[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder what he said to her before he started filming.  Pretty sure black women in a secluded area of a park don't like being filmed by white men they've never met before.

Pretty sure they wouldn't respond by calling the police and pretending to be physically threatened.[/quote]

I'm not so sure they wouldn't call the police, but it might depend on what was said before the video started.  He may have said things that weren't recorded. [/quote]

Or, maybe she is a racist. And, maybe you should stop trying to justify her behavior.[/quote]

Like it or not, some of us will withhold judgment in a situation where we're being served up a woman to condemn based on an incomplete version of an event.

And of course she was the one to apologize because she had already quickly been doxxed and publicly threatened.

But it is good to know that the next time I see a minority committing any similar infraction, as I have many times in the past, I can instruct them how to behave - as Birdwatcher Kevin did here - secure in the knowledge that no one will ever give a white person grief for instructing minorities on expected laws and social norms in parks and other public venues.

DP.  You are being obtuse.  A normal person doesn't react the way this woman did when asked to leash her dog or even after the man said he'd lure her dog away with treats.  No one made her do what she did.  No one made her say those things.  You can choose to believe there is something else there to "justify" her actions but the reality - as uncomfortable as it may be for you -  is that this woman knowingly called authorities to report an AA man doing something she knew he wasn't doing.

That may be your version of your reality, and you are welcome to it.

We don't know what words or actions took place before the video clip.

We don't know why someone who supposedly just wanted to watch birds and was annoyed by a distracting, unleashed dog would carry around treats to try and attract the same dogs he supposed wants tethered to another person's leash.  It's creepy.

And we know that while the clearly upset white woman threatened to call the cops on him, we saw that she took pains to describe him as "African American," as if she was worried calling him "black" would make her sound racist.  So it appears there may have been a weird mix of apprehension, fear and vindictiveness going through her head at the same time.

But you weren't there, so your pretending to know "reality" only underscores that you choose to see events so they will confirm your existing beliefs about how and why people behave.   The simpler the narrative, the better, even if it's not the whole story. [/quote]
