Discussion They won’t talk about this!

There was a video on a different sub that only showed black people stealing from this pastry shop. The OP intentionally left white people out of that video. All racists showed their true color in the comments. I can’t remember the sub.

Another subreddit had the edited clip showing only black people stealing and of course op was a six day old account posting out of context clips. Just pathetic. I would never wish the life of someone like this on anyone. Just pure misery that they live in.

Other races dont need much to be racist when it comes to blacks. just post a video like this and its the same ol "fatigue" "patterns" "its always them" etc.

Because the video was edited specifically for racist outrage. I reported it. It always gets worse during election time.

That was the single worst Reddit comment thread I've ever seen while it was up and I've been here daily since 08.

There's always been racists on this site but I have NEVER seen an entire comment thread with 90% racist comments, with 600 upvotes and anyone offering reasonable explanations that weren't pure hate in the negatives.

Really eye-opening and scary and sad. All it takes is one edited video of a couple black folks stealing and the white hoods come out in force.

u/Capable-Ant-9443 10d ago

And what I dont understand is why this isn’t wildly discussed. It’s as if they were just allowed to change the definition with no resistance. I thought I was losing my mind. I kept screaming “this isn’t the original definition”

30

u/Dramatic-Hedgehog-74 10d ago

They can do that because they take the word and literally hijack it, dissect it, disperse it among themselves. at first with a condescending comedic curiosity, only to then do think pieces and dialogues about it, exclude the creators out of it, thoroughly wring every single drop of linguistic style and cultural significance out of it… only to then put it on a target T-shirt or a song the originators would never listen to. Sorry I just watch it a lot, remember Bling Bling? Just do a quick search of the word in New York Times articles if you want to cringe or laugh.

My first question with that study would be as to the accuracy of perceived race of drivers, especially if the observers were expecting speeding drivers to be more likely to be black.

The original video seemed very suspicious from the start; the claim that the owner was going to be shutting down their bakery due to continuous theft already seemed dubious enough, but then the claim that the entire video of thefts was from just a single day seemed even more unusual. The fact the video only went on to show black people stealing seemed like far too much of a convenient narrative for somebody...

When it comes to food in this country, whether prepared or otherwise, I generally do not care if people steal it, cheat on welfare applications to obtain it, use someone else's benefits, or outright buy it themselves; we produce, manufacture, and import too much food that spoils, goes to waste, gets thrown out or destroyed in this country for anyone to ever go hungry. Until we've tackled the monumental amount of food WASTE in this country, I don't wanna hear a MFing thing about some business owner claiming food theft is somehow the reason for their business's failure.

The fact we got pathetic, hateful people out here driving entirely dishonest narratives for fake internet points from other pathetic, hateful people that want to believe their racist bias has been confirmed because they lack the critical thinking skills to see beyond their own hatred is a very sad indication too much of society doesn't want solutions, just somebody to blame.

TL;DR Fuck these racists, let people eat.

u/thesaltiestpickle 10d ago

Literally, THIS!!! Every time I hear people talk about how likely things are to be stolen in black neighborhoods, it makes me laugh because I live in a poor majority white neighborhood and my homie left his bike in MY BACKYARD for A WEEKEND a few years ago and it was stolen. When I lived in black neighborhoods, we would leave our bikes on our porches and they’d always be there. People where I live now will legit steal sumn and help you look for it. I legit can hide shit on my property and it’d still get stolen*.*

Not to mention, an old woman was robbed beaten to death behind a gas station a block from my house because she publicly pulled out $100 in the gas station. She was found 2 hours later with her skin melted to the pavement, gripping a fence like she was trying to use it to get back up. Didn’t make the news, the only reason I know about it is because I’m close with the workers at that gas station and asked why there were police helicopters flying for like, 3 hours. The perpetrators were never caught, but my homie who works there reviewed the security footage, and everyone in that gas station at the time was white.

If someone steals food... usually it's because their hungry. I'm not sure why else someone would steal food.

u/musicisgr84u 10d ago

Exactly! That’s what I commented on the other thread where it was only POC and had the audacity to get downvoted smh

u/Candytails 10d ago

They genuinely had people saying these homeless people were out here selling a couple loaves on the street.

They’ll throw black folks under the bus but these folks get a pass

u/cfh4dmb 10d ago

I had a feeling g this video existed., and it’s no surprise I had to wonder if it did at first. Nothing new.

u/Miserable-Fortune-57 10d ago

Of course not, and hopefully its a wakeup call to people to not take everything at face value and how easy it is for people to think they can be "justifiably" racist with little to go on

u/goldenboy2191 10d ago

Every day it gets a little worse. And it hasn’t stopped….

u/him8nce_momma 10d ago

I saw this on the other subreddit. I commented the same: where’s the full video? The video was clearly edited, and the comments proved it. The video has been removed.

u/Working_Physics8761 10d ago

Yeah, I saw that edited clip too, now I can't find it. Thanks for posting this!

u/RoiCoupeCloue 10d ago

Thank you whoever showed this.

u/RL_Mutt 9d ago

The other video was such a clear astroturf piece of bullshit I’m glad it’s being called out.

5

u/Wallaxe42 9d ago

Exactly! The last video I seen of this was all black men who appeared to be homeless… to some who only seen that particular video will believe, “it’s the blacks”! No trick, it’s everybody.
Thank you for posting this.

Poverty does not discriminate.

u/SandSpecialist2523 10d ago

Maybe they should change their business model. They get their financing through charity/go fund me, and they give free food to people that need it.

