Remember the 'racist' lady that grabbed everyone's attention in Oakland, California over a police call? The internet nicknamed her "BBQ Becky" and photoshopped her into black history moments, even Saturday Night Live did a skit about her. This time, comedian Tim Northern from Louisville, Kentucky took her meme to new heights by making a few calls himself.

When Northern first saw the video, his initial reaction was a tinge of anger. "But this goes on all time," he told Bored Panda. "So I'm almost inured to it." The man claimed he had similar experiences many times, too.

"'Casual racism' is a bigger problem than overt racism," Tim continued. "It's not as in your face, [so] it keeps people in their little bubble of denial."

He was casually sitting in Starbucks when he decided to bring the most popular "BBQ Becky" memes to life. "I just decided to do mundane things to parody the memes that were already out there." Spending a couple of hours going around Louisville, Tim got pictures taken of him calling the cops over some horrible, horrible things the white folks were up to!

It was because of this incident in a Starbucks Philadelphia one month ago, here the new: Starbucks has apologised after staff in Philadelphia called police to arrest two black men who refused to leave a store. The coffee chain has been accused of racism over the incident in Philadelphia and the hashtag #BoycottStarbucks became the top trending term in the US. The saga began when the two men, who have not been named, sat down in a branch of Starbucks but did not order anything. They said they were waiting for a friend. When one of them asked to use the bathroom, staff refused saying they were only for the use of paying customers. The men were then asked to leave.

I have watched most the original video and I still don't understand why everyone thinks that the woman was racist. She was just angry because people used a charcoal grill in the area where those were not allowed. If someone could post exact time stamps of the video where she says something racist then I would appreaciate that.

I'm white as the driven snow. And I think that it's way past time that white arseholes like the barbecue woman were themselves barbecued to a crisp by the anger of the rest of society, at their cavalier racism and privileged racial profiling.
