Get outta town with that nonsense.



Outside of a poorly lit dive where old strippers go to die, Ambrosia doesn't have much of a following.

Al Sharpton had his own show on MSDNC.

What does the time elapsed have to do with anything?

I explained to you how it came to be that the world found out about Janelle Ambrosia. The video of her went viral. It just did. The others did not.
Yes, I am comparing two phenomenons that carry very distinct patterns.

That was that dude's first-hand experience with racism. So he filmed it. You act like the same guy was in the room when the three videos you posted were shot, he wasn't. He just saw her and he took the video. Your argument doesn't even make sense at this point. A video shot by an individual because that individual thinks what he/she is shooting is relevant is completely personal and unique for every person. His experience has nothing to do at all with the other three videos, he didn't experience those things first-hand.
Wait...lol..His sentiment WAS resonated by the viral mob though. Not just on here...



Quote:
If you're asking about why the guy who made the video of Janelle Ambrosia saw fit to film her and put it on the internet, I just explained that, but you'd have to ask him. Obviously, what she did resonated with him personally, so he filmed her. If you're asking why so many people (over 9 million) have watched the video of her and not the three you posted, I have already explained that as well. The video went viral.
No, I don't have to ask him. He stated such.

Quote:
“Honestly, a lot of this stuff is swept under the rug, and it’s rare that you find somebody being as belligerent as she is and forcefully angry toward an individual of another race on tape,†he said. “With all of this stuff that’s going on, the world needs to know that this is happening in Cheektowaga, in Buffalo, New York. It’s happening here. It’s happening to an individual who promotes positive stuff, so if you’re going to say it to me, say it on camera. And she definitely didn’t have a problem doing that.â€
OK, so the world needs to know. The world now knows, right?

So why isn't the "world" outraged by the other comments? Why do the other men gain FOLLOWINGS?

Yes, you are chalking it up to "the mob has spoken"....lol. Just say it, it's ok.



Quote:
It's not a silly analogy. It doesn't matter what the content of the videos happens to be. Some will resonate and go viral, others won't. You could have been talking about videos of cute puppies and it would have been the same. Some get millions of views, others get less than a thousand.
So just ignore the reason why? That's what you're saying?

Sp, are you sweeping their comments under the rug? Because you had no problem with Narvell Benning making sure Janelle Ambrosias comments weren't.

You've captured the whole premise of this thread--and of many other threads started daily in this forum--quite succinctly in one sentence.

White racists?

No, racism by whites is always wrong and often illegal.

The same goes for sexism by males.

However, if you would like to screw some white males out of an education, job or promotion, feel free knowing that not only is it legal, but the federal government fully and enthusiastically supports your efforts to hate on white males.

For fifty years we have been ignoring every standard blacks fail to achieve because of the two possible explanations for black underachievement, widespread white racism is the only reasoning found to be acceptable to the people who continually fail to meet the standards met by white males.

Of course the other reason is blacks fail all on their own, but we can't say that because that would be racist.

No, I think he just took his best stab at being Freudian.

It, literally, took 30 seconds to find those videos doing a search....

so much time and effort

When it is one irrelevant, poor white trash woman in front of Dollar General....

like Janelle Ambrosia...

The WORLD needs to be aware..it HAS to be known.


Does that sum it up pretty much?
I don't see why you are bringing this up. Those who you wish to reach cannot be reached.

For the rest of us, there's no point. It's clear--there is a clear double standard and we know that racial hatred is okay in one direction and not okay in the other. It's illogical. It's profoundly stupid. But that's the way it is and it won't be changing anytime soon.

You can say that about virtually EVERY thread in this sub forum...

And that is a very literal statement.
