*Here’s more proof that we are living in strange racist times. A woman in Miami caught on camera what could only be called a racist encounter she had while walking her dog this past Sunday (07-03-16).
The woman, Rayne Burse, was out minding her business walking her dog, Mojito, when a stranger started following her. Burse says she tried to walk away, but, as she told Mic on Tuesday, “She kept following me talking crazy.” So Burse decided to record what was happening.
“That’s when I decided that I shouldn’t lead this lady back to my house and instead record her actions in hopes that she’ll retreat back to hers,” she said.
“I had saw her coming out of the corner of my eye, let her get a bit closer before very politely saying ‘I’m sorry, Ma’am, am I trespassing? Would you like me to leave?’ To which she responded with something like ‘you know what, let me tell you something, you’re from South Miami,'” Burse said.
By the way, Burse recently moved to Miami from Las Vegas.
In the video, which has gone viral, the other woman can clearly be heard repeating “I am going to report you,” and “You’re in it.” However, when the woman reaches out to touch Burse, the encounter quickly turned physical.
The woman who threatened and followed Burse was arrested at the scene. As Burse explained, the entire situation was pretty scary.
“I’m really not in the business of hitting old women, or disrespecting my elders. I tried really hard to deescalate the situation before I even decided to record, and she just wasn’t having it. I felt threatened, and I’m not sure if you can hear in the second video, but I was in the middle of a panic attack.”
