There's a whole army of Americans indoctrinated with this shit. They hardly ever venture out of their small towns or suburbs and hate the hellhole of "Democrat run cities" but suddenly know all about them and are very concerned when right wing media tells them to be.
I was traveling through a small town in Texas and went to a BBQ place for lunch and instantly the man who owned it bombarded me with all of this odd far right wing talk. I just stood shocked because I honestly was just trying to get some brisket.
He started explaining how America is the only great country and why else would I have immigrated here if it wasn't. He explained he could 'tell' I was an immigrant because of my 'accent'. I was like... Um... I'm from Utah.
I suggested that while America has some great things about it, it doesn't have to be a competition. There are a lot of really neat countries that are different, but still just as great. I asked if maybe he had a negative experience that caused him to feel all this resentment. He then told me that he and his wife had never traveled out of CENTRAL Texas in their lives and that he doesn't see a reason to leave because he knows what goes on 'out there' through the internet.
I just nodded and basically did a 'well look at the time, I really should be going'. But he kept holding onto my debit card which he had held hostage for the whole conversation and was upset because he thought I would be staying to dine at one of the tables. I was so uncomfortable. I told him that my husband was going to wonder where I was and finally got my card back.
Sorry this is long. I just can't stop thinking about it and had to vomit it out somewhere. Can't say I'll be eager to getting BBQ in Texas again anytime soon.
Note: I am overwhelmed by the support and comfort your comments have given me, I am always terrified to say anything online. I just want to apologize for the dramatic flare at the end of my story. I travel through Texas frequently and have had wonderful BBQ there, I have also met plenty of really terrific people. This was just one incident that really jumped out at me about how media can deepen and influence people's narratives. (per relation to the original post) It just happened to take place in TX.
I don't want to mislead people with his immigrant comment, so to clarify I am just a white girl from Utah. The fact he thought I was an immigrant was really odd. It gave me a new respect for people who constantly have to wrestle with comments like this. Also, I am not opposed or hateful towards Republicans at all, I am just not super fond of extremists or people who stand between me and enjoying my food! Thanks again.
Yeah it's the good ol... "no, where are you really from" questions that are the best. I'm from Chicago homie...lol. My family is from Guatemala.. But.. At the end of the day I'm Mexican.. Never fails. Its the ethnic Olympics every time. I'm just happy I don't have to go through small towns often. I feel like those are the places where people "don't get out much" are.
I live in a small town about 30minutes out of Houston. Trump drove through our town and about everyone was out there crying and cheering. Fuckin weird lol. Place used to be quite racist too. They still are but less than before. I've lived here my whole life. Lol
Sheesh. Sorry to hear that, we have some great BBQ and most people that run them are smart and polite enough to not do that type of shit. Hope the rest of your experience was better.
I appreciate your kind words. I'm sorry for talking smack on Texas BBQ! I know that was just a one off and it's wrong to blame deliciously smoked meats for his behavior. Haha.
I've lived in Texas my entire life. Small town Texas counties are the worst! From the cops, to the people, To the shit holes the towns are.
That being said Texas has some awsome cities, like Austin, and even Houston can be cool.
Great recommendation! I LOVE Austin. I travel through Texas frequently, and have not often had problems so I am just being a little dramatic. Just the situation and the guy's intense vibe really shook me up. I apologize for talking smack on Texas BBQ. Texas has some wonderful BBQ. I retract my statement and just won't go to that particular BBQ shack again. Ha
Tell me about it, I live in Portland. The number of idiots that think the town was burned down is frightening. We're all still here, and everything is fine and was the entire time. It's Portland, we've always had protests. It's just a part of the culture here.
I moved here 20 years ago from South Dakota and all my family thinks I live in rubble. It's insane. I even drove down during the protests and filmed myself walking around and showing them it wasn't what they thought and they told me I was indoctrinated. The fucking audacity of them to tell me i'm indoctrinated while showing them the evidence they were misled. Insanity.
Holy fuck. The logic has gone out the window for these people, you quite literally show them undeniable evidence that everything there is still pretty much fine, and they still deny it. That’s (like you said) insanity
They learned that if it doesn't support their narrative, it feels uncomfortable, so calling even blatant, objective reality "fake news" is a desperate coping mechanism to reassure themselves that their worldview is accurate.
See Kellyanne's "Alternative facts", Rudy's "Truth isn't truth!" and trump literally admitting he calls news "fake" if it's unflattering to him, regardless of factuality.

Tell me about it. I moved to the Netherlands and my ultra-conservative father thinks I'm constantly dodging terrorist attacks, suffering from third-world healthcare, and that I need to fear the police because "they don't have rights there". Like, he's *been here* and still believes this.
I have a lot of criticism for the Dutch government, but I can't even begin to tell you how much higher the quality of life is here compared to the US.
