Another tale of a nosy ass white woman who refuses to mind her motherfucking business calling the cops for trifling ass reasons and endangering the lives of the Black people in the vicinity.
White women are the biggest tattle-tales on the planet. They will report your ass to your boss, your teacher, the cops in a nano-second. Anyone who has been in the work force more than a year understands this.
And worse, people say, “Well, what could the police do? Their hands were tied. They had to escort them out/check their ids/etc”. Wrong, they could have chosen to do something different like reprimand the murderous resource-waster who called.
But that’s the point. They want us dead/gone. They just use the police so they don’t have to dirty their own hands.
“After two hours, I just called back the nonemergency line, and in the interim these people came up and started harassing me, physically pushing me.”
The root issue here is random ass white people thinking that they have the authority to police black people.
“In the end, neither party received a citation, and Snider and Smith were allowed to continue their afternoon cookout.”
Gentrification is a killer. As more white people pour into Oakland they try and take away spaces black folks have been using for years and years. I’m sure this white woman probably moved to Oakland and lives in one of the high rises on the lake and thinks she and people in her building are the only ones allowed to use…
It’s all about control. It had nothing to do with them barbecuing, sleeping, walking, listening to music, eating, driving...it’s about maintaining control over people you feel are less than you.
Kinda hilarious because I live by a really small green space in the middle of the city, maybe 25 yds x 5 yds. There are four posted signs in the space that read “Private Property: No Dogs Allowed.” They’re like 2 ft tall. For 16 months now, I have witnessed literally hundreds of people, literally all of them White,…
I mean, the world would be a billion times better if White people would keep their colonizing asses out of other people’s business. Why the fuck does someone #1. Pay attention to where grilling spots are and #2. Give a shit about where people are grilling??? How does someone live such a boring, meaningless existence???
How hard is it for white people to mind their own business?
I’ve read some of the other stories since the Philadelphia Starbucks debacle. PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR FELLOW WHITE FOLK: BLACK PEOPLE DOING LEGAL THINGS, LIKE SLEEPING OR COOKING OR EXISTING, IS NOT ILLEGAL. STOP WITH THIS SHIT.
That’s what their hurt white asses get for intentionally coming onto a black thread because Google Alerts has them feeling entitled to any and all of the Internets. This entire topic was about not feeding into white frenzy and “acceptable” blacks. And I see some regular Jez commenters as well who could’ve better…
Nope, my point was clear and needs no further clarification as demanded by non-Black people (and, of course, a few butt-hurt Black men). Interestingly, plenty of female POC completely understand what I’m talking about. Someone wrote a paragraph to ask me if I am against all interracial relationships or think Black men…
You said this so much better than I could.
It blows my mind how people are insisting that I’m saying no one should date interracially or that he isn’t “black enough.” Fetishizing Asian women isn’t a compliment. Talking negatively about Black women and why he can’t date them isn’t just a normal thing. Those things can and should be looked at, and if you are…
Seriously, the white people in this thread questioning your point of view can fuck off. You are right, this conversation is not for them and you don’t have to explain your point of view. This is an intracommunity discussion and I don’t give a shit about what some white guy russian troll thinks about it. Or Corsette…
It’s also worth remembering that ‘critical acclaim’ is a euphemism for white people’s acceptance and that is what is Glover is enjoying right now. That’s not to take away from his talent and accomplishments or suggest that black people don’t love him or that our love doesn’t matter. But the success he’s enjoying is…
