Racism (Linguistics Profiling) Caught On Tape!

[pete33685]

no one my age has seen institutionalized oppression racism unless your white, racial grade curves in schools, wasn't civil rights about race not mattering, but now race is on every government test

[eatherdrive]

@pete33685 At this point, I'm really beginning to question exactly what your age is. Clearly you've nothing else of value to contribute to this exchange. And I no longer find your performance entertaining. The situation was settled 3 years ago, shortly after this video posted. Live with it. And with that, I bid you adieu.

[pete33685]

she still stated on opinions, and you have not proven her statements wrong and it is true that some blacks do speak properly and the same percentage of any race, explain to me an opinion she expressed and show proof her statements were wrong, then you can prove me wrong

[eatherdrive]

@pete33685 Whether some Black people "do talk proper" or not is irrelevant from her job description. Her 'opinion' was not only inaccurate, it was immaterial the transaction. The company agreed with that assessment. The situation was settled, accordingly.

[pete33685]

@eatherdrive as iv asked and you have not answered what opinion did she state other than "some black people do speak proper" and thats not even opinion, so what opinion did she state, and you should be proving her statements wrong about the area she talked about but obviously you cant, you only ignore the topics with everything you type, let me learn from a black man how they are still oppressed not by their own actions, can you stat any worse than the government racism against "whites"

[eatherdrive]

@pete33685 I've addressed everything you've said. You've clearly opted to either play dumb or be dumb in response. Either way... Back under your bridge, you go, troll.

[pete33685]

what opinion did she stat, she was relating to a customers concerns thats what you do in customer service and she did her job, stop being an unjust uber sensitive to the worlds facts

[eatherdrive]

@pete33685 Her entire commentary is opinion. Nothing she stated was fact. And nothing she stated was appropriate to her job description. <--- These are facts. Stop reaching.

[pete33685]

whats wrong with what she said, she said nothing racist, she was stating facts

[eatherdrive]

@pete33685 Define "facts".

[pete33685]

@eatherdrive ok you may need a little background info on me to understand this, growing up i was the other white guy at my school where i was bussed in, i grew up in a mixed neighborhood where everyone owned their home, 7 to 5 years ago the pussy gang members that couldn't cut it in the ghetto started bleeding over with government housing that used to be full of elderly people now its full of working age bums selling drugs now i live in a rental neighborhood

[eatherdrive]

@pete33685 Nope. I actually do not need your background info to know that whatever your background info may be, it's irrelevant to this incident. Your rant should be a personal diary or online blog entry. Not a response to the above video. One has nothing to do with the other.

[pete33685]

@eatherdrive and i see she shit she talks about every day, those problems are not about color its about bum people wanting something for free and all that does is keep them down because they never had to learn how to work like i did, I fuck up my senior year in HS dropped out started working at subway, bought a HS diploma became a manager at 19 payed my way through collage now im in corporate i did it all my self because i had to i dont want help from the government

[eatherdrive]

@pete33685 Your personal bio has nothing to do with this woman's on the job discriminatory practices. And nothing is 'free' -- especially not racially profiling the public on the job. Sorry, you don't get to violate other people's civil rights, not to mention company policy, for free. One way another, you pay. #realitycheck

[pete33685]

@eatherdrive I do believe it is true blacks do take more of a chunk of the free pie because they have created a culture that its ok and they owe you for something that didnt happen to them or their fathers, and all that does is hold them down because they dont have to work to live and feel they are suffering when only they can change it and my friend who is mulatto didnt have a father he started at subway then went to corporate before i did now he works for American express and he is younger

[eatherdrive]

@pete33685 Now you're just monologuing. Your diatribe has zero to do with the above clip. Focus.

[pete33685]

@eatherdrive so what do you believe she said that was racist she never stated an opinion and i was lettiog you know a little about me and my background so you couldn't say i was some rich white boy i grew up beside the ghetto now i live in the ghetto and went to ghetto schools where i was the other white kind why dont you let all my comments show up let the public decide or do you have a bi-est and a motive, WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE SHE SAID THAT WAS RACIST

[eatherdrive]

@pete33685 Actually, I am letting your comments post. And n ot so the public can decide. If you're performing for the public, perhaps you should cut out the middle man (me) and address them directly on your own time. What I am saying, in no uncertain terms, is I have no intentions of providing you a stage to perform. Either reply to the actual clip with observations relevant to the clip or not. "Not" will result in a monologue with yourself, not a dialogue with me.

