New York woman calls the law on a woman of color after confronting her standing outside a doorway. |
The woman who made the call on her was identified as Arabella Juniper Torres, a white woman who came out the building screaming at Obregon to leave her property or she will call the police.
Darsell was waiting on an Uber pick up and this white woman decided to get riled up over a woman of color standing near her doorway.
This was shared on Facebook and it went viral.
Obregon said she was on her way to a subway station when it started raining. During a thunderstorm, she sought cover near a small space outside an apartment building. She decided to use her Uber app to request a ride.
Soon the woman, Torres comes out saying she better leave, now.
"No more than three minutes later a young woman who lives in the building opened the front door and told me that I can not stand there and had to leave," said Obregon. "I told her I was not going to move (unbeknownst to her I was just waiting for my ride and would be leaving in a couple of minutes) so then she proceeded to call the police..."
Darsell Obregon was harassed by a white woman after she waited on an Uber. |
Then afterwards, Obregon heads to her Uber with Torres in tow. Torres demanded the Uber driver stop his vehicle and let her out.
"If you go anywhere, you'll be committing a crime as well; you know that right?"
Then she goes for the license plate of the Uber driver and she continued to call 911.
The hashtag #whiteprivilege
Okay, #BathrobeTammy is still on Facebook. She hasn't went silent yet. But sooner or later, she will make her profile private and the junk food media will ridicule her for this.
This is the latest of many incidents where white people call the police on people of color for miscue things.
