Oh look, a little black girl is selling bottled water...I think I should call the cops on her.

What an asshole.

Absolutely racially motivated. Little white girl? This lady wouldn't have thought twice.

Zero doubt.

I said it in the other thread. It feels staged. 8 seconds of video also doesn't provide a lot of context, what was edited out?

Should have called from inside her apt if it was bugging her so much.

Not everything is a court of law. GoldenJet's inference is reasonable.

Reasonable based on what?

Based on the fact that this is uncommon(although as someone who follows LP news it does happen) and that if you’re this much of a colossal bitch it’s reasonable to infer that you hold other irrational views.

I don't think it is reasonable to assume that all raging assholes are racist. You're just saying they're related because it sounds good for about a microsecond.

And you're putting up a specious defense because it's your skit.

No. I’m consistent on this. When I see an adult of one race acting outwardly emotional and hostile towards a child of another race and the action is completely irrational I believe it’s fair to speculate on motivation, and racism is probably more common than being a psychopath.

To be clear, I’m not saying she’s for sure a racist. I’m saying it’s a fair to inhere that based on her actions. I know you disagree, and it’s one of the things you and I will keep disagreeing about.

So what is her motivation when she is a colossal bitch to white people, or do you think she's only this way with black people?

My guess is she’s a bitch to all races but most likely reserves outright hostile actions like this for children or people of other races. I don’t know that to be true, and I don’t care either way because this isn’t a court of law and our opinions are irrelevant.

The point is that someone can reasonable infer that from her actions. I know you disagree, and I think it’s something you are irrationally defensive about.

I think that makes the inference of racism unreasonable.

"Yeah, she's that way with everyone, but when she does it to a racial minority it's because of the color of that person's skin" is unreasonable.

And yes, how irrational of me to ask for proof of claims of racial bias, and then question when people claim as reasonable positions that end up not being all that objectively reasonable, like above.

Please read my entire response next time before responding. It'll save you embarrassing responses like this. Thanks.

Also, if you don't know that asking for proof of racial bias in this thread is irrational than thank you for making my point.

K.

I did, I cut out the irrelevant bits.

This leads me to believe you don't know what irrelevent means. You're having a rough thread my friend. Maybe try again in the morning.

I find this thread interesting. JLN and WFR are by far the two biggest “white people are basically never racist” posters here and WFR specifically said his definition of racism would need to include actively trying to harm a minority. So yes, if she was a bitch to all races but reserved calling the police on innocuous actions to minority kids, that would qualify - and make it relevant.

The other thing you should understand JLN is that most of us aren’t wannabe lawyers and this isn’t a court of law. I don’t need to prove anything. All I’m saying is that I think GoldenJet’s inference is reasonable.. You being the “it’s never racism” guy that you are, of course you disagree. That’s it. We aren’t going to agree on this.

so now we've entered the phase where you deflect and claim victory. Bleh.

Do better. Log off. Better luck next time. Try harder. The board has spoken. You're having a rough night. Am I winning yet?

_________________

I’m not deflecting. You’re literally entering the realm of nonsensical so that’s the best response I can make.

I didn’t claim victory and there’s no need to. This exchange is here for everyone to read and decide themselves.

Piiiiiissssss off. I've already played "Prove You've Called Things Racist" with LTG. Fuck you for trying to go there with that.

All you said was "I think she only calls the cops on black people" with absolutely no evidence to justify THAT claim, which you then used to justify your claim that the inference of racial bias was reasonable. You just kicked the can of substantiated claims down the road a bit further and proclaimed victory.

FF, is this a "reasonable inference" or a "definitive" claim?

Shove your attitude you half-wit.

I never proclaimed victory. I believe you’re struggling very much in this thread and said as much.

As to the first part of your post, if you don’t realize you’re one of the top deniers of any possible racial motivation for any type of incident ever posted here than you have less self awareness than most. It’s not “trying to go there”. It’s simply responding to your posting history. It’s the same as calling good dolphin a White Sox fan.
