Because she's listening to music she doesn't notice somebody asking her to move her poo poo off the seat. Cue a horrifying scene straight out of 12 Years a Slave..... quote:I suddenly saw a white hand shoving my work carry-on toward me. Startled, I looked up to see the hand belonged to a white guy Oh no, a white hand! A white hand attached to a white man touched her stuff! quote:His reply: “Well, you should listen when I talk to you.” That line there, the command that when he, whoever he was, spoke, I should automatically listen encapsulates the breadth of the battle against racism we have to fight in this country. Here we go.... quote:Buoyed by his own entitlement, his own sense of white male somebodiness, this passenger never even considered that he might simply try harder to get my attention before putting his hands on my stuff. His own need to control space, his own sense of entitlement to move anything in his way even if it held something of value to another person, his belief that he had the right to do whatever he needed to do to make the environment conform to his will are all hallmarks of white privilege. Just count those buzzwords! quote:To have a white man in 2014 demand that I listen when he speaks is the height of racial disrespect and indignity. To have a white person shove my belongings to the side rather than simply get my attention and ask my permission is an unnecessary level of disrespect, one that conveys yet again that their needs matter more than my own. Christ almighty, remind me again who's poo poo it was taking up the only seat on th..... quote:I do not exist to make white people comfortable. The fact that I know that and act like it makes white people even more uncomfortable. Look, if he had tapped you on the shoulder you would have screamed "White devil violated my personal space!!!". If he had waived his hand in front of your eyes it would have been "White man thinks I'm retarded or something, why couldn't he tap me on the shoulder, huh?!!". gently caress off Brittany Cooper you perpetual victim. Ahhhh.....that's better!

As an introvert I understand where this lady is coming from. Sometimes a normal person will step on my bubble and then they get really upset when I start to screech and flail.

I don't care if you're black, white or green - if you take up two seats on a crowded NYC subway train during rush hour with your stuff, then you deserve to get knocked the gently caress out never mind "spoken too rudely to". Ugh. People like that are scum.

I am a respected thinker in race relations. I have many degrees and a public platform on a popular website. What is the best use for this force for change that I hold? Winning fights against random strangers who can't respond or even know they're being targeted I guess

The writer sits her back in the empty seat next to her, puts her headphones in and turns on music, stares out the window, and doesn't look around her to see if anyone needs the empty seat when the train stops to let passengers on. Yep, classic passive aggressive public transportation behavior. The best way to deal with it, in my opinion, is to be assertive like this man was. Maybe he should have tapped her on the shoulder, but that would require him to touch her instead of touching her bag, which didn't belong in the empty seat anyway. It's also typical for the passive aggressive person to get all indignant over the fact that someone called their bluff and took the seat they wanted for their bag. But most people don't write asinine polemics about it.

So you were taking up two seats and had your headphones on such that someone's oral attempts to get your attention didn't work, and they had to resort to a second option? Oh gently caress, what a racist. You're like, the next Rosa Parks by taking up two seats. This isn't a racial thing, its an inconsiderate fuckwit who doesn't know public transit etiquette and is trying to make her wrongdoing into someone else's problem. What a jerkface.

it's pretty racist to imply that white people are impolite and inconsiderate of others. like we have no empathy and no soul and are only a bunch of psychopath to be locked away. i had zero poo poo to do with columbus and the trail of tears, and it's insulting to claim that it would be a better world without white people if you are interested, read more at my twitters at #NOTALLWHITEPEOPLE

quote:Some will argue that I cannot generalize ideas about white entitlement from the action of one jerk on the train. After all, people get into petty squabbles on the train all the time. Let us not forget, however, that the civil rights movement was catalyzed by a squabble over a seat on a bus.
