Was driving home when a woman started yelling at him because he ran a non-existent stop sign and supposedly almost hit her. He stopped and got out of the car and she completely freaks out. Article here:

Dude used to play with Hall of Fame QB Steve Young, and the GOAT Jerry Rice in SF, won a Super Bowl in 1994.

And this woman was all 'you're a BLACK MAN approaching a WHITE WOMAN' in her freakout.

The woman's husband was also there, telling her to chill and go inside (apparently this is front of their house) but she just hung around and freaked out on him.

Accusing him of 'speeding around the neighborhood' ... another voice chimes in (sounds like a black woman neighbor) saying 'no he wasn't, you're lying I was right here' type of thing.

Glad he didn't end up shot.

is, we have no idea what really happened. These videos never show the before and the after.
It's two people arguing about running a stop sign and a woman complaining that she's white and the guy scared her because he's black.
But we have no idea regarding the truth of what either of them actually did or didn't do.

heard what she said about him being black, that's why I mentioned it.
My guess is she would have been scared of any male getting out of their car to confront her in the dark, even though that doesn't excuse what she said here.
My point was, we don't know what actually happened, we just have two people arguing in front of the camera and no preceding video to show what actually happened.

question. What context do you feel is missing? Why would she say the things she said unprompted? Not accusing you of anything. But I found your response strange. And your assumption that she would've reacted the same way with say, a white guy. Talking about "white man... white woman " just sounds silly.

She screams at a black man.
Lies on a black man.

Then says: "You're a black man approaching a white woman"

As a small framed black woman, in a town where 'Nazi Dad' literally used to walk around - I was chastised at DU many years ago for pointing out the natural fear a black woman who descends from enslaved and Jim Crow South black Americans should -

"Naturally feel when approached by a white male with white supremacy in his heart" - this is based on the rape, beatings, killings (400+ years) of black women by white supremacist men in America.


If I'm not given an offramp to use historical fact for why I would fear 'Nazi Dad' -

I don't have to hear anything else about the circumstances.

This woman is on camera saying: How dare you - get in your place boy! What did you expect

WTF was going on and I told them.
There is more than one single thing happening in this scene for cryin out loud.
I suppose I could have answered "racist white girl, that is all, nothing else is happening here. hate everything about it and don't think beyond that".

Does that sound like a statement from a rational, thinking person? No, it doesn't. That's why I gave an honest and frank answer.
And yes, it was a racist remark. Do you need me to confirm anything further?

It is not deflection unless I'm saying there is not prejudice or that it's not a serious problem. Of course I did not say that. It's not helpful to make sweeping generalizations about people if ostensibly you want to reduce the amount of prejudice in the world.

Part of changing the world is being the change you want to see.

the Super Bowl and Eagles were a yard short of beating the Patriots. Around 2004 or 2005 and then he wanted do redo his contract and got national press for exercising in front of the press on his front yard. I took my 2 young sons to stroll around the neighborhood but cops didn’t let us get near him. Anyway, saw him a couple of times in local mall and saw him on a show “Please Save My Family Ilyana ” or something like that. She is a black woman who counsels people who have had trauma. It’s a great show and Terrell was on it. His grew up next to his biological father but never met him although he needed a father figure. They reunite him with his biological father who lives in the same house and knew Terrell was his son. Terrell is a wounded man who rose to the top of his profession despite his issues with his father. Terrell definitely handled this exchange very well. The “Karen” is a creep.
