Stop Casually Accusing People OR THIS COULD HAPPEN... 

When the supply of racism doesn't meet the demand

I had a student (one of my black students) complain to me about being pulled over by the cops “because it was racist”. I asked him if he and his friends were doing anything wrong. He said yeah they were speeding, and He had a fake drivers license. 🙄🤦‍♀️. The cop did not even arrest him. He just confiscated the license, took the boy home and towed the car. But they were “racist”. He had been taught early that this was the excuse for everything.

This is why "innocent until proven guilty" should be encouraged throughout SOCIETY not just the law.

The irony is they are holding signs about accountability but not one of them has taken any for what they did. Smh

And I'd bet money that not a single protestor apologized for doing what they did. Seems like people these days are unwilling to 1. wait for facts to come out before making a judgement and then 2. admitting when they are wrong. What happened to people admitting when they screw up? I just don't get it.

It’s sad because these college kids are being conditioned to think this way and automatically believe it’s because the guy is racist. It’s something that flies over their heads but it starts from the top

Reminds me of that controversy several years ago where some journalist called around to various businesses asking if they would cater a gay wedding. They finally found a pizza place that said no. Then they wrote a hitpiece article to drum up massive outrage against this place. Then it came out that the shop said no because they simply just don't cater at all. Manufactured outrage happens when the supply of hate doesn't meet demand.

Miss Meredith told the bakery , they wanted future shoplifters to be handed over to the college instead of calling the police. when the bakery declined she withheld and stopped all order from the college cafeteria regarding the bakery to force the bakery into submission.

True story. I’m black, my friend was black. We were in a shop and I’m grabbing something. When we leave the security asks to check my friends pocket. He goes to 100 immediately…kinda like a black female would get tbh. The manager comes over. My friend is saying “this is racist, we have to deal with this stuff everyday etc” the store owner is trying to calm him down and eventually we leave. We walk for a bit and sit down and he’s getting emotional, he actually started to cry. He’s genuinely hurt by it and he proceeds to continue his thoughts about the terrible state of the country where this kind of racial profiling happens. As he’s telling me this, he pulls out a snickers bar from the store that he stole which is tucked in his belt buckle. HE STOLE! He was entirely oblivious to this objective reality…he DID steal. He’s munching on this snickers bar proceeding with this ‘woe is me’ plight. Not only this, later down the line when racism topic comes up….he retells this story to others without including the fact that he did actually steal. So when people say “my truth” on the topic of racism, it can mean this

The sad part is that the professor that pushed it the most simply moved to another school... No blacklist, no warning or any form of disciplinary action.

I started at Oberlin the year after that happened. All we heard on campus at the time was that “the bakery is racist don’t shop there”. The misinformation and lies and ignorance was incredible. Apparently the protest happened the day after trump was elected, and the students took their anger out on a harmless bakery. When I found out what happened it kind of shook me. One of the things that stopped me from turning into people like them. Also Oberlin is batshit crazy.

When a class of people become privileged, even when they are criminals, we all suffer from it.

What's worse is that the college only 'agreed' to pay the judgement after exhausting all their appeals 3 years after the verdict. They knew they were in the wrong but couldn't admit it.

These people banked out because of this but lost their family store over doing the right thing. This was 5 years ago and it destroyed over 120 years of a family business. That’s crazy.

It's disgusting that even today, the college refuses to take responsibility for the evil they did.

The problem we have is that people are acting out of emotion rather than take a moment to think. It's all about feelings and emotions while logic is thrown out of the window.

Imagine actually stealing, public support, and shutting down a business/ tarnishing a family name.

Freedom of speech when it benefits their defense to be abusive, but “censor them” when against their narratives. The audacity of these people to be victims at all times is crazy. 😂

Things like this hurt people who actually go through racist situations.

"We are disappointed by the court's decision" honestly, i've heard this line so many times

I was in college when this happened. I knew the kids was wrong. I actually argued with my class about it. Couple days later. They were apologizing .

And that, folks, is what sets this channel apart from the regular ones 👏👏👏

The father of the son who caught the kids stealing died before the verdict. That man died before he could see justice be done and the college is still refusing to pay what they owe. This story is so sad. Edit: Just found out Oberlin finally paid the settlement to the bakery after 2 failed appeals. There's a small silver lining in this mess.