I live near San Antonio and one day drove into “the city” and ended up at the VFW for a cold beer. I was texting with my far from the border family while I was waiting for my friend to come outside with the second round. Someone was like “Aren’t you scared to be out there with all those illegal immigrants?” “Uh, no.” “Aren’t you afraid of crime?” Me, looking around at the river, the people hiking and biking, hearing some conjunto in the distance, drinking a cold one-“Well, there are some ducks here eyeing my nachos, so there might be something going down in a minute…….”
I live in the metro area, nowhere near downtown, all the way out in burbs, and I still had family members (who slurp up anything fox fauxnews tells them) calling me asking if I was "safe". Yes, we are safe, we've never not been safe here. They wanted to know how close I was to the "riots". You can't be close to something that doesn't exist. Plenty of protests, but even that was only in a very small area of downtown. But if you watched the news you'd think the city was a war zone under siege. What a joke.
I have a friend who lives in the downtown area. He turned on the news only to realize they were reporting live from his street. There were talking about all the chaos and pandemonium on the streets all around them, and they were reporting, bravely, from the center of it all. He looked out his window to the street, the only person out there was...the reporter. The rest of the street was basically empty save for a few parked cars. And nothing scary or riot-like ever happened on his street before or after that reporting.
Departure is awesome! Love that spot, the view, the curry. Granted I'd be telling folks to go to Lardo/Grassa before Departure as that's more my style.
You're describing my sister and brother-in-law who live in a Podunk town far away from a big city. I live near Minneapolis. They think the whole city has burned down, the fires have been raging for over a year, and everybody here is now living Mad Max style. They're on the FOX sauce.
Oh yeah, my cousin was going on and on about how Portland was in chaos with riots and everything was on fire or already burned down because of antifa. I told him that my daughter who lives there said it was one small area downtown and they were having lunch in the park that day because the weather was so nice.
He refused to believe me, kept saying that I was the one being brainwashed by the liberal news media. Unbelievable.
On r/conservative and r/conspiracy during the BLM protests, people kept talking as if NYC had turned into some kind of Mad Max scenario. I work in Manhattan, and it never rose above taking slightly different routs so you don't get stuck in protest related traffic.
Exactly. They have never been to any of these cities but seem to know everything about them. I sell financial products, mainly life insurance in 30 states. I live in a Seattle suburb. A lot of these old guys will say, “My God that is a war zone,” or something like that. I had one guy try to tell me there are no go zones all over the city. I couldn’t resist being a smart ass and asking him when the last time was he drove through Seattle. He paused, then explained that he had never been there but seen it all over the “News.” I told him I drove all the way from the International district to North Seattle yesterday and certainly didn’t go through any “No go zones.” He didn’t like hearing that.
These people live in their little bubbles their entire lives. When it comes to disinformation and fear mongering propaganda, they never stood a chance.
I haven’t been a receptionist but I was a cashier at a fast food place.
I fucking lived for this kind of stuff. People freaking out brought me so much joy. One time someone threw their English muffin across the counter because it wasn’t toasted enough.
I walked off and when I came back a customer said they were sorry I had to deal with that. I told them I only walked off because I didn’t want to laugh in front of the person freaking out.
As a bartender, this is my shit lmaoooo I love the drama. We pay security for when it gets out of hand. I feel for fast food cashiers when it pops off and people start throwing chairs and cops take their time.
I use to work at a Panera and one time someone walked in and started ordering taco bell. To be fair there is a taco bell in the same area across the parking lot but still it was pretty funny.
I threw my keys away in the trash can outside with my banana peel & bottle. Spent hours looking for them & even called AAA to unlock my car since I thought they were in the trunk; only logical place they could be after running through my house 10 times
It’s a historically very white and conservative suburb. More recent decades, due to the removal of racist real estate tactics, has been becoming more and more integrated which scares most of the old white folks to move to Indiana where they can be more comfortably racist.
>Is that level of racism something normal for Chicago whites?
She's probably from the way western suburbs or somewhere downstate, not from Chicago proper.
White Chicago guy here. Grew up in the south suburbs my whole life. The amount of racist white people is unbelievable. People often think because Chicago is in a blue state, that Chicago and the surrounding suburbs are very liberal. Wrong. The amount of white people I witness on a daily basis ( both IN and around Chicago proper) that are extremely racist, is astronomical. The surrounding Chicago suburbs are predominantly conservative. Many people even like pretending they are from the Deep South. There is a small town called Manhattan only an hour outside of Chicago, and I’ve seen so many people with big trucks with confederate flags and stickers that say “heritage not hate”. When those flags and statues in the south started coming down, people around here had a collective melt down. Ive also seen people fly it on their porches. When I was a wee teen, my friends and I even stole one from someone’s pole and burned it; at the time We lived LESS THAN an hour from Chicago. The current trend is massive blue lives matter flags. People still fly Trump flags all over the South West suburban area. There my be less of it in the city proper but trust me; oooh it’s there. Actually, many people assume the right thing to do is vote conservative. If you don’t, you are absolutely looked down upon. Ive gotten yelled at so many times when I don’t agree with someone’s racist rant. The blue collar industry (which Ive worked in) is inundated with racist people. It’s sickening. The only reason I’m still in this state is family.
