Its not disingenuous when you can infer obvious reasons and burying your head in the sand wont change anything. I don't know. I'm not in the woman's head. I don't know her thoughts. We just need to be objective about things. It would be perfectly fine to include the statements that the people involved think it was about race, but his race does not need to be in the title of the article without proof. We're in this phase of "bad thing happens to a minority, so it's obviously because they're a minority" and everyone just runs with it. Racism should be pointed out and condemned when there is proof of racism. It should not be assumed because the victim of the inconvenience/crime is a minority. This is the kind of shit that fuels the racial divide. <cite>nemu posted [p:910261711] in Babysittin...

"YOU DONT KNOW THAT RACE WAS A FACTOR" ok</quote> What from that sentence determines race was a factor? Why is being black instantly the reason someone will call the police? Could it not be that it's because he's a man? Could it not be because of some suspicions action? It could be, and most likely was his skin color in this case, but it's not 100% certain unless it came out of that lady's mouth. I'm not saying racist people don't call the police on black people for simply being black, and I'm not saying this woman isn't a racist. I'm saying it's disingenuous as fuck to base every single article title on a person's race before facts are even out. The news these days is all about "oppression", even when it's not actually related to a characteristic like that.</quote> What made her suspect foul play then? Its not disingenuous when you can infer obvious reasons and burying your head in the sand wont change anything.</quote> I don't know. I'm not in the woman's head. I don't know her thoughts. We just need to be objective about things. It would be perfectly fine to include the statements that the people involved think it was about race, but his race does not need to be in the title of the article without proof. We're in this phase of "bad thing happens to a minority, so it's obviously because they're a minority" and everyone just runs with it. Racism should be pointed out and condemned when there is proof of racism. It should not be assumed because the victim of the inconvenience/crime is a minority. This is the kind of shit that fuels the racial divide.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

BiggLaw 10/09/18 11:07:04 PM #38:	That's why I always feel uneasy when I'm out with my Godson. Earlier this year we celebrated his 5th birthday at a place kind of like Chuck E Cheese, and he ran up to me and told me that he needed to go to the bathroom. Obviously you don't send a kid into a public restroom alone, so I told my homeboy that he needed to go. This dude just said, "Oh okay, go ahead and take him." In my mind I'm like, "DOG! Don't you know I'm telling YOU for a reason!?" Obviously he didn't understand, but I just took him anyway because I didn't have time to tactfully explain. Lil man is over here doing the "Code Yellow: I'm About to Pee on Myself" dance, and I'm trying to figure out how to avoid this hypothetical, but very possible scenario that I'm so paranoid about. I only felt at ease after entering because the restroom was packed, and in my mind I figured common sense would make it obvious that nobody up to whatever wouldn't do it in a full restroom.