[pete33685]

@eatherdrive now for facts she said nothing racist she never stated an opinion she said truth, she said what goes on in the ghetto they created for them selves and that just happened to be a black ghetto you can say the same about a trailer park of whites, the caller was the one talking about an area and she stated what she knew to try to protect a customer, i believe she would have said the same about a meth trailer park if the caller said they were in that area

[eatherdrive]

@pete33685 What she stated was not only untrue of the area she described, but it was 100% irrelevant to the transaction. It is not her job to work security for customers. It is her job to rent cars. Period.

[pete33685]

@eatherdrive the caller stated a concern with the area they stated they were calling from and she was trying to help them out with there concerns, thats customer service

[eatherdrive]

@pete33685 Wrong. She volunteered disparaging opinion of the minorities in that location, upon hearing the address. Customer services is determined by how ell you do your actual job. Warning White callers to stay away from Blacks is not her job -- renting cars is.

[pete33685]

@eatherdrive obviously you are the racist one, only releasing what you think helps your agenda you have a bi-est, you hold back comments and act like its open discussion she was relating to a concern that the customer had that is customer service, and she never stated an opinion that is her job

[eatherdrive]

@pete33685 Yes, it is I who is racist for exposing a racist. Brilliant. *side eye*

[pete33685]

@eatherdrive to prove racism you have to prove a bi-est you would need to show she would down play a white ghetto or a Mexican ghetto, not just stating how bad an area is that a customer is concerned about too, you have a false statment on the screen she stated no opinion only what she has seen, i would like to know what you considered racist in her remarks, because to me there are no racist opinions in her statments

[eatherdrive]

@pete33685 More ignorance. The woman tailored her company services based on race. She even made it clear at the end that she would have "bout died" if she'd discovered she was talking to a Black person. If she was only providing colorblind customer service, she would not have been concerned about the race of the caller being Black. Use some common sense, sir.

[pete33685]

@eatherdrive well you know first hand that blacks are uber sensitive of the degrading culture the created of them selves and if anyone talks about it in the real world then they will be attacked as racist, she stated on opinions to call her a racist is wrong she was relaying what she had seen to a customer's concerns now if you can prove she made false statements then you can prove racism or a bi-est, like iv asked relay one despairing opinion she stated to me it is true some blacks dospeakpropr

[eatherdrive]

@pete33685 The title of the video clearly states that the manner of racism in question (on display in this clip) is 'linguistics profiling'. There is ample proof of that in this very clip. She clearly states herself that she assumed she was talking to a White person; and would not have said what she did if she knew otherwise. You do not need another clip or further information to hear that. Focus.

[pete33685]

@eatherdrive why dont you put the background in formation i put on here to put my remarks into context

[eatherdrive]

@pete33685 Um... All of your comments have been approved. Perhaps you should refresh your browser in between rants? Catch your breath and pace yourself.

[pete33685]

@eatherdrive well i had to wait on you to approve them so you could put up the appropriate ones for your page, but still she stated no opinion only relating to a concern of the customer's thats what you do in customer service, if you wanted to prove racism, then you need to be showing a video of the area she is talking about, and prove its not what she said it is, that would prove a bi-est and a bi-est will prove racism you have done neither, and since you haven't you probably cant or you would

[eatherdrive]

@pete33685 All of your comments have been posted. Not sure why you keep saying they're not, unless you're still performing for the "them". But you and I both know every one of you comments have been posted. at any rate, linguistic profiling is clearly established in this clip, by the woman herself. She flatly says it at the end of the clip. I'm sure you heard it, but simply refuse to 'hear' it. Well, that is not my issue. I heard it and so did the higher ups in her company -- to her chagrin.

[creeball]

he shoulda said "well, actually......I AM BLACK" at the end. just to see how she woulda handled it. 

[StLukey7]

how stupid is this lady!!!

[riorio23]

The Woman never said anything racist. She is talking about demographics, and her comments are accurate. If someone mentions that blacks are statistically more likely to be poor or commit crimes is that racist? how about if someone cites the number blacks in prison? is that racist too?

[eatherdrive]

@riorio23 This woman's job is to rent cars, not espouse her opinion of local minorities. She is not a statistician reporting vetted researched facts. What she said was indeed racist and highly inappropriate. What do Black stats have to do with this transaction? Nothing.

[toastedduck]

"Some black people do talk proper"? Are you effing kidding me?? Turn that racist in to her supervisor or manager and get her ass fired. That is messed up... here's one white girl backing you up!

[ddsharper]

There can never be a civil conversation about what minorities go through without a forked tongue animal slithering in to disrupt. As if stormfront doesn't keep them busy enough. They do that on youtube, in countries and in space. Predators, invaders, evil group of people.

