- The microaggressions and aggressions that come with everyday activities when you aren’t white are countless, and one of them is shopping. For example, a woman named Trinity Bethune bought her first car and the dealership posted it on their Facebook and called her “Bon Quisha”. Journalist Mara Schiavocampo breaks down the microaggression and how people can be better allies.
Zerlina.: Incisive and timely coverage of politics and current events, through in-depth conversations that unpack the latest developments in this era's breakneck news cycle and draw back the curtain on their real-world consequences.

"Joy is not optional: it is a necessity." Thank you, Ms. Maxwell, for your thoughtful and informed approach to challenging issues -- and thank you for giving time/space to insightful guests.
So why are they hiding the person that posted this awful ad, why keep his identity hidden, so he can go and get another job, and pull the same stunt again?
If I was a black person in the USA, I would be terrified most of the time.
that someone might get your name wrong? Oh the humanity 🙄
@@randomcheese1719 GOD I had to search WAY TOO HARD TO FIND THIS COMMENT! THANK YOUUUU
@@randomcheese1719 You're missing the point of the video. It's not just about "getting a name wrong". Pay attention if you can
I have a bad habit of always smiling when I'm face to face with people, even at my lowest point (mentally or physically), I really hate that about myself!! The lockdown was excellent for my anxiety & mental health.
My brother asked me once why I'm always smiling. At the time it was actually an attack but it also highlighted that I go out of my way to make others comfortable to my detriment.
If you can shift that into a smirk instead it will be them hating it instead of you. Sarcasm works well. :) By the way, I bet you have a nice smile. Save that one for people who deserve it.
@@DeborahWalkerXOXO awwwe Debs that's SOOO terrible I am so sorry you have to live a life so high and virtuous above everybody else because you're such a better person even tho the whole world is against you because this is all just completely here because of you.. to revolve around you, the world spins. I apologize for making you the female newage Jesus
You really should go around spitting on people you perceive as deserving of your hatred for mankind. Bet you make a Killin out there
@@TheCaj2012 sis! Do you know me?!
I’m Hispanic and black and I keep seeing it get more prevalent it sucks
Or how about when you are out at lunch with all white coworkers at a circular table, and the waitress begins taking orders right next to you so you can be served last. Should I go on?
Omg I knowwww!!!! Or like when you're pulling up to an intersection and the light turns red before you get to go making you have to wait for every single other direction to get to go ahead of you!? We know why those cameras are on them light poles. We ain't dumb. And then it's totally on purpose to make you sit there in the front so everybody can stare with their racist eyes
As a server, that’s not racist or a micro aggressions. We just pick a person and go from there.
@@noonie2525 yeah always your people.
Oddly enough my ex-husband and I were followed by security everywhere in multiple shops, including one that insisted upon standing behind me in line to the checkout and move up the line with me, right after we both shaved our heads in support of a friend with cancer. I understand how difficult that is to deal with.
This was such a great segment, Zerlina.
Thank you.
Wow. I was just talking about this to my therapist. The grocery store, the pharmacy. A trip to Little Island as a single trans woman of color. Being followed, subpar services, etc.
"If it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger." YES. It takes so much strength and fortitude to wipe the slate clean several times a day. Thank you Zerlina and guest.
Black men endure much more.
Is firing the employee necessarily the best way this could have been handled as in a way it kind of lets off the hook both the employee and the dealership. Here is what I would consider to be a more equitable settlement for the incident. The dealership should take back the Camry and upgrade her to something like a Crown or Sequoia at no charge (with complementary gas for at least a year) to show that they are actually really upset at the mistake that was made on their behalf. As to the employee, the dealership should continue to pay their salary, and the employee should be made to be the chauffeur for Trinity for a year. This makes the offending employee have to interact with the person that they offended so they actually get to know and interact with a black person which is something that they likely do not do on a regular basis, and that is why they have developed this attitude towards black people. It would put them in a position to serve the very person they offended and get to know them to reduce their racial prejudice. Reducing and eliminating racial bias and prejudice takes interaction of all people.
Can’t even express normal human emotions.
Good subject and presentation. Thank you.
