So I read the incident from Scott's perspective. The subject was also
titled "A very racist encounter..." There was no specific point of Robb
being racist.
" After Deon was able to enter Omni, Rob then started following him around
and harassing him, acting like a cop. Although this is egregious in and of
itself, and a terrible counter-representation of the Omni's values, this
all came to a head when Rob accused Deon of not being "an actual, normal,
human being".
If anything it is racist against the whole human race, not just one
specific race.
Then I feel the next part was a clear interpretation, of a non-racist event
taking place.
Whether or not this was intentional, it evoked longstanding racist
attitudes that black folks have been subjected to, suggesting that Deon was
less-than, or sub-human. Deon was so offended that he promptly left the
Omni and has not been back since. "
Then once again there is the misleading subject of "A racist encounter...."
Are there any data points that may have been overlooked that could give us
a better understanding of why a person would consider another person a
racists, when the only thing I gather is Human Being which may translate to
Human Race, yet then again that means all races.
Just trying to understand how Robb is being considered a racist, by an
interpretation of what seems to me being a "non-racist" statement.
Thanks

Classic.
let it be known also that 'serious accountability process' is not the
same as 'mediation' and I hope it is treated as the former, not the
latter..

All, I hope my intrusion is a helpful one.
I'm viewing this from pretty
far away.
I can easily imagine myself responding in the way Robb describes,
without any racist intent. I can easily imagine it being legitimately
interpreted as racist. I think the situation Robb describes is one in which
balancing the needs for friendliness, security, and respect for oneself and
others in the building would be *difficult*, and it's easy to err in any
number of ways without ill intent. So I don't think any of you arguing
about it necessarily have different values or even desire different
outcomes.
I don't think that an email list discussion is going to lead to an
outcome either/any of you want.
There was some mention of mediation, and I think that kind of structure
could be helpful, if there's somebody willing to mediate. Is it possible to
come up with a simple set of protocols to follow when somebody rings the
bell, but can't demonstrate a reason they should be admitted?
Maybe having instructions readily available would help people in Robb's
position respond in a way that everybody could appreciate. I sincerely
doubt he wanted to do otherwise, even if his actions came off as hostile
and lead to undesirable results.

@ Niki,
i admit i got annoyed by the singular long ring of the door bell but
i think i'll take anti-oppression advice from someone other than the one
who originally started the bad blood with Almaz by refusing to allow her to
be an equal in your previous cafe enterprise
