Not even going to say what I've had done after her 'c'mere little boy, c'mere little boy' remark, esp. after the 'bird' in my face, plus the 'rapists and drug dealers and animals' crap.

with a schedule of when to attack POC?

Because it seems an awful lot of white women are attacking people of color lately.

I'm just wondering if they all talk online and decided to act out their favorite racist fantasies of confrontation?

Becky gets the BBQ.

Patty with her permit.

Paula at the Pool.

And the idiot in the video.

WTF?

going on with these "ladies". It's like how within an abused family sometimes the abuse can go from the father to the mother to children or children to weaker/smaller children.

Based on how garbage these men on the right are. I have no doubt they treat their partners like shit. With the climate the way it is these women (racist ass trash that they are) are deciding they have somebody they can act out towards. The gop and this administration ins particular has given the go ahead to act a racist fool and the racist ass white women are taking full advantage of it

No excuses for them at all because a piece of shit is a piece of shit, it stinks and should be flushed. However, it could explain in some part why there it seems like a racist dam bursting someplace and there is a new story of some stocky scowl faced white woman using a proxy bullwhip for completely innocuous happenings almost daily.

Still, not an excuse, as you said.

The need to feel powerful/reclaim power when you've been beaten down and they turn it into a negative. Tearing someone else down instead of learning a better way.

You'd think they'd learn the right lesson - you don't like it so don't do it to other people.

I tend to think they're just racist assholes.

some people like to 'punch down' or pay it forward knowing they won't face any consequences. So if the patriarchy has oppressed them, they look for someone to oppress. Knowing that if the minority male doesn't want to take her abuse quietly, she can always claim that she feared for her life and shoot him or call the police to shoot him.

they're conditioned and think it "works" to behave like that.

In their world - for it to make sense - they think that's the right way to behave. They live with that type of patriarchy, and unless they chose to get out of it the system "works".

It's extending the behavior to others like a "good person" should. I bet they go home and talk "endlessly" how they schooled the "brown person". All to nods and 'yup, yup, yup'

the net. You know, because she's so proud of her position, we should spread her name around.

I am so ashamed of my race lately. I don't understand what is up with all these white women lately. Why they are so filled with hatred. I am a white woman and I feel just the opposite. I am appalled by her behavior. I hope she is publicly shamed, as that seems to be the only thing that makes people like this regret what they have done.

As our Ferret (a.k.a. Shower Cap) calls them. I do not understand how they can live with themselves. I do accept that there are hate yokels in our country, and that I cannot fix them (including the grifter-in-chief).

Our best bet is to be courteous, not take shit, and show what we are FOR. Think big, be positive, and persist.
