(5,308 posts)if you're blocking a senior person's access to stairs well THAT'S JUST RUDE. Be considerate.

(16,076 posts)old lady could have gone up the other side of the rail or a few feet away. She seemed to be walking fine and I doubt she'd have yelled at a white dude about stretching on the stairs.
People do that, especially when running.

What I wouldn't do is scream like a demented banshee racial or ethnic insults.

(79,293 posts)2:42 PM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... cops have now spoken to the young woman exercising at the park and we're told police took a report for misdemeanor criminal threats. Our sources say cops are now working to locate the woman who spewed the racist tirade. When cops wrap up the investigation, we're told they'll submit the case to the city attorney.

"cops have now spoken to the young woman" (no name)
"we're told police took a report"
"Our sources say cops are now working to locate the woman who spewed the racist tirade."...again no name.
"When cops wrap up the investigation, we're told they'll submit the case to the city attorney."...another heaping helping of nothing.
I'm not saying it's impossible stuff like this happens, but it just looks like set up bullshit.
The woman doing the stairs puts her phone down to record ...as near as I can tell her face is never visible. The 'racist' woman walks by going up the stairs, and there's no problem...then less than 30 seconds later the 'racist' woman comes back down the stairs, and there's a problem.
And they get into an Internet worthy war of words....while 'racist woman' is wearing a floppy hat and sunglasses.
And now, supposedly, the cops are looking for her. For what?
In my opinion, this is two people reaching out for their fifteen minutes of pseudo-fame.

The life of the Racist Moron in that video is going to be extremely unpleasant once her identity is known.
Yes Virginia, Racists Do Exist.

(2,199 posts)I'm just saying that this particular instance looks like some set up bullshit.
The 'victim' isn't identifiable. The perpetrator is pretty much wearing a disguise...and walks past the 'victim' twice within thirty seconds.
Just seems staged to me.

Having waited on a long line to get in the FM these days wearing my mandatory mask, I can totally believe some MAGA saying that crap!!! Still a lot of HOAX idiots nearby...

(2,199 posts)The racist woman (while going up the stairs) walks past exercise woman once, and nothing is said. Nothing happens. Everything is ok.
Less than thirty seconds later, racist woman comes back down the stairs, and still nothing happens...they don't bump into each other, or anything...one of them just say's 'jesus'.
Then, it's 'let's get famous' time.
But they've both gone out of their way to not actually be identified.
I could be wrong. I've been wrong before, and I'm sure I'll be wrong again. But, I've been right plenty of times too.
To me, this looks like two people trying to be quasi-famous. I guess time will tell.

(9,998 posts)Not too long ago, Jussie Smollett tried to fake an incident. It didn't work out too well for him.
If these people were staging some sort of gag, the truth is more than likely to come out at some point. If it was fake, they'll regret the decision.
I still believe the chances of that are Zero.
