'Tough Love: New Orleans' Swamp Date
Michelle Obama Attends Beyonce Concert
It's rare that you get your racism so fresh from the Farmer's Market nowadays. I appreciate raw, pure, and organic. So to this racist lady in New England, who so eloquently shows how racism is a mental disease (albeit one that can be cured if you work on it) you're the tops!
When her mail carrier refuses to take back a certified letter that she had signed for but no longer wants, she becomes enraged and goes on a racist rampage. Watch the video that the mail carrier secretly made with his cell phone below.
This is the best line of her nearly 5 minute harangue: "You killed Martin Luther King. All you n-ers turn on each other!" She then says she will "lock him up for life," (presumably for killing Dr. King). And then reveals: "I AM YOUR LEADER!" Wait. No way. When is the next-Who-Really-Accepts-Certified-Mail-If-You-Don't-Know-Who-It's-From-march she will be leading? I am so there.
She also mentions that he is a "F----g, n---er thief," BUT she is NOT prejudiced. Ok, was that a Jedi Mind Trick she was trying to pull? C'mon lady we have 4-D movies now, you gotta come better than that!
Sadly, this is what happens when racism goes untreated. Author and professor Dr. Joy DeGruy Leary, describes, what this does to both the victim and the victimizer over time in her must-read book, "Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome." She says: "America's and Americans' denial of their blatant racism and attending atrocities committed throughout the nation's history has become pathological. Such denial has allowed this illness to fester for almost 400 years. It is what keeps this country sick with this issue of race."
The most enduring problem as it relates to racism in America is denial. Some countries hold Truth and Reconciliation Committees where perpetrators must face their victims and acknowledge that whatever atrocity actually HAPPENED and they must talk about it in a public sphere - -whether or not they are sorry for doing it.This at least gives the victim recognition and validation for their pain and suffering, that they are not crazy for not being able to just "get over it and move on," and that there are lasting effects for people's actions.
The overwhelming number of comments on this Youtube clip from people who actually said that the postal worker provoked her by not leaving when she started to go crazy, or said that he should have forsaken his responsibilities as a postal officer and given her the mail back are examples of the kind of denial that allows racism to continue generationally.
What's particularly interesting is at 2:36 when she actually tries to turn it around to show that SHE is the victim here. She says: "I'm not hurting you, you're hurting me. I'm standing out in the cold, I'm wet with my socks on," after she has assaulted him, by slapping him, for being painfully polite and just doing his job.
That's right, she even goes as far as to slap him. Yes, I said she slapped him. For those that didn't hear: she SLAPPED him. Wow.
This story would be all s**ts and giggles, and 'hey look at the crazy lady' if it weren't for the fact that the postal worker was FIRED in this scenario. Yeah, I had to read that again myself.
Apparently, the laws in her state say that you cannot record someone surreptitiously. She meanwhile is a free as a bird, as no trial was set for her. And there's probably a s**tload of mail for her clogging up space at the local post office.
There is no happy ending in this anti-going postal scene.

To bad he didn't react quickly and slap her back. She would have called the police and he would have been arrested. This lady should be very careful, knowing this is on the internet. White people are getting away with to much these days. Blacks are getting sick and tried of holding back.The law should be for everybody no matter the color.This lady should have been arrested for hitting him. But she's white and they are suppose to always be right. This is so unfair. So if a black comes up to her and slaps her for no reason, will they be arrested? People need to wake up, we are fighting each other, while other countries are trying to hurt us at the same time.

The racism is tearing America apart. With the Republicans and Tea Bags in Congress, President Obama will not be able to accomplish anything for America overseas with foreign countries aligning themselves against the racist, coldly conservative, rich republicans who through greed brought down the economy, created costly wars which then affected their own global economies.
They lauded a black President hoping for "change" but the agenda of racists color-phobes empowered in America by a labor of 400 years of slavery followed by a corporate slavery still stands deeply entrenched. The Europeans colonies fighting for their own "independence" from England while abusing an excuse of a need for paternalism over African slaves never thought their greed and laziness to perform manual labor would have like most, who think they can get away with things just because they can, not foresee this type of future for America. Hence, the vitriolic hatred as displayed by this woman in the video who thought this would never come back upon them. (Payback is a B-.)
Now they think it is either up to the blacks to carry the burden of racism, assimilation or integration or just be destroyed through continued economic exclusions.

At first I was completely confused when Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Now I understand. The fact that a man like him won the presidential election in a country filled with ppl like her is a truly a miracle. The world community was showing how astounded they were to see an Afro man win in America.

The woman is a racist ranting idiot and the Postal Worker is ALSO an idiot for continuing to sit there and not call 911. He obviously had this planned. Its also obvious that the two had had previous run-ins..........why would he have a recorder on if he was not expecting trouble?
No I am not a racist but I am black. The woman is obviously angry at the world AND unstable to boot...so why for Petes sake would anyone sit there and whine about being slapped vice getting the heck out of there the minute they were assaulted? YUP..these had had previous dealings for sure.

I agree with you they probably had earlier dealings, but unlike you I think this postal worker was trying to keep her job by trying to document the problems she encounters with this person. Why turn and run when you have to go to this persons home to deliver the mail on a daily basic. Turn and running is completly crazy. What, you're going to refuse to do your job and don't deliver her mail? Come on man THINK.

Denise, the worst part of all, is, it is supposed to be a felony to assault a postal worker. A felony, what do you want to bet that she will never be charged for it.
