I think you were supposed to bow or curtsy or something.
There's a certain type of personality that only feels safe when everyone is adhering. They need order and structure. They thrive on schedules and rules and are proud to follow them. They were tattletales as children and that's something they never outgrow. This is sometimes a result of utter chaos in their households as children. Sometimes they grew up with an alcoholic parent or no boundaries or schedules so they felt unsafe. It's a sickness, really. Many of you probably know someone like this.
She is Judy Hensler on Leave it to Beaver who grew up to be Gladys Kravitz on Bewitched. It wouldn't have mattered if the university president had fallen asleep in that room. She would have probably called the cops.
I was a police dispatcher on a college campus.
The school shuttles simply ran on a loop around campus hitting each spot every 10-15 minutes. And they were pretty damn good at maintaining that schedule too.
Want to know how many calls I took in which students questioned me where the hell the shuttle was because they were going to be late for class? As if I could magically know sitting in a room on the other side of campus and this quandary was worthy of a call to an emergency line to boot.
Other highlights:
- There are no parking spots in the lot next to my dorm. What do I do?
- Did the snow plows get to the M26 lot yet? I have class there in an hour.
- Someone moved the bench outside building X over to the other side of the door.
- There's a bunch of guys walking from the parking lot across from the stadium to the practice field. They seem to be up to something. (Yes, the football team does practice during the week of games)
Just a sampling.
My favorites were when the police were on the scene of an incident and someone would call in telling me that there's something going on over at X and the police are there. Just thought you should know.
Well thanks a lot my friend considering I'm the one that dispatched them to the scene.
So let's compare the two: on one hand we have 1 confirmed example, and one hearsay example. On the other hand, we have ZERO EVIDENCE OF HER BEING A BUSYBODY. Being a busybody would require more than one instance, and yet that's the line you have decided to make your stance on.
So if extrapolating based on 2 cases is lunacy, what does that make extrapolating based on ZERO cases?
Your 1 confirmed example and hearsay example can support her being a busybody even more easily than it can support her being a racist. Busybodies poke their noses into things that are none of their business, like policing the dorm's common room, and try to instruct others about how they should behave, like telling someone they aren't allowed to nap in the common room, and when they don't get the obedience they desire, they often call in authority figures, like the campus police.
I'm not making my stance on anything except that there isn't enough information to make any conclusions. You're the one who based on ZERO EVIDENCE is attacking this woman.
Remember the white supremacist marches, and people identifying these white supremacists based on photos. There were people who were identified mistakenly, and those people who were 100% innocent, who hadn't participated in the marches, had their jobs threatened, had their lives and the lives of their families threatened, had to go into hiding, while they tried to clear their names.

What are you talking about ??????
Your post said the left was dividing us by bringing up issues that actually matter and affect people, I simply gave you right wing examples that purposefully conflate arguments.
Either you dont know what prejudice means, or you are deflecting so hard that your sentences dont make sense.
How is her being in EVERYONE's business based on ONE example, "definitely proven"?
We have this particular incident, and then we have her own words, which I already linked, but will do so again so that you may take the time to read what she writes. She, herself, is telling you that she's up in everyone's business:

I think there's a whole lot of people using words they don't know the meaning of in this thread. Apparently, having thoughts about policy and harassing one person, makes you a busybody.

The lynching mentality isn't confined to racists.
My one example + hearsay would be stronger proof of her being a racist than a busybody. Either she's on everyone's case but only calls cops on Black people, or she's only on Black people's case. If you think she's a busybody than provide more examples of her busybody-ness. Right now, it looks like she only harasses Black people.

Until we know for sure it was motivated by the other student being black, it is ridiculous to say that this was solely because the other student was black. There is no proof of it. Her being up in everyone elses business is definitely proven. That's all.
Thats not what you said in the post i replied to
You made an affirmative argument , just a Seacove did.
