Althouse: "Me telling you to 'Go back where you came from. Did I say that? Is it on video?.... I called you a lazy b-i-t-c-h. That's the worst thing I said."

July 22, 2019

"Me telling you to 'Go back where you came from. Did I say that? Is it on video?.... I called you a lazy b-i-t-c-h. That's the worst thing I said."

"This woman is playing the victim for political purposes because she is a state legislator. I'm a Democrat and will vote Democrat for the rest of my life, so call me whatever you want to believe. For her political purposes, make it black, white, brown, whatever. It is untrue."

I'm reading "State lawmaker, man she accused of verbally harassing her confront each other" (WSB-TV Atlanta).

I got there via Andy Ngo ("Media machine has been blowing up story of @itsericathomas, who claims a racist white man told her to 'go back where you came from.' Well, he returns during her presser to deny allegation. He says he’s a Democrat & she’s embellishing story for attention"). Erica Thomas is a member of the Georgia House of Representatives.

Here's the raw video:

Ann Althouse said...: "But if there were 2 empty lanes, why didn't he go to the empty one?"

That question is asked and answered in the video.

The answer is, he did. He bought his stuff, then asked some store employee what could be done about people going through the express line with more than 10 items. He was told the store's policy is to do absolutely nothing, and it's up to the other customers. The idea seems to be that social pressure is the only enforcement. So he then decides to go up to her and say something. At the end of the video, he expresses disturbance with people who selfishly violate social norms. He seems to have decided that he needs to say something, so he went over to her to apply the social pressure.; 7/22/19, 10:35 AM

Still, this open black supremacy is interesting because it makes white people constantly more angry and frustrated with the notion that some talentless mooch can accuse them of racism, then BAM. Fired, ostracized, hounded by packs of psychotics demanding their death. People weren't yelling "Go back where you came from" at random black people at the start of the Obama Administration, they actually had hope that racial relations would openly improve. After Trayvon, and Ferguson, and countless other race skirmishes, the response of white America was to elect Donald Trump. As a signal, it's pretty intense. The step up from that is, "Damn right you should go back to Africa," even if their family has been here since the 18th century.

The guy involved is such an unsympathetic lefty that he might have realized that. He _ran_ out there to get interviewed, before she really got started. I don't really believe he did it to save her, but that is what happened.; 7/22/19, 10:40 AM

She is much larger than him. It's strange that he decided to confront her. Who does that?

Too many items in the express lane... everyone can identify with the frustration of the failure to uphold social norms... but he had open lanes so it had no effect on him. His violation of the norm of saying nothing is a little hard to identify with. But then she went public humiliating him, and she's a govt official and he's a nobody. That's an over-the-top violation of a norm.

It's a crazy spiral of norm violation.; 7/22/19, 10:41 AM

What do you mean by "theft"? Frankly, i never eat anything cold at a food bar. You don't know who's touched it or breathed on it. If i eat anything hot, i reached way in the back to get food that is possibly OK. But even then I feel like i'm taking my life in my hands.; 7/22/19, 10:42 AM

That he left the store, thought about it, and went back in to speak with her means he wanted to get something off his chest.

Confronting tall, overweight people when you're not the equal is size is something not recommending. At this situation shows why. This person has a HUGE chip on her shoulders; she reads racism into everything. She doesn't realize it yet, and may never will, that her behavior and accusations only cement in people's minds the stereotypes. Many times the stereotypes are very accurate.; 7/22/19, 10:51 AM
Jarby said...: Confronting rude and inconsiderate strangers in public is rarely worth it. They almost always KNOW they are being rude and inconsiderate--they just don't care, so confronting them gives them an excuse to make themselves victims. They've been "attacked!" "Berated!" "Targeted" because they are (insert category here).

Other times, and I've seen this happen, a stranger may SEEM like they are being rude/inconsiderate, but they are actually in the midst of some emergency or unavoidable situation. Confronting such people only causes them embarrassment on top of whatever tragedy they are dealing with.

Fernandinande said...: He says he's Hispanic and not white. (He also says that he is white, and I think I understand what he means.)

"Hispanic" just indicates some association with a country wherein they speak Spanish - like Spain. So it has nothing to do with race, although it's often misused to indicate race because the MSM and their ilk typically won't use the correct word for most people from Central and South America, namely "mestizo". A la "La Raza".

My two friends from Mexico are officially "Hispanic", although neither would ever use that stupid word, despite being genetically Jewish and German.

The guy in question certainly looks white, but it's probably irrelevant unless you're a whiny dishonest black woman.; 7/22/19, 10:53 AM

In my area stores resolve this by changing the signs to "about 15 items...". But I routinely see people in line with full carts.

Left Bank of the Charles said...: Do I get this right? The man is exonerated of racism if he just called the woman a "lazy bitch" as long as he didn't say "go back." Sigh.

