In many instances, it's all about defending yourself. Especially, if you feel you are being wrongly accused/singled out/etc. It's not disrespect, it's trying to state your case. As you grow into adulthood, you learn the time and the place to do this but teens are emotional and generally want to immediately defend their character.

I think teens need to learn how to shut the hell up and respect authority. BUT I also think that expecting them to be held to the same consequences as trained, educated professionals is insane! By all witness accounts I read (from blacks and whites), the white woman started it by being insulting and taking the first swing. Teenagers today are not going to tolerate being told to go back to their Section 8 housing when 1. They may very well live in the subdivision, one comparable or nicer 2. The harassers look like trailer trash themselves. Miss Piggy was really having a 50s flashback and had to be reminded the hard way that young blacks today feel empowered.

The kids were being kids. We need adults to be adults. And realize that when we fail to do so there are consequences.

There was a day when teens had respect and even a bit of fear of authorities. They may not have always agreed with those in authority, but they would not outright disrespect and have contempt for authority.
But, that day has passed.
You can see the result of lack of respect in our schools, in interactions with law enforcement, and with interactions with other authority figures.
And, where are they learning this?
When the “adults” in their lives demonize these authority figures and then turn around and make excuses for their children, this sends a mighty powerful message to these teens.

There are two white women in the video. This doesn't identify which of the two the roommate is discussing. How do you know it is "the woman who you say started it all"? It could be the other one.

did you mean entitled? Climbing pool fences and tresspassing seem more like entitled behavior to me.

Generalizing about an entire group based on the actions of a small minority is almost always wrong. Do you know how many of the kids jumped a fence or trespassed? Certainly not all and, from the sounds of things, very few. The girl who was thrown to the ground, for one, didn't.

The pool restricts residents to bringing 2 guests per day. Since she has a mom and a sister I will give them the benefit of the doubt and say they thought they could have 6 guests. The rest were trespassing.

And they came because she advertised the party. Rhodes is 20. She has a business.

And since they did not get the appropriate permit from the HOA (which i think will allow a party of 20-75 guests-certainly not 130), they were only allowed 6 guests. But I guess the rules do not apply to them.

Holy Camole... the racist white woman's roommate is a black male. You can NOT make this shit up!

Who says she's not racist. That tells me there was indeed some bad behavior that angered the residents.

Her roommate of 15 years.

Given she has a black roommate, I'd say that's probably the case. Not nice, but not really something to lose your job over.

And one can argue that telling them to go back to Section 8 in not really a racist statement but nmore of a class one=plenty of "low cl;ass" badly behaved non-black folks live in section 8.

Yeah, a bogus illegal business that makes parties at private venues and chargtes the attendees for such-she even provides escap routes for when they are caught tresspassing!

Enough that the private security guard could not control things on his own and had to call the police.

Holy Camole... the racist white woman's roommate is a black male. You can NOT make this shit up!

This is Rhodes account as written up in the WaPo. Note how her statements take no responsibility for any of the bad behavior that's occurring:

A woman identified as Tatiana Rhodes, 19, said that she and some friends had organized the party and were enjoying themselves at the Craig Ranch North Community Pool on June 5 when the conflict with a white neighbor broke out.

“This lady was saying racial slurs to some friends that came to the cookout. She was saying such things as ‘black effer’ and ‘that’s why you live in Section 8 homes,'” Rhodes told E. Johnson IV, a photographer who recorded the conversation and uploaded it online.

More insults were traded. One neighbor said “go back to your Section 8 home,” Rhodes said, referring to a form of federal housing assistance for low-income people.

Then, according to Rhodes, who is black, a white neighbor “came up to me and smacked me in my face.”

“That’s when both of the women attacked me,” the teen said.

A statement like her's should make you curious - there is always two sides to every story, and she's telling just one, and in a way that makes it seem like they were completely innocent and it was just the color of their skin that pissed people off.

But TX and race and liberal bias prevail, not natural intelligence and a desire for the whole truth. Sad state.
