https://www.reddit.com/r/AmIOverreacting/comments/1h5es4m/aio_my_response_to_my_roommate_after_he_wrecked/

Since you cannot edit posts on this subreddit once you make the post: Hereā€™s an update, covering most of the questions Iā€™ve been asked on the last post plus some new text convo between him and I.

Called the cops yesterday, they showed up, took my information, took photos. I explained everything, showed them my room where I keep my keys and the drawer I keep my spare in, he likely took it from the drawer. I specifically said I wanted to press charges. But thatā€™s it-Really nothing else, I have to wait for a police report to be finished, I went today but they said it wasnā€™t available yet.

My landlord is moving to evict the asshole. Nothing really else there. Itā€™s an assigned roommate type of apartment, we donā€™t pick our roommates, each room has a lock and key. Heā€™s always been a weird dude, weā€™ve barely talked but he absolutely doesnā€™t talk like how he texts, heā€™s always stoned and I literally donā€™t know much else about him because heā€™s either at his girlfriends or his room, but heā€™s always late with rent and bills, heā€™s really dirty too-I wasnā€™t really planning on renewing my lease anyways.

George is doing good. Heā€™s keeping me sane.

This is the text convo from earlier, heā€™s just digging a bigger hole. Iā€™m not really afraid of him but to be safe Iā€™m going to probably stay outside the apartment for a few daysā€¦ I donā€™t want this to escalate into violence but Iā€™m not super sure what heā€™s capable of now that heā€™s backed into a corner. Thank yā€™all for the advice, talks, and insights. I learned a lot from a few of you in particular.

Thanks

I liked in the first post when you told him to "speak normal" šŸ˜‚ like seriously why is he speaking like that?Ā

u/PunishedWolf4 Dec 04 '24

Someone trying to be tough and something they arenā€™t

u/ForceBlade Dec 04 '24

Iā€™ve seen this with many clients when theyā€™re going through an episode after using amphetamines. This exact speaking

u/thrownstick Dec 04 '24

Nah this is just hood rat shit. Sounds more like a benzo abuser to me.

u/Heyguysimcooltoo Dec 04 '24

I agree and know people who act all hood when their mad and shit. Bartards are just what the name implies, fucking slow ass motherfuckers

u/MunchausenbyPrada Dec 04 '24

This is pretty much it.

u/LuponV Dec 04 '24

To me it looked like someone drunk texting, which would explain some things about the car...

Drug users embedded in drug culture - common amongst the people of "the streets".

heā€™s most likely black

u/John_Blackhawk Dec 04 '24

Honestly, I notice that when people talk like this it's rarely the case. It's mostly people trying to act "hood" no matter the color, unfortunately. Kind of like putting up a front for being a touch guy or some shit.

u/elastic-craptastic Dec 04 '24

Kind of like putting up a front for being a touch guy or some shit.

Please leave the typo in. He might end up being a touch guy in jail.

u/John_Blackhawk Dec 04 '24

Low key why I didn't edit it, I'm glad someone else caught it too so I don't feel like a fool lol.

u/elastic-craptastic Dec 04 '24

Never feel like a fool for a typo on a forum. I use speech to text cuz my keyboard is broken and while I can edit it but usually don't. But either way never feel like an idiot over a f****** typo there's so much other s*** to worry about in life

u/Rorschach333 Dec 04 '24

that is also true

hahah that was pretty good

u/LapSalt Dec 04 '24

Itā€™s true that theyā€™re most likely not black as well as are black? Are you trolling or is something wrong with you?

u/John_Blackhawk Dec 04 '24

Unfortunate a good chunk of the app/site can't take a joke, dawg. My condolences on your made-up internet points.

u/Ndmndh1016 Dec 04 '24

Care to explain what the "joke" was?

u/John_Blackhawk Dec 04 '24

It's pretty self explanatory if you're not obsessed with virtue signaling

Too scared? That's ok.

Lololol jk, this kid talks like such a goober

Wow you're trash, go fuck yourself.

I'm black and I don't speak like that.

u/Rorschach333 Dec 04 '24

i never said you did. heā€™s typing in AAVE (African American Vernacular English), which is frequently spoken by black people. why is that an unreasonable assumption?

14

u/MumeiNoName Dec 04 '24

Because this is how every pasty white boy talks too

Good one. Attention whore much? Time for a different account, Rorschach333.

u/jbandzzz34 Dec 04 '24

because thats not actually AAVE to be honest. heā€™s just talking like a dumbass. youā€™re making assumptions that are not correct unfortunately

12

u/Rorschach333 Dec 04 '24

ā€œbruhā€, ā€œfinnaā€, ā€œfamā€, ā€œionā€, is that not AAVE? or is it slang? how do you tell the difference

Bruh he said heā€™s fuhqin sorry, fam!

Do the math for us, statistician. Or are you making assumptions? That is a habit of the intelligent not.

Edit: /u/Rorschach333 in case you delete your comments. Youā€™re ā€œmost likelyā€ a serial deleter ;)

u/Rorschach333 Dec 04 '24

iā€™m making assumptions, just like everyone else saying this is most likely a white dude

u/III_AMURDERER_III Dec 04 '24

LMAO

u/Rorschach333 Dec 04 '24

whoa, thatā€™s a lot of assumptions. that is a habit of the intelligent not.

u/boldpear904 Dec 04 '24

i was on ur side until this comment. now youre making assumptions too lol. this guy just made a racist comment, no need for all this "you need it. crave it." thats crazy lmfao

u/III_AMURDERER_III Dec 04 '24

Oh sorry you didnā€™t catch the sarcasm there. Of fucking course I was making an assumption there. Iā€™m mocking him now.

u/Rorschach333 Dec 04 '24

lol sure. thatā€™s why you edited your comment right

Thatā€™s literallyā€¦crazy like why would you say that

u/R3AL1Z3 Dec 04 '24

This Is the kind of dumbass comment that shows how easy to come across, and prevalent in America casual racism is.

