What has the world become? Bakery outside of oberlin college catches a few shoplifters that happen to be black so the university ceased business with them and accused rhem of racism. https://bakersfieldnow.com/news/nation-world/family-bakery-awarded-44m-in-racism-dispute-with-oberlin-college PS. tagging “woke” companies where URMs / women could do no wrong.
Are you racist yourself? /s
Liberal logic
Identity politics. You are not you, you are your race or your ethnicity group.
How dare you? You think so only because of your white privilege
If you racially profile your customers and only search/confront the black ones, you're being racist, regardless of whether you happen to catch a few actual shoplifters. Nobody is saying the shoplifters weren't wrong: they got charged too, if you read the article. The racist profiling is separate from the (satisfactory) results of the profiling.
R u implying that everyone was stilling, but they caught only black kids , simply because bakery owners are racists?
I'm not saying everyone was stealing. I'm explaining how this isn't a matter of "catching black people", it's a matter of profiling, separate from what the people they caught did.
Because they never catch any of the white shoplifters and they “catch” a lot of black people who aren’t shoplifting. That’s racial profiling.
Did you read the article? They’ve been catching people stealing over the years and the outrage only happened when the kids caught were black. Where’s the profiling? Or did you make it up?
Better article or with less political slant here. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/oberlin-college-president-defamation-lawsuit-verdict-gibsons-bakery-44-million-libel/
The college president was just being a politician and not answering questions. The college stopped all business which costed a lot of money. The dean called them a racist establishment. She was dodging and spinning words the entire interview.
Aaiirr — all that you mentioned is hearsay and not at all in line with the facts. Might be good to take a deeper dive into what actually happened. Don't rely on the article you just shared.
The truth is - U can’t believe a word of nowadays media, every interested party will tell your their version of the story
Yep. Media is so fkd up
One of the things interesting in the article is the underage shoplifter maintained that he was innocent. This sparked the protests. It wasn't until some time after that he admitted wrongdoing (although some argued it was coerced). It's an interesting distinction between whether the school is at fault or not. And it sounds like the school isn't. Also, noone is saying they are racist after the fact. It was in the moment, there was no evidence to suggest he stole anything. Zero. Thus it fueled the belief that he was targeted based on race. Post confession things simmered down. The slant of this article and subsequent post takes a pretty big leap to suggest that this has to do with good honest shops being constantly demonized. In reality this is just the power of digital mobilization and the hyperreactionary world we live in now. Black white. Conservative Democrat. Anything is rustled up into a frenzy to rally the base and when the dust settles sometimes...it turns out...folks were wrong. Happens more now because of current social and political climate + the fast and nearly immediate reach of social media. Anyway, we can do better to just simply wait for the facts to come out before going all in. Cheers.
It’s a rare posts like this one - make me read blind.
Why isn’t the school at fault? Shouldn’t they wait for facts before condemning the shop?
