THIS IS ANOTHER VIDEO OF
REPORTED RACIAL PROFILING THAT WAS OVER
THE PICTURE, THIS IS A GROUP OF WOMEN.
THEY ARE FROM A GROUP THAT GOES GOLFING ALL THE TIME.
THEY ARE BLACK WOMEN.
THEY ARE FROM SISTERS IN THE FAIRWAY.
IT IS A DECADE OLD CLUB THAT GOES OUT.
THERE IS MORE THAN THESE WOMEN IN IT, BUT THEY GO TO GOLF
COURSES AROUND THEIR AREA.
THEY WENT TO THE GRANDVIEW GOLF CLUB WHERE THEY ARE MEMBERS
AND THEN THINGS GOT HEATED AND THIS WAS POSTED ON ONE OF THE
WOMEN'S FACEBOOK PAGES.
SHE SAID:
I AM ALSO A GOLFER, AND JUST
WATCH THIS VIDEO AND YOU CAN
TELL BY THE WAY THESE WOMEN HANDLE THEMSELVES WHEN THE OWNER
APPROACHES THEM, THEY DO KNOW THE RULES OF GOLF.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK.
THEY TOOK A 20 MINUTE BREAK IN BETWEEN HOLES.
WE DIDN'T.
YES, WE COUNTED.
WHY ARE YOU COUNTING?
YOU WERE GETTING ON THE GREEN DESK
WAIT A MINUTE.
ARE YOU A RANGER?
THEY ARE RIGHT BEHIND US.
ARE YOU ARE RANGER?
YES.
THEY'RE RIGHT BEHIND US NOW.
SO YOU DIDN'T COME OVER TO SAY ANYTHING TO US.
THEY ARE RIGHT BEHIND US NOW JUST STARTING, THAT MEANS THEY
TOOK 20 MINUTES TO GET FROM 9 TO 10.
WHY ARE WE BOTHERING PEOPLE?
LET'S SAY THEY DON'T KNOW THE RULES OF GOLF AND THEY WERE
GOING TOO SLOW.
IS IT ILLEGAL TO GOLF TOO SLOWLY?
THERE IS NO REASON TO CALL THE COPS OVER THIS.
THERE IS.
I WENT TO FAIRWAYS GOLF CAMP AT THE ENCINO BALBOA GOLF AREA IN
LOS ANGELES AS A JUNIOR GOLFER AND THEY TEACH YOU, YOU HAVE
TO TAKE A TEST ON THE RULES.
YOU GET FIVE MINUTES TO CHECK A BALL.
TO TRY TO FIND A LOST BALL.
EVERYTHING THAT THEY WERE SAYING WAS SPECIFICALLY IN REFERENCE
TO THE TYPICAL THINGS THAT HAPPEN ON THE COURSE.
YOU SAY ARE YOU ARE RANGER?
THE RANGERD ARE PEOPLE WHO RIDE AROUND IN THE GOLF CARTS
TO MAKE SURE THE KINDS OF THINGS DON'T HAPPEN.
DID YOU WARN ME?
ALL THOSE
THINGS ARE THINGS THAT PROVE THAT THESE LADIES OF THE
FAIRWAY KNOW THEIR GOLF INSIDE AND OUT.
BUT WHY CALL THE COPS?
WHY DO WE HAVE TO CALL THE COPS ON JUST BLACK PEOPLE JUST
TRYING TO LIVE, JUST SITTING THERE NOT BREAKING ANY LAWS.
IT IS RIDICULOUS AND THEN WE HAVE MASS MURDERERS GET TREATED
WITH MORE DIGNITY AND RESPECT AND SAFETY AND PROFESSIONALISM
BY THE POLICE THAN WOMEN WHO WERE GOLFING TO SLOW, MAYBE.
AT LEAST THE POLICE DID NOT ESCALATE THE SITUATION.
THE POLICE SHOWED UP, LOOKED AROUND AND WERE LIKE ARE YOU
SERIOUS?
IN THAT SITUATION THEY SAID NOTHING HAD HAPPENED.
THERE IS NO NEED TO CALL A.
IT JUST SEEMED LIKE THE PEOPLE WHO OWNED THE GOLF COURSE WERE
TAKING TOO MUCH OF AN ISSUE WITH THIS PERSONALLY.
SHE SAID THAT THE OWNER TRIED TO APPROACH THEM EARLY ON AND
THEN SHOULD Following THEM.
THEY GOT TO THE TURN, BETWEEN THE NINTH AND THE 10TH
HOLE WHERE YOU GET A SANDWICH AND THEN YOU MOVE ON.
SHE SAYS WORDS LIKE, WE WERE PLAYING READY GOLF WHICH IS
EXACTLY THE TERM YOU USE AND YOU CAN SEE THE MOMENT AND THAT
VIDEO WHEN SHE ASKS THE OWNER, WERE YOU COUNTING?
WIRY ACCOUNTING?
AND SHE SAID, DID YOU APPROACH US TO ASK US TO MOVE FASTER?
AND YOU CAN SEE ON HIS FACE, HE'S LIKE, NO I DIDN'T.
SHE HAS ME NOW BUT HE DOES NOT RELENT.
HE CALLS THE POLICE.