[hualahuises43]

I agree with nappyboy. They tell me to go back to Mexico bcuz I'm

Mexican.

[pissandwich]

OMFG! Now THAT is racism.

[pissandwich]

OMFG! Now THAT is racism.

[pissandwich]

OMFG! Now THAT is racism.

[jessicaminahan7480]

Wow!... and that's all I have to say about that... how sad ... "Some black people do talk proper" ... what a bunch of bull s***

[nappyboy30694]

as a first nations cree indian....when i hear shit like black people should go back to africa...i think to myself maybe white people should go back to europe.......

[eatherdrive]

Could this mean John Travolta's Black? *cue dramatic chipmunk*

[1989Alcira]

ONLY 5 THINGS TO BE VANISHE

1 - arabs of arabian peninsula they r semi negro .

2 - shiaa of iran they r semimongols & they r against us so kurds of iran r better for us .

3 - negro ppl they r stupid & ugly race so asians r better 4 us .

4 - quran or ISLAM its not from god its from arabs of the desert & full of terrorism , sex immorality & nomadism .

5 - most of english ppl not all of them

[nappyboy30694]

your should be on this list u stupid fuck

[ARMOROID5000]

Let's clarify something.

White people are NOT racist!

Unless you consider having discriminating taste between a polite, knowledgable, non-confrontational black person. VS. a scuzzy, dopey-pant wearing, drunken, drug addict/dealer who's menacing you like their next mugging target all because their " gangsta/thug."

Yeah.

That's REAL racist.

I'm sure the guy's a model citizen, but I'm not hanging around to check.

Seems he's making me real uncomfortable with that switchblade he's toying with.

[Doomessenger4654]

Everyone is racist or prejudiced in some form.

[eatherdrive]

Let's clarify something... ALL people are susceptible racism and to being racists themselves... Yes, (and this is going to sting a little, so brace yourself) White people are among ALL people, too.

[nappyboy30694]

white people made racism......with the KKK and nazi cracker shit...... so maybe u should get ur ass off your couch and do a little research dum fuck

[PrinceVegeta1984]

niggers are a disgusting plague on humanity. they should all be wiped from the earth. aids is helping OUR cause. black ppl are weak and fragile, like a 6 yr old girl with ms.  nothing but criminals, all of them.

[eatherdrive]

Oh, what would a race relations discussion on YouTube be without the "niggers" guy. And, voila, here you are, PrinceVagina1984. You people are hilarious. Doh! Did I say 'you people'? *sigh* Maybe I'm a racist, too. PC FAIL :)

[Thevideoclown]

it kinda sucks that everyone thinks black people talk a certain way.Only in america

[krissy4nik]

I love when she says "some black people do talk proper" when it should really be speak PROPERLY ...It's wonderful how stupidity is revealed in cute little ways

[V3NOMXIII]

The end was funny

[Sam29XJ]

I am amazed how the sound of someone's voice is associated with their level of education , where they live etc...Somehow everyone assumes that I'm also white by looking at my resume and listening to my voice until they see me in person....This is truly disgusting and needs to stop. I hope you go all the way with this..and yes she's right there are quite a few Black people that speak proper English.

[tnalzunique]

I used to live in Knox. right off Washington Ave. only a few blocks off the streets the lady mentioned. She failed to mention all the crackhead and homeless white and Hispanic people pissing on Cherry and Magnolia.

Tennessee is about as racist a state as it comes. Black men take a ride down I-40/I-75 toward Chattanooga in a nice car and see how soon you get pulled over for DWB. Knoxville is the only place I've ever been pulled over, 30 in a 45, for going too slow.

[Raffzeee]

Linguistics is fascinating

[ARMOROID5000]

No offence to any one.

I am a cabbie. Often times black people ride with me in my taxi.

Most people are really cool and I get along fine with them.

But somtimes I get a black passenger and I can instantly tell that they are a racist against whites. There is a feeling of instant tension. They are silent and barely cough out an address and won't make conversation in any way. It hurts my feelings because I'm a nice guy.

Yes I'm big, bald and white, but I never hurt anybody. WTF black people!!!

[vivecarocks]

when i ride a cab i'm quiet with everyone no matter what race...it may not always be a race thing if a black person rides in your cab and is quiet and doesn't say much to you. some people are just reserved-like myself.

[ARMOROID5000]

Yes, ma'am.

I bet you also have some courtesy and at least introduce yourself to the driver when they greet you politely. I'm also bet that you don't ask the driver to go to crackville, drive slowly and then say, "Yeah, this it. Stop here n' wait. I gotta' go inside to, er.. um, see my, uuh.. friend for a sec."

