She says hates white people
UPDATE: A 34 year old woman was arrested at a Hackney address this afternoon at 2:15. (Tuesday 21) by Hackney Police, on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence, and she is now in custody at an east London police station. They are still trying to establish where the footage was taken.
The video is of a black woman in a very distressed state (see video below). A state that in my view could be one of frustration, anger , maybe even under the influence of alcohol or drugs. However it is a different story if you were to go by the Daily mail report and journalist Julia Hartley-Brewer, on her LBC afternoon talk show. Both the Mail and Julia Hartley-Brewer led readers and listeners to believe the woman was an out right racist monster. She isn’t. It’s obvious she was hitting out in anger and at the time, the only way she was equipped to.
Her body language and words are what I see all the time on London’s public transport, walking along Stoke Newington High Road, Kingsland High Road or even in Wood Green. You find clearly disturbed people in public every where, some more disturbed than others, but there are those on the edge, the edge you reach when life get’s too much. Not everyone seeks help.
It’s plain to see she was motivated by something and it wasn’t racism, because as some callers into Hartley Brewer’s show pointed out, black people can not be racist. You see, not just anybody can be a racist, you have to come from a certain place with a sense of superiority and with the power to oppress.
It’s a shame The Daily Mail and Julia Hartley Brewer didn’t invite Funke Baffour, a clinical psychologist to comment, mind you she’s currently visiting Ghana, so it may not have been a convenient time.
In simplistic terms racism refers to a persistent inequality where individuals in a society inherit an inferior social status on the basis of ethnicity. The results can manifest themselves in many forms but in essence it is the exclusion of people from full and equal participation in that lifestyle we all collectively perceive as being valuable, important, personally worthwhile and socially desirable.
Racism and prejudice are so easily intertwined that many people confuse the terms which can lead to the erroneous assumption that overt racism no longer exists.
Many who have experienced oppression inherit prejudices borne from their experiences. These prejudices can represent as a form of detestation towards all those who they feel are part of the collective group responsible for their social disadvantages.
To identify the act of racism in all of its insidious and pervasive forms can be extremely challenging. However, it is important not to forget the biology of racism. We are wired to like people that are similar to us. It is this biology of racism that cannot be dealt with immediately.
There is more to it than some of the simplistic and often very ignorant comments being made in the comments section of the Daily Mail, and from callers on Julia Hartley-Brewers show this afternoon, but can you blame them when even this countries legal system is clueless on what constitutes a racist remark.
In the UK a black person can be arrested and charged with racial harassment for calling another black person a nigga, true, I know this from personal experience. As far as I’m concerned It’s impossible for a black person to be racist against another black person or a white person. I wonder what the CPS would make of what is known as tribalism in Africa.
I saw a comment in the Daily Mail where a woman mentioned her bi-polar West Indian mother, going off on rants about Africans during some of her ‘episodes’. She’d say terrible things about Africans despite her mother having had 2 children by an African man. In today’s Britain, even calling another black person choc Ice is considered racist, so this woman is going to need a good lawyer to defend her if she is charged.
And before you ask about Emma West, the white woman who had a similar melt-down on a tram in Croydon last year, I think trying to jail her is wrong and expensive. It’s not people like her or John Terry that worry or anger me, it’s racism from people who should know better. I never felt one way or the other about the John Terry case. The police, the courts, the board room, the FA with their lack of black coaches and football managers, not rants from jackass over paid over sexed footballers and depressed young struggling white women, dealing with the shit life throws at them. Jacqueline Woodhouse is another one that comes to mind. I never felt insulted. Had she said that to me, she would have felt my fist, but other than that, you can rant all you want on the train, I’ll just laugh or ignore you.
We need to put an end to institutionalized racism in higher institutions in this country and not prosecute the ignorant, afflicted and in my case, a woman trying to defend herself and nieces from a nasty Somalian refugee neighbour (you know the self-hating type who hate their colour) and her Irish husband, who from an upstairs room in his house, would take photographs of my underage nieces, in shorts as they played in my back yard.
The court and even the police where more concerned about his reputation and his job in a governmental agency. As far as they were concerned I was a crazy violent black bitch and not a woman who was under unimaginable stress from this woman and her husband. Had I really acted on what I really wanted to do to them to make it stop, I’d be doing a verrrrrrrrrry long time behind bars. I knew not to cross that line and took out my frustrations the only way I could, after not getting any help from the police, no matter how many times I contacted them. It’s a wonder that I didn’t do the ultimate and I sometimes feel that’s what they wanted me to do.
Who knows what drove this woman over the edge or what she may have ingested that day. I’m saying, Humpty Dumpty didn’t fall, he was pushed. You with me?