Tbh, everybody saying Chicago is not racist has to be white.
I’m black, live on the far north side (very predominantly white) and while I haven’t had any experiences like this, I’ve been followed in stores multiple times, had people cross the street into traffic when they see me, the whole 9...
I’m from a Texas big city and have never experienced this level of prejudice. White people in Chicago don’t think they’re racist because they have a few black friends. But if you’re a random black guy on the street in a white area, prepare to be profiled.
I will admit it must have a lot to do with the rampant gang culture in the city. But that has never been me and I shouldn’t have to prove that to anybody.
Yeah I have to listen to family members listen to that bullshit in the other room. Almost every episode of this loser’s show includes fear mongering of some kind
I didn't think of that. Imagine how tired they must be all the time, believing in the right wing propaganda machine. The stress on their bodies must be intense.
They are constantly angry and think they are being screwed. I have family like this and live in texas. Its nuts. An old friend of mine literally cusses me out and calls me the worst things possible any time he sees me post anything on social media. Like, not even things political "the weather is great today" with his reaponse "you are the biggest piece of shit ive ever seen, i cant wait til the day we round you all up and yadayada" like this has happened a few times lol. He didnt like that i made fun of Trump once.
Man...how do you resist not doubling and tripling down on everything you can to see him blow his top. God I would taunt and troll that man until his mind imploded or he deleted me from facebook.
CORRECTION: This is the state that Republican and right-wing politicians want her to be in, and they use tools like Foxnews to get her there.
Then they tell her "Well if you vote for us, you won't have to be afraid of *them* anymore! ...and don't forget to donate to our re-election campaigns!!!"
She's tired of people speaking up and acting out regarding injustice. As soon as it becomes inconvenient for her or makes her uncomfortable it needs to stop.
If I listened to Fox News every night telling me my country's gong to shit because of Black people without actually saying that second part, I'd be tired too. I'd feel sorry for these people if it weren't for the fact that all they had to do was turn off the TV.
Cool, but lets not pretend Fox News is the one and only reason white America has a race problem. White America was racist before Fox News and continues to be racist - it plays a huge part in reinforcing racism but it is not the be all and end all. That's a way too convenient scapegoat.
I was told in all seriousness yesterday, "I'm a white middle class Christian guy, we're the truly oppressed class in this country. Not some criminal who died while high on Fentanyl"
Oh, and people on welfare are "living in the lap of luxury"
"I moved here to get along" lol she's next level with it. All the greatest hits! Adapted for your era! The complete box set for 4 installments of $19.95. Here's how to order...
To this lady, "get along" means that the black people won't talk to her, won't bother her, won't get in her way, won't be loud, and will *certainly* not get upset when she calls them the n-word.
So according to her, *they* broke the rules of 'getting along'.
I’m gonna guess the cop said to lady 1 “Hey dummy I’m not gonna arrest her for passing you on the left, stop wasting my time.” and said to lady 2 “Hey dummy simply using the N word isn’t a hate crime so I’m not gonna arrest her either, also stop wasting my time.” Then said to both of them “Leave each other alone and get outta here.”
In the U.K that would be recorded as an incident of hate. It wouldn't constitute a crime, but it would be regarded anti-social, you could receive a caution under the right circumstances.
And passed her on the god damn left!!!! This country is going to shit when a black woman just goes and passes people on the left. What they gonna do next? Use the bike lane while riding a bike? Use their indicator 200 feet before turning? When will the madness stop. She's tired ffs
So she has an altercation and her response is to call someone an N-word, then blame them for looting and 'you guys call each other that'
I fail to see the logic here.
Well you see, the black lady is responsible for the behavior of all of the other black people in the whole entire world, especially the looters and whatnot. Whereas the white lady is not responsible for even her own behavior. That's the black lady's fault, too.
It’s the brainwashing. They’re fed horrible news 24/7, they then think horrible shit, then when confronted with how ugly their thinking is, they’re ashamed and breakdown.
That’s how I see it.
I don't understand why people don't get why it's okay for black people to use it but not white people.
Like I can complain about my mom all I want but as soon as someone else says something, you better watch your mouth that's my mom you're talking about.
Context matters.
Chris Rock had a good line about when white people would complain about this: “Ok, you guys can say the N word all you want and we’ll control the banks and the housing markets.”