Knowing fully that the driver is now very uncomfortable and can guess your about to score drugs, making them an excessory after the fact, to a felony.

You may be nice but many aren't

[eatherdrive]

You watch far too much television, ARMOROID5000.

[eatherdrive]

You sound like you really need a hug, some therapy and a Prozac prescription, ARMOROID5000. Seriously, the real world is far more expansive and diverse than your world in the backseat of your cab.

[TheLoneJester]

I could have sworn you were gonna say "But seriously, I am Black," at the end after you laughed.

[roan180]

HAH! I when she says "Some black people talk proper." It's properly, bitch.

[MeAndHubbyToo]

@roan180 Exactly.

White Americans don't even seem to realize that outside of the US, people think THEY don't "speak proper". They say ignorance is bliss...

[k88098]

@roan180 Actually 'speaking proper' is proper English. Proper is an adjective as well. People also say 'Enter proper' 'Dress proper' and 'Be proper'. It's usually British, but some Americans speak that way.

[eatherdrive]

@k88098 Formally, she used "proper" improperly. In a colloquial (informal) American English context even words like "alright" (all right) are considered proper. Much of 'standard' American English is improper. Insisting on speaking improperly doesn't make our improper speech proper.

[eternalrythmz]

the truth is that akbarbaby steriotypes. end racism.

[akbarbaby]

the truth is that white people in America are not confortable around black people.

[maharvey907]

The truth is that SOME white people in America are not comfortable around black people and the opposite is true as well.

[MeAndHubbyToo]

@maharvey907 Why would we be? We were enslaved by them.

Jews aren't expected to be comfortable around nazis or their descendants or even germans for that matter. It makes no sense and smacks of dysfunctional thinking.

[Acronym77]

She is only expressing what she has witnessed in reality. Empiricism and experience trump accusations of racism spouted by those who want to extort folks.

[eatherdrive]

Typical no Scotsman fallacy. tsk, tsk.

[MENCADO]

"Do talk proper"

OOPS!

[wayafterthispinished]

white racists suck lets go shoot them {i am of course fantasysing cuz i dont even own a gun lol

[coffeebeaner]

Color-blind racism! Yay!

People get so upset when I try to say "white supremacy" instead of racism. Usually, I also critique capitalism, too. Together, racism and capitalism make the issue of oppression more complex--but it's also necessary to address patriarchy (or sexism).

[Acronym77]

You probably are an exponent of Cornel West, who also says "White Supremacy". But many groups see themselves as superior to Blacks. Not just Whites. It's patently a universal phenomenon. I.Q. tests also show this to be true, with Black Americans, Africans and Australian Aborigines hitting the basement when I.Q. tests are given. Even Mexican immigrants who barely have a grasp of the English language outscore Blacks on standardized tests. Is it any wonder why Blacks are deemed inferior?

[coffeebeaner]

Even if you were right, which I do not think you are, no one deserves to be exploited or oppressed. That's the same thinking that colonizers had which led to the American holocaust of natives.

Sick, twisted and pathetic.

[liltr44]

Actually African Immigrants score some the highest points on IQ test so your theory is wrong. I attribute it to poor school structure that don't teach black shit and then have the nerve to pick the dumbest idiot to give a test to. The lady deserve what she got she is at a PLACE OF BUSINESS NOT A SOCIAL BLOG! There's a time and place to do everything even be a dumbass!

[eatherdrive]

Your stats are as erroneous as your overall narrative, Acronym77, as liltr44 pointed out. Try again.

[Fayme20]

Lol. For some reason the two of you laughing together towards the end puts the icing on the cake for me. "I would just die if you said'I am black.' hahahahahaha" Lmao. Wow, she is just TOO ignorant for words.

[teemack]

alot ignorant/ a little racist. but glad you caught it, that ignorance is than sneaky cousin of flat out racism.

[Johnkim510]

priceless

[IfanSaer]

Fucking hell! Tear 'em another one, mate. Festering twats!

[illapine]

Me personally, when she asked, "Are you black", I would have told her, "As a matter of fact, I am." The conversation would have been a whole lot different afterwards. I bet you could have gotten anything you wanted after that. She might have even offered you some pussy to not tell anyone. I'm glad you tryin' to get some money off this shit. I support you, so just hit me with like 20 G's, would ya. If there is an article about this, let me know, especially when and where this was. Her name too.

[ARMOROID5000]

Figures. Always after the dollar. Screw the principle right ?Sumbudy gott'a get you sum munies'.

Greedy pig! You don't even really care do you?

