She didn’t do herself any favors yelling racial slurs. I definitely don’t like how much of the context is missing from this whole thing, though.
ETA: can you provide documentation about the restraining order bit?
I was led to believe I was at a Deen family function.
You say tomato, I say fried green tomatoes in butter sauce and cream…

I think you might want to check out this guy’s recent history.
This video is nothing like that woman in central park, where she was clearly the aggressor and clearly deserved to lose her job.
This guy is a serial baiter, has a restraining order on him against another woman, and is now selling T-shirts about his trauma.
There’s clearly lots of despicable racists out there, but this is turning into a witch hunt.
Sources, please?

I hate it that there are people who will happily use this incident as “proof” that all racism is just POC ‘playing the race card.’
There are always outliers, but the reality is this shit happens for real, all day every day to Black people in America in every state.
One fake doesn’t negate thousands of real incidents.
Don’t feed the gloating concern troll; there are too many horrible incidents which are 100 legit.

No, it’s not. The entire discussion was predicated on the accusations of her calling him the N-word being born out. That discussion of racism stands.
No one was burned at the stake. What did happen is that a kapo Trumpist was swiftly discovered.

And while no one asked for any material consequences against the woman other than penitence even had the accusations been borne out. You’ll find that a lot of people want kapos to actually have their lives ruined.

Forget haters; this guy has just burned himself with the Black community just like Jussie Smollet.
People who only make it even harder for us through their conscious actions are just as bad our adversaries.

What part of:
…is confusing?
Are you bothered that I used the word assuming instead of provided despite the fact that there was no reason for me to include that phrase at all other than to indicate a conditional?

Wait, explain how anything he did makes him a valid target for bigotry?
Because otherwise you’re saying “Racism is ok because this guy appears to be an asshole”. You get that, right?

I’m not saying he is a valid target for bigotry.
I didn’t see the bit of the video where she used racial slurs, but I would never support anyone who does that.
I’m saying it’s bit rich to focus on that when the woman has been stalked home and frightened to hysteria.
It dawns upon me that even if the guy in question was hoping to incite something by following the woman home and posting the incident to the 'net, the woman in question still could have pulled into her garage and gone into her home.
No one forced her to stay outside, crying White tears for sympathy.

And look, I get it. There are assholes who will harass people with bigoted language and outright threats, and those people are scum. But here that’s not tolerated. Which is why doxxing is against the rules. Discussions of racism are tolerated, even as conditionals. Neither Boing Boing nor the forum doxxed her. The Trumpist troll did and because the news spread quickly his scam was quickly discovered.

Wait, it’s rich to focus on the guy being an asshole to a racist? If the guy is an asshole the guy is an asshole. That doesn’t excuse what she did, and I’m not sure what the internet should apologize for, exactly?
“I’m sorry you were a racist ass to the wrong guy and he followed you home?”, I guess.

So much for all the pearl clutching here about that poor Karen being “doxxed”, right?

I’m done here. I’m trying to make a very serious point, and my comments just get deleted because whoever controls this site doesn’t want to reflect on it.
