Another case of a woman falsely accusing black men
Edited on Wed May-27-09 06:44 PM by cherokeeprogressive
Bonnie Sweeten, who along with her nine year old daughter was supposedly abducted by two black men last evening has been found. Her story during a "frantic" 911 call stated that after a "crash", she and her daughter were forced into the trunk of a late model Cadillac. That is supposedly where the call came from.

Yeah. Her and her daughter were at DISNEYWORLD. Seems she cleaned out all the bank accounts to the tune of approx. $300,000 and split.

Mother and daughter now in custody.

Fucking bad person.

22. Because in written forums
sarcasm does not carry well without visual clues.

Unless you really think that the statement taken literally was actually correct?

5. Singling out "blue-eyed blonde" women is not cool either
She is a woman, a liar, a thief, but I don't see why her hair color is relevant.

6. And the word "bitch" used to be frowned upon, too.
I guess it's only cool depending on who you're attacking.

8. You can alert mods over hate speech
I think this qualifies. She's a hatemonger and a racist, but agreed sexual slurs only weaken our cause

15. We'll have to disagree.
I think the noun "bitch" is specifically and culturally used to keep women from exerting power in personal & social interactions. It's not a noose, but it's just as intimate.

35. Oddly enough, Bonnie Sweeten is, of all things, a blue-eyed blonde.
:shrug:

Apparently I'm not the only one who thought that information was pertinent to the story. It seems as though Pennsylvania's Amber Alert Web Site thought it might be pertinent, as well as America's most wanted, not to mention the Bucks County Courier Times, which is the county the bullshit abduction happened in. There's also the website Help Find The Missing dot org. They thought it was relevent to the story too.

So, once she's found, her physical description should be hidden? I would have added her height and weight as well, but that would have only proven my heightism and weightism. I do apologize for using the word bitch though. I am after all, just a man.

39. "Another case of a blue-eyed blonde woman falsely accusing black men"
Edited on Wed May-27-09 08:10 PM by Stephanie
Your thread title characterizes a whole group of people based on their appearance, at the same time that you are, rightly, outraged over this person's racist lie. If you don't see what's wrong with that you really should change your screenname.

43. "a blue-eyed blonde". A "blue-eyed blonde".
Edited on Wed May-27-09 08:28 PM by cherokeeprogressive
Not "blue-eyed blondes everywhere". Not "a bunch of blue-eyed blondes".

I will concede that "blue-eyed blonde" was a poor way of describing a "white woman" who's falsely accused black men of a crime against her being. Would "white woman" have irked you just as much? After all, that would have characterized a much larger group of people, as not all "white women" have blue eyes, nor do they all have blonde hair.

It's strange to me, that in a thread about the false accusations of a very bad female who just happens to be white, blue-eyed, and blonde, the two largest subthreads are arguments about how you feel she was "characterized". Not about her actions, her theft, and her possible kidnapping of a young child, but how she's described. Not about the fact that she put black men all over Pennsylvania and the tri-state area in jeopardy, but how she was "characterized".

Damn I feel like calling her right now and apologizing. But I'm not going to.

Edited on Wed May-27-09 08:41 PM by Stephanie
The reason your characterization of her is offensive is because you are outraged, again rightly, by her false stereotyping and racism in accusing her imaginary attackers, and yet you do not hesitate to use the opportunity to stereotype a whole group of women by saying "another blue-eyed blonde woman." It's inherently, blatantly hypocritical. And offensive.

36. (shrug) If you're oh-so-concerned about blue-eyed white women being stereotyped...
Then maybe you have an inking, and a small one at that, of how black folks might feel.

Except it's real, for them.

48. Bloo shows equal amounts of racism as those he complains about.
This isn't new. If someone generalized about black people the way he does white people his shit couldn't escape his ass fast enough.

He's also an intellectual coward, so don't expect an honest exchange of anything even remotely intelligent.

And lastly, your post is an insult to pieces of work. ;)

12. Hah! I KNEW it!! How on earth could a woman be abducted at 2:00 PM in broad daylight at the...
...corner of Street Rd. and Second Street Pike in Southampton (8 lanes of backed-up traffic), and NO ONE calls 911 is beyond me. Simply not possible.

I'm glad the little girl is ok.

Mother needs to be put away. Black men indeed...

13. Kind of makes you wonder why she'd do such a thing...
Edited on Wed May-27-09 06:56 PM by Number23
Maybe because it's been done sooooo many other times and the perpetrators have barely gotten a slap on the wrist when called out on their racist, hateful lies which had the potential to affect entire communities of people??

Nah... must be another reason...

Edit: The article doesn't say that the two men were black. Was that described somewhere else or has that become the norm so often that we don't even have to ask that question anymore???

26. I read it earlier in a different place:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090527/ap_on_re_us/us_victims_in_trunk

<snip>
Sweeten, who is white, described her abductors as black males but gave few details of their appearance, Vanore said. "It was pretty generic," he said.

27. try here

http://www.upi.com/Top_News/2009/05/27/Philly-mom-kid-sought-in-possible-kidnap/UPI-77041243436035/

PHILADELPHIA, May 27 (UPI) -- The FBI says it is treating the disappearance of a suburban Philadelphia mother and daughter as a kidnapping following the discovery of their abandoned vehicle.

The sport-utility vehicle was found in Center City Wednesday, about 12 hours after Bonnie Sweeten called 911 from her cell phone and told the operator she had been locked in the trunk of a Cadillac driven by two African-American males.

Special Agent J.J. Klaver told the Philadelphia Inquirer investigators were chasing down some leads in the case, but declined to elaborate.

Yeah that was just stupid on the woman's part. Everything she did was wrong. Whether the police would have been looking for two black men, two Hispanic men, two white men, either way, this stupid lady could have ruined two peoples lives. Thank goodness she was caught and arrested

44. speaking of the Susan Smith case..which was horrendous..
i lived in Charlotte at the time...and the night they arrested her, all the local TV stations were 'live' at the Union, SC courthouse square...

there were a LOT of good old boys and girls, redneck as they could be, who for days had been whipped into a frenzy about 'black men stealing little white babies...'...

and, as they took her into the courthouse, one of the stations interviewed 'biker chick' in black harley cut-off t-shirt and asked her what she thought about the situation...

her response: "Hey, just turn her loose. Let her go. Just send her ass out here to the square."

...even dyed-in-the-wool rednecks don't like to be played as fools with the race card...

47. In a just world, she would get sentenced whatever two black men who REALLY abuducted...
a blonde white woman & daughter would get sentenced by an all-white jury in America.

Alas, that world is not this one.

In this world, they give such women probation, and call black folks "oversensitive".
