Woman at Home Depot cites 'white power' as reason she's 'entitled' not to wear a mask.

Published 19 hours ago on July 5, 2020
By Tom Boggioni

In a video posted to Twitter that reportedly took place in Illinois, a white woman held up her phone to keep from being filmed not wearing a mask while standing in line at Home Depot — then telling her accuser that she is “white, a woman and entitled.”

In the video, the woman can be seen using her phone to block her face from being seen, at one time giving her filmer the finger, and twice during the encounter, she reaches out to knock the other phone away.
The incident began after she was called out for not wearing a mask and, at first, she refused to speak, later saying that she is “white” and therefore “entitled.” After later admitting that she “believes in white power,” the woman filming her accuses her of being a “disgusting, racist piece of trash.”

They certainly are feeling brave and powerful. It's almost like someone(?) made it ok.

"See, I'm saying you're saying that, and it's like you're actually saying that!"

Why does she have a diaper sticking out of her pocket? WHITE power, I guess!

These people.

This was a stunt for her channel as she apparently livestreamed parts of it.
This deranged idiot put on a mask to get into a target, then got rid of her mask to film herself having a fit at a display of masks.

I can’t tell whether the white woman is being sarcastic or whether she’s being straight-out honest when she asserts her white-woman privilege and claims to believe in white power.

Either way, wouldn’t it have been easier to just put on a mask and pretend to care about the health of your fellow citizens?

I am not defending her, obviously, but she doesn’t sound committed to the things that she is saying.

So she has a mask, but refuses to actually wear it. So I don't know what her actual deal is.

9. Yes, I guess you could take it that way, to me just more arrogant and condescending.

But in any event, sarcastic, arrogant, condescending, who in their right mind would engage another person like that unless you felt entitled.

17. Is it considered assault that she smacks the phone recording her?
Mon Jul 6, 2020, 03:01 PM

CLEARLY there was physical contact made when she smacked away the phone filming her--twice. She ADMITS she touched the person making the video when they have the exchange about what would happen if she "touched" her again. (I'll grant you that it isn't smart to threaten somebody while recording their transgressions, but...) I think I'd try to file a police complaint. Maybe it would be laughed at, but I'd sure try.

Does anybody know if she's been ID'd yet?
