I agree. The blood sport of ruining people's lives for fun over the internet is a really sad and scary thing. |
No to all this. She said what she meant, drunk or high or whatever. Also, this is a public record, which means that a reporter working the police beat checked the blotter as they likely do every day and saw it. It wasn't the usual DUI story so they ran a story on it. There is no conspiracy, no social media monster lurking to "gotcha!" good folks doing the right things and going about their lives. But be a racist and well, deal with the consequences. This "clean white woman" gets no sympathy here. |
It’s not any sadder than the contortions you’re performing to gloss over extremely disturbing behavior .You don’t get to play with fire and be shocked at getting burned .Carry on |
You sound you were the sh!t in high school |
She should be punished, which she is...going to jail and having a dui on her record. But what is the goal, driving someone to be a pariah or to the point of suicide (not uncommon for victims of online ridicule)? Or hopefully rehabbing this lost, idiotic, drunken soul after she serves her punishment so that she may eventually improve her life and become a functioning, contributing member of society? Anonymous keyboard warriors like yourself are so brave and full of wisdom. However, you lack humanity, compassion, reason and character. The internet shame culture and its vile sibling of mercilessly attacking and mocking people online to the point of releasing their home address, their family member's info (apparently dead or alive), their children and their work does nothing to improve society and can ruin lives far beyond the person the internet chooses to mock today. It might be a fun sport for you, and if it is then that is a sad and sorrowful thing. You really better hope and pray that no one takes your lowest moment (or your not so anonymous dcum internet postings) and puts them out online for viral fodder. |
Here's the thing though. For decades this type of 'quiet racism' has been swept under the rug. It's been ignored. It's been whispered about behind hands at house parties when a person had too much to drink. But nothing has changed because people think its perfectly acceptable to have a mindset like this as long as they keep those thoughts/actions/words kept to private settings. That's why you see women like her, 32 years old, who think because she's white and blonde that she's somehow superior. That somehow that should be her ticket to getting out of jail. Like she doesn't somehow belong there because while she did something wrong, there should be no consequences. It only comes out when people like her are so enraged or inebriated that they forget to keep their little prim mouths shut. Or you know...when their son/daughter marries someone 'unacceptable'. It was also very easy to say 'well Rebecca surely isn't like that - you have no proof!' Yeah, now we have proof and hopefully people like her learn a lesson. A lesson that was not instilled in her since childhood - that she is not better than anyone else and she needs to sit her lily-white butt down. Whether its quiet racism or quite classism or quiet whatever, it can't be tolerated. And its not just her FYI: Hello Justine Sacco: "Going to Africa. Hope I don’t get AIDS. Just kidding. I’m white!” ![]() Hello Caren Turner: Interferes with arrest that had nothing to do with her then flashes badge and yells at police "you may shut the f*** up". ![]() Hello Roseanne Barr: Self-explanatory. ![]() Hello Jacqueline Kent Cooke: Hits man atop the head after saying “Hurry up, Jew. I’ve got places to be.” ![]() |
I forgot to say rehabilitation is impossible with no lesson learned. If she'd woken up in jail with a hangover, her lesson would have been 'don't drive drunk idiot'. Now that she's gone viral and been shamed her lesson is 'don't be a quiet racist and don't drive drunk idiot'. |
Did I hear her call herself a pretty lady? oy |
One thing we can agree one is that she should be punished , the rest of bigotry apology wrapped in virtue signaling should be tossed where it belongs : The trash |
-10000 You shoot a loaded gun randomly on a roadway, you deserve to be mocked and shamed severely. You don't need that drink, you sure as hell don't need multiple, and you definitely don't need to drive home after drinking, with so many options. If you want to get smashed at your own home, go for it. But entitled white women stuff aside, I think people should be publicly mocked and shamed for drinking and driving. Insanely selfish, incredibly dangerous, and completely needless. |
I was just thinking that a younger Reese would have been great to play a dramatized version of this arrest. The story would go on to tell how she got woke while serving her sentence and then went on to teach in an inner city public school under the mentorship of a sassy, but wise older black woman. Then, she’d marry up and maybe adopt one of her students. Redemption works as a title, right? |
Lost in all of this are the feelings of the police offficer . What she said to him was incredibly demeaning , patronizing and outright condescending. However , it can only surprise those who are not well versed in the dynamics of the American south .
Ms Cutshaw was making it clear in no uncertain terms that the officer had no business entertaining the idea of arresting her because that’s not what he’s hired to do , his job is to go after brown people . Her mindset is all too prevalent in Dixieland where the well- to-do ( though she isn’t one but wishes she was ) look at whites of lower socio economic status with a mixture of shame, disgust , condescension and self serving bigotry . They only need them to stoke racial animus during electoral periods and in the case of police officers to serve as modern day plan station overseers . #Sad |
NP here. I wonder about the DCUM like fascination of publicly shaming her. What that sorority level social reject did and what she believes and says was wrong, no doubt. Which simply means I very purposefully avoid people like this hateful woman - those who so obviously (!!!!!) peaked in high school. But what do her haters get out of this? Seems some posters are trying to play holier than thou here. Interesting. |
Man throughout this thread I thought about Reese’Do you know who I am?’ Witherspoon and how miss Cutshaw is a poorer version of her . Though in witherspooon’s case , there was no dog whistle which I think would’ve forever negatively impacted her career . However , it’s not like folks are clamoring to watch a witherspoon movie these days . |
