Racist raises thousands after abusing child

[MiloMinderbinder925]

Please be aware that this article contains references to offensive language.

A woman was filmed in a park using racially aggressive language and has raised hundreds of thousands donated by white supremacists.

The area has a large Somali population and apparently overt racism is becoming more common. The woman was challenged for calling a 5 year old autistic child the 'n' word.

I saw this case on Twitter and the comments under the posts are very disturbing.

There are lots of people fundraising on the back of lot of questionable incidents these days.

The lady should not have used the racial slur even though it says the boy took her sons stuff, theres no excuse….However, having family who lived in an area in London with a large Somalian community, there tends to be a straw that broke the camels back moment. My family moved out but without listing all incidents, there were so many incidents involving Somalians with their children at school and in daily life, that if this news incident was anything like the experiences my family (and others I have known themselves from different backgrounds) of living in an area of similar demographic, I can understand how it got to the point that she went mad! Certainly don't condone it, but I would understand why it happened.

The fund raising part, is a bit meh as like I said so many from all backgrounds, fundraise now off the back of a wide array of incidents that that really is just another one.

The man who filmed it was a Somalian paedophile sex offender who was hanging around a children’s playground.

People have had enough.

He was rifling through her bag wasn’t he? The N word isn’t acceptable, but neither is stealing. And the man filming is a convicted paedophile, god knows what he was doing there.

There's no 'straw that broke the camel's back' for using a racial slur. Absolutely none.

Getting angry? Absolutely. Having an argument. Of course. But for your brain to go to a racial slur you have to think being a certain race is a bad thing.

If someone who was gay stole your car would you jump to a homophobic slur?

The 5 year old with autism was touching her son’s stuff - he took a toy from a diaper bag? Are you saying you’d react the same way?

No evidence that the man filming is a convicted paedophile either.
Rochester's congressional delegation issued a joint statement commending him.

Here’s a better source.

I have heard people from all backgrounds using racial slurs when angry, I just said not condoning but if you are exposed to the same demographic in a negative way yes it becomes the straw that broke the camels back. We have no idea of what else this lady has experienced! This whole racial slurs are the worst crime a person can commit and overrides everything else in an incident needs to end. Look at the whole picture before passing judgement.

No picture justifies a racial slur. Hope that helps. Whatever she or anyone has experienced is not related to the amount of melanin in the skin. That may be hard for you to wrap your brain around but remains the fact. The fact that you think there is justification in any circumstance makes me think of slurs I can call you but when they go low, we go high and all that

I think it's very sad that people are empathising with a woman who racially abused a child. I can only imagine you'd do the same which I find despicable.

She lost her temper probably from already dealing with similar, had her baby picked up and was ready to leave and this pedophile on his moral high horse decided to start filming her and FOLLOWING her as she tried to leave. He was being deliberately incendiary by filming her and forcing a confrontation. Not sure why the 5yo was alone in a park to be rifling through other people's things unless it was his child, in which case the child has bigger things to worry about having a pedophile as a father. If people can donate to Karmelo Anthony, they can donate to this woman who doesn't deserve to be doxxed and lose her job over a word.

Can you link to evidence that he's a paedophile?

He wasn't her father and I don't believe she was doxxed as the police haven't been able to find her.

@hehehesorry

have you a link to the peadophile claim?

no mention of it in this article- he was commended by the authorities.

Yeah I saw this. I'd like to say I am surprised but I am not. She is disgusting and I'm not surprised to even see excuses on this thread.

Then you have heard lots of people being racist. That doesn't make it OK.

You are excusing her behaviour, which is pretty much the same as condoning it.

If a group of women are horrible to me on a night out, are you ok with me jumping to a barrage of sexist abuse? What if I was bullied by girls all through school, my last boss was a woman and made my life hell, and the woman who served me in the shop on my way to town was rude and obnoxious? (I'm a woman btw, just using a group I'm part of as an example for ease).

The right answer is no, just because you've had a bad experience with some women doesn't give you an excuse to insult the entire group, and that is what sexist language does.

The same with race. I don't care if every single Somali, Chinese, Māori, Phillipino, Pakistani (etc to incorporate every race on earth) person you have met has been horrible, you don't insult the entire group. And racial slurs never only insult the person they are directed at. They insult everyone who shares the same heritage. It's not something that can be excused (unless you genuinely think that some ethnicities are inherently bad or lesser than you, in which case, clearly you're racist yourself).

If there are issues linked to particular groups of people, we can address them without blaming or insulting the entire group. We can look at ways to combat sexual violence perpetrated by men, FGM, forced marriage, honour killings, drug addiction etc. We can acknowledge that there may be specific cultural norm/practices/beliefs or other factors (poverty, trauma, disenfranchisement etc.) that make them more of an issue within specific groups, and we can use this information to make positive changes. But this doesn't mean that we can walk around insulting and blaming entire groups of people for the actions of some.

Edited to add this is a reply to @Winlan81

The slur was unnecessary, and shows that she does have racist attitudes. Doxing her wasn't right either (two wrongs don't make a right)

I think there are also some questions around the child aside from the racism. Why was a five year old boy on the spectrum not being supervised? Why didn't whoever was supposed to be supervising him stop him from rifling through her bag (why would any 5 year old be doing that TBH)

Is there any evidence she was doxxed?

The child's parents were in the park but were dealing with their other child. I'm not sure how a 5 year old rummaging through someone's stuff deserves to be racially abused.

The man said: “We’ll see about that, what the internet has to say about you.”

Why do that rather than going to the police, except to bring the wrath of the internet down on her? Do you think that trial by internet is the right way to deal with this?

A 5 year old rummaging through someone's stuff doesn't deserve to be racially abused, as I (and many others) have said.

A 5 year old also shouldn't be rummaging through people's stuff, or left unsupervised if that is something they are liable to do.

Both things can simultaneously be right. Bad things happen to racists too.

Why didn't whoever was supposed to be supervising him stop him from rifling through her bag (why would any 5 year old be doing that TBH)

Perhaps because the child wasn't rifling through the bag?
The use of the word rifling suggests that a judgement has already been made that the intent was theft.

The Cambridge dictionary defines rifling as "searching quickly through something, often in order to steal something, but a 5-year-old might take something out of impulse, curiosity, or misunderstanding rather than malicious intent.

He should have been stopped from touching someone else’s bag, regardless of his intention.

It’s a tactic some thieves use; getting their children to take things.

There is some disgusting racism on this thread. Unbelievable that anyone would try to justify or excuse the use of a racist slur towards a 5yo child. Shame on anyone who does this.

I really don’t think using a racial slur against a 5yr old is ever acceptable or understandable. Saying “oi get out of my bag” would have been enough.

What on earth is going on, on this thread!?!

Seriously condoning this behaviour because a CHILD touched a bag!?!

A 5 year old child..

Using a racial slur is fine if you're angry? Shouldn't even enter your head.

@Helpmeplease2025 Are you suggesting that the child's parent is a thief? With respect, if not, why is this snippet about thieving tactics relevant?

To summarise unevidenced thoughts on this thread:
The person filming is a paedophile.
The mother could be a thief.
It's ok to be a racist if you're angry.

Do better people, we're supposed to be homo sapiens!

You should read the comments under the video. One woman sent hundreds of dollars saying "Minorities have been policing our language for too long."

She's been a lightening rod for white supremacists. As you can see here, this man has been called a paedophile and the autistic child blamed for her behaviour.
