White Privilege - MET Police

Eazybee, of course the law applies to her, as it applies to any of us, however irritating it may be at times.

Well, the idea that having a massive tantrum means you don't have to supply proof of payment is ludicrous.🙄

The idea that ticket inspectors and transport police would have wasted all this time on someone that had shown a ticket, because they just wanted to target her, is even sillier.

The only people that upset the child were the mother and whoever it was shouting and waving a camera around. She could have set him a good example - she chose not to.

Hopefully, next time, she will just do what we all have to - provide proof of payment.

I don't make personal comments so I've already won

Really! A serious discussion ranging over many significant issues, leading to differing, at times polarised views reduced to the playground

There is a chap on Instagram who ‘does Prince Harry’ , anyone wearing a white mask, it’s’unconscious bias’ he is now stopping using toothpaste because it ‘whitens teeth’ , so funny

Iam64, the words you quoted at 8.08 today are exactly the sort of response I used to get from my DGS who has ASC when he was at primary school.
He’s much more grown up now AND he shows his ticket without making a fuss, when asked.

The discussion is always dead when people get personal

Welcome to have an argument with me about me though Molly but I would suggest I know me a slight bit better than you do, so you will lose

You wanted it to become personal and competitive but flounced when it wasn’t going your way. Always talking about winning. It’s not a competition and it’s not up to you to decide the outcome anyway.

Always the same people with this kind of behaviour

Do you include your own contributions in that remark VioletSky?

VioletSky

And this idea that the whole situation was somehow set up is absolutely vile

Check your privilege

Are you having a laff?

Attacking me for believing that this situation was mishandled and that unconscious bias contributed is not going to strengthen your arguments

Always making threads about you doesn’t strengthen your position either.

I always laugh when one of you says that

I only answer what is said to me

You are the ones who like to make threads about me, I'm just dragged along for this nonsense

Parroting the phrase ‘unconscious bias’ doesn’t strengthen any arguments either.

If a person kicks off in public and refuses to show a ticket that they do have, they have to take the consequences.That’s any
Person btw.

Same nonsense, different day

I'm still here, still enjoying gransnet, not biting back, just don't have anything negative to say about people on a personal level... If I did, I'd be obviously unhealthy and taking my issues out on others... Who would want that for themselves?

Totally agree and have posted the same several times on this thread.

Anyone regardless of who they are needs a ticket or a travel pass to use public transport and is obligated to produce it when asked to do so by a ticket inspector, that’s it, no excuse, no argument, produce your ticket/pass, simples

The police officers have apparently submitted their personal camera footage, so all will be revealed.

It’s not about biting or biting back it’s about your comments insisting this case is all about conscious or unconscious bias.
It really isn’t.
If the woman had been white and kicked off in the same way the results would have been the same.
You have to show proof of paid for travel.Whatever race or colour you are.

So much Privilege

Black woman is responsible for all ramifications of not showing a ticket even if those ramifications are over the top

You guys, not responsible for your own comments on gransnet, my fault for disagreeing or "making threads about me"

Unconscious bias is rife

You have to show receipts occasionally on leaving the supermarket, a coach ticket before boarding, and a train ticket a least once every journey. Every one does; why not.

I am totally responsible for everything I post on GN as are you and every other poster VioletSky

You have no idea if other posters are either privileged, Black or Asian, therefore you consistently posting unconscious bias holds no weight…

Unconscious bias, do you actually know what it is? Why do you think it only covers race?

I know what it means, but I am not sure that you do.

I've done the training if that helps

I doubt that you are the only one on GN to have done a conscious/unconscious bias course or seminar.
