would appear to have been entirely based on racism. The article is riddled with racist assumptions and views. Race Baiters???? Really. Look in the mirror mate. It was the one that was filming that was race baiting and we do not know what expression etc was on the face of the guy. Smirking maybe? The whole thing was deliberately trying to provoke a reaction. Racist welfare queen? Did they know she was on welfare or is that simply yet another assumption about black people. There is also a gender dimension. Here are two presumably both white men targetting a woman. How does she know what their motives are once she has left the store? He was not a “boy” by the way, which presents him as younger and more vulnerable. He was a big man, with a beard. I am guessing that they would not have done this to a man. Their behaviour was potentially very intimidating on a number of fronts. I started off clicking on play thinking that if someone “attacked” a white man, at times this can be down to underlying mental health problems, frequently the result of a persons day to day experience of racism. What I saw was evidence in my view of racist assumptions fuelling an attempt to provoke a reaction, in order to try and prove a spurious point. Those who made the video were the racists. If I had been in the queue, as a white woman, I would have challenged what they were doing, intimidating a black woman in that way.
As soon as I had posted my comment, I sat and pondered on the curious way they had ‘Cleaned up’ word Rac*st. Hysterical really. So I went back for another bite of the cherry:-
“Not sure either why they write “rac*st” They substitue an asterisk for the “i” in B*tch to spare us from a swear word / insult. Many would do the same if using eg the “N” word, or indeed call it the “N” word, as it is offensive. The word racist is not a swear word. Not sure what toning down the word racist tells us about the author. A word that THEY do not want to be called maybe? If the cap fits . . . .”
Any reason to try and prove black people are racist it seems. What do you think?
