That dinosaur better watch out for the car in that picture, he may actually walk into it and get "oppressed" by it.

Then he can demand the driver acknowledges his white male privilege, and apologize for running him over.

So HUR actually went out and made a black friend. Glad to know my words on TWW have motivated him to embrace diversity.

JCE2011 sorry you feel like a white victim.

I feel as if HUR should be required to disclose to his new melanin-packed buddy that he s the subject whenever HUR says "I know black people, and...."

Just another uppity one. If you aren't doing anything wrong you shouldn't mind. HUR has probably been similarly harassed at his apartment.

11/18/2015 3:40:56 PM

Sending 19 cops to one house is so racist!

Except wait, they thought it was a Mexican male breaking in when they dispatched 19 to search for him. So racist!

11/18/2015 3:53:10 PM

Good point, Hispanics aren't minorities. And the cops couldn't tell she wasn't Hispanic when they got there.

11/18/2015 3:55:55 PM

That's why they asked who else was in the house.

LMAO. So much "trauma" from a cop asking who else was in the house. That entire article is garbage. Absolutely zero evidence of race-based misconduct. It is really a pathetic use of the racecard and an insult to people that actually deal with racism. Fucking liberal media. Why do you brain-dead liberals have to share such shitty clickbait articles.

How is dispatching a large number of cops racist?

You're acting as if once the cops were told it was a black lady, they dispatched all units to intentionally harass her. If you actually read that garbage article, you will see there is actually nothing race-based about it from the police force.

11/18/2015 4:07:14 PM

Holy fuck. The mere fact that someone called the cops on her in the first place because she wasn't like them is the whole point. Then the over the top response... and only then the treating of her like a sub-human.

Jesus man. The fact that no one is calling the cops on me or you in a similar situation is the whole point.

Perhaps because "potentially racist neighbor thinks someone messing with a lock is breaking into a house" doesn't generate enough clicks?

11/18/2015 4:26:15 PM

11/18/2015 4:30:18 PM

It blows my mind someone can't accept that biases exist and that groups of people justifiably feel marginalized.

How can we even have a discussion on ways to correct that when people refuse to even believe it exists. This has nothing to do with liberal/conservative or political party even. You can acknowledge it exists and still have different views on how to tackle it.

It's akin to someone having a conversation on how to handle ISIS and one side claiming the group doesn't exist.

11/18/2015 4:34:02 PM

Sorry I don't treat liberal white-guilt articles as gospel. TWW isn't a liberal echo-chamber yet, go post your HuffingtonPost filth somewhere else.


Here is the breakdown of events:
-Neighbor called the cops because someone they didn't recognize was messing with a lock
-Cops got a call about a burglary, showed up in force
-They realized it wasn't the case and left
-Woman claims she was traumatized and had her life ruined and is a victim because she is black

Sorry to say, there is ZERO evidence that ANYTHING was based off her being black. Worst thing you can claim is inappropriate police entering and searching her home, which isn't an issue of racism, no matter what spin a liberal "journalist" puts on it.

This is fucking bullshit and you know this. You/I/Anyone would be pissed if a neighbor broke into our house and choose to do nothing. I suppose
the neighbor should have only called the cops had they thought that a potential burgler was white since if they were a minority then it would be racist
and not PC to think that someone could be breaking in. Unfortuantly in LA due to socio-economic reasons a lot of robberies are committed by minorities.
Even if this created a slight bias in the neighbor who assumed the worst (in this case that it was someone breaking in) there actions were meant with good intentions.

The only real problem I see is the overreaction of the police and failing to promptly back down after the owner asserted that it was her residence. I see
this as part of the whole power-tripping police, police brutality issue and not mean racist police wanting to harass brown people

Pretty much this. We are all entitled to our own opinions and beliefs, but not our own sets of facts. The most annoying part with dealing with ANY type of extremist group (Fundamentalist Christians, climate change deniers, militant gun nuts, anti-vaxxers, vegans, CrossFitters, etc), is that they'll derail any attempt at a two way conversation by substituting their beliefs for facts. Drives me nuts.

11/18/2015 8:11:54 PM

^ What about BLM types who interpret any slight against them or anything negative done to them by a non African-American as being the result of the offending party being racist or not liking black people?

