Protest Held Outside Apartment Complex After Viral Video

You did not answer the question previously but you did now.

Great, I am happy that the protest " seems to have served its purpose."

GER8T - I've answered your question and you clearly don't like it. Yes, the protestors went home. Read the article. Consequences are that this racist was outed and shamed. Additional consequences my occur should she apply for a job somewhere, I don't know and that's not the point. The point is the protest seems to have served its purposes - bringing to light the racism that exists even in our paradise and shaming a woman for being racist and abusive.

My question stands, what will the town do with the knowledge gained?
If the goal is to ostracize her, has the goal been accomplished? Do all the protestors go home now?
You mention consequences, what are the consequences. Being ostracized? Or are there additional consequences?
And nowhere did I complain about the protest.

GER8T - Now the town knows to ostracize her. Now other racists in our town know that this kind of cowardly bs will not be tolerated. Now she knows she can't spew racism without consequences.

Are you really, honestly concerned about what this protest has accomplished or just trying to complain about a protest? Seems it did exactly as intended: shamed a racist and brought the issue up for discussion in our community. Total success.

OK, so now that the whole town knows of this violent racist old women, what does the town do with the knowledge the town has gained?

GER8T - This. This is considered successful because, thanks to this protest gaining news attention, the whole town knows of this violent racist old woman. Good job!

"KEYT reports the protestors were there to hold the woman accountable for her racist statement and actions. "

What actions will the protestors take to hold her accountable? What will be considered a successful protest?

I would wonder why there was a lot of noise outside and what was going on. I might even step outside and ask someone. When I woke up and read the story to learn about why they were protesting, I'd fully support the movement and maybe comment on Edhat about how I support it. I certainly would not comment and detract from the main issue to complain about the noise. Because the noise isn't the issue to this whole thing... see?

I'm not making excuses for her - what about the rest of the neighborhood that had to put up with this "peaceful" demonstration? Wouldn't you be intimidated with car engines revving outside your home when you had nothing to do with the situation?

And don't presume to know what my statement would be if the roles were reversed

Seems like you're triggered by being held to the same standard as anyone else.

Racism is bad. If you use the term "white people always" then you are literally saying every single white person every single time. That is literal racism, i.e., the assumption and belief that an individual's actions will always be predictable and predetermined by their ethnicity.

If you excuse racism that comes in one package and condemn racism that comes in another package then guess what--you racist AF.

Beyond that, you claim that "the majority of racists are white people". LOL. Bring the proof or be quiet. You ever been to Asia? You ever been to China? There are more Chinese people than white people on the entire planet, and Chinese culture is racist AF.

So, yeah, keep on trying to justify your own racism.

Alex, seems like you're triggered by the majority of racists being white people. Stating that as a fact doesn't make someone racist.

5:06, why's it that people who use the term "white people always" are so racist?

@4:53 Bullying/intimidating is NEVER OK. Many have forgotten that two wrongs don't make a right. Be the better person.

4:48, personally, I don't think that it is okay. I understand why they did it but I don't know that it helps the situation at all.

I think that a couple of people inviting her to have a calm and polite discussion about why what she did was wrong might have been a better approach. But, here's the thing, people like her have been shitting on people like for a loooooong time. And, historically, when that guy's community would dare to speak out, they'd get police dogs, batons and tear gas. The fact that they refused to stop speaking out is why we don't have that happening very much any more and decent people can go about their day with less likelihood of being attacked and shit on for their ethnicity.

Why is it white people are always looking for excuses for other white people's bad behavior?

Bullying/intimidating racists is OK. It's not a different point of view we're dealing with, they should be intimidated until they learn to either educate themselves or keep their hate in their heads and out of our community.

Thanks, Ed!

LOL, Kid5.

Also, LOL, Basic, I saw your deleted comment--I knew that would bring you out. You love interacting with me, obviously, you do it more than anyone on Edhat.

Why would you do something that you don't enjoy?

Oh, I know why. LOL.

Can't explain why I wanted the man who was verbally and physically assaulted to turn out to be the organizer of the protest and an activist .

Cloud, why would you "want the construction worker to be an activist."?

Yes, that would be pretty interesting!

