Well, to be fair, that video you showed is a woman screaming over his inauguration. The moment he truly became president.Those protesters...they were just being emotional babies.
But for the other thing, they literally said from the beginning they are going to specifically shout at the sky. The whole thing was billed that way.
The other instances are people just throwing tantrums. Here is my favorite, two videos of the same event, one picking up right after the other, but from a different angle:
It's sad, I can't even laugh at it.

Indeed. She has some mental issues that she needs help with.
...dadudemon tangent time...
We wouldn't laugh (if you were any sort of educated and mature) at a man struggling to walk who had Cerebral Palsy so why is it okay to laugh at a person who clearly has a mental illness?
Both of them have "defects."
It's easier for us to classify and assign acceptable reactionary behaviors to physical illnesses because we can quickly observe and digest the situation. Not so for mental illnesses. I think this is culture.

True, but I detest immaturity more than racism.

Which makes them different from racists how?

Racism is not rational. "Mature" racists simply look to have their prejudices confirmed. That is an entrenched, nigh-impenetrable confirmation bias that is worse than emotion-based decision-making.

The difference is that one is visible and the other is not. Observers can see a physical disability, but they cannot see mental illness. So they think it is someone who is behaving badly.

Lol. I just can't help but laugh. Her feeble attempts at throwing that trash can...come on now. Then her "Omg I believe in equal rights!". She's not retarded. just spoiled and dumb. They have not had to use critical thinking skills because they have been able to tantrum their way out of everything prior to this.

Indeed. There's a big problem in people not understanding mental illness properly. I've known someone who hanged himself because of poor handling of his depression, because despite him actually having a doctor's verification that he is diagnosed with it, people still said he should "get over it".
Sad.

I think it'd help if someone tried to calm her down instead of 20 people filming...

These people aren't her shrinks or her friends. She is an adult throwing a temper tantrum in public. It's not on other people to curb her spoiled behavior. The fact she was dumb enough to do this in public during a time when everyone has a phone with a camera on it is her own stupid choice.
Originally posted by SurturIt's concerning knowing how this one outburst of hers may have just ruined any prospect of her landing a job after college (presuming she's in school).

Do you believe racism is innate to all people?
As in, are white liberals and white conservatives likely both racist to varying degrees?
I ask, because I've heard tell by some activists that the goal of social activism isn't to stamp out racism.. It's to keep it "in the closet", and make sure there's a stiff social cost for expressing racism.

Did you mean hilarious and type concerning? Lol.
Just kidding(half kidding). But if someone denies her some job over this she'll just play the victim.
Racism is never going away, at least not the idea that humans will continue to stereotype and discriminate out of instinct/irrationality.
E.g
Walking down the streets of Cleveland, I tend to have a physiological reaction in the form of increased heart-rate, diaphoresis, etc when a person, whether they be of African American or Caucasian descent, approaches me on the sidewalk wearing bummy clothes.
I don't experience the same reaction when someone is wearing business casual attire and their appearance is neat.
Would someone like to explain to me what is happening here and how it differs from racism? Instead of discriminating based on skin color I do so by overall appearance.

On the other hand, if this is the kind of person she is shouldn't an employer have a right to know?
