Maybe people should start posting those threads again. Or if they are no longer allowed, maybe these shouldn't be either.

If she was, OP likely wouldn’t have started a thread about it.

If a black woman walked into a Vietnamese nail salon and went off on the owner for being Vietnamese and not speaking English to her liking, I'd see no reason not to post it and call her out for her behavior.

I mean, black people are apparently big Trump supporters now, per the threads I read in here, so maybe that black lady really has it out for immigrants?

It’s no coincidence that you’re seeing more incidents like this. It’s gonna keep happening until someone is made made an example of what happens when you shoot off your mouth with slick talking.

All these greasy mouthed Trump supporters are really feeling themselves.
If people like this woman are not doxed after 48 hrs, you can bet dollars to donuts they are not Trump supporters.

I wonder if some of these same people have an issue with articles highlighting black racism against whites on here. Notice in my threads I never go out of my way to highlight the perpetrator of these acts. I could care less whether they are white, black, Asian, whatever, they are all fools that need to be exposed. I don't go out of my way to find these articles, I just see what is posted on the Yahoo site and this story was posted on the main news feed.

Also, how convenient that people on here forget that I've also posted articles on here such as that white high school student that was 'shamed' on social media for 'cultural appropriation,' for wearing a red Chinese dress to her high school prom. I defended her.
Ok, let me backtrack...it's not your intent but you are subject to whatever Yahoo decides deserves your attention. If their editors think racist white will get better ratings well that's what you are presented. Meanwhile they're choosing another story to NOT be presented to you.

As such, by default you're just passing their agenda to generate ratings and profit along.

In the media, it's the "Year of the white racist".

For historical reference:

Quote:
The Summer of the Shark refers to the coverage of shark attacks by American news media in the summer of 2001. The sensationalist coverage of shark attacks began in early July following the Fourth of July weekend shark attack on 8-year-old Jessie Arbogast, and continued almost unabated—despite no evidence for an actual increase in attacks—until the September 11 terrorist attacks shifted the media's attention away from beaches. The Summer of the Shark has since been remembered as an example of tabloid television perpetuating a story with no real merit beyond its ability to draw ratings

That's as skeevy of a premise as someone posting thread after thread of black youths acting badly under the past administration and blaming it on them getting all full of themselves because they got a black president.

As a matter of fact, we did have some stormfronters posting around here that did that.
(and we slapped them down for it)

Well at least now you know where you picked that disease up, I'd suggest seeing a doctor about it.

Yes. What is there to do about it? So some lady goes off on someone else, mocks their language...and?

What? What do you think should be done about it? Is there something that can be done about it? What is the point of it? Are we to gather together and go stand outside her house with pitchforks and signs? What, exactly, do you think should be done here?

And?

Now what.
Now she's held up to shame, which is beneficial. For her, so that she may improve her behavior, and for others, the better to be deterred by her example.

You can deny all the hell you want to. These bigots have become emboldened in the era of Trump, and it’s high time that people quit laying down for it. Your analogy is a load of bull.

I’m getting sick of this overt racist crap. These folks need to start getting their teeth kicked in...NOW.

I hear you, what are we hall monitors now? I could go stand under a bridge downtown and watch various people insult each other. But, what's the point? Am I suppose to say, "now, now people let's be nice to one another". Like that would end well, more than likely it wouldn't.
