Racists in Burlington Mall MA

[Ricardo_MA]

I was at the Burlington Mall last Saturday. It was noisy and crowded as usual.
I saw two Muslim women in abaya and they were pushing a baby stroller in front of the Apple store. The people, normal people, were just trying to keep a distance from these two women and walk around them. The people were also surprisingly quiet and trying to avoid direct eye contact with the women in abaya, like there were bombs in the stroller or something.

I could not believe my eyes. So many of us are racist subconsciously. It is really a shame to be a Massachusetts resident.

If you want to troll, please do it elsewhere.

I don't think that's racism but rather extreme stupidity or ignorance. When you have a whole political party right wing media pushing the hate and fear narrative, it's easy for people to get wrapped up in propaganda. I saw a similar use of propaganda during the Bush admin (where I believe the technique was perfected), hell even Ronald Reagan was peddling propaganda for a while.

The question is: what do we do about it? Me personally? I think people should be shamed but that only works if it's done on a collective level. We may be past that at this point.

Oh no, not the cold shoulder! Racism has gone too far.

Sounds more like people that are socially inept, than people that are racist.

I never knew a single african american, until I went to college. There were simply none that lived in my neighborhood, or went to my school. I didn't converse with an AA, until I got to college, and needless to say, it was an awkward experience. The fact I was an introvert just made the situation worse.

By the time I graduated, I was friends with three exchange students from Ukraine, Africa, and India.

Burlington has loads of muslims

This is religious bigotry (and a rather poor example of it)...not racism. If you're going to play SJW, you need to get the basic terminology down first before displaying your outrage. Otherwise, you appear to be what you are...and we can't have that now can we?

Like Hilary said, We are Better than this!

 

[Doc Savage Fan]

Hillary is awesome.

 

[Ricardo_MA]

Hillary is awesome.

Had to vote for Hillary!

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Hillary is awesome.

MA Democrats voted for Bernie

I should have walked up to them and tried to make them feel comfortable. It must not be a bomb, right?

Then I would have asked them whether they were citizen. If so, I would have asked them to vote for Hillary in November.

 

[ivwshane]

Why would you ask if they are citizens?

Because Moooslims and stuff

Satirical projection of perceived racism, I suppose.

OP is a troll,
here's a sample of another post from this Mensa candidate

So, since almost all terrorists are Muslim but NOT all Muslim are terrorists, should we welcome the non-terrorist Muslim with open arms or keep all Muslim out of your house using a screen door?

derp

Another person that loves to use the word racism as a knee jerk when they don't know what it means.

9 whopping posts, you're doing good OP. Most are drawn to this site for computer hardware, but I can see why some would sign up for the P&N board too.

Wait 'til you read about the Native Americans. They're treated like shit over in the US of A.
