Media Race Incident

[Jason Harvestdancer]

Here's an interesting story. Really, considering how it was initially billed as "white woman calls police on black woman" I'm surprised Underseer missed this one, as he really enjoys it when the cops get called on minorities.

But there was a twist. The woman who had the cops called on her was not black. The woman who called the cops was not white. They were both hispanic. After the media frenzy died down, stories were edited without notice to read "woman calls cops on woman".

When it was still a racial issue, people were comparing this woman to Permit Patty and Barbecue Becky and saying that calling the cops was White Privilege. The internet SJW hate mob was unleashed.

To make matters more interesting, the woman who called the cops is autistic, paranoid, and actually trying to make someone leave her doorway and actually call the cops were both her attempts to actually communicate with the outside world.

How The Media Fueled Yet Another Racism Hoax, And Ruined The Life Of An Autistic Woman In The Process

At first, it appeared to be just another story about a white person calling the cops on a black person over the summer — a supposedly racially motivated phone call to the police that caught international attention out of hundreds of others.

Stories of police arriving to scenes across the United States to find black people committing “crimes” of barbequing, sleeping in a university dorm common room or selling water bottles were taking over the media. With each story, a white person made the phone call, and each caller was given a memorable nickname. In this case, the caller was named “Doorway Debbie.”

On a midsummer day in July, Darsell Obregon ducked under an apartment building to shelter herself from the rain while waiting for an Uber. Minutes later, the front door swung open and out walked a 19-year-old girl who demanded that Obregon leave the premises immediately. The resident’s name is Arabelle Torres, a 19-year-old student at Brooklyn College who also has autism.

“I came downstairs and a woman was standing as I am right now and wouldn’t leave,” Torres, who was describing the seeds of events that led her life to change, said to me while standing outside of her home in Park Slope. What might have been an unremarkable high-strung incident that occurs hundreds of times a day in New York City, ended up becoming a fake news story that race-baited an incident without credible evidence of bigotry.

“Hey, ma’am, this is private property. Could you please move?” Torres recounts saying to Obregon, an assistant to fashion model Ashley Graham, who “just flat-out refused” to leave the premises.

“After about ten times of me saying, ‘Ma’am, go. This is private property,’ [Obregon] still refused. So I called the cops,” Torres said. “As a person with autism, I [was] scared. When somebody is blocking me from leaving … it is a big problem. And I was alone in that situation.”

As Torres dialed 911, Obregon whipped out her phone and began filming. Later that evening — Torres was at a Broadway show — the words “worthless skank” popped up on her phone. As dozens more messages poured in, she found out that Obregon had posted the exchange on social media accounts accompanied with hashtags associated with race-related events (even though Obregon is not black).

Autistic hispanic woman calls cops on trespassing hispanic woman (although she did have an excuse for being the doorway), and that means white people oppress black people.

So Hispanic is a race again.

In the Oppression Olympics, it is situational - the darker person is the Oppression Winner. Therefore when it is an altercation between a White and a Hispanic, the Hispanic is most certainly not white. But if it is an altercation between a Hispanic and a Black, the Hispanic person turns white.

That's what White Privilege is all about.

So Hispanic is now a race again? Also, why is this so important to you?

The news media sensationalizes stuff. That's capitalism for you. The sensationalism is even niche sensationalism. So, every group has their own crazy spin-offs of things, including that this is some kind of crisis to you about the media from stories from YOUR media. Oh noes! The horrors.

At Rally for Jazmine Barnes, an Outpouring of Grief and a Plea for Answers

HOUSTON — Relatives of Jazmine Barnes, the 7-year-old Texas girl who was fatally shot inside a moving car, grieved on Saturday at an emotionally charged rally not far from where the gunman opened fire on a family that was out on a morning coffee run.

Nearly 1,000 people gathered to honor Jazmine and to urge law enforcement to find the man who the police said attacked on Dec. 30 without provocation.

Jazmine, who was black, was in the car with her mother and three sisters when a white man pulled his red pickup truck beside them and began shooting, the police said. A bullet struck Jazmine in the head and she died at the scene, the police said. The gunman was described as a man in his 30s or 40s wearing a hooded sweatshirt.

Multiple sources say black man in custody in Jazmine Barnes case

Multiple sources tell FOX 26 News that a suspect is in custody in the shooting death of 7-year-old Jazmine Barnes, along with a possible second suspect. Sources say the alleged shooter is black, not white, and also that the shooting may have been gang-related.

Ironically, "40 year old white male with a beard" is not a bad description of Shaun "Talcum X" King ...

 

[thebeave]

Heh. Shaun King and Rachel Dolezal should get together. They would have such beautiful black white babies.

I have to admit I kinda wish Underseer would have done his usual schtick on these two "white racist" events. The old "Guess what the perpetrator's race was! Go on, guess!", followed by his slow walk of shame out of the thread when its revealed that white people had nothing to do with the incident. Always brought a little much needed levity to the Political Discussions forum.

So Hispanic is a race again.

My first thought, too

I wonder why Jason is complaining about this. Shouldn't he be celebrating this as Libertarian freedom?

I think this falls in the category of Duh!

Drive-by shootings aren't about race, they're about gangs. Occasionally a target is misidentified but most of the innocents who die were in the presence of gangbangers.

It essentially works like a race for the purposes of categorization on the social-justice left.

Of course, reasonable people on both sides understand it's not really a race, it is a cultural-linguistic category, that applies at the scale of continents. A person can be "Hispanic" and look like practically any folk-racial grouping you can come up with.

 

[Derec]

So Hispanic is now a race again?

It depends. In the context of the Z vs. Trayvon Deathmatch, it was not considered a race, as media insisted Z was white.

But when it comes to racial preferences or defending illegal immigration, they suddenly become a race. Funny that.

 

[Derec]

So about the Jazmine Barnes case, was the misidentification of the suspect by the family due to implicit bias or was it deliberate to get more media attention. Because the media will just eat up "white kills black" stories while they shrug at most black on black or even black on white crime.

Neither of the actual suspects look anything like the composite sketch.

Z's father is white. Z's mother is hispanic mixed race: african and or native american plus a lot of white. Therefore alt-right beta cucks called him non-white hispanic.

Notice Derec's phrases: misidentification of the suspact...the actual suspect. Suspect has to mean perpetrator in that usage. Jess saying...

"Jess[sic] saying" what exactly? Do you maybe still think whitey did it?

I didn't see a freedom of speech or press issue here. I saw a press issue, but not freedom of the press issue.
