She’s trying to be reasonable and respectable. That mindset will doom everyone, because being reasonable, respectable, and being “good” serve only the oppressor. It is depressing how many people still have the need to be that as internalized self-hate.

You cant train a white person to not be racist for a 40 hour turnaround. That leads me to a question that should be Yesha’s next article.. “How many hours of diversity training does it take to completely change white people?”

Nice to see a D. Adams fan on here. Yes, that is exactly what I was referring to. Officers that are so emotional that they HATE BLACK PEOPLE when a car gets broke into? How will they react to a little tougher of a situation??

He let his “emotions” get the best of him. Riiiiiiight! And exactly what would his “emotions” have told him to do if he would have walked up on as he has already assumed to be ”dirty niggers in my car”. We all know the answer to that.

Who would ever trust this officer before.

More than likely in an article about his acquittal for discharging his firearm repeatedly into someone just a shade dark enough to be fearsome enough for a jury and the media to decide that they warranted it.

Who could trust this police office now?

Stay tuned, we will see this officers name again.

Funny you should say that. I’m 34 and my grandparents just took me to a casino for the first time last year. On the way home, my grandma asked me what I thought of it.

Chuck E Cheese’s is a casino for kids. Same aesthetic (no windows, can’t tell what time it is, flashing lights, etc).

Also, I lived in a mostly white and Latino blue collar-ish suburb, but my elementary school also had kids from a new, wealthy, development. None of the rich kids had Chuck E. Cheese parties. I guess it was the more blue collar class kids but whose dads were like the foreman or the general contractor and so they…

I guess one would need a bit of liquid fortification when surrounded by dozens of screaming, runny-nosed, little monsters.

Wait a minute, Chuck E. Cheese serves beer?!?

Pre-cellphone camera days, its where white people got in fights. Couple pitchers of beer (yes I was shocked when I found that out) and a crying, unsupervised kid. Next thing you know cops come rolling in. Think its a whole generation of scarred white kids that are getting in their child bearing years.

I also took my…

Should’ve used plastic.

You can’t be serious with this. Do you really think that all that woman did was touch someone’s dog uninvited? That there are three officers present for just that? You are seeing what you believe as opposed to believing what you see. And still, we don’t know the entire scene. There is a voice off camera in the video…

Remember that all black people have to do to avoid being body-slammed, choked, and shot/killed by police is not do... absolutely everything this white girl was doing.

Since it’s not my article, the only clicks I’m getting are from you (which is why I wish I could disable notifications, because I have actual work to do). I also don’t have a yard, since I live in a downtown area on a high floor with a view.

That said, if I did, and you dared call yourself my empathetic neighbor, or…

What are you on about? She literally said she “...can understand her disillusionment at being arrested for petting a dog that wasn’t hers.” Like, yes it’s silly, but it makes for a near perfect control test on how white people are treated by police.