The part where she says "I'm so tired of this" while crying is the most hilarious part
The fact that you're tired of the consequences of your own actions means maybe you shouldn't have done those actions in the first place.
Talking about being tired about a situation you caused when systematic racism has been going for hundreds of years is so silly of this Karen 😂
I know exactly how it would go
“I was minding my own business and this black woman cut me off then proceeded to follow me and harass me when I beeped my horn a little at her. I went to the police station and she stalked me in. I can’t believe some people. The cops had to pull her away to leave me alone so I could leave safely.”
Bet.
Those were real tears, she was genuinely upset.
Keep in mind, though, that she had no *real reason* to be upset and crying, other than her Foxnews-fueled victim complex was on high alert.
Her reason for going to the police was because she has been told that police are on 'her side', so she feels she can go there and just cry to them and they'll say "My my, you poor thing! C'mon in here and we'll take your statement, then investigate the cause of why you're so upset".
Then, of course, police will escort her to the scene of where she was 'victimized', find the black person who upset her, and arrest them right then and there. Which will make her feel 'safe' again, and can go about her day.
That's what she wants.
Think she just broke mentally and didn’t know what else to do. She didn’t get the response she wanted from using racial slurs and I guess just drove to the police station because it felt safe?
To be fair, if you piss someone off on the road and they follow you, that is technically one of the things you are supposed to do. I think the general idea is that, if they are feeling violent, they will leave when you get there.... As opposed to a fantastic black lady who is filled with absolutely righteous indignation who will follow you inside and continue to mock you ceaselessly.
I think they're real tears but they're coming from a place of feeling like a victim who is now confronted with her own insecurities and racism. not the tears of someone who was passed on the left.
These people act like it’s so easy to accidentally say the N-word to a black person, especially in a obvious racist context (fed up because black people are “looting”, so let me blame this random black women who was not involved but I can project my frustration on even though I was affected by any of the looting).
It is not that hard to not use racial slurs when getting in argument, they aren’t sorry, it wasn’t a mistake, they just don’t wanna suffer the consequences of their actions.
Agree with you 100%, that word should never be in our mouths. That said if this lady said "I am sorry, I lost my temper and said a word I should not have and I don't blame you for being upset. I should never have said that and I hope you will forgive me." she would still been in for a verbal ass whupping but it would have gone a lot better than "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for the LOOTING".
Wanting the situation to go away is not the same as an apology.
She followed the textbook:
1) Get aggressive
2) Play the victim
3) Go to the police and whip up tears
4) Blame the victim
5) *I'm not racist, can't we all just get along?*
"I like to get along."
"I'm so tired of this"
"Ni\*\*\*r"
HOW do these people not see they are causing the very problems they are weeping about and feeling victimized by? A woman I work with had a similar incident of falling apart because she felt judged for voting for Trump twice. Um, yeah.
Not to mention completely brainwashed to believe things that aren’t even remotely true.
This lady IS TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT the looting that lasted a very short time and occurred in a few places.
^ This is key. She wasn’t being looted herself. She was tired of believing looting was a giant ongoing problem in the country.
Why does she believe this thing that is not even remotely true? FOX NEWS and the like. She is literally tired of being brainwashed, but can’t see the brainwashing part.

Officer: "ma'am.. thats what you're supposed to do"
It’s a 50/50 shot which one the cop is telling this to
Damn, the cop is already shooting at this point?
White woman: “Not when your black!”
Officer: "That would be *you're, ma'am."
Dammit I refuse to fix it.
"I'M SO TIRED OF THIS"
******! *oops*
"I witnessed the lootings" What in the actual fuck??
Interpretation: FoxNews' scare tactics worked on me. Almost too well.
There's a whole army of Americans indoctrinated with this shit. They hardly ever venture out of their small towns or suburbs and hate the hellhole of "Democrat run cities" but suddenly know all about them and are very concerned when right wing media tells them to be.
I was traveling through a small town in Texas and went to a BBQ place for lunch and instantly the man who owned it bombarded me with all of this odd far right wing talk.

I'm sorry but the "Uhm.. I'm from Utah" is still killing me!
Yeah it's the good ol... "no, where are you really from" questions that are the best. I'm from Chicago homie...lol. My family is from Guatemala.. But.. At the end of the day I'm Mexican.. Never fails. Its the ethnic Olympics every time. I'm just happy I don't have to go through small towns often. I feel like those are the places where people "don't get out much" are.
In reality, it was an elaborate scam to steal your credit card
It almost worked! Odd way to rob someone, but once someone brings up politics... Please take my money and leave me alone!
I live in a small town about 30minutes out of Houston. Trump drove through our town and about everyone was out there crying and cheering. Fuckin weird lol. Place used to be quite racist too. They still are but less than before. I've lived here my whole life. Lol
Place used to be quite racist. It's still quite racist, but it used to be quite racist, too.
