56. It doesn't tell me that at all, and since I'm not bigoted and full of presumptions...
it never once occurred to me that it should matter at all who called, or that she might've accurately described the two men at the scene. Who gives a shit? Did the police report have some extra copy written in code that spoke about her "racism"? Because all I saw were cut and dry details about who was who. Nothing about anyone's personal beliefs or bigotry. (And there was no "fictional' invention of two black males so you're just inserting that hyperbole out of thin air.)

People started labeling her from the first sketchy "breaking news" stories, calling her out as a fu*king WHITE racist old busybody. So racist she didn't even know her own neighbor. And from there the sickening stories about her flew off the shelves like summer sale at Macy's. That was before the police report. It was only, what, yesterday that she came forward, and suddenly, well she ISN'T white, so that's good, and she DIDN'T identify two black males, and that's triply good. Talk about racism and bigotry. Lol.

You keep making that point over and over by claiming it was all about the police report and if nobody had thought SHE was white, and nobody had thought she identified potential intruders by their skin color, she wouldn't be in this mess. So yeah, that leads me to believe that in America today, racism/bigotry, and the urge to skin people alive when you know nothing about them, is basically how it is. It's all politics, and hate and bigotry come in all colors and flavors. If you call the cops because you're witnessing something, do not describe the person unless they are white.