Oh, how disappointing. I WANTED the construction worker to be an activist!

CLOUD - sorry to nitpick, but he's not. Edin was not the guy taking the video, it was a man named, Luis. There's an edited video on Instagram. The worker sent this video to Edin, who then organized the protest.

Yes, Edin E. is the same construction worker who is also an activist.

J. Umana taught law and society at UCSB

Also, the woman's name is Jeanne Umana.

CLOUD - is the worker you're thinking of or the person, Edin Enamorado, who posted the video?

Oh, interesting!

The construction worker is an activist who worked for Senator Bernie Sanders.

"Sliding Doors" is a movie with G Paltrow playing 2 alternate versions of her life in London.

Had the UC professor lady and the construction worker/activist met under different circumstances, she would not have shouted at him and physically assaulted him.

CLOUD - who are you talking about?

*"As equals* meant in her eyes.

Hammonds, are you serious? The harbormaster had someone remove a flag from their boat? That is one hundred percent not a legal requirement or request, I am really skeptical that this could have happened. If it did, the harbormaster would be one hundred percent in the wrong. There is no legal requirement that one fly any flag on their boat, at their house, car, or anywhere else in this country, just as there is no law barring the flying of any flag.

Hammonds--because the person attacked someone on the basis of their perceived nationality. It's likely that if the lady had attacked the guy for working on a Sunday or potentially working without a permit and she had not brought issues of nationalism "I'm an American and you're a Tijuajanan" there would have been no community response on that basis.

So when someone, for example, attacks someone for being gay, then you would expect people in the gay community to show up and wave a rainbow flag to show support for that person and others in that community who are being attacked. Make sense?

Now I have a question for you--is this a real question or are you trolling to try and perpetuate anti-Mexican sentiment?

The answer requires minimal critical thinking. It's a shame you can't get there.

Hammonds, probably because you don't see poor American immigrant populations in Mexico being racially abused by asshole racists. If you did, I guarantee you'd see lots of American flags being waved and marches happening.

Thank you very much, 11:21.

There is a shot of her on the KEYT report here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2v3og5INPg

She's very lucky. Most of these videos go national.

"Waiving a Mexican flag on American soil while wanting American laws to protect you" ...."but it doesnt mean it's appropriate or decent. " - You object to people waving the flag of another country while wanting our laws to protect them. You think "Viva la Raza" is racist. You can "justify" all you want, but like this old woman's comments, you are on the wrong side of humanity on this one.

Stew, again, your totally valid concerns about people obeying or not obeying the law when doing construction work are absolutely irrelevant to this.

Beyond that, your whole screed is so off topic and wrong it's laughable.

Here, educate yourself:

Many people incorrectly translate our name, “La Raza,” as “the race.” While it is true that one meaning of “raza” in Spanish is indeed “race,” in Spanish, as in English and any other language, words can and do have multiple meanings. As noted in several online dictionaries, “La Raza” means “the people” or “the community.” Translating our name as “the race” is not only inaccurate, it is factually incorrect. “Hispanic” is an ethnicity, not a race. As anyone who has ever met a Dominican American, Mexican American, or Spanish American can attest, Hispanics can be and are members of any and all races.

The term “La Raza” has its origins in early 20th century Latin American literature and translates into English most closely as “the people” or, according to some scholars, as “the Hispanic people of the New World.” The term was coined by Mexican scholar José Vasconcelos to reflect the fact that the people of Latin America are a mixture of many of the world’s races, cultures, and religions. Mistranslating “La Raza” to mean “the race” implies that it is a term meant to exclude others. In fact, the full term coined by Vasconcelos, “La Raza Cósmica,” meaning the “cosmic people,” was developed to reflect not purity but the mixture inherent in the Hispanic people. This is an inclusive concept, meaning that Hispanics share with all other peoples of the world a common heritage and destiny.

So you saw what wasn't on the video? No. You only saw what he wanted to show. Did he call her names prior and not show that part? I dont know and neither do you.

I am not white. So your assumptions are showing your true colors. Isn't that ironic.

This isn't worth my time. I said my peace. Your post exhibits the very problem I am trying to showcase better than I ever could.