I'm actually impressed that the kids admitted guilt and said they weren't arrested due to racism.

This reminds me of the time people protested a spa cause a pre-transtion male, showed little girls his thing. Protesters got mad at the spa, come to fine out the person was a S#×-predator that did that stuff before. You guys covered it.

“If you Jump the gun, better be prepared to be shot in the foot” - Sun Tzu probably

Kind of reminds me of that police stand off with that man who shot through an adjacent apartment that had a mom and two kids and because the guy was a minority and eventually killed by the police after extensive attempts to de-escalate, all these people showed up in the coming days protesting and the mom shows up yelling at them saying " the heck, that man tried to kill me and my kids and now my kids have to see you out here cheering him on! What if we had died? Where would you be? Would you be protesting?" And man, I felt for that family. It was well documented, the bullet holes. The attempts at de-escalation. All that in the name of virtue signaling...

My ex started to accuse me of all kinds of stuff after I broke it off with her. Which did show that I made the right choice. But seeing people choose her side without any evidence, will stay with me for the rest of my life. If there is a crime, go to the police, or, just shut up.

THIS IS WHY WE WAIT FOR THE WHOLE STORY!!!

This generation is the kind that stands silently when a kid gets beaten up, but as soon as they fight back and defend themselves, they side with the bully

Reminds of the time a fastfood restaurant (can't recall which) got the same harassment a couple of years back for a video in which an employer confronted several black teens/young adults for not paying. The locale got dragged through the news cycle for discrimination and enforcing stereotypes yada yada yada. Turns out, people found the teens/young adults' twitters and they all had several posts from around the time the event happened where they BRAGGED about dining and dashing.

This story is an example of people going on feelings and not thinking. No matter the situation, just take a step back and wait. It’s very easy to get caught up in emotions. I’ve learned to just wait until all the facts come out.

Fun fact, Oberlin just last month finally paid the bakery (Sept 2022). This is after 2 failed appeal attempts. Oberlin has never issued a formal apology either.

One thing that story left out: the college tried to get Gibson's bakery to agree to contact the school administration BEFORE police if any future shoplifting was encountered.

It sucks that we live in a day and age where when an old woman is being robbed our first instinct is to attack her for her hypothetical political views instead of protect her. It just blows my mind that not once in the story did anybody defend her or her bakery despite the fact that it's been around for 138 years, that woman is serving the community just like her mom and grandmom did and they treat her this way smh.

I can confirm the Mandela affect does happen a lot. I am a victim to it. I remember vividly going into Electronics Boutique and picking up a copy of Resident Evil on the Gameboy Colour and looking at it perplexed for about 2 or 3 minutes before ultimately putting it back and moving on. This was before the internet was around to spread these kinds of things. I heard years later about the game being in developement but cancelled and never finished. However I still stand by what I saw. It was years before I heard about the game at all and I remember the box art and everything.

One thing not mentioned is that the college use to use Gibsons for catering events. The college canceled all contracts and transactions from that point on thus costing the store lots of business. And the college made it known that they canceled any further business because of this event, even after the shoplifting was confirmed by the suspects. Professors were actually guiding students on what to do in this instance and helping set up the protests. There is media coverage that has footage of faculty members attending the protests. Gibsons had been doing business with the school pretty much since day one and never decided to go back to them once the truth was found out. They should be held 100% accountable for their actions.

I followed this story since day 1. I’m so happy tye bakery finally won, but I’m pretty sure irreversible damage was done to the family that no amount of $$ will cover.

In another college town I lived in, I saw one of my favorite piercing shops get bullied into shutting down its doors because students "claimed" the owner was racist and harrassed any patrons that tried to even enter. They took in secret cameras and would ask him questions that worded in a way that they could try to blackmail him. His answers were taken out of context, and they ended up running the guy out of the state. The school wasnt promoting any of it but their student body took matters into their own hands. Insane how rightous some of these groups get

Never heard of this channel before it just now came up on my feed. It is so so so so so refreshing to finally get an intelligent and honest take on reality. Thank you, dudes. You give me hope for humanity

This was in Ohio for anyone wondering, and the whole protest was organized by the Dean of Students; Meredith Raimondo, who knew full well the truth of the situation the entire time. Last I checked, she still had her job and suffered nothing negative personally.

