Facts. NYC and NY in general is racist as shit. Going upstate is like going down south. NYC and Long Island are segregated like shit. People keep acting like only conservatives can be racists...
I agree with you. I didn't intend to make it seem as if I was imposing the idea that the we all should be concerned about how she got checked, you're definitely allowed to not care and like I said, I've come around on my consternation. I can only speak for myself and my particular niche concern is the use of the internet in daily life and how it spreads information. In this particular case, my observation is not worthwhile which was not a conclusion I had arrived at until after I posted it.
Stop going against the narrative that NYC is paradise in way and the rest of the country would be so much better if it was like NYC.
It is only the most segregated major city in the country. Don't turn off the autofellate machine.
I am discussing this very specific situation. If you're able to reply to that in your own words, feel free.
I don't really think this narrative exists outside of the east coast.
I remember being a young Black boy hearing stories about the NYPD while living in LA...and having LAPD to worry about.
This shit is fucking terrifying. Black people we just go through a different kind of stress of living than others. I can't overstate how much of a mental and possibly physical burden it is to constantly think of interactions like this that could lead to potential police involvement which could easily go South. I'm glad he got it on video, if he didn't, no one would believe him. There's so much of this that happens that no one believes. And that just stays with you. It's no wonder even accounting for education and wealth, black folks consistently have worse health outcomes. Racism is a fucking cancer to our cells. Bruh I'm just tired.
After reading that heavy article... she getting fired for sure, that's so much shit / articles / attention she's getting and putting on her employer
That's the difference between us. This very specific situation isn't that very specific. It's part of a history. So if you can't be bothered to read the link I provided then don't bother replying to me. It lays it out clearly for you.
But since you want me to reply in my own words, sure: How do you think it feels as a black person seeing us treated like that but then folks just wanna harp about their concern for the dog? "Oh well we know the guy's ok but how's Fido?!" Please don't figure out a way to all live matter with the dog....
...just don't.
FUCK THAT. They go harder.... Gotta prove they're "one of the good ones". And "Only color that matters to me is blue".
I'm a white guy getting near to middle age living in the burbs in the US, and I don't 'record anything and everything' because I have no need to, outside of wanting to record my kids + family doing dumb stuff. My background + privilege make me safe. The guy recording this did so because it potentially saved his life.
There is no way NYC is worse than Chicago's blatant segregation. Agree with the rest though.
User banned (2 months): dismissing concerns around racism over multiple posts
No, the guy recording this didn't do so because he was looking to save his life.
He had an issue with what the lady was doing and wanted everyone to know about it.
I don't disagree with him that what the woman was doing goes against park rules....but really???????
Damn, had no idea about this tool. Thanks! (it's extremely unoptimized though lol)
"So, you called the cops on the new Captain America..."
Cause theres a video being taken of someone breaking a pretty harmless rule.
I mean, I personally wouldn't go down to my local park and take videos of people walking their dogs without a leash or not picking up their poop.
Yeah because it likely saved him from being shot dead by cops or ending up in Rikers for asking a white woman to obey the leash rules of the park because he simply wanted to enjoy some birdwatching.
Are you black or a person of color that is constantly harassed, brutalized and murdered by the NYPD?
Do you live in NYC?
Recording this might have stopped this man from being arrested. Imagine if the cops had arrived. They probably would have arrested him on suspicion of assault. Imagine some other black man in the park who the cops might have questioned about this.
Are you serious with this shit? It's not WRONG to express concern when the video is literally showing an abused dog.
It does NOT mean they don't care about the person involved.
Jesus Christ.
No.
Unfortunately the notice is going to prevent me from continuing this conversation, so I'm going to bow out.
You do realize that there was a part of the conversation before he started recording, right? He didn't start the recording until after she started becoming confrontational.
This thread is why he recorded, because black people are often not believed that over white people in a he said she said. Many people are sitting in Rikers today for crimes they did not commit due to hysterical 911 calls.
NYC has a massive bullshit housing problem that plays into it. Chicago literally engineered its shitty segregation. Hearing white liberals talk about the "dangerous parts of town" is infuriating. Having seen most parts of NYC worth visiting Chicago wishes it could have neighborhoods that diverse.
Your mistake is assuming he started recording the video right when he saw the dog off leash. He asked her to leash her dog politely prior to the video. When she didn't and escalated he started recording. That's just prudent in ANY situation in America where you're in a verbal altercation with a white woman. Why? Cause there's a chance she will do exactly what the fuck she did....
Oh absolutely. And sadly it's by design across the US. They NEVER wanted integration. Just enough desegregation to shut us up.
Stop being so defensive. Pointing out the messed up priorities is perfectly reasonable. "Jesus Christ", indeed.
Very happy to hear that the man is ok. I just hope the NYPD doesn't harrass this man now.
I'm also very interested if she will get any kind of package now. Yes she's a higher up, but this is a PR nightmare. Consider this was apparently on the company website earlier today. (It's Twitter so while I take it with a grain of salt, it's the most basic anti-racist statement from a corporate entity)
Also, FTI kinda doesn't want to be in the news right now. Apparently some fraction of 300k Indian investors, are pissed because of their inability to access $4billion USD in some kind of find. Good time ahead.

It's so sad (and unsurprising) that every time the color of our skin is vilified by fragile white people who try their best to get us murdered by cops for simply existing by exerting and weaponizing their privilege, these disclaimers from mods have to be made in these threads.
The fuck is wrong with people.
The fuck is wrong with people.
So do I. Shit touches a nerve with me. As a kid I never understood why my parents were so insistent to tell me how I need to be careful around white folks. They grew up in the Jim Crow south in the 40's and yet I see the type of shit that's STILL being pulled today I get it and it pisses me off to no end.
You know you dog should be on a leash. Just do it. Someone pointed it out. Apologize and move on. Not hard. But no, gotta let white pride fuck with you. Trying to weaponize that white womanhood is some filthy shit.
Before the internet, before cameras in our pockets back in the day this would have turned into a "white woman was assaulted" story via word of mouth. Getting more vicious with each telling. What chance would dude have in court?
You are saying the dude was in the wrong for recording, bringing up world star, and saying the recording wouldn't have saved his life?
Do you know anything about american police and black men?
jennerific obviously means well but posting Franklin Templeton's feelgood Generic inclusivity statement has nothing to do with their need to handle this carefully.
She's going to get fired and they reacted swiftly and appropriately. I'll be shocked if she isn't terminated tomorrow or within 48 hours — but no amount of yelling at Twitter is changing HR Policy and NY contract law in one Memorial Day afternoon.
The way she was strangling that poor dog for fuck sakes. I'm glad she was outed and hopefully people will think twice before behaving this way in parks.
I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, so apologies if I am misreading your inflection, but even medium-sized cities along the coast tend to be segregated quite a bit. Come to Hampton Roads, I can show you the Filipino neighborhoods in Virginia Beach, the Indian section over in Norfolk, the blocks in Ocean View where the migrant South Americans flock to, etc. It ain't just New York my man. And we're like what, half their size across seven cities?
Okay and I thought I was the only one that noticed how segregated some parts of the 757 happen to be. You can find some amazing Filipino food around here.
