By Tom Boggioni
In a video posted to Twitter that reportedly took place in Illinois, a white woman held up her phone to keep from being filmed not wearing a mask while standing in line at Home Depot then telling her accuser that she is white, a woman and entitled.
In the video, the woman can be seen using her phone to block her face from being seen, at one time giving her filmer the finger, and twice during the encounter, she reaches out to knock the other phone away.
The incident began after she was called out for not wearing a mask and, at first, she refused to speak, later saying that she is white and therefore entitled. After later admitting that she believes in white power, the woman filming her accuses her of being a disgusting, racist piece of trash.

They certainly are feeling brave and powerful. It's almost like someone(?) made it ok.

Why does she have a diaper sticking out of her pocket? WHITE power, I guess!

(5,969 posts)This was a stunt for her channel as she apparently livestreamed parts of it.
This deranged idiot put on a mask to get into a target, then got rid of her mask to film herself having a fit at a display of masks.

(32,017 posts)I cant tell whether the white woman is being sarcastic or whether shes being straight-out honest when she asserts her white-woman privilege and claims to believe in white power.
Either way, wouldnt it have been easier to just put on a mask and pretend to care about the health of your fellow citizens?

(32,017 posts)I am not defending her, obviously, but she doesnt sound committed to the things that she is saying.

(44,975 posts)So she has a mask, but refuses to actually wear it. So I don't know what her actual deal is.

(23,818 posts)But in any event, sarcastic, arrogant, condescending, who in their right mind would engage another person like that unless you felt entitled.

(13,421 posts)CLEARLY there was physical contact made when she smacked away the phone filming her--twice. She ADMITS she touched the person making the video when they have the exchange about what would happen if she "touched" her again. (I'll grant you that it isn't smart to threaten somebody while recording their transgressions, but...) I think I'd try to file a police complaint. Maybe it would be laughed at, but I'd sure try.
Does anybody know if she's been ID'd yet?
