I've come to suspect every single story about some transaction against a black person.....I immediately wonder if its untrue or a hoax...

this is what happens when you take advantage of people's good will and pull off these ridiculous accusations....

You seem never to have been falsely accused. You are indeed fortunate.

Do you remember how Kavanaugh was criticized for sounding angry when those false accusations were leveled against him? Look at Trump and all the people snapping at his heels.

Three other people came forward saying the man in the park had behaved similarly to them.

This woman will never be able to get her life back because she will never be able to speak in a way and with the words that will accord with the standards of people like you, because there is simply no way to do it.

I have been. I don’t think that anyone escapes it.

Those cancel culture bullies are wrong and way out of line.

However, it sure seems like she’s dealing with other baggage in her life. It’s just the sense I got from the whole tone of the article.

“You are a slender female & there’s a big black dude harassing you. Are you sure you feel safe just “walking away” or will he come up behind you & do something?”

Yes, I’d walk away immediately and quickly! Distance is everything in that situation. I can walk and look back every few seconds, and I can hear, and my dog will warn me by reacting. Walk away, run away, don’t stand there arguing with a nut when no one else is around!

She said she had other “baggage,” having been sexually assaulted.

And everyone has baggage.

If she is only coming out with this now, maybe the parent she was caring for recently died and she now feels free to fight.

But now we are just speculating, on the basis of personal impressions and what might be, so I think there is not much more to be said.

Notice anything with the following?

"but they don't want to come forward because they are white, and Christian is Black.


Keep on going a little further, and here's another 'fact' she throws out. Same thing happened to her, yet she still follows the immediate media story on other people:

Especially considering the encounter occurred on the same day a police officer murdered George Floyd.