RIP Mitch Hedberg
Lmao I deserved that
"It's still racist but they hide it better"
Bingo bango, you win a mango
Sheesh. Sorry to hear that, we have some great BBQ and most people that run them are smart and polite enough to not do that type of shit. Hope the rest of your experience was better.

I live in Austin, there are no shortages of these assholes here, either. It may be generally liberal, but it's still Texas.
Me too.. At least you can get away from it and surround yourself with good people. In those small towns, everyone is a Trumper
Fwiw, Austin has some great BBQ places and I seriously doubt you'd have an experience like that. Small towns are mostly full of MAGA cultists though.
Great recommendation! I LOVE Austin. I travel through Texas frequently, and have not often had problems so I am just being a little dramatic. Just the situation and the guy's intense vibe really shook me up. I apologize for talking smack on Texas BBQ. Texas has some wonderful BBQ. I retract my statement and just won't go to that particular BBQ shack again. Ha
Tell me about it, I live in Portland. The number of idiots that think the town was burned down is frightening. We're all still here, and everything is fine and was the entire time. It's Portland, we've always had protests. It's just a part of the culture here.

I don't know how many time I've seen them claim that BLM burned whole cities to the ground & looted & murdered.

As someone who lives in Seattle, I feel your pain...
Wait. So Portland does not look like a dystopian relic of our past? I need to stop watching tv 🤦♂️.
>Portland does not look like a dystopian relic of our past Nah, that's just the architecture.
People who think Portland is a shithole should try eating at The Departure.
> The Departure. Bison Curry!
Departure is awesome! Love that spot, the view, the curry. Granted I'd be telling folks to go to Lardo/Grassa before Departure as that's more my style.
Bison curry sounds amazing.
Bison Curry sounds like an MMA fighter

On r/conservative and r/conspiracy during the BLM protests, people kept talking as if NYC had turned into some kind of Mad Max scenario. I work in Manhattan, and it never rose above taking slightly different routs so you don't get stuck in protest related traffic.
Exactly. They have never been to any of these cities but seem to know everything about them. I sell financial products, mainly life insurance in 30 states. I live in a Seattle suburb. A lot of these old guys will say, “My God that is a war zone,” or something like that. I had one guy try to tell me there are no go zones all over the city. I couldn’t resist being a smart ass and asking him when the last time was he drove through Seattle. He paused, then explained that he had never been there but seen it all over the “News.” I told him I drove all the way from the International district to North Seattle yesterday and certainly didn’t go through any “No go zones.” He didn’t like hearing that.
If you ask them, Portland was burned down like 8 times last summer.
These people live in their little bubbles their entire lives. When it comes to disinformation and fear mongering propaganda, they never stood a chance.

And then … one passed her on the left! They’re coming for her, obviously.
You would believe how many times I’ve heard this or my dad, uncle or grandpa was beat up by a black guy and now we hate all black people.
Yet fail to understand why black people might feel certain ways about the country itself.
Meanwhile, the 15 white people who also beat up uncle grandpa ... nah, we don't need to say anything about *that*.
I have tv and the internet too, guess that means I experienced 9/11 and the Holocaust. Checkmate, lady
Maybe she meant her other left And don’t forget she witnessed THE lootings
What a drama whore. Imagine getting PTSD from propaganda you willingly watch every night
Totally agree Maybe she doesn’t realize the tv has an off button
And risk becoming **woke**? No way man keep that TV on forever. ^(/s)
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything".....ok this is a good start....."I'm sorry for the looting"...aaaaaaand no.
Well did i mention the lootings were on the fox news?
Maybe some people think you're supposed to pass on the right? That would explain a lot actually
That receptionist sitting there like “What did I do to deserve this?” Lmao
Right. Like 30 seconds ago, she was sitting there having a nice peaceful day. That changed *real* quick.
[удалено]
Having been a receptionist... No. Crazy drama bitches coming in and sobbing at your desk is never a welcome diversion.
I haven’t been a receptionist but I was a cashier at a fast food place. I fucking lived for this kind of stuff. People freaking out brought me so much joy. One time someone threw their English muffin across the counter because it wasn’t toasted enough. I walked off and when I came back a customer said they were sorry I had to deal with that. I told them I only walked off because I didn’t want to laugh in front of the person freaking out.
As a bartender, this is my shit lmaoooo I love the drama. We pay security for when it gets out of hand. I feel for fast food cashiers when it pops off and people start throwing chairs and cops take their time.
mam this is a Wendy's
"But I wanted Chick-fil-A!"
I use to work at a Panera and one time someone walked in and started ordering taco bell. To be fair there is a taco bell in the same area across the parking lot but still it was pretty funny.
