I have good news for the author. They aren't hated, and believe me they are hated, because they're black. They're hated because they are an insufferable cönt.what a world
I Am Not Ready to Reenter White Society
I’ve said, here and elsewhere, that one of the principal benefits of the pandemic is how I’ve been able to exclude racism and whiteness generally from my day-to-day life. Over the past year, I have, of course, still had to interact with white people on Zoom or watch them on television or worry about whether they would succeed in reelecting a white-supremacist president. But white people aren’t in my face all of the time. I can, more or less, only deal with whiteness when I want to. Their cops aren’t hunting me when I drive through my neighborhood; their hang-ups aren’t bothering me (or threatening me) when I’m just trying to do some shopping.
here's the horribly racist incident that he witnessed
I was idling in the parking lot, near the door, when another car pulled up, stopped right in front of the store (blocking traffic behind the car) and rolled down the window. An older white woman shouted towards the door, “Is this where you get the vaccines?” There was only one person standing outside of the CVS, a young Black woman, who looked to me to be no older than 16.
The Black teenager ignored the woman (as I teach my kids to do when strangers are shouting at them), but the white lady insisted: “I said, is this where you get the vaccines?” At this point, the teenager did this elaborate pantomime of looking behind her, a very clear “she must not be talking to me, a person just standing outside and messing with my phone” move. This, apparently, really pissed off the white woman who then yelled at the top of her voice: “IS THIS WHERE YOU GET THE VACCINES?” By this point, a small traffic jam had piled up behind her, and the cars started honking. She yelped in disgust—“the service!”—and drove off.
Why is the white woman assuming a young black girl is existing to help her figure something out that she could've just looked up?what a world

Why is the white woman assuming a young black girl is existing to help her figure something out that she could've just looked up?
Sure, but they've never assumed I'm "the service" because I'm white.she saw a person and asked a question - the question was ignored. she wasn't assuming "a young black girl is existing to help her..."
race has nothing to do with it.
I've had black people ask me questions when I'm standing around --- haven't you?
That's the beauty of racism-tinted glasses, you see whatever you want to exhibit racism.Why is the white woman assuming a young black girl is existing to help her figure something out that she could've just looked up?
Sure, but they've never assumed I'm "the service" because I'm white.
you keep believing that racist crap of yoursNah, she's rarely right and she ain't this time. Even the FBI disagrees with her, they see the rise of white supremacist groups as a major problem, not a "clown show" or whatever silliness she was saying
Honestly I don't think she even believes the trash she tweets she just knows it will get a bunch of likes from the white "Karens" of the world. Lol. Shes an internet entertainer, thats her job
Can't tell you how many times I've been asked an innocent question like this. Of course, I'm not taught to ignore. If I don't know, I actually say, "I don't know".that assumption is wholly imagined on the part of the author (and now you) - he is assuming that of the woman. The woman is never quoted as saying that
I've been standing outside a place of business and had people ask me stuff like this.
