Karenism (a.k.a. ethnic profiling by civilians)
DIR By: 90sRetroFan

OLD CONTENT
It appears we have a growing problem of racist civilians
(whether out of pathological paranoia or deliberate intent to
harass their victims) calling the police on innocent people just
going about their daily lives, apparently just because they are
"non-white". This phenomenon has been on the rise ever since the
infamous and much-discussed Starbucks incident in Philadelphia:
--- Quote ---
> He thought nothing of it when he and Robinson, his business
partner, were approached at their table and were asked if they
needed help. The 23-year-old entrepreneurs declined, explaining
they were just waiting for a business meeting.
>
> A few minutes later, they hardly noticed when the police
walked into the coffee shop until officers started walking in
their direction.
>
> “That’s when we knew she called the police on us,” Nelson
said.

slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/04/how-raced-spaces-explain-the-philadelphia-starbucks-arrests.html
with many more such incidents recently. According to these
racists, if you are "non-white" in the (Trump administration)
US, you are acting suspiciously enough for the police to be
alerted if you are:
1) swimming:

5) again, sitting in a Starbucks:

6) waiting for vehicle assistance:
www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/charlotte-north-carolina-apartment-white-woman-black_us_5bd514dae4b0d38b588432c4
among other activities that are considered no cause for alarm if
performed by anyone else (except Muslims, of course, who have
had to put up with even worse unjustified suspicion by
Islamophobes ever since the 9/11 Zionist false flag). It is not
just the emergency-dialling civilians who are behaving badly;
what is more worrying is the police response to such blatant
non-emergencies. In a sane world, if what the caller describes
to the police is not a criminal activity, the police should
either not be bothering to turn up at all, or should be turning
up to arrest the caller for making a malicious hoax call. For
the police to take such calls seriously is a sign of either
collective insanity or a silent but planned agenda to bring back
Jim-Crow-era standard practice. This would make phenomenon of
disproportionately "black" victims in shooting deaths by on-duty
police officers (as BLM has admirably drawn attention to) much
more easy to understand as a symptom of a deeper renormalization
of the historically normal Western attitude towards "black"
people in collective subconsciousness, which in turn is merely
one element of the traditional Western civilization that the
Alt-Right is trying to revive as we speak.
Experimental research also indicates this is occurring:
--- Quote ---
> White paid undergraduates, observing a videotape of purported
ongoing interaction occurring in another room, labeled an act
(ambiguous shove) as more violent when it was performed by a
Black than when the same act was perpetrated by a White,
indicating that the concept of violence was more accessible when
viewing a Black, as compared to a White, committing the same
act. Causal attributions were also divergent. Situation
attributions were preferred when the harm-doer was White, and
person (dispositional) attributions were preferred in the
Black-protagonist conditions.

Has to be seen to be believed. In a sane world, the police would
send someone to arrest the 911 caller for wasting police time on
non-crimes! (At least the commenters are on our side,
though.....)
---
From the video:
"I stood up for myself because I had the right to. The laws of
every state and how to handle police interactions have been
embedded in my mind because you have to be ready for these
things at any moment as an African American person..."
It's worth nothing just how useless this mentality is in the
face of a hostile force that does not care about the laws and
"rights" it puts itself into place.
---
At this stage, releasing videos like this and then watching the
response of the police department is a good way to gauge what
response is required. If the police department fires the officer
and arrests the caller, then at least we can continue to trust
the rule of law. On the other hand, if no official action
against the officer and caller is taken no matter how high up
the system we appeal to, then armed citizens (preferably
paramilitarily organized) need to start taking matters into
their own hands.
Meanwhile, more incidents:

close friend some years ago, he stalked the streets, cosh in

supremacy that holds black people as collectively responsible
for individual transgressions.

> If the rapist had been white, I doubt Neeson would have
stalked the streets looking for any white man to attack. The
fact that he solicited this information from his friend
unprompted showed an active desire to project onto his friend’s
assault the trope of the savage black brute, a black man with
uncontrollable sexual appetite that must be tamed into
submission like an animal.
>
> It begs the question of just how many black people have been
the ill-fated victim of white rage, of how many people who enact
such indiscriminate violence hold positions in law enforcement
and other fields, which offer convenient justification for the
use of excessive force against monstrous black bogeymen with
impossible strength and speed.
> ...
> Neeson wanted an excuse to play out a sick, racist fantasy,
after having asked for the race of the man who raped his friend,
completely unprovoked. Although the facts are limited to what
Neeson divulged in the interview, I cannot explain away the
relevance of a rapist’s race in this context, beyond seeking out
the information to affirm his pre-existing prejudices against
the monstrosity of the sexuality of black men, and the threat it
has historically posed to white masculinity.
> ...
> If Liam Neeson had told the Independent that, following the
sexual assault of a dear friend, he had stalked the streets
looking for her attacker, I would not be writing this article.
--- End Quote ---
I would put it even more succinctly. Since the rapist is male,
and so is Neeson, why did Neeson not react by killing himself?

