Oregon knife-wielding white woman hurls racial slurs over parking, black couple says

A knife-wielding white woman in McMinnville, OR, erupted into a racist diatribe and attacked a young black couple during a parking lot spat on Christmas Eve, according to the young mother who captured the scene on video.

Emora Roberson, 20, said she was driving with her boyfriend, her aunt and her 15-month-old daughter Monday when the family stopped at a strip mall on Oregon 99W about 2 p.m. to pick up a last-minute gift. Their KIA Sedona pulled up next to a pickup truck parked in front of a Domino’s Pizza, Roberson said. Shortly after, the pickup’s driver began hurling racist slurs at the family. Roberson said it was all because her aunt had “parked crooked.”

“My daughter was fast asleep, and this woman was basically trying to get into our car,” Roberson told The Oregonian/OregonLive in a phone interview Friday morning. She added that the woman was parked in a handicapped spot. According to Roberson, the enraged woman slapped and spit on her boyfriend, Keysuan Goodyear. Goodyear grew angry and warned the woman about her behavior and language. The woman responded by whipping out a knife.

That’s when Roberson said she began filming the incident on her phone.
Roberson said she contacted the McMinnville police about the incident. Capt. Rhonda Jaasko told The Oregonian/Oregonlive on Friday that the case is under investigation.

And I wonder what percentage of incidents go unreported. It's too much.

Perhaps showing this bullshit is the best outcome of smartphones. Cause they sure have their downside!

Rump has given the deplorables license to be assholes, but he has also caused many more people to expose the racism that exists all over this country.

Being from the South this behavior is normal and minorities have put up with it forever.

We can blame trump for a lot. But not this behavior.

The only difference is we are now seeing it.

But as a white Man maybe I am not the best judge.

I don't know. It seems like it to me, but I'm not living in the south. I'm going off of what people here on DU report. You are the first person to say there has been no change. Now, I'm not saying that there were suddenly racists where none existed before. I'm just saying that either they are acting out more or people have been recording the behavior and posting it more... or both.

I have lived 53 years in the Deep South. This shit has happened forever.

Never forget. Less than 70 years ago we had lynchings.

The only thing I am shocked about is that so many liberals living in progressive, white areas are shocked.

They are seeing it now.

I don't understand why they are filled with such hatred. I hope to hell they start throwing people like this in jail. These people need to know that there are consequences for their actions.

Listen to just 30 seconds of the hatred they broadcast 24/7 on over 1,200 radio stations in every nook and cranny of this country, or a few minutes of Faux News and you'll understand.

Maybe we should do something about that.

But I agree, we should do something about it if this is what it brings about.
