Why does the color matter, why can't human beings be civil with one another? If this is the worst thing that happens to either person that day you can chalk it up as a good one. The only thing idiotic would have been if the woman had gone home and written a story about how she's not ready to renter post covid-19 society because of what she contrived to find offensive in some way.........oh wait!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?
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?
You never know when the simplest thing is going to offend someone. And people wonder why this nation is so divided? Society tends to forget that white people get judged by the color of their skin, too. It's not unique to minorities.I was looking at grapes in Sams one day - turning the container over to look for smashed bodies, etc. A black couple were doing the same; I made a comment about finding a good container; and the woman said remember "the darker the berry the sweeter the fruit." I decided to play that safe and said something about I'd have to remember that in the future. It really doesn't take much effort for us to all get along, but on the other hand it's a royal pain trying to figure out whether to even say anything. She obviously felt safer with an offhand comment than I did.
The author has to be in the same phylum as lutherone of the many crazy parts of the article is how the author says he advises black teens to ignore people asking them questions (if they are shouting) because that is rude behavior. a woman asks something from her car is shouting? - notice that she eventually shouts because the person she's trying to talk to is completely ignoring her.
Was that a woman?Why does the color matter, why can't human beings be civil with one another? If this is the worst thing that happens to either person that day you can chalk it up as a good one.

Also what had the kid been “taught”? Don’t talk to strangers or don’t talk to white strangers?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".
Ever make the mistake of wearing a red polo to Target?Sure, but they've never assumed I'm "the service" because I'm white.
Don't wear khakis to best buy.Ever make the mistake of wearing a red polo to Target?
The fact is people are asked random questions like this all the time yet forget about it at soon as they give an answer. Only a person searching to be offended would take it this way. Those people should be laughed at instead of giving them a bigger voice. We will all benefit
Anyone else see the irony in this?
NEW ORLEANS -- The Black College Football Hall of Fame has established the HBCU Legacy Bowl, a postseason all-star game that will showcase NFL draft-eligible players from historically Black colleges and universities.
The game will take place on the Saturday after the Super Bowl next February at Yulman Stadium at Tulane University.
NFL Network will broadcast the game. The league is a major partner in the game, as are Tulane and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
"The HBCU Legacy Bowl means opportunity and exposure for HBCU players and coaches," BCF Hall of Fame inductee Doug Williams said. "We're excited to have this in New Orleans, especially during Black History Month."
The game is part of a weeklong celebration of Black culture and history. About 100 of the top HBCU players will be invited.
"HBCUs are a bridge to equality," said James "Shack" Harris, a BCF Hall of Fame member. "We thank the NFL for their support and in sharing our commitment to lifting up others."
Williams and Harris are co-founders of the Black College Football Hall of Fame.

From the article, she is currently a strategist for Royals, and was a H Clinton aide back in the day.'It is hard work. It is embarrassing and shameful, and every time I post, I fear that this latest confession could be the one that will expose me as irredeemable — too privileged to be deserving of the man I love, too far gone to be a suitable mother to my black daughter,' Roth wrote.
The headline should have been, "Crazy white woman and fragile black man marry despite their self diagnosed racial incompatibility".