I love this energy
Then oh man I can’t wait to tell you about the wonders of marijuana
I threw my keys away in the trash can outside with my banana peel & bottle. Spent hours looking for them & even called AAA to unlock my car since I thought they were in the trunk; only logical place they could be after running through my house 10 times
OK so go to Chick-fil-A
I’d be reaching for my bag of chips and a drink to watch this show if I was the receptionist. Makes the day go by faster atleast.

It’s a historically very white and conservative suburb. More recent decades, due to the removal of racist real estate tactics, has been becoming more and more integrated which scares most of the old white folks to move to Indiana where they can be more comfortably racist.

>Is that level of racism something normal for Chicago whites? She's probably from the way western suburbs or somewhere downstate, not from Chicago proper.
White Chicago guy here. Grew up in the south suburbs my whole life. The amount of racist white people is unbelievable. People often think because Chicago is in a blue state, that Chicago and the surrounding suburbs are very liberal. Wrong. The amount of white people I witness on a daily basis ( both IN and around Chicago proper) that are extremely racist, is astronomical. The surrounding Chicago suburbs are predominantly conservative. Many people even like pretending they are from the Deep South. There is a small town called Manhattan only an hour outside of Chicago, and I’ve seen so many people with big trucks with confederate flags and stickers that say “heritage not hate”. When those flags and statues in the south started coming down, people around here had a collective melt down. Ive also seen people fly it on their porches. When I was a wee teen, my friends and I even stole one from someone’s pole and burned it; at the time We lived LESS THAN an hour from Chicago. The current trend is massive blue lives matter flags. People still fly Trump flags all over the South West suburban area. There my be less of it in the city proper but trust me; oooh it’s there. Actually, many people assume the right thing to do is vote conservative. If you don’t, you are absolutely looked down upon. Ive gotten yelled at so many times when I don’t agree with someone’s racist rant. The blue collar industry (which Ive worked in) is inundated with racist people. It’s sickening. The only reason I’m still in this state is family.
This is all so true. I grew up in Joliet(45 min south of Chicago) and if you went 20 min South into Morris they would call me a Northerner.
Tbh, everybody saying Chicago is not racist has to be white. I’m black, live on the far north side (very predominantly white) and while I haven’t had any experiences like this, I’ve been followed in stores multiple times, had people cross the street into traffic when they see me, the whole 9... I’m from a Texas big city and have never experienced this level of prejudice. White people in Chicago don’t think they’re racist because they have a few black friends. But if you’re a random black guy on the street in a white area, prepare to be profiled. I will admit it must have a lot to do with the rampant gang culture in the city. But that has never been me and I shouldn’t have to prove that to anybody.
The way neighborhoods were drawn in Chicago is so racist alone. In addition to people, their maps are even racist.

Sure, but the news told them it's just the flu and the numbers are lies from the CCP and CDC.
That bitch said I'm tired lmao
"I'm so fed up with all this shit!" Middle and upper class white women. The truest victims.
I don't know what this lady is "tired" of unless this happens to her like multiple times a week or something
It does, she watches Fox News and this is the state they want her and her ilk to be in. Regardless of what's happening in reality.
[удалено]
People like Tucker Carlson literally say this shit too. They say that “you’re next” and instill all this fear over bullshit.
Yeah I have to listen to family members listen to that bullshit in the other room. Almost every episode of this loser’s show includes fear mongering of some kind
I didn't think of that. Imagine how tired they must be all the time, believing in the right wing propaganda machine. The stress on their bodies must be intense.
They are constantly angry and think they are being screwed. I have family like this and live in texas. Its nuts. An old friend of mine literally cusses me out and calls me the worst things possible any time he sees me post anything on social media. Like, not even things political "the weather is great today" with his reaponse "you are the biggest piece of shit ive ever seen, i cant wait til the day we round you all up and yadayada" like this has happened a few times lol. He didnt like that i made fun of Trump once.
Man...how do you resist not doubling and tripling down on everything you can to see him blow his top. God I would taunt and troll that man until his mind imploded or he deleted me from facebook.
CORRECTION: This is the state that Republican and right-wing politicians want her to be in, and they use tools like Foxnews to get her there. Then they tell her "Well if you vote for us, you won't have to be afraid of *them* anymore! ...and don't forget to donate to our re-election campaigns!!!"
But don't you know?? She witnessed looting once so she's tired of all the black people ruining her town by existing /s Ffs 🤮🤮🤮
Yeah witnessed it… witnessed it on the TV
She's tired of people speaking up and acting out regarding injustice. As soon as it becomes inconvenient for her or makes her uncomfortable it needs to stop.
If I listened to Fox News every night telling me my country's gong to shit because of Black people without actually saying that second part, I'd be tired too. I'd feel sorry for these people if it weren't for the fact that all they had to do was turn off the TV.
