Ok, now to watch.
Edit: Did not disappoint. Props to that white lady for at least understanding that homeboy was technically in the right, because I started getting scared for bruh.

Like, someone is just gonna come in off the street, and assume he's in the wrong. Loss prevention gets serious in them lil rinky-dink towns.

Like, her brain told her one thing (that chick got caught stealing) but her feelings told her another ("aye, you get you cotton-picking hands off of... oh, wait, I mean watch your mouth")
26. "*white* women. Did anyone call that Asian guy misogynistic..." In response to Reply # 24
who beat up the Black woman the other day? I'm not asking rhetorically, because I really don't know. I just think the response to this situation is more about him being a Black man and her being a white woman. People rush to the white woman's defense no matter what in a white supremacist society, because it's how everyone is trained.

in light of the recent rollback by Emmit Till's accuser....

32. "In the inverse situation" In response to Reply # 27 Wed Mar-22-17 12:06 PM by denny
the bystanders would be black too. And they would also probably feel uneasy or conflicted about a white man physically confronting a black woman. It's a lot more about gender than race.
36. "It's about both." In response to Reply # 34 Wed Mar-22-17 02:05 PM by denny
But I'd argue inversing the race of the participants (including the witnesses) is going to produce just about the same results. Inversing the genders would produce completely different results. Which is why I think it's more about gender than race.

If you mean anything other than that (and you do), you are incorrect.
This incident doesn't exist in a vacuum. It exists in a society and culture of "The Birth of a Naton (the 1915 version)", the bombing of Black Wall Street, Emmitt Till (and countless lynchings in the same vein), the myth of the Black rapist that white feminists used to get funding for crisis centers... the same one presidents have used to get elected... the same one our sitting president used to take out an ad calling for the execution of innocent 14 yr old Black male children.
>But I'd argue inversing the race of the participants >(including the witnesses) is going to produce just about the >same results.
Correction: You are arguing that race is only a minor factor in a white supremacist system, which is to say that, as a white person, you are practicing racism (white supremacy), as that is one of the main ways it is practiced. You are either ignorant of the facts presented above or you don't care about them. Either way, your contribution to this discussion is one that only serves to further harm Black people, and I strongly suspect that this is what you aim to do whether consciously or unconsciously, as you seem pretty dedicated to this insistence that we not focus on race in a system that has harmed us (and continues to harm us) based on racial classification... not just minor harm either but some of the most brutal harm in human history.

Whatever you think is driving the situation is not necessarily what he thinks is. And the way he acts is probably testament to that.
How do you think he'd act differently if she was black? Or if he was white? I'd argue probably just about the same. And that stupid bystander would probably also say 'be a gentleman' if he was white too.

Dat shit was clearly about race. You're not of an ethno-cultural group that is adversely-impacted by race so you haven't the slightest sensibility to even be able to perceive the racial dynamics at play.

33. "Is it legal for a store clerk to confiscate property or detain someone?" In response to Reply # 0
Just wondering. The dude said she stole something, but what if she didn't? Would she have been within her rights to nut-punch him, give him a few rib kicks and then run out the store if she didn't steal anything?
35. "it's called shopkeeper's privilege" In response to Reply # 33
you just better have the evidence to back up that someone stole from you, which I'm sure they do via video, witnesses, her being in possession of said merchandise.
42. "What's the worst that can be done" In response to Reply # 35
if nothing was stolen and the store detains you anyway. This happened to me years ago and I didn't want to argue the point too hard because I was on lunch break at the time and I didn't want to raise too much of a stink.
Or is that too hard of a question to answer because it varies by state?
