[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if this Birdwatcher would’ve also approached a burly black man with a pitbull in the park , and record that guy I highly doubt it he saw a target and he took it ,  he saw an opportunity and he took it .  And now we Have this viral  Social media storm which does nothing except invite us divide a fractured country during a pandemic we are being destroyed in every single way and a stupid little incident in a park is what we are focused on[/quote]
It's interesting that you're focusing on what the man would've done in another situation. What about what the woman would've done if a white man or woman approached her. Do you think she still would've called the police?[/quote]

[b]I think if a man of any race threatened to lure her dog away she would have reacted similarly. [/b]her reaction may have been more fearful due to race, though. I also think it’s a good point that he wouldn’t have done that to any man (of any race). it’s not one-dimensional here. [/quote]
Keep thinking that (bolded statement). I guess that's what helps you go to sleep at night not having to worry about injustice.  [/quote]

read my second sentence. I worry a lot about injustice, and I don’t think twitter mobs based on facebook posts and contextless videos really help fight injustice. [/quote]

The fact that you are more worried about the injustice of a racist woman who would accuse a man standing there recording her on his phone of being an African American man in the park threatening and attacking her and her dog in a hysterical voice and demand that the police come immediately being twittered mobbed, than you are for the injustice of a blatently false racial and sexual assault charge that could get him beaten, arrested and possibly killed by the police speaks justice.

You are not worried about injustice.  You are worried about preserving white privilege and white bigots being punished for abusing their privilege.  If you weren't, you would be more worried about what she tried to do to that man, than you were about her facing repercussions for what she did.[/quote]