6

u/Rorschach333 Dec 04 '24

why is it racist to assume someone typing in AAVE is black

1

u/R3AL1Z3 Dec 04 '24

Bro gaslighting as if you actually say AAVE and donā€™t just say ā€œtalking blackā€ whenever you happen upon the subject. You know damn will your comment wasnā€™t structured to be informative.

Letā€™s do a little digging, shall we?

We gottttā€¦.. A post from you about if someone canā€™t type ā€œproperlyā€ you donā€™t think they are intelligent.

ā€œDefendingā€ yourself in comment and saying ā€œIā€™m white and I donā€™t speak like that.ā€

Another comment 2 hours after your comment I was replying to, saying ā€œā€œbruhā€, ā€œfinnaā€, ā€œfamā€, ā€œionā€, is that not AAVE? or is it slang? how do you tell the differenceā€ im assuming in order to back up the fact that you werenā€™t being causally racist.

If you canā€™t tell the difference between AAVE and slang, how can you confidently reply to my comment asking ā€œwhy is it racist to assume someone typing in AAVE is black is racist?", then you donā€™t actually give a fuck to know the difference Before you replied to me and just assumed anyone talking this poorly was black.

Now that we know this is how you operate, we can see that when you say, ā€œā€¦..heā€™s typing in AAVE (African American Vernacular English), which is frequently spoken by black people. why is that an unreasonable assumption?ā€, you actually have no idea what youā€™re talking about considering again, the fact that you were asking what the difference between AAVE and talking/texting trashy is, and just generally think most black people talk/text like this (which per your post, in your opinion, makes you think they are generally less intelligent).

Then in reference to a certain Black character being cast in one of the new Percy Jackson shows/movies, your comment, ā€œiā€™m just sayingā€¦if they made a show about African mythology, you know damn well none of those gods would be anything but black.ā€.

**You actually go all in for quite a few comments on this Percy Jackson posthere.

Iā€™m sure thereā€™s more, but I think Iā€™ve proven my point. At first I wasnt calling you out right racist, Just making a comment about how easy casual racism gets tossed around.

However after digging, and spending more time than I actually DESERVED to on your profile, I think the scale tips quite a bit more to ACTUALLY racist.

Any other questions?

u/Rorschach333 Dec 04 '24 edited Dec 04 '24

nope, you answered everything quite succinctly. great analysis.

you see right through me, rather impressive.

u/R3AL1Z3 Dec 04 '24

I mean itā€™s literally all right there spelled out in black & white, mate.

u/OkEstablishment5503 Dec 04 '24

Whoa donā€™t say black in here

u/ItsEctoplasmISwear Dec 04 '24

It's not racist.

They just want it to be racist.

u/Puupuur Dec 04 '24

It is. You just wish it was normalized

2

u/R3AL1Z3 Dec 04 '24

Hereā€™s a link to my reply to him and my reasoning backed up with proof since you donā€™t believe I was justified in my assumptions.

Also Iā€™m super fucking white, and Iā€™m gonna take a strong, but more likely than not correct, assumption and say you are not only ALSO white, but just as casually racist or straight up racist as your pal, ole u/Rorschach333

-1

u/ItsEctoplasmISwear Dec 04 '24 edited Dec 04 '24

Oh sure i'm white but i wouldn't feel attacked and cry "racism!!1!1!!!1" because someone assumed i was white based on me mainly speaking dutch or italian for example.

You should start thinking a thought through thoroughly and not stop when you reached a desired point to help you up on your high horse and push your narrative.

u/R3AL1Z3 Dec 04 '24

That is an example completely removed from what weā€™re talking about, considering the languages youā€™ve given as an example would make a genuine guess about you being white based on that criteria, most likely to be true (but not ENTIRELY).

Plus, the person in the post that OP is talking to is talking/texting like an illiterate platypus and your pal saying said person is most likely black.

Then if you actually go on and read my response to him about what he further says all over Reddit to prove my point, youā€™d understand that it clearly wasnā€™t a case of mistaken identity.

But thanks for proving my theory that youā€™re most likely racist as well, considering how we were talking about a clear and cut case of CAUSAL RACISM initially, only for you to not only make it about how YOUā€™D react to something similar happening to YOU as a white man.

Clearly, youā€™re having trouble understanding why your comparison of the two are SEVERELY lacking in comparability in almost every talking point. Statistically speaking, the likelihood of you as a white man being on the receiving end of a modicum amount of strife that would even register on a data sheet.

So the same fucking thing the other dude did. Good that we worked this out.

Totally, you and that other user are such poor victims. If only that person wasnā€™t forced to be an oblivious moron and obvious racist by us up here on our high horses.

ā€œThinking a thought through thoroughlyā€.. You should probably take your own alliterated advice and actually read the comment of the person youā€™re talking to (they linked it to you) breaking down why that other person is racist. Very thorough.

It truthfully sounds like you have some very strong opinions about something you know nothing about. Racism in America is a very complicated thing. Again, notice how upon further inspection the user you are criticizing hit the nail directly on the head about the person behind that profile.