[eatherdrive]

You DO realize that a lawsuit is not a lotto, right, ARMOROID5000?A lawsuit is simply an action or a suit brought before a court, as to recover a right or redress a grievance. Or more basically, a proceeding in a court of law brought by one party against another, esp a civil action. Where in those definitions does it mention anything about money? *pause* You're making an ass of yourself with your assumptions.

[gymer15]

stop racism, put a hault to crack cocain sales in compton.

[spiritgifted]

Since you are going to sue her, then you will have money to help O.J. Simpson find the REAL killer.

[eatherdrive]

And I pressume you're hard at working helping Robert Blake find the real killer?

[punksk8r]

i do belive that regardless of who she was talking to she should not be speaking like that, but racist to a point i dont think so i belive that she was steriotyping people in that part of town.

[eatherdrive]

Exactly. Regardless of whether it was race based (which it was) or not, it was grossly unprofessional and discriminate, to say the least.

[asskickingorange]

fucking raciust

[ncmoonshine]

i think telling someone which parts of town are dangerous is good advice , not racist. i would want to know where the hood is in a strange town , it may be lifesaving information. its sad that someone is getting sued for letting someone know that they are in a part of town that they could be attacked or killed?? i think you are looking to get paid.

[PisceanBeautyy]

There was no mention of any "dangerous" part of town, but plenty about "All those blacks walking down the street at night" as if people can not walk in their own neighborhood. I don't know where this is, but you've just assumed that because the part of town may be predominantly black that it is crime-ridden and dangerous. All black neighborhoods aren't bastions for death and violence, even is they are low income.

[ncmoonshine]

i know that not all black neighborhoods are dangerous , and there would not be any reason to warn someone about one that is safe would there??

[eatherdrive]

In the mind of a racist who views Black people as dangerous, there would be. Again, I say... The area I was calling from wasn't even the area she was debasing. There was NO relevance or reason for her to get into how 'ghetto' the Black people of the city were. Plus, if she was being such a Good Samaritan, why did she say she would not have said anything if she knew I was Black? Hmm?

[eatherdrive]

Bingo!

[eatherdrive]

Um... has the thought occured to you that the part of town she spoke of was NOT as she described? How you could come to that conclusion without even knowing the merit of her comments speaks volumes. And remember, please... this is only a PORTION of the conversation. Clearly other things were said that aren't in this brief clip that the suit is also based on.

[tcha0918]

Advising which area is safe might have been what she really intended but obviously she's a retard and doesn't know how to come up with a better way to say it. But no doubt she's deeply racist reflected by her language choice.

[ncmoonshine]

deeply racist?? you deeply exaggerate

[eatherdrive]

Perhaps, you're deeply in denial, ncmoonshine?

[joebholla]

i hope you win the lawsuit and i hope you get $1,000,000.

but remember...if you do..... send 75K my way.

:)

[MerkurX]

"Some black people do talk proper" !? Wow thats horrible.

[keyonda5069]

Wow!

[hslimak]

I just want to apologize to you for this treatment. I'm white and when something like this happens, it embarrasses me to the core. My kids will listen to this and learn from it. Discrimination is a disease spreading from one generation to the next. How can we still be so ignorant?

[AndysAlley]

What the "F" are you apologizing for? A guy who admits that he's working in a tough part of town (presumably a part of town with a high crime rate)? Or maybe because he said "yeah" several times while a potential customer blathered on about things that she claims to have seen?

You are an idiot, and this phone call showed nothing beyond the fact that someone answering a call from a potential customer will ignore their comments even if they are personally offensive.

Ridiculous.

[eatherdrive]

LOL! What conversation were you listening to? And did you even read the text? It's the female who is at work, not the male... he's the potential customer. Her disparaging of the area she spoke of is not only inaccurate, but also irrelevant to the transaction. Oh, the irony of you calling someone an idiot. Although, I agree that no one needs to apologize for this woman's actions, but herself.

[illapine]

After the response from Eatherdrive, I bet you feel like a complete dickface, don't you?

[eatherdrive]

The only person who should apologize for this woman's actions is the woman herself... and her superiors.

[slyiiiiiiiiester24]

Man you should not hold the names bro

[kayohem2]

its more embarrassment than anything. I know how it feels. i feel the same about Kanye West.

but I'd ever apologize to a white person for another black person's actions. you should never feel that you should have to apologize to a black person for something that you had nothing to do with and could do nothing to prevent. Your doing good to teach your children that just like white people, not all black people are bad. when you get past color, we are all human. some are good and some are bad.

[rockymiavia]

Racist bitch!