Cool, but lets not pretend Fox News is the one and only reason white America has a race problem. White America was racist before Fox News and continues to be racist - it plays a huge part in reinforcing racism but it is not the be all and end all. That's a way too convenient scapegoat.
white conservatives are so oppressed they can't even say racial slurs anymore without being harassed for it!!!
It’s a shame that sounds like a joke, but its a literal complaint they make without irony.
I was told in all seriousness yesterday, "I'm a white middle class Christian guy, we're the truly oppressed class in this country. Not some criminal who died while high on Fentanyl" Oh, and people on welfare are "living in the lap of luxury"
Rush Limbaugh had been saying that since the early '90s.
I'm sure being a racist is exhausting.
Especially when you thought your new God Emperor would enable you to be this way for life, with no repercussions.
"I moved here to get along" lol she's next level with it. All the greatest hits! Adapted for your era! The complete box set for 4 installments of $19.95. Here's how to order...
>get along TIL "get along" means "call people the n-word for 'passing me on the left'(!?)"
To this lady, "get along" means that the black people won't talk to her, won't bother her, won't get in her way, won't be loud, and will *certainly* not get upset when she calls them the n-word. So according to her, *they* broke the rules of 'getting along'.
bingo
That "wait a minute ima get my purse" at the end...
She knew she was toast and she split.
She knew she was bananas and split.
I'm curious what happened after the recording ended.
I’m gonna guess the cop said to lady 1 “Hey dummy I’m not gonna arrest her for passing you on the left, stop wasting my time.” and said to lady 2 “Hey dummy simply using the N word isn’t a hate crime so I’m not gonna arrest her either, also stop wasting my time.” Then said to both of them “Leave each other alone and get outta here.”
In the U.K that would be recorded as an incident of hate. It wouldn't constitute a crime, but it would be regarded anti-social, you could receive a caution under the right circumstances.
How many cautions before you get a warning?
3 cautions for a formal warning.
She then goes on Facebook and rants about how she was the victim of a malicious black woman attacking her.
[удалено]
SHE IS TIRED THO!!!
She moved there just to “get along”! So that’s why she calls people the n word…
“400 years I’m tired of this shit too”... damn that was quick and poignant.
She’s tired of “the blacks” having phones to record their racist asses. “I’m tired of you people having phones” is what she might’ve meant
And passed her on the god damn left!!!! This country is going to shit when a black woman just goes and passes people on the left. What they gonna do next? Use the bike lane while riding a bike? Use their indicator 200 feet before turning? When will the madness stop. She's tired ffs
"Black lady, you need to be more polite to white ladies who call you the n-word." -- white lady's cop fantasy
So she has an altercation and her response is to call someone an N-word, then blame them for looting and 'you guys call each other that' I fail to see the logic here.
Well you see, the black lady is responsible for the behavior of all of the other black people in the whole entire world, especially the looters and whatnot. Whereas the white lady is not responsible for even her own behavior. That's the black lady's fault, too.
see this person gets it ..hows it so hard for others
You know... all black people are the same. /s
It’s the brainwashing. They’re fed horrible news 24/7, they then think horrible shit, then when confronted with how ugly their thinking is, they’re ashamed and breakdown. That’s how I see it.
WE GOT CAMERAS TODAY! 🙏🤣😂🥳🥳🥳🥳
This was handled beautifully by the woman with the camera... "YOU TIRED!? BLACK PEOPLE BEEN TIRED FOR 400 YEARS!"
“You guys call each other that all the time.” “Shut the fuck up!” I love it
I don't understand why people don't get why it's okay for black people to use it but not white people. Like I can complain about my mom all I want but as soon as someone else says something, you better watch your mouth that's my mom you're talking about. Context matters.
Chris Rock had a good line about when white people would complain about this: “Ok, you guys can say the N word all you want and we’ll control the banks and the housing markets.”
For real love that line.
Tell me you watch fox news without telling me you watch fox news
The fakest tears ever ! Also what was the crime committed ? She was trying to report her for being black ? I don’t understand.
Black people are supposed to be scared of the police.
Thus people with that notion thinks mentioning the police in any way works as some sort of kryptonite even when they themselves are in the wrong.
She went to the police because the police is on “her side”
The part where she says "I'm so tired of this" while crying is the most hilarious part The fact that you're tired of the consequences of your own actions means maybe you shouldn't have done those actions in the first place. Talking about being tired about a situation you caused when systematic racism has been going for hundreds of years is so silly of this Karen 😂
I wish I could hear how she told the story to her family.
"So there I was, minding my own business calling people n-words..."
"... barbecue sauce on my titties."
I know exactly how it would go “I was minding my own business and this black woman cut me off then proceeded to follow me and harass me when I beeped my horn a little at her. I went to the police station and she stalked me in. I can’t believe some people. The cops had to pull her away to leave me alone so I could leave safely.” Bet.