I've always thought there is a huge misconception in some people's minds concerning the 10 items or less lanes at the supermarket. If you are buying $100 to $200 worth of groceries, there is nothing more annoying than being stuck behind several people who are just buying a few items. You're the better customer for the store, you get the favorable treatment, that's how a free market works. And you shouldn't have to suffer the ridiculous impatient fools behind you in line who think their few items entitles them to cut in front of you.

Now the store plays a little game of calling the 10 items or less lane the "express" lane, in order to entice the cheapskates to stand in the longer but ostensibly faster moving line and out of the way of their better customers. But shouldn't the better customers be able to choose any lane they want? The cheapskate shoppers see no problem to their doing that.

I've been in the 10 items or less lane many times. I know I'm free riding on the grocery story pricing. If I want convenience, I go to a convenience store and pay more.

Now I will admit that it is unfair to the other good customers to use the express lane when you have more than 10 items, as the good customers have a collective interest in promoting the idea that the express lane is faster for the cheapskate shoppers.; 7/22/19, 11:08 AM

Today someone retweeted her saying how excited she was to meet Jessie Smollett a while back when he was coming to Atlanta (before his "attack" I'm pretty sure).

But yeah, this short Cuban-American Democrat (who has himself made numerous posts about how awful and racist President Trump is) definitely told her to "go back to where you came from" even though she is now backing down from making that exact claim.

Watching the video it's just impossible to believe she actually acted like a "b-word," so he must be crazy and/or racist! Solid entertainment.; 7/22/19, 11:19 AM

something is off mentally with him. Mature adults don't confront mothers with kids in stores and swear at them.

HoodlumDoodlum said...: MikeR said..."Media machine has been blowing up story..." Nah - she got real lucky.

Counterpoint: the original story (before the various walk-backs and him getting on the news segment) was the top Twitter Trending Moment (or whatever it's called, on the banner at the top) for most of a full day. So that's at least one small part of the Media working to promote the story.

Twitter has a grossly outsized influence on Media coverage not because a lot of normal/nice centrist people read Twitter but because most of the Media personalities who actually deliver the news (anchors, producers, reporters, etc) are themselves Twitter junkies. That has significant distortionary effects--you're soon going to see more smart Democrats start talking up the difference between the Twitter Left and the general US population and the need to appeal to the latter even if it pisses off the former. The "Squad" as an example is wildly popular on Twitter but their ideas, such as they are, poll very poorly nationwide...but look at the coverage!; 7/22/19, 11:25 AM

From my twitter feed it appeared that the Shaun King's of the world were ready to blame Publix for this incident, as the man had left and his identity was not known. Have to go where the money is after all. And an unknown racist is a great foil for the narrative.

Unfortunately for her the "racist" showed up to defend himself. And instead of being a Trump loving white nationalist, he's a hispanic(?) anti-trumper. Narrative fail.

What's worse about these types is even when the truth is made plain to them by members of their own lunatic fringe who are a tad more reality-based these idiots still run with their conspiracy theories and false accusations.

For instance, on Althouseblog, Inga still believes 100% in the thoroughly discredited hoax dossier AND still believes that Brett Kavanaugh was a gang rape leader for decades.

Leftists and dems are desperate for racial incidents they can blame on Trump. The problem is there aren't near enough racial incidents occurring to advance the lefty narrative so leftists, the same type of leftists who make false accusations of gang rape against innocent men (like yourself), have to manufacture "racial incidents" and/or hype minor events into earth-shattering events.

Very similar to how you, Inga, and all your lefty pals attacked innocent Catholic High School students with your vicious racialist lies and even attempted to destroy the academic prospects of these innocent students and threatened them with violence.

Well that puts a different spin on it, and maybe that's how it went down. I can't see him as a reliable narrator regarding his adult maturity if he swore at someone in front of her kids. And if it's during the day at the grocery store there's lots of kids around. Swearing is not something a mentally hinged person would do. But obviously she should not have yelled and it's particularly bad because her kids were around.

If she yelled, a mature adult would withdraw from the situation. Not escalate. It's a public grocery store for goodness sake. Something's off.; 7/22/19, 11:55 AM

Dave Begley said...: Below is from NPR. That settles it! Holy writ.

"An admittedly unscientific question we posed online indicates that the "or less" crowd outnumbers the "or fewer" folks. Of the 8,390 people who responded:

-- 59.4 percent agreed that a sign saying "10 items or less" is something "only the fussiest of fussbudgets would worry about."

-- 40.6 percent felt that such a sign is a "grammatical error that shouldn't be tolerated and makes you want to shop elsewhere." (We suspect they realized our line about wanting to shop elsewhere was an exaggeration.)

Should the majority rule?