So basically the accuser just spotted the guy in the mall and
decided to get him arrested for being "non-white".

Suing is not good enough. There should be criminal charges
against the callers.
Also, positive profiling is another form of profiling:

www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/teacher-says-her-students-were-racially-profiled-boston-art-museum-n1009251
--- Quote ---
> On Thursday, May 16, 2019, some of the 7th grade students as
well as the 7th grade teachers went on a field trip to the
Museum of Fine Arts to look at some exhibits to enhance what
they’ve learned in their history class. I should add my students
are ALL black and brown. At the very beginning of the tour, one
of the staff gave an overview on what to expect and told the
kids no food, no drink, and no watermelon (we didn’t know they
said this until the end). There were other groups of students
that were there, but those students were white. We were
instructed not to touch any of the artifacts in the museum, yet
the white students there touched the displays several times
while security looked on without saying anything. The minute one
of our students followed suit, the security guards would yell at
them that they should not touch exhibits. Throughout our walk
through, they followed us. Many of our students grew agitated.
At the end, we went through the gender bending exhibit where the
security guard followed our every movement. It got so bad that I
started gathering our students so we could leave. I was pulling
one of my students to come out the exhibit, when she said that
one of the visitors made a comment towards her when she was
dancing to music included in the exhibit. The visitor said
that’s it’s a shame that she is not learning and instead
stripping. That’s when I had it. I told them we are leaving
right now. The security guard following us in this exhibit,
literally walked us out and yet again tracked our movements. He
did not do that for ANYONE else there. When I told him I did not
appreciate him following our students, he said that he was just
doing his job. As we were walking out, our students were
standing in the doorway of the Africa exhibit. We had them clear
out the doorway so people could pass by. This lady walks by and
says, “Never mind there’s fucking black kids in the way.” And
ironically she says this in the African exhibit. We reported all
these incidents to the staff at the MFA, and they just looked on
with pity. They took our names and filed a report. Their only
solution, they will give us tickets to come back and have a
“better” experience. We did not even receive an apology. The
worse part about all of this is seeing the hurt look on my
children’s faces as this was their first time experiencing
racism first hand. It’s sad that although our students are well
behaved and our teachers are well educated, that we are still
seen as less than and as criminals. I cannot stress to you
enough, I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THE MUSUEM OF FINE ARTS. They
will not see a dollar of mine. If you are a person of color,
please do not support this museum until they improve how they
treat people of color at their institution. Please feel free to
share this. I will not stop until action is taken and people are
held accountable.

about. Maybe one day they will join us.

I have experienced similar encounters with similar middle-aged
"white" women and there was always a pattern where they would
chastise me using paternalistic language. This is because they
view anyone who is different from them as being "abnormal".
Unfortunately , the False Left also uses such language, which
only reinforces this worldview.

Rightists are using the “self defense” narrative and claiming
that Arbery charged at McMichael first, thereby prompting
McMichael to fire his shotgun.
---
This must be the same definition of "self defense" as used by
the IDF when massacring Palestinians!
George Zimmerman also claimed "self defense" back in the day
when, just like the McMichaels with Arbery, it was he who
decided to confront Trayvon Martin in the first place.
Zimmerman's case was even worse because even the police
explicitly told him not to confront Martin, and he disobeyed.
Yet he still got acquitted.....
Arguably, the Zimmerman acquittal back then contributed to
emboldening the McMichaels to kill Arbery. And if they get
acquitted too, it will embolden even more rightists to do the
same thing to other innocent victims.
Whereas if a true vigilante had assassinated Zimmerman after his
acquittal, the McMichaels might have had more to fear, and
consequently Arbery might be alive today.