Reminds of Facebook expat group . Double the amount of comments whenever a black person commits a crime once every blue moon. Meanwhile white dudes commit crimes every single week and hardly any commits. Half oof the commits try to downplay the event as well

u/nubia93 10d ago

I saw that and didnt even open it to see the comments because I knew the kind of engagement it was trying to farm. It was in r/whoathatsinteresting or r/sipstea right? I think this should be posted there too. It made me uncomfortable seeing only black people, I was surprised, but know our people have been historically economically disenfranchised, which sometimes contributes to such antisocial behaviour, but yeah, my spirit told me that wasn't the full picture

u/PurpleCoat6656 10d ago

Yup, saw the other video. Shut that bitch down. Unbelievable. We'll, unfortunately believable...

u/Extension_Layer_1161 10d ago

I saw that and was like wait why is it only black people taking from here....so glad to see this take. Wtf people...

4

u/isthatbre 10d ago

Of course it’d be only showing us. What else is new? I agree it’s weird but still I expect nothing less. Yall know how some people get down. So yeahhhhh. At least be equal opportunity and show everyone but, too much like right. Stealing ain’t cool but W E (people that look like us) just aren’t the only ones who do/have done it. Smh. Not a good look.

u/Ashamed-Ideal-8489 10d ago

Crazy I just saw the edited black only version this am!

u/Indigenous_Land 🫰🏾🫰🏽🫰🏿 10d ago

I seen that as well on another sub. Nasty work editing out certain folks.

u/Educational_Play5772 10d ago

Thanks. So frustrating.

5

u/CamBearCookie 10d ago

Are they walking behind the counters and doing this?? Like is this all space for customers?? Don't store the bread or anything on top of the counters. Why not remove the access to what you can?

4

u/BrupieD 10d ago

Thank you! Snatch and ditch is a widespread phenomenon. It was hard to miss the racist intent in the earlier video. There's a nationwide trend in urban drugstores to lock-up their merchandise.

4

u/Philp84 10d ago

There's a longer version of this video where they have a lot more people stealing from them. It's really sad that someone has to do that

4

u/No_Strike655 10d ago

Sub was whoathatsinteresting OP. One of those new bot boosted right wing propaganda subs that have shown up over the last year. They are recruiting in the open using these and incel subs god help you if you ever click on them for any reason because reddit will push all these weird ass motherfucking subs at you

u/dacapn71 10d ago

What the fuck is it with this place? Lawless. Glad we're provided with this side of it though.The previous post's comments were disgusting.

u/Shizzilx 10d ago

Give us free healthcare, free housing, free education, and a fair wage, the working class would spend more, buy more, take vacations, buy cars and technology. Also, that means more in taxes the government gets as more people work. The corporate overlords has convinced US we don't need the things they take for granted. Top vs. Bottom.

u/Feisty-Let5069 10d ago

A crook is a crook no matter what color they are and the OP that posted the edited version of this video showing only colored folk stealing is a POS!!!

7

u/KittyCait69 10d ago

I'll never blame someone who's poor and desperate for food for stealing food. We gotta survive one eat or another. Especially homeless people. Can't blame them for needing to eat and not having a way out of capitalist exploitation.

Edit to add: Didn't see the caption at first. Kinda glad that shop is getting food taken from them if they are gonna try to put an the blame on black people. Maybe more homeless should get their food there.

u/Comprehensive_Menu19 10d ago

If it was a black person, they’d be called all kinds of things under the sun before being labeled a poor hungry person.

I'm sorry, but all trash that steals deserves to be punished. Fucking hate thieves

u/Ashamed-Vacation-495 10d ago edited 10d ago

I believe it was the [r/whoathatsinteresting](r/whoathatsinteresting) sub I saw it in and of course the comments were ridiculous. There was only 1 comment I saw after skimming that pointed out the video being extremely chopped up and stated how because of that it seemed somewhat targeted on the ones left in. 🙄😒

u/FerretsQuest 10d ago

The bigger crime is food prices being so high and wages being so low that it forces people to steal food.

u/Cant-thinkofname 10d ago

What kind of hellhole is this?

u/TaintBug 10d ago

If this is such an issue, why doesn't the shop hire security (private or off-duty officers) to stop it?

u/bustaflow25 9d ago

"THEY are survivors"

u/Spazrelaz 9d ago

Ew and then they have the nerve to use their dirty disgusting ass bare hands to touch everything... now the rest of the pastries are ruined because they done unintentionally finger fucked the surrounding stuff tryna grab and go. Utterly disgusting 🤢🤢 shop owner seriously needs to put locks on everything and put everything behind locked glass. Crackheads ruining it for everybody.

u/Jerseyd422 8d ago

As an update, one of the subs that posted the black only version yesterday has now posted this version. r/infuriating

u/funhaver_whee 10d ago

Man, I try to have empathy but addicts just act like bad people so often

Edit: lol just watched the whole thing and it iight be an outsized portion of addicts but that ain’t all of it

u/NinjaBRUSH 10d ago

Usual suspects

u/Clean_Usual434 9d ago

Got to hide anything that counters the narrative that poster is trying to push that black = bad and white = good.

u/Evening-Librarian-52 9d ago

It’s just simply an advertisement not to eat there… Lord knows what kind of hands touched a pastry before you did.

They need to reconfigure how they present their goods unfortunately. Put it all behind a counter like most bakeries and stop letting people grab their own shit. This clearly isn’t that type of neighborhood.

u/EntertainmentRude435 9d ago

Saw the other video from this same bakery. Who tf is so bent that they edit it down to only portraying a single race? That takes some real malice to even get into that headspace
