Racism? Or Drunk? Or Both? You decide.

» 12 November 2010 »

This video was linked to my FB page from Color Lines and I’m not sure how to handle it…

There’s more…

This is sort of magical. Not in a rainbow covered in ice cream type of way or a “I will avenge the death of Dumbledore!” type of way. It’s magical because you’re watching the mental breakdown of someone who has no clue what to do or say in the situation. It’s not even a clear racist attack. It’s an attack that uses racism as a crutch to express rage. She’s using racist logic from the early 80′s and 90′s! Up your racism game. If you’re going to start being ridiculously racist pull out that Health Care Reform is a crazy attempt to give black people reparations. That White people soon won’t even be able to vote and that we’re gonna take their money and give it to minorities. Don’t drop this “Blacks IQ’s are lower….”

At first I assumed this was just an example of Racism Gone Wild but I’m starting to think that the woman had to be drunk. No one can possibly think this is a reasonable response right?  According to the video’s description the postal worker was fired. And? Color Lines found a blog supposedly by someone related to the woman in the video who defends what happens.

I’m assuming the blog is a joke. It has to be. I’d like my Friday to to not completely suck and thinking that someone is defending this nonsense would completely ruin it.

    The word on this particular woman is that she is mentally ill. I dont know how accurate that is, but it certainly seems like she aint all there.

    I’m not buying drunk and I’m not buying mentally ill.

    White. Supremacist. PERIOD.

    She does seem out of her mind. Hate is one thing but she wasn’t even connecting her hate right. She was literally taking bits of racism and trying to make a coherent sentence to hurt the guy. After the initial horrible shock its laughable really…

    Racism. I’ve worked with many people in need of counseling and they don’t randomly spew ugly words. She knew what she was saying when she was saying it; if you want proof go back and watch it again. She doesn’t RANDOMLY call him that-she uses the word when he won’t go along with what she wants. Is she mentally ill? Who knows. But she IS aware of the power of the word and that’s why she keeps using it at specific points in the vid. Still wondering how anyone is still surprised by these things in 2010, but ok….

    Woman forgives postal worker for being calm and professional in the face of racial slurs, death threats, and physical assault. #SinceBushForgaveKanye

    Seriously, though, her on-camera interaction with this guy is racist from start to finish. She starts out demanding the letter back, and threatening to have her police-officer neighbor arrest him and throw him in prison for the rest of his life—so either she believes in the existence of institutional racism, or believes that he does. She also threatens to send the Black Legion/KKK/Aryan Nations/Tea Party after him if she doesn’t get her receipt back.

    It’s obviously possible that Drunk and Crazy got together and let Racist out, but it’s also possible she simply had no frame of reference for treating a black civil servant with a detectable accent as a human being.

    As to her dated tropes, I assume that was the fashionable way to be racist the last time she lived somewhere fashionable.
