Woman calls cops another Black Jogger

Post Reply New Topic

That woman seems like a racist, little b!tch to me.

That I agree with, but that has nothing to do with the power component. The way I see it is:

Prejudice = When you judge representatives of various groups based on your inherent assumption about these groups, instead of looking at them as individuals

Racism = A specific brand of prejudice when the groups in question happen to be various races

Neither of these two things have to do with power. Its all about belife/opinion/attitude, not the "power" of whoever holds that belief/opinion/attitude.



Then you probably haven't read his works or watched his videos. In his videos he never says "whites have priviledge so they deserve it". Rather he says "blacks have priviledge that they don't deserve". That doesn't sound like envoking white priviledge.

In any case, what I was trying to say is that since nobody outside of fringe takes David Duke seriously, he doesn't have any real power. Yet he is taken to be racist. So that should show that one doesn't need to have power in order to be racist.

I disagree with people that invoked possibility of autism or anxiety disorder to her defense since there is no evidence for it. However, this doesn't change the fact that she was scared because she was a woman, he was a man, she was alone, and he was saying he will do something that she won't like.



Well, it goes both ways. When you look at those videos you say "its obvious she was the one making a threat" while when I look at them I say "its obvious that she is threatened". And ironically we are looking at the same exact thing. You are looking at her strangling the dog to say she was aggressive. I am looking at her strangling the dog to say she was scared (nobody would scream and desperately hold the dog like that unless they are pushed on the edge with fear).



If she walks away the dog would go to his bisquits.



The purpose of strangling the dog was to keep it from going to his bisquits. That was probably also the reason why she didn't just walk.

I haven't heard of his nephew having autism. But then again I wasn't really paying attention to this outside of this thread. Do you have any links that talk about it?

In any case, as far as I recall, the man was the one who was filming. So if the issue is the man's nephew rather than the womans, I don't see how you can really say that one party is hurting the other party. More like the man hurting his own nephew.

These new expanded definitions are just there to weaponize the term and to invalidate critics.

So according to this definition if I live in an all black neighborhood and I am discriminated against by the powers that be am I a victim of racism or is that impossible because I am white?

These successful attempts at weaponizing the definition approaches the real problem completely the wrong way. The problem is not an unfair white privilege you are automatically born into, it is that if you are a minority of any kind it is MUCH MORE LIKELY you will be at an unfair disadvantages. Those disadvantages run the gamet from the majority thinking another way meaning you have to go through many more steps to accomplish what you want to intentional, unintentional, and institutional discrimination against you. If you are in the minority you have a much greater chance of being treated as you should be or better then you should be, if you are a member of a minority you have a much greater chance of being treated unfairly. I have oft discussed this concept in the Autism politics section. Blacks can be racist, autistics can be ableist. There is no innate white or NT privilege.

I will agree with the article on one point there is no such thing as reverse racism, it is just racism. Yes conservatives most certainly can weaponize language also.

By saying incorrectly one group as a whole is racist and the other can’t be you give reasons for people to ignore their prejudices and unfair and discriminatory actions. You put the majority on the defensive by quilt tripping them and you tell minorities that in the end the system will always stacked against you which will further add to the psychologically damage you have from whatever discrimination you have been a victim of.

Most importantly it undercuts the goal of ending discrimination and prejudice against individuals because of their groups by defining a trait you can or can not have because you are a member of a group.

I agree with you here. This reminds me of what few different people mentioned in few different occasions: if there was a planet where the majority were autistics then autism would be a norm and being an NT would be a disability. They would probably come up with some diagnosis that NT-s would be diagnosed with.



I think there "is" reverse racism: it is one of the sub-kinds of racism. I mean, racism can have different motives. So it makes perfect sense to break it up into different kinds depending on the motive. One of the motives -- namely trying to undo the perceived injustice by introducing the opposite injustice -- would be a reverse racism.

Its true though that one can't automatically assume that "plain racism" is automatically white-on-black while reverse racism is automatically black-on-white. If you look at the rhetoric of either side, each of them claim to be discriminated against and are trying to oppose perceived discrimination. Now, we can argue all day as to whose perception is right and whose is wrong. But the point remains that they both "think" they are being discriminated against, so they both engage in "reverse racism" in some way.

That doesn't mean that reverse racism is the only kind of racism, it isn't. For example, eugenics would "not" fall under this category. But still reverse racism can be thought of as "one of the brands" of racism.

She appears to have people interaction problems.

“The only thing I’ll tell you is she never spoke directly to a person. She always spoke through her dog, and in a baby voice,” Mead told the outlet.

That's weird.

However, the "I'm going to tell them you're African American" may just seem racist, because maybe this is how she deflects people interactions.

Maybe she desperately hates interacting with people so much that she uses whatever means she can to avoid it.

Aboriginal people are never racist toward anyone. Or at least I have never experienced it.

There is an Australian slur for white people—ABC—which means “aboriginal bum cleaner.”

I have read his readings and he believes in "white superiority". He is an intellectual but is strongly influenced by confirmation bias pertaining to his beliefs. He and his ilk believe in "race war" where the previously oppressed have been given too much benefits by the "all powerful" white man after decolonisation.

Like his hero Adolph Hitler he believes the fall of the Aryans in India is historical precedent for what will happen to the west in future if immigration isn't stopped and segregation is not reintroduced.

Never heard of it??

I couldn’t believe it myself.....

Three things QFT
1) Anxiety can be a state of mind rather than a diagnosable trait. Amy Cooper apologised but tried to use state anxiety as a reason for her over reaction. However she seemed in calm control when making her fake phone call.
2) The dog was on leash so how could it eat the biscuits?
3) If the dog was on leash and she was alone then why didn't she leave instead of staying there?

People are creative when it comes to slurs

The point is that he has no power. Since you said one has to be in a position of power to be racist, then by that definition he won't be racist -- and all of his beliefs would be a moot point. Since you clearly think he "is" racist, then you have to admit that it "is" possible to be racist without being in a position of power, which is the point I was trying to make.

She "did" have anxiety as a "state of mind at the moment" but she didn't have "anxiety disorder".

Her "state of mind" was triggered by her being a female alone with much bigger male who said he will do something she won't like. Any other female in this situation would be in a "state of anxiety" too.



On these videos she did *not* look calm at all. She was screaming, frantically trying to hold her dog. That looks rather anxious to me.



The dog was "not" on the leash. I thought that was the entire context of the whole encounter.



Because the dog was not on the leash.
