To be fair it was probably illegal to grill in the park.

I love who people just love to blame black people no matter what.

I don't think that was his intention

This women throw racial slurs and called the police since a black person was using charcoal in at worse a propane area. Hank Hill would not even do that. This is like calling the police on someone for not cleaning the Smith Machine when they are done.

I know the woman was racist, I'm just saying I don't think Banjo was trying to do that

So if the law isn't subjective in the this park case, why did the cops choose not to "enforce" it? Why did they just peace out? It sounded like the lunatic was trying awfully hard to make sure law enforcement would enforce the law. Yet, the cops didn't do anything.

Because the cop likely thought the lady was being an idiot and he had better things to do.

I also haven't seen anyone post what law was actually broken. Do you have a citation about the law in regard to application and enforcement of park regulations?

I found and posted an actual link to the parks official website somewhere ITT I need to go back and find it.

The park is a public park and therefore any of the rules can be enforced via police officers as they are also a public service.

But I do agree the lady was acting like a lunatic with nothing better to do with her life. It's funny the cop basically just did the "move along" thing.

So why in your opinion did the cop not do anything? What was their motivation for not siding with the lunatic? Do you agree with their decision or should they have taken action?
---

It i funny that the big lady LIED to the police which is a CRIME. And the people defending her don't care.
---

So why didn't the lady just give the card back?

she just mad that no one ever invites her to the bbq so she gotta ruin it for everyone else. lame

You obviously realize you have no argument.

Thanks for proving me right.

And you've proved yourself as a shitposter who has reading skills and comprehension below that of a grade schooler. Good work.

no , his reading comprehension clearly is not below grade schooler . He was able to address your points which clearly showed basic reading skills.

lmfao i wouldn't pay that terra guy any mind. his gimmick is to make dumb posts then have people hand his ass to him.

She's stubborn but at least she's not unhinged like the one filming her and harassing her for 25 min straight.

This one spent 2 hours harassing people for BBQ in what she felt was the wrong part of the park, and lied to the police about what happen, and threw out racial slurs. Dude really .

I doubt she ever called them a racial slur considering that she's never once accused of it in the video. That would have been brought up in the footage.

The woman recording interviews the black guy grilling (friends or family standing by), interviews some black bystanders who witnessed it before she got there. None of them mention racial slurs. Nobody. It's bullshit.

And at the 4:55 min mark, the woman recording starts grabbing at the woman on the phone.

Am I the only one who watched this?

Did the woman really wait around 3 hours for the cops over a charcoal grill?

People in oakland had a huge cookout to protest this crazy lady

This topic can be summed as "idiot calls the cop on a family barbecuing with charcoal, when cops do nothing the family that got the cops called on them harass the idiot."

Even if she WAS racist the cops didn't do anything to the family so I don't see the problem here other the the lady was a bitch.

You could also sum it up as bitch does something bitchy and gets upset when people turn on her.

There is no injustice here at all, just a bitch being a bitch.

Stop trying to make everything about race, all it does is further the divide.

It would be a lot easier to not make everything about race if soooooo much stuff wasn't about race though

Like, it's a great ideal and all but a lot of the time being able to ignore the racial dynamics of a given situation is pure white privilege.

I love how that bitch is now a meme. Get rekt

All races have racists.

When the racists choose to be assholes, that makes them assholes.

As long as the government maintain proper peace (as was done in this example) there is NO reason race should have even been nor needed to be brought up.

This was the case of a bitch being and bitch and everyone turning on her, that is all.

Disregarding the racial subtext does not mean it doesn't exist. I agree that this situation was ultimately handled well by the authorities. Race is being brought up because it appears to be relevant as to why this woman went so far out of her way to try and shut them down.

When you start shit expect shit to be handed to you. What do these people expect to happen when they waste officers time with this nonsense.

These people deserve to be exposed.

Racists (of all colors) exists, the sky is blue, the grass is green.

These are all things that are known. The core issue is she was a bitch (regardless of her reasoning) and it was resolved properly by authorities.

If the races were reversed, this wouldn't even have made the news because it's just a bitch being a bitch. Making a mountain out of a molehill (in this particular case) only furthers the divide between the races.

Pick your battles when they actually mean something, don't scream RACIST at every opportunity.

Or, alternatively, we can discuss incidents like this and come to a greater understanding about how modern racism plays out. A lot of white people seem to think this sort of thing doesn't happen or isn't an issue. It's important to shine a light on it.

You mean people being dicks? Because that is what happened here. Crying racism every time a white person is a dick to a black person is not conducive to fixing the divide nor is it true every time such a thing happens.