That was kidnapping. If the residents wanted to record his
number plate, let him go and then call the police on him, fair
enough. But to physically block him from leaving is initiated
violence which demands retaliatory violence. He should have been
carrying a firearm and used it.
---
HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BbOJM8p1yY
What this shows is that McMichael previously attempted to
confront Arbery. This then prompted Arbery to run away from him,
and into the construction site. Then when Arbery entered and
left the construction site again on his fateful day, the
McMichaels again chased him down.
This confirms what we already knew; the McMichaels specifically
sought to confront Arbery with “citizen’s arrest” based on bogus
and unproven burglary charges*, and that the McMichael’s already
had a bone to pick with Arbery, which again we already knew from
the father’s history as working for the DA’s office pursuing
prosecutorial charges against Arbery.
*Apparently, “reaching into his pocket” and being the same
ethnicity as the alleged burglar is enough to suspect someone of
committing that crime. Unfortunately, it is likely that this
defense will get the McMichaels acquitted, given the probably
racist jury. Also, how does this behavior warrant a 911 call in
the first place? The police should have arrested the McMichaels
for making unnecessary emergency calls about such behavior, if
not on the first time then at least on the second.
P.S. Notice anything about the McMichaels’ attorney, Robert
(((Rubin)))?

This is how racists maliciously invert everything. Asking them
not to come close to oneself (while "non-white") is "threatening
their life". When you go on racist blogs and they talk about
their lives being endangered daily by "non-whites", most of the
time this is what is probably really going on. This is how they
can colonize all over the world for centuries and still claim to
be the victim.

> Last week Amy Cooper called the cops on a black man in a park
for asking her to put her dog on a leash. This week protestors
are marching through the streets all over the country demanding
justice for George Floyd and an end to police brutality, and
yet, in the midst of all of this, a racist and moron in New York
called the cops on a black woman for sitting in a park.
>
> Svitlana Flom, who self-identifies on her Instagram as a
“lifestyle entertaining expert” and reportedly co-owns Madison
Vivienne, a French restaurant in New York, called the cops when
she saw a black woman sitting in a park. The woman, who has been
identified as @_brownsugarbaby on Instagram, shared several
videos of Flom calling the cops on her and says the incident
started because Flom “was too ‘alarmed’ that I was sitting
‘comfortably’ in ‘her neighborhood.'”
>
> The black woman seemed to be enjoying a sunny day in the park
near her apartment building on the Upper West Side when Flom
lost her goddamn mind.
>
> “From 6:15pm – 7:31pm this woman, Svitlana Flom, felt the need
to not only approach me but call the cops MULTIPLE TIMES ON
ME!!” @_brownsugarbaby wrote on Instagram. “The first call was
because she THOUGHT I was smoking in public…but by the 3rd call,
it was bcuz I was ‘threatening her & her children !!’”
>
> As @_brownsugarbaby calmly sat on a bench, Flom made a series
of manic phone calls to police. At one point she claimed that
@_brownsugarbaby was “pulling the black card,” at another point
she cried and told the cops that “this is unacceptable” though
it’s unclear what is so unacceptable to her? Flom also demanded
that the police make @_brownsugarbaby delete the Instagram
video, which is the most white privileged thing to ask the cops
for.
>
> In the video, Flom — who is visibly pregnant – makes 911 call
after 911 call as her husband straight-up walks away and Flom’s
kids ride bikes and play in the background, which is suspect
considering Flom kept yelling to the police how the woman was
“attacking me and my children.” The most insane part is that as
Flom waited for the police to arrive, she calmly sat across from
her supposed attacker. How much danger are you in really if your
husband peaces the eff out, your kids keep playing nearby
unfazed, and you sit down next to the woman you called the cops
on!?

> The basis for identifying bias in such tests is how quickly
people associate white or black faces and names with concepts
like “good” or “bad”. Research has shown that white people are
quicker at associating white faces or names with the concept
“good” than they are for black faces or names.

Surely, there would be no implicit racial bias here. Not so. We
found a medium to strong implicit pro-white bias in white
participants. This was regardless of what attitudes to race they
reported that they had.
>
> We also studied the shortlisting process for academic jobs
experimentally. We presented participants with the CVs of four
job candidates – two white, two BAME – for various positions
with identical (but rotated) CVs. We also used a remote eye
tracker to see what part of the CV they looked at on a computer
screen.
>
> We found that white experimental participants were ten times
more likely to shortlist two white candidates for a lectureship
post than two BAME candidates with exactly the same CV. We also
found that white participants spent more time looking at good
information on the CVs of white candidates and bad information
on the CVs of BAME candidates.

