Well, St. Louis: What is going to be? Is "see something, say something" still a thing? Or are we just going to get rid of that, especially when the "something" involves black people?
Just a few days ago, St. Louis and the entire nation seemed ready to throw "see something, say something" under the bus. A white woman was walking her dog, returning to her downtown condo, when a black man came up behind her and tried to enter the condo common area without using or displaying his condo-issued key fob. "When I noticed an individual whom I did not know, my only intention was to follow the direction that I had been given by our condo association repeatedly," the hapless woman told the St. Louis Fox affiliate. "And that is to never allow access to any individual to anyone you do not know."
Residents have to use their key. So that is what she asked him to do. He refused, pushing her out of the way and walking past her to his condo.
To the black man, and to dozens and dozens of major media outlets that would soon swarm over the video he made, this story was proof positive of relentless white racism on display in St. Louis and everywhere, all the time, which explains everything.

Flash forward to one day later, about three hours outside St. Louis in Alton, Missouri. A black person was charged with killing an 87-year-old white guy named Eldon Williams, who on the day he died was still working as a real estate agent.
A white person called the police – before knowing about the death of Eldon Williams a short distance away – after finding the black person in his house. By the time the police showed up, Eldon Williams was found dead, and Donald Nelson was charged for the crime. Good call? Or rampant white racism?
The local chief of police had no problem answering that question, reminding local residents that if they see something suspicious, they should call police right away. It's not as if you are going to get fired from your job or anything like that, right?
This "call or no call" is now a national movement, with black activists and lawmakers and their white allies calling for criminal penalties for white people who call the police on black people for no reason whatsoever. Like the condo lady.
In the St. Louis region, so far, it is a tie: one for calling, one for not.
Let's go to New York City to break the logjam. There, even a cursory Google search finds more than a dozen examples of black people following women into their apartment buildings or condos by rushing in before the door locks behind them.
Even the reporter at the ABC affiliate in New York was able to figure that one out. In a recent story with the headline "Man charged after woman is assaulted in East Village elevator," on video we see events play out: a woman enters the lobby of her building, and a black man rushes in and sexually assaults her.
"Of course it is alarming," said the reporter as he interviewed the neighbors for their best ideas for staying safe. "You gotta watch out who you let in," said the first neighbor. "You never know who is behind you."
The building has a lot of security, said the reporter, but that did not stop several similar incidents from happening in the last year or so. "Of course residents are reminded that you should never hold the door open for someone you don't know."
Game. Set. Match.

So I guess that settles that.
...unless of course, they are black.
Obama’s legacy
The woman should get a stone, and prop the door open just a tad. Do it a few times, and let the issue go. Someone will get the message. Don’t rise to their bait.
“.....In the St. Louis region, so far, it is a tie: one for calling, one for not.” I wouldn’t call it a tie, one dead older white man, and .....
“There are those who will lambaste me as law-abiding but rest assured I am absolutely a criminal...”:
THAT is the message I get every time I bother to listen to the lyrics in hip-hop “music”.
Is it any wonder some people treat them as criminals..?
Yes, call.
I just read the article, regardless of my skin color and as a guy who works in IT who took the comptia security plus there is something called tailgating where someone goes into a secure area, following a person inside without using their access credentials in this case a key fob which is a no no especially if its a person you do not know, so in this case she did have a point, just my two cents.
Doormen always seemed like an outdated concept (outside of rich places) until those attacks in NYC; makes all the sense in the world now.
I had to sign multiple documents from both the building I work in and my employer that I would alert security anytime I see “tailgating”.
I can get fired if I don’t.

In the battle of protected classes this theme emerges every time. Black males as a class trump white females as a class. If a white male had attempted to tailgate, then recorded and pushed past her she’d be fine. The man in the St. Louis story played the race card and in a rush to judgment he damaged a life. Severely. Shame on him.
That attitude is ancient history. The race card has expired. They have moved on to the unsubstantiated sexual misconduct card now. Nobody is buying the color=victim crap anymore. Sure, there are pockets of resistance(fear), but even that is fading.
Obama, Waters and Holder’s legacy.
Of course she had a point: The other condo owner violated the rules. He just also happened to be black, which they’ve used as his excuse for doing so.
If I wasn’t so tired, I’d have a clever label for this BS...
On the contrary, things are getting worse. From flash mobs to assaulting restaurant and store employees, blacks are not expected to obey any rules. Politicians kowtow to the race hustlers because they are terrified of riots. To paraphrase the old saying, if you want to know who rules over you, look at those whom you are not allowed to criticize.
