Gawker: If You are a White Woman, Let Black People Steal Your Phone

In quite possibly the worst article written in Gawker history, whose headlines are so terrible that the words "sorry," "no," and "yes" were banned, Jordan Sargent explained that white women should allow themselves to be mugged by black people.

No, this is not an exaggeration. Sargent literally began his article, "On Friday, a white lady named Clara Vondrich had her iPhone stolen..." Ms. Vondrich then chased down her mugger, a thirteen-year-old black teenager, which Sargent said was a "s**tty" thing to do.

Sargent also repeatedly put quotations around the word "crime," as if stealing an iPhone from someone is not a crime. Why do this? Because, as Sargent explains, white women should learn their place and just let black people steal from them.

He explains that the kid "has enough problems" as it is. Because of his weight, Ms. Vondrich said she was able to catch up to her robber. "Have a heart," Sargent begs. The poor, poor robber is facing charges and now, "kids at school will definitely make fun of him endlessly for being caught from behind by a white lady wearing zany sunglasses." That poor kid! If only he had stolen from an old woman, he would have gotten away.

Finally, the article ends with possibly the worst advice I have heard in my entire life: "If you are nonviolently mugged by a child, continue to let him run along with his friends. The world will be a better place."

Close, Gawker.

A race bait thread? Golly gee, I'm so surprised.

[William Tell]

I don't think the ladies will buy that, Gawker:rolleyes: double standard political correctness take way to far.:cool:

I don't care if the kid is black white or purple. You steal my shit Ima hunt yo ass, whatever its color. Good for her, I'd a made sure I got his picture too if the cops weren't there yet.

[Dr.3D]

Oh come on, it's not like those rich white folks can't afford to donate a phone to some poor black kid. They can always get another one.

[PaulConventionWV]

Ever heard of reverse racism?

Yeah, well, soon that'll be old news and we'll be on to reverse slavery. That's basically where all this is headed. White people walking down the street like vending machines for all the poor black kids and nobody cares. It's a mad world.

[Christian Liberty]

I actually looked up the original article. To be fair, it wasn't actually saying to let black people steal your phone. What it was saying is that if the phone is already gone, don't get the kid into the press or have him arrested for grand larceny. Debatable, sure, but not nearly as stupid as its being portrayed as.

Ultimately, I blame the "just-us" system for the fact that its very likely going to ruin the 13 year old boy's life, and the woman still doesn't get compensated for the phone.

The justice system didn't ruin this kids life, he did by being a thief. An argument could also be made that his parents (parent?) ruined his life by lack of parenting.

If the kid was brought up properly this wouldn't have happened.

I agree that he's also to blame for his own actions. But let's think proportionally here.

Based on OT Mosaic* (Theocratic) justice, he should have had to pay 2-5 times (depending on what item existing in 1500BC an i-phone is considered comparable to) the value of what he stole to the victim, and then he would have been allowed to move on with his life. The victim would be made whole, she'd benefit, and the thief would have the opportunity to "steal no more" and live a productive life.

In modern secular "enlightened" justice, this young man will very likely be incarcerated, will very likely have a criminal record for the rest of his life, and the woman who was victimized isn't even compensated for her phone. This doesn't benefit the woman in any way, doesn't even make her whole, and the thief gets marginalized forever.

Yes, he's responsible for his actions. The parents may or may not be to blame for lack of parenting. And really, we shouldn't be blaming the woman for calling the police either. I do blame the thief for stealing. I blame him for the loss of the i-pod. But I blame the government for the fact that he'll potentially have his life ruined because of stupid, disproportionate policies.

*I don't support implementing all elements of Mosaic Law today. My views on so called "victimless crimes" have been stated here plenty of times. But I definitely think that a system that is HARSHER than the OT theocracy is absolutely draconian, especially in a supposed "Christian nation." Of course, most modern Christians are too busy being indignant at the prospect of legalized gay marriage and (sometimes) giving people the right to choose to poison their own bodies with marijuana, to even care about issues like this.

That's exactly how it's being portrayed, you're just using nice sounding words to describe telling whitey to allow himself (or herself) to be robbed by the poor oppressed black chidd-run.

Look, if you're ate up with white guilt then give your shit to blacks, be my guest. Leave me and my shit alone.

[Dr.3D]

Probably thought he was "getting over." Thing is, he "got over" on himself.

All right. Now then, gawker, tell us exactly how the fact that you can get robbed and refuse to call the police out of fear for your attacker supports your position that we need more government and government is the only entity we can trust.

I'm all agog to hear that explanation.

Oh, don't be ridiculous.

They'll be lining up for the FEMA camps like good little sheep. The only way they'll be the first to die is if they get the Holocaust Treatment in the back of the truck on the way there.

No, it really is saying that. The last line of the article literally said just that.

Close, Gawker.

Nope. Just another retard operating a keyboard with his brain in neutral.

No such thing. Racism is racism. It doesn't matter if it's practiced by blacks on whites.

[CPUd]

Technically, it's more along the lines of favoritism, but I've never seen anyone use it that way. They always use it to describe racism.

Really? it said this:

I thought that line meant to let him continue to run off AFTER you realized he didn't have the IPOD. Maybe I'm wrong.

At any rate, "nonviolent mugging" doesn't exist.

Verbatim from the Gawker article in question (http://gawker.com/all-the-things-not-to-do-when-you-capture-your-own-chil-1623421423):


Now, it seems clear that this story came about because Post photographer Stefan Jeremiah happened to be right near the scene of the "crime." Nonetheless, if you are to apprehend your child mugger don't pose for photos in the newspaper, especially if you are white and the child mugger happens to be black. This is an extremely bad look, I think we all can agree.

Seriously, I cannot even begin to imagine what this author was thinking while putting 'crime' in quotation marks. Do they think stealing someone's phone is not, or should not, be a crime?

Even better, 'look', as in, 'This is an extremely bad look,' isn't. So a mugging can be nonviolent (just as though someone were panhandling your phone)' and crime is subjective (even when there's a human victim and it's neither the state nor the perpetrator itself). But appearances, now those are serious business.

And being willing and able to stand up for your rights is just so unseemly.

Besides, he almost says, for a white (especially a girl) to outrun a black male is to destroy a racial stereotype. Which is normally no bad thing, except this is a good stereotype. It's like the Affirmative Action of stereotypes. Because believing stereotypes is non-racist and healthy if they're positive stereotypes, right?

Right...?

[cajuncocoa]

That article made me feel so guilty, I'm going out right now to give my iPhone to the first needy black person I can find.

BRB.

Oh, and if I don't come back it's because I gave my MacBook away too.

And the sad thing is that part of me is willing to let SHTF.

[KingNothing]

If not for Gawker, I probably wouldn't hate progressives and liberals nearly as much as I do. The writers there are totally unencumbered by logic and consistent, rational, thought. They just spew a constant stream of progressive fantasies. Comparing the Onion to Gawker does a disservice to the Onion because it can effectively convey a real message through satire. Gawker is just a sartorial hell-hole where the cognitive dissonance knows no bounds.

"Happens to be black," .... "happens to be black," ....

An unironic take on George Carlin's classic bit. Gawker happens to be terrible, and openly blows.

I thought Obama gives phones away?:confused:

I'm pretty sure, they think they are not "getting over on the man" if they get a phone from Obama.

If he wanted to rape her, does Gawker think she should have laid down on the street and spread her legs?
