More entitled white woman problems.

[Aristocatt]

The only people dying on a hill RE Floyd/BLM etc are the sheeple who go along with the handwringing "endemic appalling ruinous systemic racism narrative" due to their, well, let me put it this way, again: the only people who think the killing of George Floyd was racist are racists.

I'll read the linked journal article tomorrow probs, bedtime for me now, thanks for supplying an indepth source.

The racial stereotyping by the woman in the OP, if indeed it occurred, is to be understood as being a contributing factor in her actions, but I very much doubt that was the only factor. We shall see.

It depends what the action is. If she'd assaulted him for no reason, then things would be different. As it is it seems pretty flaming obvious that she genuinely believed he'd stolen her phone, for whatever reasons. It is far from conclusive that "race" played any role at all, as is the case, at risk of repeating myself, with George Floyd.

I must just add that, as with life in general, call a man a thief and he becomes a thief - so to denote society riddled with deep seated racism (I'm not denying there's a bit), especially where that is not firmly born out by the evidence, seems EXTREMELY unwise. Am I the only one who has noticed a decline in racial harmony since BLM really took off? I doubt it.

I think there is room here for me having misunderstood your original post(If I did I apologize)...

Do you think that if the red highlighted portion is true, that even if she had other reasons for thinking it was him, that this would be seriously problematic?  If so, would you go as far as to call it racist?
Here is an example...The woman saw the boy take the phone.  She then approached him and said "Hey you took my phone...I know this because I watched you walk up to the table it was sitting on and take it, also I know for a fact that 15% of people with your skin color commit 40% of the most serious crimes.  With those two pieces of knowledge in mind, I know you took my phone"
Basically all I am asking for here, is if regardless of the other possible reasons you could come up with, does the highlighted portion of your post seem problematic/racist to you?

Or do you think there is a world where approaching and accusing someone of stealing your phone because "15% of people that have particular skin color commit 40% of the most serious crimes" is a reasonable inference to draw?