It's things like this and false r*pe accusations that really make me think that prosecutions shouldn't be publicly reported on till after a verdict is given. Could seriously help to prevent damaging peoples lives unnecessarily.

Am dying at the fact that these ppl were fighting on the behalf of people who already plead guilty

Someone needs to explain to that lady what tortuous interference is and why 1A doesn't protect you from it.

This reminds me of my time in the Marines. We were in Iraq in 2007 and after being with locals maybe 25-30% of us came to the conclusion that the war was a waste and actually just a money grab. The other 70% of people who saw the same things we did dug in their heels and called us traitors and pussies and everything. It took a few years for me to see that their ego couldn't handle accepting that they were tricked and turned into pawns so they had to attack us to save face. It's literally what happens with woke people. The entire ideology is a house of cards and if you start to see it for what it is then you come to a crossroad where either you wake up and promise yourself never again or you dig in deeper and become radicalized even more.

I couldn’t imagine losing a family business that’s lasted over a hundred years because someone stole an item from your store and people tried to ruin your business.

Wokeness involves avoiding accountability.

I am literally at a point where I will not hire anyone under the age of 30. They call it agism I call it "best practice." Every single one of those students should be held accountable for defamation and should have been removed from the school to start over. Its education not indoctrinination. I am 28 and every hire I have made out of college has been entitled, arrogant and lacks professionalism.

So they stole, attacked the shop owner's son and still were made out to be victims? Wow! So these people were slandered and harassed on the word of violent thieves.

A similar thing happened when I was at Evergreen. Yes, that Evergreen. Someone was going around stealing some stuff, and the email sent to students identified them as black. Of course, people freaked out and were stupid. I sent an email saying describing a person isn't racist. These are stupid people, and should be dismissed as such.

It really is just wild how casually you can accuse someone of a whole ideology based on one action

I love finding fellow Canadians who can actually think for themselves. Cheers dudes

College activism ladies & gentlemen

That’s the problem with these woke colleges and universities (nearly ALL of them), they’re teaching kids to act on their emotions, rather than to actually think critically about the issues in today’s society. The rest of us are being dragged down by these clowns.

This kind of shit happens ALL THE TIME. It just either doesn't get reported on, or the suspects get away with it. It's so frustrating

The college encouraged the students to boycott the bakery without having all the facts. Even with the court's ruling, they still refuse to acknowledge that they were wrong and caused a lot of harm to innocent people.

Ahhhh yes Gibson’s Bakery. The worst thing is the college let the proceedings continue on and stalled in court so that the father and his son died.

Absolutely heartbreaking!!! People work hard all their lives and have it all taken away by bored, morally posturing idiots. Absolutely heartbreaking 💔😔

I live in a college town. Colleges in small towns have the money to steamroller local business. This could be the exception where the college was accountable.

After being proved wrong they still do not take accountability. You’re right - people will keep lying to save themselves.

My freshman year of highschool i was accused of sending racist death threats to an ex (i suppose). I dont know if she actually got messages or not, but I know I didnt do it. It really shook me up for a long time. I lost a lot of friends and from then on I didnt know who thought what about me. I felt like everyone around me hated me. In my junior year, I'm still afraid of looking racist, or even like I have a bias towards black people (I also got accused of having a preference towards black girls.) It really makes me sad to see so many false accusations, and the fact they have the ability to harm people so badly. Of course if there is racism, it should be pointed out, but who is helped by randomly pointing fingers at people.

Funny how the college tried to distance themselves after the fact, nah y’all were so confident in believing these students who shoplifted now these are the repercussions.

the truth always comes out. but most of the time it comes out to late, someone's life is already ruined. think before you act. and always question things, never blindly follow.

College President: "When you sit in the seat you know that you don't have all the facts" ... "What they knew at the time drove them" Show host: "That's fair enough" Modern interviewing at it's finest

What's crazy is how common shoplifting is around college campuses. When I was a student, I'd see drunk classmates every weekend show up and steal random shit from the convenience store. What's weird is this was usually the rich "legacy" students as well. I think the bottom line is that a lot of people will shamelessly act like assholes if think they can get away with it.

