" A woman from Cascade Township, Michigan reportedly called in a false report to police, claiming “gang activity” was going down in her neighborhood. But as Fox17 reports, the alleged gang activity was simply a woman dropping off her kids at their father’s home for the weekend.Patricia Elena, who is an active duty member of the Air Force, says this is the first time she’s encountered the woman, Tammy Postma, who’s been known to lurk around her ex-boyfriend’s home. When Postma began hurling slurs, Elena asked her to calm down for the sake the kids. That’s when Postma became angry and took out her phone to call police. Elena took out her phone as well, but only to capture the incident on video. “She stormed across her yard and said, ‘Get out, you don’t belong here go back to the ghetto,'” Elena said. Luckily for Postma, police let her off with a warning for calling in a false police report. When Fox13 asked Postma about why she made the call, she replied that she “had a couple drinks.” But Elena says Postma’s claim of being a little buzzed wasn’t an excuse for her actions. She also said that she thinks the incident may have been racially motivated. “How could you do that?” Elena said. “How could you subject to people having to live on eggshells and in fear just because of your ignorance and bigotry?”“Meanwhile the next day my son’s asking mom, ‘What did we do wrong? Like we were just laughing.’ How do you explain that to a child?” she added." deadstate.org/woman-calls-in-false-report-of-gang-activity-as-black-family-visits-their-dads-house/

Part of me thinks it was more woman scorned motivated than racially but if I am going to be honest, it was more likely a combination of both.
People are assholes and stuff like this makes me want to move to a very rural home and become that old woman kids tell ghost stories about.

Drinking doesn't change a person's core, it just sometimes lets the real person come shine through.

I wish they would charge these people with a false report, harassment, and fine them heavily. No prison. Just a $20K fine. Might make these assholes think twice before picking up that phone.

Just curious - how did this story out of a small township in the middle of Michigan come across your feed?
I'm not seeing how this is racially motivated?
People are stupid. Drunk people are even stupider.

Sadly, this is going to get worse.
People are now becoming more emboldened to say anything—alcohol induced or not, as alcohol does not create racist/xenophobic views, it only gives the racist/xenophobe that liquid courage to speak.

Drunk people are even stupider. I beg to differ—the woman is not *stupid* she’s racist/xenophobic. You can be stupid and not be one of those things.

Thanks for answering the obvious question, folks. I don't have the energy anymore.

This is Michigan. What does Tammy do whenever she sees non-whites? Explode? If she ever goes to DC, she might just go totally postal.

Waiting for someone to give us an alternate non-racist interpretation of "Go back to the ghetto."

They should have thrown the book at Postma. The only reason they are going easy on her is because she is a white woman. I say this as a white woman myself. Disgraceful.

Ghetto does not equal racist. This is local to me. The ghetto in Cascade Township is more about income and class than color.

Waiting for someone to give us an alternate non-racist interpretation of "Go back to the ghetto." Just did. You can go on all you want about it, but ghetto does not always equal race. It just doesn't. In this area, it's mostly income/class referenced. Now. If the woman being yelled at was of color? Then, yup I'd be all on your side. Not the case though.

You are working awfully hard to defend a bigot. The children the mother was dropping off are black. I live in an incredibly diverse area. "The ghetto" is never used in reference to whites (poor or not) or their neighborhoods. You are being wilfully obtuse.

Unbelievable. Did you watch the video? Of course I did. And? First, the kids are black. Second, what's the visual identifier a person across the street of could see to know a couple of kids' socioeconomic status that would prompt the neighbor to violently yelling at them to go back to the ghetto? It's disgusting you're defending this. It's obvious to anyone with a brain what is going on. It was obvious to the mother who was there. JFC.

Well, she's the same person who defended the parents who told their gay child he was no longer their child and not to come home so....

I was upset about the topic being brought to this forum. So, leave it.
