  • You White Racist Women!

    NY Times reporter criticized for penning 'attack on white women' in essay about racism

    An African-American New York Times reporter is being criticized for his essay about the potentially racist challenges he faces from white women while navigating the city's sidewalks, notes The Hill.

    In the piece, Greg Howard, writes about his thoughtful approach as a pedestrian in New York then says, "In seven years of living and walking here, I've found that most people walk courteously — but that white women, at least when I'm in their path, do not."


    He adds that "sometimes they're buried in their phones. Other times, they're in pairs and groups, and in conversation. But often, they're looking ahead, through me, if not quite at me. When white women are in my path, they almost always continue straight, forcing me to one side without changing their course."

    I'm torn between wanting to defend the oppressed women and the oppressed person of color.

      let's see: group walking together, vs lone person coming the other way. Usually in that case the lone person moves around the group, not walk through the middle of them and split them up.

        It depends on the current hierarchy of oppressed groups. I've been a bit busy lately, so I'm not up on whether people of color are more oppressed than women; this merits some research.

          The question is, why would anyone even notice this? I wouldn't give a second thought about who moved out of my way or not, never mind keeping score.

            Because you're a privileged heteronormative cisgender white male, obviously. Your opinion is irrelevant.

              Black women, obviously. Unless you have white men who self-identify as transgender black women, then they win as the most oppressed and most racist. This stuff is easy.

                That part is, but if it's a black man vs. white women? Not quite so clear-cut.

                  Did you just assume his... everything?

                    are you assuming gender again?

                        Yeah, but everybody acts like that in New York City. The fact that this black man only notices when white women do it is interesting.

                          He also said: "In seven years of living and walking here, I've found that most people walk courteously — but that white women, at least when I'm in their path, do not." So it seems he does not agree with the "everybody acts like that" statement.
                          "Yes. President Trump is a huge embarrassment. And it’s an embarrassment to evangelical Christianity that there appear to be so many who will celebrate precisely the aspects that I see Biblically as most lamentable and embarrassing."

                            Have you ever been in New York City? They walk like bulldozers. I saw people just stepping over a homeless man laying on the sidewalk like he was not even there. They won't even make eye contact with you or say "good day" as they rush by. The only friendly people I saw in the city were other tourists, who slowly walk by gawking at everything. They will smile and say hi to you.

                            I think this guy is working under confirmation bias. He sees what he expects to see.

                              If you can give me some facts to make that seem likely I will look into it. So far it is your word against his.