I agree that this woman is just angry and hitting out. I don’t agree it’s impossible for blacks to be racist. I’ve been sneered at and called a Jew twice while living in London, once by a black man who I didn’t know and once by a black woman who I had just been introduced to at a party. On both occasions I felt they definitely had a sense of superiority and also felt they thought they were safe to say it, i.e. in a majority. As I’m not Jewish I didn’t take particular offence, but I certainly got their meaning, and I had a little insight into what Jews sometimes have to put up with.
On the angry black woman. She’s been stirred up by something, maybe drink, maybe mental illness, maybe someone on the bus – maybe all three. I remember a white woman doing the same thing – Emma West – who also had mental issues, and she was locked up for a month before trial allegedly for her own safety. I hope they don’t do the same to this woman.
I tend to think there is a massive over-reaction to some of these incidents. I mean we’re all grown up. It’s not savoury and the vast majority of us will disagree with it, but it is also someone expressing a view they are entitled to have. Are they genuinely inciting racial hatred?
I look at them, and think ‘you poor mad bitch’ . I certainly don’t think ‘yeah, your dead on’ and start hating blacks or whites, or whoever the rant is directed at. If anything it’s a straight public order offence. We’re lucky to live in a city where people in general have an abiding respect for other races and religions.

The definition of racism to only include prejudice while coming from a ‘privileged’ background is absolutely, totally warped. It seeks to downgrade real and obvious instances of racism by black people (racism by its actual definition; prejudice against a race) by claiming for black people, and indeed by extension anyone not white Anglo-Saxon, some sort of diminished responsibility. Once you accept that, what other misdemeanours are acceptable because you happen not to be ‘of those of privilege’? Furthermore, how do you define that privilege? Arguably, the white working classes are not privileged. Are they not capable of racism either? If so, the woman on the tram in Croydon was similarly ‘just angry’. If you do start to blur lines in society like this – claiming actions by some are acceptable because of historical reasons – are you not ultimately going to drive a wedge between races rather than bring them together?
For what its worth I believe the women in this story is obviously sick and needs help, not vilification. Those that excuse what she said with the ridiculous claim that black people cannot be racist perhaps deserve it instead.

You’re bang on. It’s a very sorry system if every nutter seen on you tube is arrested and prosecuted. I’ve often crossed a road or even got off a bus whenever a disturbed person begins ranting about their demons, or whatever posses them. You know all is not well with them, which is why this jumped up response to disturbed people is ludicrous.
People like this woman do not intentionally go out of their way to indoctrinate others, or organize themselves into hate groups… big difference.

A white woman was recently arrested and charged for racist abuse on the Tube while clearly drunk and distressed. Being drunk and distressed was no excuse. The woman shown in this clip is more abusive and violent and should be sectioned under the Mental Health Act after being charged with a publicly aggravated racist act. THis is the worse case of racism I have ever seen, black or white. If you don’t like white people do not live here.

You call this the ‘worst’ case of racism you’ve ever seen? I’m guessing you are white?

It’s only racist if it’s a white person that does it. Only whites can be racist. Yawn.
It’s funny how nothing more has been heard about this black women. Her name hasn’t even been released. So I assume she’s had no prison time.
It was a racist anti-white rant, and you can butter it up however you like, we all know the facts.
Nice to hear how you’d have punched Jacqueline Woodhouse. Sums you up nicely.

It is just incredible the lengths people will go to to justify views that are just plain wrong. And indeed, I would suggest that the Duchess of Hackney is racist herself. “I take it you’re white” is a sneering comment based on the perceived colour of a person’s skin. Er, that’s racist. What a sad world we live in where people can justify prejudice on the flimsiest of grounds – whatever colour or creed they are…