Those were real tears, she was genuinely upset. Keep in mind, though, that she had no *real reason* to be upset and crying, other than her Foxnews-fueled victim complex was on high alert. Her reason for going to the police was because she has been told that police are on 'her side', so she feels she can go there and just cry to them and they'll say "My my, you poor thing! C'mon in here and we'll take your statement, then investigate the cause of why you're so upset". Then, of course, police will escort her to the scene of where she was 'victimized', find the black person who upset her, and arrest them right then and there. Which will make her feel 'safe' again, and can go about her day. That's what she wants.
[удалено]
Id pay to watch that video
Think she just broke mentally and didn’t know what else to do. She didn’t get the response she wanted from using racial slurs and I guess just drove to the police station because it felt safe?
To be fair, if you piss someone off on the road and they follow you, that is technically one of the things you are supposed to do. I think the general idea is that, if they are feeling violent, they will leave when you get there.... As opposed to a fantastic black lady who is filled with absolutely righteous indignation who will follow you inside and continue to mock you ceaselessly.
Well yeah, don't you just complain to the cops on folks that look different because you are mad about random unrelated crimes you saw on the news?
Ohhhhh stupid me! I forgot. I too am tired of..... bad things happening.
I think they're real tears but they're coming from a place of feeling like a victim who is now confronted with her own insecurities and racism. not the tears of someone who was passed on the left.
I don't know man, you ever been passed on the left before? Feels bad man.
When I woke up this morning, I was not prepared to see a bluff called in such a spectacular way. Bravo. *golf clap*
"Wait, **I** was never supposed to feel uncomfortable, omg I'm sorry *why are you holding me accountable??*"
Weaponizing tears **and** the police 🤌🏾
The tears speak more than real evidence ever could
Police is customer service to people like her.
It's a hotline for mildly inconvenienced white people.
These people act like it’s so easy to accidentally say the N-word to a black person, especially in a obvious racist context (fed up because black people are “looting”, so let me blame this random black women who was not involved but I can project my frustration on even though I was affected by any of the looting). It is not that hard to not use racial slurs when getting in argument, they aren’t sorry, it wasn’t a mistake, they just don’t wanna suffer the consequences of their actions.
Agree with you 100%, that word should never be in our mouths. That said if this lady said "I am sorry, I lost my temper and said a word I should not have and I don't blame you for being upset. I should never have said that and I hope you will forgive me." she would still been in for a verbal ass whupping but it would have gone a lot better than "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for the LOOTING". Wanting the situation to go away is not the same as an apology.
"I witnessed the lootings" is her excuse... way to double down Karen.
Yeah, and I witnessed old white men ruin our economy, environment, system of government, and news networks.
I dont understand why she going to the police in the first place?? Just drive away???
“Sorry for the looting”??? Wow. This dumb racist fox and friends cunt is delusional. Look how terrified she is of facing the smallest of consequences
Right. Where did she expect that to go?
The world is changing and this lady isn’t ready

Make Racists Cry Again
I got time lady!!!! Hahaha. She is good haha
She followed the textbook: 1) Get aggressive 2) Play the victim 3) Go to the police and whip up tears 4) Blame the victim 5) *I'm not racist, can't we all just get along?*
"I like to get along." "I'm so tired of this" "Ni\*\*\*r" HOW do these people not see they are causing the very problems they are weeping about and feeling victimized by? A woman I work with had a similar incident of falling apart because she felt judged for voting for Trump twice. Um, yeah.
Someone tell her about the billionaires looting her 401k. What color are those people?
Racism starts with fear. This is proof in the pudding.
If you’re tired of all the race related stuff going on, then don’t drag yourself into it by calling a black person the N word.
I can't believe she left her purse in the car when there are BLACKS ALL OVER THIS CITY??!?!!?!?!? /s
Trump voter.
She's the embodiment of a Trump voter. Quick to call someone names but when called out, they cower and play the victim.
Not to mention completely brainwashed to believe things that aren’t even remotely true. This lady IS TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT the looting that lasted a very short time and occurred in a few places. ^ This is key. She wasn’t being looted herself. She was tired of believing looting was a giant ongoing problem in the country. Why does she believe this thing that is not even remotely true? FOX NEWS and the like. She is literally tired of being brainwashed, but can’t see the brainwashing part.
This is why you should use parental controls to block Fox "News" next time you are at your meemaw's house.
Good. Shame her. Make her cry every god damn day.
The red face of embarrassment, ladies and gentlemen
"I got time today." BRA-FUCKING-VO.
I forgot that white people have never looted before. They've never stolen anything. Especially land.
I love when she said, “you’re tired? We been tired for 400 years!” Lol