This doesn't even make me angry anymore it's tiring constantly hearing people protest about shit they don't even know about. It's honestly demotivating to know that people still do this, protect criminals and then proceed to eat shit after they're found guilty for their crime, and instead of being accountable they blame the court for having the "wrong verdict". Bro...

This is seriously messed up. The school tried to bully there way out of the entire situation. When they knew they were wrong. Damn that’s crazy. They deserve everything they get.

Only fun memory of dealing with shoplifters was arresting a lady and handing her over to police, clearly high on many substances, steal $5200.00 of undergarments from La Senza and tried to return them all stained up for the “wrong size” - she actually had to be charged because theft over $5000 which is an indictable offence in Canada

You guys r awesome for talking about the repercussions of false accusations. Lost media ignores the follow up ❤

The wind has changed... *People are NO LONGER taking this shit.*

"We're are disappointed in the court's decision... This matter has been painful for everyone..." That is about the most half A$$ed sorry one could ever find. Literally a sorry not sorry since they're too damn prideful and lost face. This matter has been painful for the Gibsons, not "everyone". "Everyone" who protested, only to be proved wrong, is no where to be found 🙄🤷🏻‍♀️

I can't stand thieves man. You can't even confront them for stealing.

You guys show exemplary character. Time and time again I watch your videos, and you always try to take the side that is aligned to good morals. It's nice to have creators out there who keep it a buck.

The crazy thing about this is that if the student(s) just admit it and gave back the items the store probably would have dropped it and just told them to not come back.

The rumor of Tommy Hilfinger was huge, I was only 16 at the time when it happened and I got some of Tommy Hilfinger clothes for my birthday, so I was wearing them at school the one day and I had this older guy start accusing me of being racist for wearing them. I didn't even know what was happening or what he was talking about, so I just pointed him to the old folks home down the street and asked if he got lost after he wandered out of it.

I am native to Oberlin Ohio. Let me give you guys some context here. I fondly remember Gibsons. It was such a warm and welcoming vibe. I recall no racism. There is a storefront that has housed several businesses, not far from Gibsons (Lorain County natives - y’all remember Yesterdays Ice Cream 😂) and the area itself has changed a lot but Gibsons has remained strong. The area SURROUNDING Oberlin (the town not the college), is very racist. To the point where my mother who is in her early 40s recalls being called the “er” during sports games at rival schools. Oberlin is insulated. We are close-knit community. I have NEVER experienced racism in Oberlin. Wellington? Amherst? Even Elyria and Lorain? Sure. But not Oberlin, the town. In fact, I have felt the most safe as a person of color in my hometown. The college students come in and they have no idea of the community that is standing before them. Always been like that. Outside of the college at its core is a very welcoming and diverse community. A shame this happened to Gibsons and their family - a community staple.

It says so much about someone when that someone is willing to destroy the lives of others without any evidence.

Big ups for the 3 thief’s that admitted that it wasn’t racially motivated. They could’ve took the Smollet route and ride it out for attention, but instead they acted like accountable adults. The same thing can’t be said about their school faculty.

My favorite part of the trial is the documentation of how the students who protested behaved in the cafeteria. These are COLLEGE STUDENTS throwing food and making fits like kindergartners. The defense lawyer even said this college feels more like preschool in terms of emotional growth of its students. 😂😂

Imagine having to pay 25 mil after doing something wrong, not admitting any guilt and throwing some students (you manipulated) under the bus vs. having to pay almost 1 bil over saying something stupid, admitting your mistake and apologizing.

she should've stood back and let those boys catch their smoke

Gibson's really secured the bag. Thank you, woke culture!

Aba(calmly): "...there's a response from Oberlin College..." Preach: "THIS VIDEO IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY SURFSHARK...." I almost shat myself! 🤣😂

Accountability. The difference between responsibility, humility, forthrightness vs. the new standard/cancel culture, i.e. Thank YOU, Abba & Preach.

i hear someone accused of racism i immediately DEMAND VIDEO PROOF of it or call the person an ignorant false accuser as "racism" is thrown around like rice at a wedding so much that it has lost all meaning

We live in scary times. To be a small business owner has to be a nightmare right now. How easily you get screwed over just running your local business.

