[QUOTE]“And I voted for Trump! So there! What, you want to kick me out because of that?” the woman shouts in the video, which has gone viral. “And look who won! And look who won! And look who won!”
According to Grady, the Nov. 23 incident occurred at the arts and crafts store in Chicago after the woman told Grady to go ahead of her at the register. Once Grady was done checking out, she said she heard the woman grow irate. The woman’s “racist rant,” Grady said, included slurs.
“It just sounded like a disgruntled customer for a second,” Grady told The Washington Post. “And then she made a homophobic slur, she started cussing the manager, all sorts of things. It just kind of got out of control. So I waited, but it was like, when she started yelling African American women are discriminating against me, that’s when I pulled out my phone.”
It was not clear from the footage why the woman thought she was being discriminated against.
Grady said the•ordeal stretched for about 45 minutes, though the video captures only part of the woman’s rant. •The video does not show the initial confrontation, but Grady said the woman was angry about a reusable bag.
When•a part-time manager came to assist, the woman “went off” on her, Grady said.
At one point in the video clip, the woman is seen confronting Grady about her camera.
“I don’t know what you think you’re videoing, lady,” she says. “I don’t know what you think you’re videoing. I was just discriminated against by two black women. And you being a white woman, you literally thinking that that’s okay, you standing there with your baby thinking that’s okay? I don’t know what you’re videoing.”
“When she started spinning out of control was when white people didn’t stand up for her,” Grady said by phone. “Because if you see in the video, her total demeanor, even though she’s insulting me, her total demeanor changes when she’s speaking to me, as opposed to the African American employees. She was still looking for an ally in me, even though she is shouting at me.”[/QUOTE]
[B]Apparently she was mad because of a plastic bag and then started using racial slurs and yelling about trump :v:
It seems like the election is giving these people a little more confidence lately.[/B]

So it begins...You guys poke at the left protestors for being arrogant and obnoxious (which they kinda are)
Just you wait for the trumpets to be unleashed...
I am so tired of this racial divide. This recent election and BLM has brought it out even more. Now its bring out the crazy neo-Nazis and other such groups. And the sad part is its pushing people even further apart.
Why is identity politics a thing? Its literally giving legitimacy to racist because it makes everything about race or some other identifying characteristic.

You're saying you're tired of racial divides while at the same time blaming a group of people protesting preexisting racial divide for it
The fragility of the white ego is something else.

BLM isn't protesting preexisting divide. They're protesting police action that generally have nothing to do with race on the part of the police. But because the person the police were taking action against was black that then makes them relevant.

I know the left is about as bad when it comes to ridiculous shit like this. I was making a point since about a week after the election, stories about "Millennials bitching about Trump presidency" or reports about left "protestors" beating up trump protestors were running rampant across the news. You can't forget the other crazies in Trump's camp.

This is about as retarded as the term "Reverse racism"

"Black Lives Matter (BLM) is an international activist movement, originating in the African-American community, that campaigns against violence and systemic racism toward black people"
pretty sure the conditions they are protesting against are preexisting
but i do agree that a lot of the actions that some people take in the name of BLM is creating a further divide

White fragility is that thing where white (typically rich) people who have a crap-ton of privilege run into a small problem, like their food taking too long to get to them at a fast food joint, and they immediately become stressed like the world is out to get them, when in reality they've been catered to for most of the things in their life.
At least that's what I understand about it, I haven't done any deep research so I might be Totally Wrong.

Well, I look towards the actions of the group. And a lot of the deaths that gain media attention for being BLM supported turn out to be because someone spread some false information beforehand. Like the Michael Brown case, "hands up, don't shoot." It ultimately was just a fake witness saying crap. Though BLM really started with the Trayvon Martin, but the Michael Brown case was when "Black Lives Matter" became the slogan.

Where can I cash in my white privilege? I could use some right now.
Are Trump supporters going to be the next Vegans or something?
How do you spot a Trump supporter? You don't they'll freak out at the register and announce that they voted for Trump.

Its a misconception that race really has anything to do with an some action. If its a white person whining then its "white fragility," if its a black person whining then its historical oppression and justified. Even if both the white and black persons for this analogy have the same "privilege." A good example is the U Mass Concerned Students 1950. The "black leaders" of the group came from a very "privileged" household. Yet was protesting that as if blacks were still in shackles.
Its an attempt to invalidate someone's opinion or concerns about something because of their race (if "privileged whites"). Or elevate that person's opinion or concern because of race (if "oppressed blacks"). This kind of mentality is typical due to the stereotyping instinct in humans. We, as humans, like to try to simplify things. Even if those things aren't really simple. Because this really is textbook racism. But this type of thinking causes much greater divides. Because "white opinions" are ignored in favor of "black opinions." Which identity politics is helping bringing back racial segregation to this country (see BLM demands, CS1950 demands, colleges that actually made segregated housing specifically for blacks).

wow man ill tell the Appalachian whites, the poorest people in the US, about how they're considered weak due to the fact that rich people who happen to share the same skin color throw tantrums
This isn't an issue with white people, this is an issue with spoiled people. People who aren't white cannot be spoiled now?

Sorry, but your understanding of all of that is pretty horrible, and you peddling false information (Segregated housing? Please, show me, cause I can't find it) really doesn't help you make good points.
The reason that some Black student who comes from an upper segment of the black community can protest oppression of blacks is the same reason any white person could go and do the same. Or sorry, are people not supposed to do things in solidarity and to help other people? Is that against some sort of rule in "Protesting 101" or something?
Next up: No the point of that privilege shit isn't just to dismiss people's opinions. It's to say "Make sure your not being stupid and talking out of your ass," because believe it or not, people do that. Now, do people use it improperly sometimes and dismiss the views of other people or try to be exclusive? Yes, some people do. Some people are shit. Good thing that isn't most people and I can say I've only seen that in in real life on one occasion, and it was pretty quickly dismissed. So nah, it's not elevating or dismissing a person's view or point, it's saying make sure you aren't being stupid. A black person can still be wrong and a white person can be right.
Finally: Where the fuck do BLM's demands have anything towards bringing racial segregation back? Since when is supporting education funding, community revitalization, proper police training, decriminalization of things, demilitarization of police, etc the same as "racial segregation?" TIL, I guess.
This isn't to say that I think "white fragility" is a good term. I see what the term is trying to say (People in some position getting angry at the perceived or real erosion of that position), but I'd think there are better ways to say that same thing.

Second one of those seems to be refuted though, and that's what I saw initially when looking into it (As in it's open to everybody). Can't say much about the first one though, I'll have to look into it and see if it's similar to the second one or has something else about it, or if it is as-presented.

EDITING HERE:
Yeah, seems like the first one is also partially misleading in the claim. Read the thread and you'll see more about what it actually is. Not going to say I'm absolutely for these, but I don't see them as super problematic or as horrible as they are claimed to be.

Is reposting an image meme from ifunny really the best way to make a point?
One could say that certain protests on college campuses have strayed too far into protecting people, eroding the very freedoms that they are trying to protect, but nah let's post an image that simplifies the issue drastically.