William Safire, the "On Language" columnist for The New York Times, came down firmly against signs that say "or less." In 1988, he cheered when Safeway Stores joined the "or fewer" side.

"The most power-intensive moment in the history of this column came when Safeway Stores was criticized here for 'Express Lane — Ten Items or Less' and promptly rectified the mistake," Safire wrote.

It's hard to argue against the legendary Safire (who died in 2009)."; 7/22/19, 12:12 PM
walter said...: Scenario reminds me of:

"Janet Mcdonald

I was going to the movies with a friend of mine from Yale who is black also. And there was a long line. And we were like, let's jump the line. These white people, they're going to be scared of us. We'll just go and jump the line. We'll get to the front of the line. So, of course, you know, we walked up to the front of the line, like, yeah, you want to try me? I'm black. That usually works in New York.

These people were ready to rip our hair out. And they were white. I couldn't believe it. And they were like, in French, what are you doing? The line starts back there. You can't just walk to the front of the line. They were, like, ready to kick our butts. I was shocked. I'm like, these are white people, and they're not scared of us?

That's when I realized I wasn't in Kansas anymore. And I liked it. I mean, of course, it was kind of humiliating, because you know, we're supposed to be the intimidating, scary ones. And then all these French bitches in high heels were threatening us. And they were in our faces. And it made me realize that the whole black-white game just doesn't work outside of the United States.

Because white people aren't afraid of you here. And at the same time, they don't hate you, because that sort of goes together. So I'll take it. I'll wait on line. Now I don't dare jump lines. So that opened my eyes."

That's how produce and egos get bruised.; 7/22/19, 12:44 PM
Drago said...: This fellow, being a lifelong democrat and hispanic, figured as all dems do that they have absolute moral authority to call others out in public with no repercussions.

Unfortunately for him, he does not sit as high in the Identity Intersectionality Totem Pole as he thought he did and the higher sitter upon said pole called him out.

Fortunately for him, she turned out to be a typical lefty "victim" liar, similar to Blasey-Ford, so she was exposed in short order.

All in all a couple of democrat jerks who deserve each other.; 7/22/19, 12:44 PM
dreams said...: "she has 20 items in the express lane? Damn that's rude.

Wait until Trump tweets out pictures of Squad Members in the express lane with more than 10 items.

The election will be over."

Trump already has a plan for the Squad Members.

Browndog said...: The entire point of this was to blame Trump. Had this guy not defending himself there would be town halls, congressional hearings, and calls for new hate crime legislation to address this racist epidemic Trump started.; 7/22/19, 12:45 PM

Yancey Ward said...: I never confront people in public over the violation of social norms like proper queuing and checkout lane usage- indeed were we in line and I just in front of the lady, I would have allowed her to go in front of me regardless of how many items she had.

However, I am not one bit surprised to find the guy who did confront her is a hard core Democrat- it fits the stereotype of such people.; 7/22/19, 12:47 PM
walter said...: Oh Inga, she sure seems capable of being on her feet for the presser, storming off when he gets the better of it.Another way to go would be to do it from a motorized handicap cart.
Inga just can't help but be conned by the "selfish bitch" turning this into a weepy racialized publicity stunt.; 7/22/19, 12:48 PM

pacwest said...: I wandered into the express lane with about 50 items in the basket once. I missed the sign. The clerk didn't say a thing and started checkling my items. About halfway through I caught the grumbling behind me and realized what I'd done. I turned and apologized to the people in line and got a buck of annoyed "no problem" responses. Apologized again as I left. Shit happens. Both of these people acted badly. Him at the checkout counter, and her by making some big deal racial in incident out of it. People, people, people.; 7/22/19, 12:48 PM
Yancey Ward said...: Pacwest,

I have done it by mistake before, too, but I caught myself before I reached the register. It happens. Once, the express lane was empty and the cashier tried to entice me into the lane, and I refused just because I knew eventually someone would come up behind me before I had finished checking out.; 7/22/19, 12:52 PM

Left Bank of the Charles said...: 'Anyone who needs just a few items from a grocery store is a "cheapskate"?'

I've been the cheapskate many times myself. But let's be honest, the store isn't making much from our business. The idea that we are entitled to expedited service while picking up our few items over other customers who are buying more is ridiculous.; 7/22/19, 12:52 PM
walter said...: Drago,
Maybe he will wear more identitarian clothing to make his status known.; 7/22/19, 12:52 PM
Quaestor said...: At the end of the video, he expresses disturbance with people who selfishly violate social norms. He seems to have decided that he needs to say something, so he went over to her to apply the social pressure.

"Lazy bitch," that some effective social pressure, yessiree, Bob.

A liar versus an asshole and both of them opposed to Trump. It's one of those gladiatorial contests where you want both sides to get dragged off the sand by the heels.; 7/22/19, 12:53 PM