I'm sure many have dealt with real racial issues but for the most part a lot of the major complaints they have are over issues that are a lot more complex and affect people of all colors and is not the result of [insert person or organization] being racist against Blacks

11/18/2015 8:35:12 PM

I don't think you 'get' BLM. I mean, I'm not even sure I get it completely, but I can at the very least appreciatewhere they're coming from. I think being able to understand different groups of people comes from having some of them close to you in your own life. I'm not going to sit there and say I have a ton of black friends, but I do have a few that are very close to me, and I've been lucky to learn a lot from them about life, and how relatively easy I've had it at times. I had several black roommates in college and grad school and I also think it really gave me a ton of insight into a culture that I thought I knew. I honestly still don't know much. But what I do know is that it's lot more complicated than I initially thought. I'm not going to pretend I'm some ambassador for the Black community, but I think even understanding just a little about their experience and place in society is a million times better where I was before.

I literally just listed the set of known facts in my post.

When you filter out all the self-pitying victim narrative nonsense, the facts show there is nothing that happened to her based on her being black. Just like Johnathan Butler wasn't "oppressed".

But hey, the racist white men that beat her and call her the N-word in her nightmares sure do sound racist. Dreams and nightmares sure are hard evidence, maybe the Mizzou protestors could use that as evidence of "Oppression" too? If there isn't any oppression, sometimes you have to make it up, like by jumping into a car or referencing dreams.

I mean if I lock myself out of my house and am trying to find a way in and one of my neighbors who doesn't know me sees me trying to break in and calls the cops I am not gonna be pissed or traumatized. If anything I would thank them for actually noticing something like that and calling the cops. Now, to also be fair, if 19 cop cars rolled up I would be thinking to myself WTF guys!

I'm guessing she was trying to get into the apartment before the lock smith or it was not obvious the locksmith was not a crook.

11/19/2015 12:35:28 PM

Black is not the only minority.

And for what it's worth the Princeton thing is a joke...

Why does the bias exist? I guarantee that if you were to get mugged or have your car broken into in LA the odds would be that the perpetrator would not be white. This is not the result of skin color however, but a result of socio-economic conditions and in some circumstances culture (thug culture) that is popularized.

Her irrational fear of blacks (aka racism) caused her logical reasoning to shut down, and she ignored the locksmith and other rational explanations why someone would be trying to get in to their own apartment through the front door. Just like fear from the Paris bombings shutdown peoples' brains when it comes to thinking about refugees.

Dude you are ridiculous, wonder if you truly believe this or are trolling.

If someone had really broken into her house, that the neighbor witnessed I bet she would have claimed racism that the neighbor DIDN'T call the cops because she resident was black and this the privileged white neighbor didn't care enough about her to pick up the phone.

When you live somewhere with a major population on under-privileged minorities that do commit a large proportion of the property crimes ( due to socioeconomics ) I don't see how one wouldn't at least be a little more suspicious. I'm don't know if those was really the case for the neighbor in this story.

^^ how do you think racism works exactly...? Do you think all racists put up wavy inflatable arm men to indicate their motivations?

You have an educated upper class black woman, calling a professional locksmithing service because she was locked out of her house, she wasn't kicking the door in, climbing through a window, jimmying it with a crowbar, etc., have 19 cops show up to her neighborhood because a neighbor assumed the most normal way to get into your apartment when locked out was someone breaking in. This is not a normal reaction.

Either the person who called the cops was a completely brain damaged idiot for not realizing what was going on, or something else kicked in to cause irrational fear to set in.

Funny how zero evidence is needed to convince liberals a minority was victimized by racism.

Funnier how if there was, hypothetically, any racism at all, it was on the part of 1 neighbor, and it wasn't even anti-black racism as the sob-story would suggest... if anything a neighbor assumed a Mexican locksmith was breaking into the house and called the cops.

It's sad how shamelessly these articles try and create a false-narrative of racism with zero support or evidence, and even sadder how most liberals apparently lack the reading comprehension skills and basic cognitive function necessary to separate narrative from actual racism.

I said her race, her “being black”. She was mentioning Mike Brown, and people calling her the N-word in her nightmares. She was claiming she was traumatized "because she was black".

In reality, the neighbor saw a Hispanic "professional locksmith", aka a Hispanic in regular clothes, hitting a lock with tools. He said on the call "I don't think this is a crazy robbery but he doesn't have keys and I need a few cops over here".

Of course not. Liberalism doesn't touch black on black "issues" (except indirectly when they reference gun violence numbers).

Liberalism wants minority victims to defend from evil racist society, but since the year is 2015 as you can tell they are really struggling to show actual examples of "oppression", hence having to resort to "nightmares", "poop swastikas", criminal "martyrs", and jumping into parked cars.
