Fuck you and your talk about “extrajudicial violence”. From 1890 to 1920, over 3,400 African-Americans were lynched by mobs of white people. These innocent people were not just publicly hanged but were also shot repeatedly, burned alive or dragged behind cars. Lynchings continued on a regular basis in the south until…
Yeah, fuck all that. They should have thought about that before they weaponized the word, and they damn sure better think twice before they use it. I wish this would happen every day.
And I say: “don’t start none, won’t be none”.
How do you know that one or two of the passengers assaulted the elder white lady? What if seeing the elder white lady having a hard time exiting the bus, a group of civic minded American black citizens decided to do the right thing and help her down the busses steps. In their eagerness to be of service to the elderly…
If that white lady was my mom, I’d say she was stupid and then hunt down the bitch who touched her and knock HER out.
I slapped my friend across the face for saying it about my BF when we were 10 years old, to both of our surprise. Guess what? He didn’t let me hear him say it again at least. Maybe he dropped it from his vocab entirely.
Yeah, it’s a bit respectability politics. POC have been the patient ones, turned the other cheek, risen above it, etc. for literally hundreds of years.
“What kind of vindictive society do we have now?“
The same damn one we had back when we were getting killed after being called that word.
And one now where black people will no longer be silent or still when yet another white person calls us a n*gger. In the past they (you?) got away with it time after time while…
Dopping N bombs is no fucking “mistake”. A mistake is saying “shit’ in front of a toddler when you stub your toe. Moral grandstanding is great and all but is this the hill you want to die on?
“On the whole, those don’t seem to go black peoples’ way as often as they go against them.”
You don’t make a mistake and call a bus full of people n*gg*rs. She said exactly what she intended to say and received the natural consequences. My people have been killed without even saying a word. So, it’s clear that this woman was extremely lucky that day.
You ever notice that the two wrongs don't make a right people always talk about stopping a cycle without addressing the lack of justice for POC in the first place?
You’re dumb as hell if you think “n$&&er” counts as simply saying “a goddamned word,” dude. I love watching white dudes tell everyone else what their feelings should be. Do y’all EVER stfu?
Fear of a severe beating for showing your ass is a valuable lesson for anyone. I myself would not have bothered, but I feel nothing over the savage ending to that video. She may remember nothing else from her life after recovering, but best believe she’ll never forget the last time she uttered “nigger”.
Tell wypipo to stop the verbal abuse and senseless 911 calls on black people.
If that white lady was your mom and you didn’t shut her ass up when she got into the argument, or worse condoned that shit by not stopping her, you would have been laid out right beside her. I don’t know if y’all think the cracker president has given you all invisible force fields because he can say shit and have no…
Saying a GODDAMNED *WORD* doesn’t give you ANY fucking right to touch and hurt someone physically.
Counterpoint. If you’re going to aggressively push buttons, instigate and transgress well beyond the bounds of polite society, don’t expect to be treated like polite society.
Yeah, it’s sort of like the “just obey the law,” arguments that people make before cops kill a PoC. We all know nobody makes those arguments, right? /s
