| Another white woman harasses people of color. Threatens to call the law on them for minding their own business. |
This happened in a Nashville area Target. The woman said that "they don't belong here" and argued they were "perfect for the court system."
The three minute video of the verbal spat went viral and once again we are giving cutesy names to white racists. They dubbed this woman "Target Tammy."
"My cousin and I were visiting my best friend from out of state and we stopped by Target to buy a phone charger," she said. "I told my friend to try on a hat that looked like something Eartha Kitt's character would wear in the film and she said no because her character had sex with a younger man."
"She told us, 'You shouldn't be talking about sex,'" the woman told the junk food media. "We were confused — then, she came around the corner with her shopping cart and started ranting, 'You don’t belong here' and calling our conversation inappropriate."
"I live in the South and have never experienced something like this," the black shopper reiterated. "You never think it could happen to you. We're educated women — we are not aggressive people and we avoid conflict."
After the video went viral, she went silent on Facebook. But thanks to many who obtain video evidence and retweets, we have portions of the video.
Roll it.
Another white woman decided not to mind her own damn business. She intruded on the convo of 3 black women, tried to tell them what they did and didn’t say. Then she insulted and gaslit them, and played victim. As per usual. I hope they catch her in the streets #RacistBeckery pic.twitter.com/98tM6amjq8— Black Folks Saving America Again #Midterms2018 (@HollaBlackGirl) December 1, 2018

Jones wrote on her now deleted Facebook post that she and her friends were trying on hats at a Target in Nashville on Friday and made reference to Eartha Kitt's character in the 1992 comedy Boomerang, remarking that she had sex with a younger man.
A woman nearby overheard the conversation and immediately approached them. She started making the allegations that the women were talking about sex in public.
They tried to explain to the woman about the movie Boomerang and the white woman didn't want to hear none of that. One of the women made a crude remark towards the white woman saying that she "should go get some." That inflamed the situation.
Jones said, "Enough."
"I want us to stop engaging with this woman," she said as they begin to turn their back on the white woman as a signal that the confrontation is over.
The white woman wasn't going to let it go. She would start following them and accusing them of abuse.
"I didn't realize that personal attacks were normal. I also didn't realize that talking about sex in public was normal."
A Target employee would ask the women if everything was alright. One of the Black women said that they would like the white woman to stop bothering them. The Target employee and her manager managed to solve the problem and everyone went their separate ways.
Many are calling for the name of the woman. They want to place her in the hall of shame.
She makes up a handful of white people calling the law on innocent Black people. These issues are real and it infuriates me that in Donald J. Trump's America, the privileged will always look down on the underprivileged.
White people calling the law on people of color is a problem.
The law shooting and killing an unarmed or legally armed person of color is a problem.
Allowing Republicans pass laws to deny voting rights, the safety net and a fair wage for the working class is a problem.
We got to change direction.