"Don't believe anything you hear and only 1/2 of what you see." Truer words were never spoke.

I worked at Starbucks and protocol for shoplifting is to not engage w/the person instead we're told to not accuse people and discourage it by politely asking customers if they want us to check them out. Damn all this over pastries!!

Your talking about the same college where they had problems of men working for an HVAC company coming in over breaks and replacing heating and air conditioning units in the rooms on female dorms.

I love you guys and your community's firm leaning towards fairness and realism. I genuinely appreciate you and everyone who takes the time to comment.

If my time in college taught me anything about college, is that they will always try to not take accountability of their actions or anything that happens in their campus. Because stuff like that or any bad stuff that happens in the campus, is bad press for them. And they care more about their reputation and image than doing the right thing. That's why they are always trying to cover and silence everything quickly, to the point of even allowing people who did horrible stuff, scott free.

The Tommy Hilfiger thing is fr though my parents were telling me not to wear it because "he is rac***t" but turns out its just false accusations. Its crazy how easy false information can spread as the truth.

Wow very refreshing and inspirational to see these two Americans and Patriots fighting for the truth! Thank you gentlemen

I've never heard of anyone giving themselves up for stealing. That's wild. That whole protest was pointless now.... 🙄 Planet earth is not a real place anymore.

“…starts to double the validity of those words” this is so true right now. Words are losing their meaning because people are abusing language. Language needs respect

A long time ago, probably at least twenty years back, I recall a law professor of mine posing the question to the class: "If the defendant is a black man and the crime in question is drug related, will his lawyers want to select jury members from his immediate locale (Detroit), or from the surrounding suburban areas?" (which were more predominantly white) The majority of the class picked Detroit, a few of us didn't (I will admit I thought it was Detroit, and just picked suburbs on account of it feeling like a trick question.). The obvious thought is that you would want more black people on the jury than you would a lot of potentially racist whites. The reality of the situation, the professor informed us, was that the suburban whites were largely sheltered from crime and violence, and far more likely to believe that the guy was a victim of the system, while the black (and white) locals of Detroit were living with crime on a regular basis, and more inclined towards 'payback' towards the defendant. I don't know that it would be the same today, but it was definitely a moment that reminds me to take other perspectives into account when shaping my own judgements on a situation.

It's unfortunate that alot of people these days take a very real problem and twist it as a way to escape consequences for their behaviour. From racism to abuse, there are always people who will use these things to escape accountability.

This also leads to the fact that now because of overuse, whenever something or someone is accused of racism, everyone immediately disregards it. When every action against a black person has a "racism accusation" attached to it, its hard to even know when something actually racist happens.

DAMN ...U.S colleges breeding out NPCs faster than my dad leaving me for milk 🥺🥺

These false accusations are EXACTLY the reason why a lot of companies tell their staff not to chase people or confront people that they catch stealing. The company 1. Doesn't want to be held liable if you get hurt/killed in a confrontation. They're afraid you'll sue the company when you get hurt or that your family will sue them if you die. 2. They're afraid of these false accusations, therefore, court costs and wasting their time. 3. They have insurance. But here lies the problem that this passivity creates. Allowing theft to happen in your store emboldens theives. You give them an inch, they take a mile. You let them walk out enough times they'll start robbing cashiers at the till. Maybe even management for the money in the safe. They start to get physical and hurt people just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Which is literally what happened 6 days ago to one of our employees. By a thief that had been in before. Who had never assaulted anyone in our building before. Now that he has, I want him dead. Seriously. The girl her assaulted is physically okay. But not mentally. She's traumatized. Today is her last day with us. I read her letter to us on the management team. I'm heartbroken for her. She's a good worker and didn't deserve this. She wanted to come work with me on the night shift so bad. But being assaulted by just walking into work before she could even clock in did it for her. Everyone has always said we should have security guards. Other locations do. Why not ours? I've come to the conclusion that it's because we work in a rich neighborhood. If rich people see security they will know we are not a safe neighborhood like they assume. They will move away and take their money elsewhere. It's a domino effect. This is why I hardcore hate thieves. Bad enough they get away with stealing but they all eventually become violent where they weren't before. Even towards employees who don't confront them.
