TakeYouToTasker Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 When a society ascribes moral value to victimhood, and grants it social currency, don't be surprised when people begin to manufacture it. 4
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 It's all a hustle. When you see the actual numbers of black people killed by cops its MINISCULE statistically. 1
IDBillzFan Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 We've been saying this since the primaries pitting Obama against Hillary: if everything is racism, then nothing is racism. This woman sets back any genuine attempts to identify and correct racist behavior in other parts of the country. She did more harm to her cause than good. I hope she takes the time to correct herself.

This lady dusgusts me!! Typical liberal actions. They have seriously lost touch with reality. SMH......

Taro T Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) It's sad. This woman EXPECTED that the police officer wanted to mess with her & because of that, she heard not what the officer said but what she expected him to say and do. To me, that is a microcosm of the most unfortunate part of 44's legacy. Rather than celebrate how much better race relations have gotten within his lifetime - a black man certainly was not going to be elected President when he was born but we've moved so far that he WAS elected President - while still acknowledging that there is still room for improvement; his supporters have focused on what remains to be done while minimizing what has been accomplished to such an extent that this woman misinterpreted the situation so completely that she expected to get lynched. Really was hoping that after 2008 we'd've been able to enter a "post racial" era. Not even close. Which is truly a shame because we had a great opportunity. People do not get lynched for simply going 15 mph over the speed limit if they respond to the situation by being calm and respectful of the police officer that pulled them over. That they expect to get lynched is a travesty. Fortunately, she did remain rather calm & respectful on the outside, and no situation arose while the 2 were in contact. Watching the body cam version it appears she handled her encounter better than EII describes his contacts w/ the police. Would be cool if that could get a wider distribution and show people that even though you might be nervous, you really can get through an encounter w/ the police without getting shot. (Not a chance of that being the lesson learned from this. ) Edited May 14, 2018 by Taro T

Azalin Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 For victim-worship to work, one needs to actually be a victim. Hopefully that body cam footage will circulate enough to damage her credibility within the victim community.
keepthefaith Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 When you view interactions with people of another race through the racism-only lens, this is what you get.
unbillievable Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 I still don't understand how cops are able to tell the race and gender (or tansgender) of the person driving 70+ mph to know who to pull over.

In my lifetime, no one has done more harm to black America than Barack Obama. Handed the opportunity to go down as one of the greatest in the history of the US, he chose instead to go down as the greatest in the history of his own mind. He somehow made race relations horrible, while making the lives of black Americans, especially teens, worse than ever. But hey...that interview with the chick who bathes in Fruit Loops was pretty awesome, amirite?
Chef Jim Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 Couple of takeaways for me. 1. Love the music the cop was listening to in the car 2. Dude's a closer. "I knew you were gonna sign it" 2
