If you have to ask what that means, it means you are tone deaf to inequality. Those officers were extremely patient with her. Odds are if that were a black woman, they would have not been so patient.
There really is such a thing as white anxiety and fear of changing demographics, and that stems from our changing demographic.
In our entire species history, worldwide, majorities don't like their social pecking orders upset. America has had a long history of whites fearing change. That isn't saying all whites fear change, but in just that our history as a nation has had countless points in history where whites fear change. Whites in American history, not only condoned slavery, they condoned lynchings, and resisted the Civil Rights movement. Even in this era, the former guy spent his campaign vilifying African American sports stars, African American politicians, and calling Charlottesville bigots "good people".
But African Americans in our nation's history have not been the only target of discrimination and abuse. Andrew Jackson commited genocide on Native Americans with his "Trail of Tears". America has also had points in history of anti Semitism. Including chants of Charlottesville bigots shouting "Jews will not replace us", while others showed up with KKK and Nazi symbols. America also had anti Chinese imigration laws, and interned hundreds of thousands of innocent Japanese familes during WW2.
That white lady brought up race in that video, trying to use the bullshit "reverse racism" trope. That ignorance is the very definition of "self intitlement".
Minorities in America don't want special rights, they just want to be treated equally. That lady's tantrum in claiming it was her God given right to shop there, which is a private business, which has the right to refuse service, is a claim to self intitlement. That lady wasn't Rosa Parks sitting at the front of the bus. She wasn't African American men sitting at a lunch counter. Those historical acts of civil disobedience were a fight for equality. That white lady simply threw a fit because someone told her no. That is not the same as what African Americans have done and still in fighting for equality.
Nice way of missing the point. It's "entitled".
Mighty fucking illiterate for a guy who claims to be skilled in words, and wordplay.
Sad, huh??
