White women like me, we need to talk (about not calling the police) [barf alert]
CNN ^ | Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner

Posted on 05/21/2018 7:31:43 AM PDT by simpson96

(CNN) — Did you hear about the white woman who called police in Memphis earlier this month because a black man who wanted to buy a house was trying to take a look at it first? What about the white people who called the police on black people simply for sleeping in their own dorm lounge at Yale, barbecuing at a park, shopping at Nordstrom Rack, waiting in a Starbucks or ... the list goes tragically on and on.

White women like me, we need to have a talk. Enough is enough and we need to make ourselves part of the solution. You. Me. The woman next to you in the grocery store line, at the bus stop or on the soccer field. The writing is on the wall. We've got to stand up and speak out because right now, we're part of the problem.

I have some thoughts on how we can do it:

(snip)

1. Stop calling the police on black people simply for living

(snip)

2. Remind friends who look like you that white women experience far less discrimination than women of color

(snip)

3. Follow and support women of color

At least she made the distinction between white women like her and the majority of white women not like her.

Stop putting people into categories based on external characteristics and assuming they all think alike.
Then shut up.

Typical leftist mob mentality - She’s not using logic or reasoning, she’s using peer pressure.

“3. Follow and support women of color “

Which really means African American women——not women from India or Japan.

I have been mugged, assaulted, threatened, attacked with bodily harm to myself and husband in L.A., Oakland, Chi, NOLA, NYC, Philly, by black thugs. A lot of us are sick of this. My husband, in NOLA, knocked a lot of teeth out, which was beautiful. He carries here in our area. God help anybody that pulls that crap on him here.

The woman who called the cops on the black family BBQing was a global warming environmental professor, hardcore leftie, yet her fellow leftists blamed her actions on Trump.

You need to use your brain. You already talk too much.

Re: 12

Thanks. This was one of the lead news items yesterday (in the Bay Area). They never breathed a word about that aspect of the call. I.e., the caller probably more offended by ‘global warming’ causing BBQs, than anything else.

And don’t call 911 if the responding police officer is a Somali Muslim who will shoot you dead.

“Stop calling the police on black people simply for living”

She is trying to strong-arm and shame and apply peer-pressure to get people to do what she wants. The aggressiveness of that statement disqualifies her from being taken seriously.

Female crime vics who are women of color are more likely to be victimized by perps who are the same color. Not calling the cops on these perps makes it more likely the perps will be around to victimize women of color.

How in Hades does not calling the cops help women of color!?!

"...I’m just here for the best water-safety tips..."

I see you found the only value in a sea of chaff!

Note: it is a dude that is the sole provider of value, so I am clutching my pearls and thinking of vagina hats. This trauma will pass.

If there were far fewer incidences of black criminal behavior, it could be attributed to racism rather than self-preservation.
