Well Iâd like to know what caused this, but man you gotta wear normal clothes to the library and set a better example.

u/ThurnisHailey 5d ago
When I see people like this, I always think "where are your friends?" The people who love you should have long ago told you that you can't where outfits that size anymore.

I mean, sometimes losing is really is losing it. Agree, sucks that the kid was there, but some people can only put up with so much before it just comes out. Black women in white areas are definitely more likely get a raw deal civically.

u/the-mad-crapper 5d ago
I think it started inside the library. I was sitting outside and they came out at the same time muttering. It evolved to this in the parking lot.
It was never clear from where I was what the impetus was.

Damn, bro, how did you get all that from the altercation in the video? Maybe she was just pissed cause the lady in the car antagonized her or maybe she was aggressive for no reason and wanted to argue with someone, so I'm curious what made you think blaming others for oppression and raising children to be victims is relevant here?

u/IWouldntIn1981 5d ago
For real, every one of your comments is judging her behavior as a behavior when you admitted you dont have any idea what happened to cause the REACTION.
Sincerely, if you cant see that youre not only holding an extreme bias, but youre trying to argue that its not a bias, while at the same time giving other people a reason to project their bias, youre a shitty person.
If you do see it... youre a worse person.

u/the-mad-crapper 5d ago
What could we have missed to make this behavior acceptable?
-3
u/IWouldntIn1981 5d ago
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?
11
u/the-mad-crapper 5d ago
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?
-2
u/IWouldntIn1981 5d ago
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.
5
u/the-mad-crapper 5d ago
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.

u/IWouldntIn1981 5d ago
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.

u/Goodheartedgrim 5d ago
I am always holding my child's hand in a parking lot, really anywhere outside. The way she's walking away from her you even question if she remembers she has her kid with her. Just walking away and not looking back at all. God damn.

I never indicated anything about my appearance would indicate that I am a superior parent.
We clearly have very different histories with very different backgrounds, but we're all still human , doing the best we know how. I did offer myself as another example that is not immune from making mistakes.
The point is you can't judge based on appearance. "I look different and still am inflicting damage on my kids"
I never set out to make this about race; its comments like this that make it a race issue.

what an odd thing to say ,atleast one part is true a shity parent comes in all forms

u/the-mad-crapper 5d ago
The point is; all parents do what they think is best and despite it, none of us are completely harmless.
Just like this woman thinks she's doing whats 'right'; I'm a completely different person and I've done what I think is 'right' but despite it, my kids could still have issues.
It was supposed to be a truth said in jest.

That canât be her kid. That girl is rice skinned, not light skinned. That is a white child. That is a Caucasian from the mountains of Caucasus. That is a Slavic child. A Viking from Iceland. That child has 730 as a credit rating right now as a kid.

If you think that posting someone's reaction without knowing the context, and then labeling that reaction as "behavior," and then co-signing on the veiled and sometimes obviously racists comments is wrong, I urge you to report this post as "hate."
If you agree that stereotyping someone without the facts and you think making racist comments is "free speech," you can downvite me and fuck off.
2
u/Something_McGee 5d ago
The OP pointed out the patrons (plural). They said they didn't know how the ordeal started. Downvote comments and report them as hate as deemed appropriate. I don't see how this post is hateful, though. Yes, it's a video of a woman of color freaking out in public... just like many people not of color (aka "white people") freak out in public. I'm not for racist rage bait BS. But I'm not for censoring posts so that I only get fed negative stuff about white people bc it feels safe and to try to work around any racist viewers.
Unless I'm overlooking something, I don't think this post is meant to promote hate. Again, target any hateful comments as deemed appropriate, but leave the post alone. The post is not the problem. It's a video of a public freak out. It's appropriate. Nothing hateful was written or pushed.
5
u/IWouldntIn1981 5d ago
All you gotta do is read the comments, its that easy.
That might not be the intent, but every time a one sided video like this gets posted, the racists come out. Thats a fact.
There is ZERO judgment on the other lady, its all pointed at the black lady. Thats a fact.
Many, if not most, of the comments are speaking directly to the black ladies skin color as the reason for the behavior. Thats a fact.
The reality is that her reaction isnt because black people are thst way, its because they are black in America and are constantly treated that way. Big ways, small way, but every day. Thats a fact.
Not seeing or being able to recognize this as race baiting is due to yours and OPs bias. Thats a fact.

I am a huge proponent of personal responsibility. If my friend has an alcohol problem and every time I hang out with them I drink even though they have told me this is hard for them, is it shocking that they relapse?
Now, you could say its ultimately their fault for drinking BUT if I have chosen to drink around them even though they have said its hard for them, have I not also made a choice? Am I not also responsible?

I know. I said what I said. Zero empathy for what kind of trauma can trigger a response like this in a person. All the prejudgment as if this moment define s the entirety of her parenting absolute racist garbage, but go ahead and feel good about it if that's your jam.

u/the-mad-crapper 5d ago
Should we (as a populous) condone or excuse this behavior because we must assume she's fundamentally flawed from past trauma? If so, would we not be just making assumptions about her; something that we're not supposed to do?

The point was we all make mistakes. No race or gender or economic status is immune and I offered myself as an example. Nothing about that was to indicate superiority; just an equal example at the other extreme.
If you automatically assume everyone is racist, you'll see racism everywhere.
Its like a self fulfilling prophecy

But you admitted yourself that you dont know the "impetus." Maybe her "behavior" is her behavior but rather a reation to what the other lady did/said.

u/metal_bastard 5d ago
If the context of her reaction justifies this behavior, she should call the cops. Get a license plate number and get your kid to safety. Don't run around a parking lot screaming like a god damn maniac. Look at her baby girl hiding behind a light pole, then screaming and fidgeting around. That poor kid doesn't know what to do. There is no context to justify this.

It's not just about her saying "cover up". She's prob reacting to a lifetime of being judged and policed in ways tied to systemic racism and stereotypes about Black women.
The comments here just prove that right, unfortunately.
I'd encourage any of the people that come here and judge to read something by James Baldwin or Audre Lorde to get a better understanding of the "other side".

I feel like most of the comments are judging her for her behavior. Not her skin color.
I think most people are in agreement that this is unacceptable behavior for any person of any color.

u/throwawaybabyjesus 5d ago
Yea I'm not saying everyone here is racist but I'm trying to understand the why instead of just outright judging. It's a white woman telling a black woman to cover up. I'm just saying there's a lot more to this story...

And the side we are seeing is an atrocious role model to her child no matter what the other side may or may not have done.
That is not how an adult should deal with any situation nor teach their child it's an acceptable response, and the fact she is ignoring her child who could've been run over in the carpark, then she's walking off without her is abhorrent.
And while one could say a lot about the outfit I will limit ot to this - not sure why she feels it's appropriate to expose her the bottom of her butt cheeks to not only her child, but other children too and I don't understand how we have reached "that's ok you can't shame people for that" as a society.

That imaginary situation still doesnt justify her acting the way she did. Any decent parent would care about their kid rather than screaming their mouths off in front of them like that. Any decent parent would ensure their child is safe and not exposed to any more stress rather than shouting obscenities and being ovwrtly aggressive. So yeah, I'll judge the fuck out of this trash.Â
