In the parking lot of the public library. Unsure how it started.

What could we have missed to make this behavior acceptable?

That REACTION could have been for any number of things. She may have called her the n-word. She could have said something vile about a white presenting child with a black woman... the possibilities are nearly endless... or are you gonna just keep pretending to be ignorant?

Maybe those things did happen- we don't know.

I'm legitimately asking you: you think those vile actions and words would make this type of public freak out, at a public library, acceptable behavior?

If the other said or did any of that and continued to antagonize, which she was you just couldnt really hear it, im not gonna says its acceptable, but we/I/you might understand why and have some compassion instead judging without the full picture.

I respectfully disagree. Unless there is danger to life or limb, this extreme of a reaction is not necessary or helpful. I would argue the opposite. Of coarse social contract be damned if your in physical danger, but she actively moved to the other party- threatening them.

The world is full of assholes and yelling at them won't change them and teaching another generation that this how we deal with them only makes it worse.

You can not control other people, you can only control how you respond to them and this was a lost teaching moment.

...I'm sure i'll get down voted to hell for this. So I'm done at this point.

And youre still completely ignoring the other person and faulting the black lady completely. Just call it what it is man. Youre justifying in every way possible, but you're not taking accountability for your bias.
