    After 11 days being inactive, I'd say it's not going anywhere lately.

    Beyond white privilege:


    Video of white woman calling police on black man in Central Park draws outrage

    Woman called 911 after birdwatcher asked her to leash her dog, reigniting storm over everyday racism


    When Cooper asked a woman to leash her exuberant dog, she said she would call the police.

    “I’m going to tell them there’s an African American man threatening my life,” she said.

    Appalling! She was fired from her job this afternoon and has surrendered her dog to a rescue organization.

    This is why I maintain it wasn’t ok to say racist jokes when you didn’t know better and it isn’t ok to pretend micro aggressions are a product of white liberal navel gazing.  Not every racist is David duke , also not every small racist act That you were ignorant of makes you a David Duke. Learn from your mistakes. Racism is a white problem and we need to be doing the most to stop it when we can.  If that means telling your coworkers, boss etc they are assholes and it is not ok to make racist jokes or if it means firing someone from their job , or shaming them from a past they refuse to acknowledge or apologize for that’s what needs to be done.  For fucks sake people need to stop being KKKarens.

    I hope that lady with the dog learned from her mistakes but I'm not convinced what she did could be called a mistake.  No, it sounds like it was something she did very intentionally, knowing full well the intended consequences of her words.

    White privilege is not existing in China.. not existing in Indonesia..not existing in India... not existing in Saudi-Arabia.. not existing in South-Africa (anymore, thank god but it is turning ugly over there killing white farmers ) ..  not existing in Mexico...  not existing in Argentina.
    It is only there where the government majority is white.  Europe is also a white privilege continent.
    America has very worrying numbers on this issue..  it is really bad.  And it looks not to get any better but the positive side on all of this is that filming everything might turn the favors.

    Non violent? 

    “ Unruly protesters spray-painted the precinct, tossed rocks at the building’s windows and vandalized at least one patrol car, according to Fox 9 footage.

    “Break that shit,” one protester could be heard, as others cheer.”

    No she didn’t make a mistake she just plain did something wrong and overtly racist.  She deserves losing her job and everything else she will get. I was speaking generally about whites people and the little things they do that lead to a climate that allows something like this to happen.

    “Karen” is definitely dumb, racist and should not have a dog. But..... Holy fuck people are just as bad! Death threats!!?? Really? Might as well send her to the electric chair. Would that make all these “woke” white people happy? Get a fucking grip. This video pissed off more white people than black people. What a joke.

    Can I also add that this Karen shit is completely overshadowing the murder of a human being by a cop in the news.

    You can be mad about both things at once. And where are you getting your numbers that more white people were pissed off than black people? Like that matters.  That is the kind of comment that to me is used to frame these situations as less serious than they are. The kind of racism that exists in America was created by white people and we (White people) should be doing the most work to end it and we should be pissed when white people are being racist. This situation could have turned into something much worse had Ku Klux Karen called the police and had an officer dispatched.   The point is that it is wrong behavior and needs to be called out continually until it stops. Not oh well more white people were pissed off so it isn’t that big of a deal.  As far as the police murder there is a separate thread for that, but still you can be pissed about both.  And likely due to the strength of the blue wall and police unions those jokers will be back on the Minneapolis PD.  Racism and white privledge is strong in this country.

    Nobody said it’s not a big deal. It’s just insane watching mostly crazy white people call for this idiots death. And nobody said you couldn’t be mad at both. Just surprising And sad that this Karen is getting way more attention than the police murder.