Proclaiming racism when an ACTUAL injustice happens is 100% reasonable, but for something like this it only serves to add fuel to the fire and it DEFINITELY won't help convince the people that think this type of thing isn't an issue, it will only prove their point in their mind.

This meme is getting old

Again, ignoring the racial subtext does not mean it doesn't exist. And being so dismissive of it really is quite counterproductive.

It's not really enough to say "oh that person was being an asshole." There's more at play here than that

Is there? Or was this person just a bitch?
Maybe she wasn't racist at all and she would have done the same thing to ANY family using a charcoal grill or maybe she was a racist that hates all black people.

It doesn't change the fact that she was a bitch regardless of the racial subtext. I'm dismissing the racial subtext because it isn't important here, there wasn't any injustice.

Making a big deal about HOW people are dicks doesn't help those people NOT be dicks.

I would 100% agree if the cops booked the family grilling or something but that didn't happen here and dwelling on the racial subtext of something that is minor compared to the bigger issues only makes things worse.

Why do you think some people think black people are all "victims" it's because of things like this and proving their point just solidifies their thoughts on the matter.

And frankly I'm not sure why you think recognizing everyday racism causes a divide. There already is a divide. It's why we have everyday racism. People dismissing it out of pocket certainly isn't helping.
---

What I'm seeing here is that the left has no problem with the government forcing you to pay for other people's healthcare or college and confiscating your firearms, but heaven forbid a park has a rule against charcoal grills and that black people have to follow that rule like everyone else.

And proclaiming racism every time a white person is mean to a black person isn't helping either.

Better to focus on the REAL issues where there are truly injustices happening to other races not things where dicks are being dicks and recognizing that the dick MIGHT have been a racist doesn't help anything.

Feel free to ignore them if that's what you want to do. This type of hand-waving is why racism still thrives in America. Because people take the Morgan Freeman route of thinking a problem will go away if you simply don't talk about it.

That is not what I am saying at all. I am saying CHOOSE your battles, when a person is in a position of power did something that could have been racially motivated, THAT's an issue worth fighting and talking about.

When a dick acted like a dick and MAY or may not have been a racist, but the people in power ignored the dicks claim. That is NOT worth talking about, it simply conflates the issues and makes you seem like you are going to scream racism anytime a white person is mean to a black person.

That's such bullshit. You just see what you want to see.

This wasn't about skin color. This was about someone breaking the rules and another person so uptight and crazy they couldn't just walk away.

Pro-tip: People can suck without it being about skin color.

I think casual racism is very much worth talking about. Social attitudes are important. Right now this woman is being held up as an example of how not to act. Everyone is talking about it, and that is something that influences the greater culture.

You are calling her a racist because she was white and acted like a bitch to a black family.

It's possible she would have call the cops on ANY family using a charcoal grill perhaps she was just a bitch, not necessarily a racist bitch.

Again something like this just makes the "perpetual victim" stereotype look more and more true every time it happens.

Which does the EXACT opposite of what you claim you are fighting for.

I agree that people can suck without it being about skin color, but as I said earlier ignoring the racial subtext does not mean that it doesn't exist. Admittedly I can't prove she was being racist. However, most people would not take things as far as she did just to randomly be a jerk for no reason. I think it's fair to assume there was a reason she had such contempt for this particular group, and I don't think it's because she's a stickler for proper bbqs placement.

Nope you completely missed my point yet again.

My point is to not make a big deal about "might be racists" unless they are in a position of power and are directly impacting said race. Assuming anytime a white person is mean to a black person is racist, which is EXACTLY what you have done here is not conducive to solving the issues you claim to be fighting for.

Dicks exist, that doesn't mean all dicks are racists and assuming as such makes you look like a "perpetual victim."

Have a discussion when a person in power "might be a racist," not when some random person who was mean to some other person "might be a racist" even more so when the cops got involved and took the side of the "not dick."

Believe it or not, "big dicks" exist, stop automatically jumping to racism when a "big dick" makes an appearance, unless of course said "big dick" is in a position of power and could potentially be causing harm to said race.

Remember when it used to be considered racist for there to be different sets of rules for white people and black people? Now, it apparently is racist to think that black people should follow the same rules as everyone else.

How progressive.

I get your point, I just disagree with it. You and I are coming to different conclusions about why this woman acted the way she did and that's fine. I still think that talking about racism in society is very important, and only addressing it when a person in a position of power does something racist is missing a lot of what makes racism tick.