IT IS SO FRUSTRATING.
THE REASON WE TALK ABOUT IT IS IF IT DOES NOT HAPPEN TO
YOU, HOW WOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT IT?
THE TERM THAT COMES UP, WHITE PRIVILEGE.
IN SOME WAYS, I HAVE SAID THIS 1000 TIMES, IT IS KIND OF AN
IRRITATING TERM BECAUSE IF YOU LIVED IN NEBRASKA YOU ARE LIKE
I NEVER GOT TO PLAY GOLF, I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TOO.
I COULD KEEP USING THE ROSCOE BUT IT COULD BE ANYWHERE IN
THE COUNTRY DIET DOES NOT MEAN THE OF MONEY OR WHATEVER.
THERE GROUP IS CALLED SISTERS OF THE FAIRWAY AND THEY GOLF
REGULARLY.
THAT MEANS THEY PROBABLY HAVE A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY, THEY ARE
PROFESSIONALS AND I DO NOT HAVE THE KIND OF MONEY TO GO
GOLFING ALL THE TIME.
I DON'T HAVE TIME, BUT THEY DO.
BLESS THEIR HEARTS.
BUT IT NEVER HAPPENED TO YOU, SO HERE IS A SITUATION WHERE IF
YOU EVER WENT ON A GOLF COURSE, THEY NEVER DID THIS TO YOU.
I DO PITCH AND PUTT.
I AM NOT LIKE BRETT.
PAR THREE, YOU KNOW.
DON'T GET ME WRONG, IT IS NOT MINIGOLF.
A LOT OF TIMES I GO SLOW.
YOU KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE I AM CHEAP.
IF I LOSE A BALL, I DON'T FOLLOW THE FIVE MINUTE RULE DYKE IS
LOOKING AND LOOKING BECAUSE I AM UNBEARABLE.
AND SOMETIMES SOMEONE WILL GIVE YOU A GLANCE BUT NOBODY CALLS
THE COPS.
THEY CANNOT TELL WHAT I AM SO THEY DO NOT CALL THE COPS ON
ME AND I WOULD IMAGINE THAT 99 100
TIMES, PROBABLY HUNDRED OUT OF 100 TIMES AND NEVER CALLED THE
COPS ON YOUÖ LIKE HIM IS EXACTLY RIGHT.
YOU WANT TO GET GOING, HEY MOVE A LITTLE FASTER.
BY THE WAY, THEY WERE BACKED UP BEHIND THE PEOPLE IN FRONT OF
THEM.
I MEAN, THEY DID NOT EVEN DO ANYTHING WRONG BY GOLF
STANDARDS.
THE REPORT IS THAT THEY WERE UNDER TWO HOURS ON THE FRONT
NINE WHICH IS LIGHTNING FAST.
THEY HAD FIVE PEOPLE.
ALSO, I AM SORRY TO BE SO INSIGHTFUL.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.
FIVE HOURS IS A LITTLE ALONG TIME.
TO AND HAVE HOURS ON THE FIRST HALF AS LONG, THEY DID UNDER
TWO HOURS SO NO ONE WAS GOING SLOW DIET WAS PROBABLY SOMEONE
WHO WAS JUST THEMSELVES, IT IS USUALLY ON A GOLF COURSE WHEN
SOMEONE IS MAD AT YOU, THEY HAVE HAD A BAD WEEK AND THEY CAME
TO THE GOLF COURSE AND INSTEAD OF TAKING IT OUT ON THE BOLICK
YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO, YOU TAKE IT OUT ON SOMEONE ELSE AT THE
RANGE AND OBVIOUSLY, THEY DECIDED TO SINGLE OUT THIS GROUP
BECAUSE THEY WERE DIFFERENT AND THAT IS FRUSTRATING.
BUT LIKE BRETT SAID, I WANT TO GIVE CREDIT TO THE COPS.
THEY GIVE FOR NOT GOING BALLISTIC, LITERALLY, OR
TRYING TO ARREST THEM AND GOING HEY GUYS, THEY WILL LITTLE SLOW.
WE ARE ALL GOING TO BE OKAY.
IF THAT, WHICH THEY DIDN'T, BUT IT IS OKAY.
AND JUST THE LAST THING IS, CAN YOU UNDERSTAND THE FRUSTRATION
OF SOME GROUPS IN THIS COUNTRY WHEN THEY GET STOPPED FOR
WALKING.
THAT WAS ANOTHER STORY WE DID, GUY WALKING ACROSS THE STREET
AND JUST BRUTALLY ASSAULTED BY THE COPS IN THAT CASE.
JAYWALKING?
THERE WAS NOBODY AROUND, IT WAS THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
PREPOSTEROUS.
DRIVING, NEVER PLAYING GOLF, FOR ASKING FOR A PLASTIC FORK AT
A WAFFLE HOUSE.
THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.
HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE THEIR FRUSTRATION?
I SEE IT CLEAR AS DAY, I HOPE THAT WE CAN AT LEAST SHED SOME
LIGHT ON IT SO YOU CAN GO YEAH, YOU ARE RIGHT.
THAT DOES
NOT HAPPEN TO ME BUT IT DOES SEEM TO HAPPEN TO THEM A LOT.
