The white woman who called the police on an 8-year-old black girl who was selling water outside her San Francisco apartment says she's not racist and that she was only pretending to call.

The woman, Alison Ettel, was contacted by the Huffington Post.

“This has no racial component to it,” she said.

She also told HuffPo that she only “pretended” to call the police on the girl.

In the video, shot by the girl's mother and posted to Instagram, Ettel tried to hide behind a wall as she was filmed.

“This woman don’t want a little girl to sell some water, she’s calling the police on an 8-year-old girl,” the girl's mother said.

After being busted, Ettel said she was “horrible and heart-wrenched."

She said the issue was noise.

“They were screaming about what they were selling,” she said. “It was literally nonstop. It was every two seconds, ‘Come and buy my water.’ It was continuous and it wasn’t a soft voice, it was screaming... I had been putting up with this for hours, and I just snapped."

2. The truth comes out with a "but" every single time - "I'm not a racist, but .... ".

3. "Pretending to call the police"

For who's benefit?, did she tell the girl she was calling the police to get her to stop?, I bet not.

You did it you own it, too late for making up stories, too late for apologies.

If you don't want to be called a racist then don't be a racist.

I wish I could use a few words that good taste prevents me from using here but they are much more effective in person anyway.
