Consider that when I fought for custody of my Daughter and won, I was one of a hand full oof men who had ben able to do it in this state..perception has become dangerous in this environment
So, this is wrong. But I get El Prez's point. Here is the key and where both parties could have made a better decision. First, the lady is just assuming the racial differences are questionable without any regard to behavior or posture. It is one thing to start to question if they are sullen looking and unhappy and if he seems to want to have a hand on them so as they wont run, type of thing. But per the article, they were laughing and joking and having fun. Kids in danger don't do that and she should have dismissed it right then and there. So, she is wrong to even confront. However once confronted, the babysitter could have disolved the situation within seconds. Yes. I cant imagine how deep it sits when someone becomes a victim of this type of racial bias, or any racial bias for that matter. It wont go away though. As sad as it is, it wont go away without turning the other cheek. I'm not saying ignore, but treating those filled with racial hatred, with pure kindness. This is tough I know. Im a victim of feeling hatred towards those who exert bigotry like this. My best friend is a minority and so I have witnessed it up close. I watched a cop target him for no reason and set him up. With that said, the babysitters reaction fueled the fire. We need to figure out how to put the fire out, not add to it. Once he showed that standoffishness he became suspect.
He doesn't owe her anything more than a "fuck off" is the issue. Would you explain yourself to some nosey lady in a parking lot? There's about a zero percent chance I would.
Luckily white women are never just plain old nutty. That proves she must be a regular old racist. Oh wait...
She saw nothing. A guy with kids...happy laughing kids...she's nosy and nutty if not racist. If the kids were crying, in duress, being shoved into the car or something. No, happy kids having some subway with their babysitter. People need to not make assumptions. They could have been his adopted kids. Etc. Etc.
Other people said he looked suspicious. Child abduction is real. Its better to report suspicious people, especially if they are defensive. It seems she was being polite and a good citizen.
I was at the gym earlier. There's a see something say something sign in the locker room. If I see any guy throw a paper towel on the floor or something similar I think I'll rat him out. Hope the first one I see is white. I also hope people don't notice me looking at them in the men's locker room.
@EL PRESIDENTE would call the police on me if he saw me holding my nephew's hand while crossing the street because that looks "suspicious" .... Newsflash: Black people are smart enough to know WTF happens to us if we harm a white child... I really wanna curse you out right now but it's against forum rules... Instead I'll just leave this right here...
Can she be 100% and not be a racist nut job? I had a neighbor come talk to my wife concerned that we had our 8y/o and 7y/o riding bikes unsupervised down the cul-de-sac in front of our house, which is in a dead-end development. At least she came to talk to us...many people are going straight to 911 or CPS. That makes them people making bad decisions in their nosy life, and while there's a non-zero chance that she hates black people, I think it's non-zero that she's just a tattler and not the brightest upstairs.
Think about this for a sec... That's a sign created by a tenet created by the police. Police see their partners do crooked shit everyday and don't say anything...
This is why this shits gonna continue to happen... Why did it look suspicious? Does my picture above look suspicious?
