When Snider, who is white, confronts the women for racial profiling, she is told that charcoal grills are illegal in that part of the park, and threatens the Black family with jail.
The rest of the clip is a glorious example of what happens when a true ally is sick and tired of seeing another white person cry wolf. Snider proverbially sinks her teeth into this woman and goes in on this woman as she records their interactions for over twenty minutes.
Theyve got other things to do other than sit here and listen to another white lady complain about black people in Lake Merritt Park, Snider says. This is a park for everybody.
She mocks the woman as the f***ing coal Nazi police, and keeps the camera focused on her face as the woman blatantly lies and tells dispatchers the family is threatening her.
When Snider follows the white woman across the street to a convenience store, in a moment of true irony the woman begins to sob and screams Im being harassed, when the truth is before another white person came onto the scene she was the one who had been harassing the Black family for hours.

A large cookout was thrown in Lake Merritt Park in Oakland, California, just two weeks after a white woman called the police on a black family while they were having a barbecue.
<snip>
In response to the viral video, a cookout was thrown on Thursday, May 10, at the very same spot the woman called the police on Snider and her friends.
This how we feel about mad ass Oakland gentrifiers, Michael Swanson Jr. said, capturing the cookout and people dancing the electric slide during the cookout. The video has been viewed over 320,000 times and has been shared over 7,000 times on Facebook.

Kudos to Ms. Snider on the proper use of one's own white privilege to deal with other white people's racist bullshit.

(62,265 posts)Then within seconds, literal seconds, she straightens up and goes to her phone to find the supposed charcoal thing. While I do think the filmer did dwell a bit too long (the video is like 25 mins long, most of it with the camera in her face), this is justice served.
I have no doubt whatsoever the black folks' witness testimony of that woman was truthful, that she came out there yelling at them, using racial slurs, and overall was causing a nuisance.
At least it appears to have been a minor distraction for the black family, and it may have gave them something to talk about wypipo.