The thing about micro-aggressive behaviour is that those who perpetrate it, can rely on the ready-made defenders within the community against which the behavior is directed. Those ignoramuses defend the odious acts of micro-aggression because its subtlety evades their cognitive ability.
Yes, Thank you 😊 I now have space for creativity 💞
Very well said. Dr. Khilanani speaks on this very subject.
strong women survive! hats off to the vs woman under assault by that white heifer, but if you aggressively enter some black ladies’ space, you could and should live to regret it dearly!
😢FROM "SOME" OF THESE COMMENTS?? I SEE THE REASON FOR THIS VIDEO AND TO LEAVE AMERIKKKA IS SOO IMPORTANT. TO THE WHITE PPL WHO TRY AND UNDERSTAND IN THE COMMENTS? THANK ❤YOU!!! ALL WE WANT IS TO BE LOOKED AT AS EQUAL HUMANS. NONE OF US ARE ASKED TO BE BORN THIS COLOR OF SKIN! COMEDIAN: GEORGE CARLIN SAID IT BEST! MAY HE REST IN PEACE❤
I enjoyed listening to this
They could give her the car…. 👀
I could understand that due to america's history. Its still hard for some people to live together in peace. But as for me i respect you and your culture. And i think thats because i am not from usa.
Basically i think you're cool. Media helped me a lot. Movies and music doesn't matter old ones or a new ones taught me about black people's life difficulties. And i can't treat you nothing but with respect. The way you treat your brothers and sisters reminds me how we shold treat each other. And everytime i get emotional.
Regards
I found it interesting in my travels, the most overt discomforts were in the US. I have lived in Scandinavia for 14 years and never had such constant, overt issues as in the US. I found it so nice to be simply looked at as a person, an American.
@@magsbayou I MISS GROWING UP IN GERMANY 🇩🇪 ❤YOU'RE SO CORRECT.
We live in a society where people are so privilaged they now need to make up ways that are oppressed
We have to armor-up because loser is still alive and the South is emboldened to say what they are doing instead of pockets of them just doing it.
EXTREMIST POLICE & MILITARY: WTF are the US military still doing in Germany with 34 facilities?
Are the military learning to be Nazis? 1945: US 5 eyes spy system created. 1960: Elvis films GI Blues.
Is there any hope for the George Floyd Justice and Policing Act?
Thank you for this; when something like this occurs, how can we help to prevent it from happening in the future? I won't say I know what it feels like as a Caucasian woman, but I want to help people see the beauty I see in the black women I see and know. I will admit that I still have a long way to go to understand the real plight and racial horrors that exist in this world!
Call it out stand up for us cause we can’t or we are the perceived as dangerous or aggressors
So someone please explain the 'Bon Quisha' remark.
I checked online, inc Urban Dictionary, and there are at least a dozen meanings offered, and only one or two that could be construed as racist. TY
Assuming that because she was black she must have an “exotic” and “weird” name.
😂😂😂😂😂
What about microaggressions against Asian people?
Why is it only when it is black people that this is explored??😊😊
bUT wHaT ABoUt MEeE! Are you serious? You guys have a hate crime bill passed to protect you. Go center yourself somewhere else. 🙄
Meanwhile, the whole mainstream media is referring to white women as "Karens". Move along nothing to see here.
Are u serious, white woman are the most praised and pandered phenotype of all Time FOH. Also “Karen’s” are literally calling the cops for anything wasting tax payer money. I used to like u mfs but I think I really hate u guys also.
Nice try with the gaslighting. WW being called “Karen’s” for a very short time in history doesn’t compare to what us BW have been going through for generations.
@@umberwyld❤❤THAT PART!!!😢
People write names wrong all the time. It's not only black people. These this is crazy
This was not a case of writing her name wrong however. Bonequisha ≠ Trinity in any way.
Not to mention she was called a "ghetto" name
If you don't know someone's name you don't write that. The person who did that knew exactly what they were doing. It was racist and extremely unprofessional.
@@tweety1864 well said
Knock it off with that BS
we wuz microaggressed in shieet
Whatever alabaster supremacist.
Jesus leave the car dealership alone
