I have been warning black people in America, yes, not capitalized on purpose, that the rest of America is going to or are getting tired of The Antics. I warned that this joy at the browning of America would leave blacks with a population that is unmoved by slavery narratives, Jim Crow narratives and all the rest.
Asians who had no hand in the trans-Atlantic slave trade, Indians, and whites from Eastern Europe will give zero f***ks about the past that they had no hand in. They will however be very not happy with the current nonsense that too many black people are doing.
A few weeks ago I saw a video where an Indian (dot not feather) was calling a black woman the n-word. I don't know the circumstances that got her to that point, but when I saw it I saw it as an example of how others are slowly but surely no longer biting their tongues when they see what they perceive as "bad behavior" by black people.
When the Karmelo thing happened, I was aghast at the online commentary I saw from certain black folks. One man outright claiming that he would "poke" a white person who tried to tell him where he could sit. Another, historically ignorant person made comparisons to Rosa Parks. As if being present in the wrong team's tent is equal to being forced to sit in the back of a bus or give up one's seat.
No.
I have been waiting and will continue to wait for the trial or some definitive video to emerge before commenting on THAT sitiuation because I don't believe that simply having a weapon is indicative of criminal intent. I kept weapons with me in HS for self-defence. Fortunately my limited Judo knowledge sufficed when I was able to use. It's an unfortunate thing, but yeah, I support the right to bear arms, including non-firearms. That said, you need justifications to "poke"someone and simply being put out of a tent you allegedly had no business being in, is NOT the justification.
But that is beside the point. The point was the absolute vile and yes, racist commentary from black people in response to this. And this was in public. In the not distant past, pre-internet, if you weren't in the race, it was unlikely you would hear such commentary. Now with the internet, everyone, world wide, can see that there are a lot of homicidal black people out there and they aren't the masked up pants sagging people that the stereotype would have them believe. Nope. They saw that what they consider "run of the mill" and "every day" black people that they may see on a daily basis likely harbored very ill intent towards them.
I guarantee you this woke a lot of them up.
Now the dumb liberal white folks that are scared to offend a black person lest they be seen as racists, will still kiss any black person's ass, or at a bare minimum, keep the act up in public. However; as seen with the Indian. A whole lot, numbers unknown, are no longer having it.
Enter Shiloh.
I'm not going to pretend I know all of the details and honestly I have better things to do with my time and energy than worry about whether a random white person used the n-word. I don't use it (generally) and don't think it should be a regular part of anybody's conversation. However; what she did was to say the word, repeatedly and give no cares, at least in the moment, about how the target felt.
This, in this time in America, is unusual. There was a time in America where a white person using the N-word in public wouldn't have made anyone bat an eye. That time went away. It may be returning and not for the reasons it was before.
Black folks have gotten a lot by milking white guilt. A lot of non-black, non-whites have joined in the looting as well. The thing is, at some point it's not going to work anymore. And the more black people "drop the mask" in public, the faster that guilt is going to dissipate. What happens if say, 50% of whites along with the majority of the non-black, non-whites, decide they've had enough?
Shiloh's word games may just the tip of the iceberg.