of Lords last year, he went through all the usual security
procedures and was asked to take a seat. Williams, a Black man,
was then approached by a white woman who asked him why he was
sitting there. She asked him to move and, believing that he was
sitting in a restricted area, he agreed.
>
> “I got up to leave, and she immediately went from 0 to 100,”
Williams said. “She said, ‘Why are you raising your voice?’ ”
She approached the armed security guards, a white man and a
Black woman. Williams said he was calm throughout. “I wanted to
report what just happened, but they said, ‘There’s no point.
She’s one of the most senior people in the House.’ ”

bit of recognition when you have a white person who perceives
you to have less rights than they, and they to have more rights
than you,” said Rich Benjamin, author of “Searching for
Whitopia: An Improbable Journey to the Heart of White America.”

right to police you and police your presence, and that implies

> ‘A perfected art of demonizing Black men’
>
> Terence Fitzgerald, a clinical associate professor of social
work at the University of Southern California and author of
“Black Males and Racism: Improving the Schooling and Life
Chances of African Americans,” said Amy Cooper’s 911 call is a
prime example of the kind of leverage that white people can use
any time they see fit. “She knew exactly what strings to pluck,”
Fitzgerald said.
>
> “It goes beyond just calling her a racist or saying what she
did was racist,” he said. “We’re talking about systemic racism,
and relying upon a story that has been morphed, honed and
perfected throughout time. Politicians have used language with
roots in that fear. We are recycling it over and over and over.
It’s become a perfected art of demonizing Black men.”
>
> Fitzgerald said the U.S. media did not put the Central Park
video in context. “I watched the reaction of newscasters. It
really underestimated the situation. It really didn’t give her
the credit or due diligence for what she was doing,” he said.
“It’s the tactic that has been used since 1619, the tactic of
playing the victim, and knowing that the system would look at
her like the innocent one.”
>
> “It goes all the way back to ‘Birth of a Nation’ in 1915, the
portrayal of the white woman as the victim,” he said. “She
needed a knight to protect her from this dastardly devil, this
Black man. It was played in the White House for Woodrow Wilson.
This false narrative was passed down from generation to
generation. The hypersexed Black male, known for violence
against white women.”
>
> Fitzgerald said the protests over George Floyd’s death and
other such incidents, including the one between Amy Cooper and
Christian Cooper, represent a moment that Americans should not
just walk away from. “That does a disservice to the thousands of
Black men who have been lynched in the United States,” he said.
“This idea of protecting the chastity of white women was the No.
1 reason for lynchings.”
> ...
> One such murder: that of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old
African-American from Chicago, who was lynched in Mississippi in
1955 after being accused of offending a white woman, Carolyn
Bryant, in her parents’ grocery store. The all-white, all-male
jury took 67 minutes to acquit the two men accused of the crime.
One juror reportedly said, “If we hadn’t stopped to drink pop,
it wouldn’t have taken that long.”
> ...
> Cases in which fictitious Black men were accused of crimes are
too numerous to list, but some have caught the mainstream
public’s attention more than others. In 1994, Susan Smith, a
South Carolina mother of two, told police a Black man had driven
off with her young children strapped into the back of the car.
After her car was found in a lake, she was sentenced to 30 years
in prison for the murders of her 3- and 1-year-olds.
>
> Other fictitious allegations caught on like wildfire. In 1989
in Boston, a pregnant Carol Stuart was killed and her husband,
Charles, was shot after he said they were set upon by an
African-American man. During the manhunt, police were accused of
harassing Black men in their search for the killer, while some
politicians called for the death penalty.
>
> Mike Barnicle, then a Boston Globe columnist, defended the
dragnet: “Where, after everything they had been told, would they
expect the cops to start looking? The Myopia Hunt Club?” Charles
Stuart, it would soon be revealed, had cashed in his wife’s
$82,000 life-insurance policy, bought a new car and, before he
could be charged with his wife’s murder, jumped off a bridge to
his death.
>
> “The police and citizens were screaming for retribution,”
Fitzgerald said. “Police were harassing Black males and even
publicly humiliating them, and there was this lynch mob in the
city. Every Black male the police had run into were seen as
guilty, [with] particular men [told] to strip down in public as
they were searching them. It was about humiliation and control.”
> ...
> Darnell added, “This is the last piece I will ever write and
spend my sacred Black energy on that centers whiteness in this
way. I no longer have the patience or desire to be deferential
to those who get instinctively defensive and lean into their
white fragility to gaslight me into believing what I’m seeing
and feeling doesn’t exist or ‘can’t be that bad.’”
