There was a white-presenting person on the same train car with his Starbucks - breaking the same rules you’re so up in arms about - and he himself pointed out that he somehow escaped Natasha’s notice. She DIDN’T report him, even though he was breaking the same rule you’re so upset about. Somehow.

Oh, no, she’s truly sorry. She’s sorry because it does affect her.

It’s so crazy how people look the other way when people break rules fifty eleven times a day, but when a person of color does it, suddenly IT’S ALL ABOUT MAKING AN EXAMPLE.

She wouldnt have done it if the driver was a white woman. Period. She violated that womans privacy to humiliate over something so trivial.

Sadly the only way people like this learn is by taking their money. Yeah she’ sorry, like Trump was. Fuck her and her shitty book. May she never know any success at all.

Her novel, “They Called Me Wyatt,” is about a young, Jordanian woman who is murdered and then her consciousness is transferred to the body of a white, male child named “Wyatt.” This plot is suggestive of some issues the author may  have...

I guess her decision to make it public, like she was some sort of crime fighting hero, bugs me the most. Fine, there’s a stupid rule about not eating on the train, a rule that I bet is broken 590 time a day. Send the agency an email, but trying to put her in blast with a photo like you’ve busted a narcotics ring? Beat…

Oh, that’s not all! From her imprint:

I just reverted to 7 years old, gleefully dancing around because “Ooooooooooh! Some-one’s in tru-uh-ble!!”

Uh-oh.

Maybe she sees herself as a person of color, but only if it’s to advance her... whatever.

Additionally, like, look... This metro worker works on the train, and presumably if she drops a tomato she’ll pick it up herself so some 90-year-old doesn’t slip on the tomato and break their collar bone.

You think the average rider is gonna clean it up if they make a mess?

4 million subway riders all eating sandwiches…

This goes without saying...but who is most likely to be disrespected and interfered with makes it important to say as often as possible “ leave black women be!”

But also maybe this was the ONLY time this woman would have to eat. b/c 30 min is not a lunch break y’all. There is no part of me that could fathom all that energy just to tattle on someone eating. Like chill. 

Sigh... see, that’s why some times i’m suspicious of the term “people of color” or a “person of color”. I don’t get a true sense of solidarity in it - it’s too situational. Maybe she sees herself as a person of color, but only if it’s to advance her... whatever.

If, by chance, you are ever tempted to call the authorities on a black any person for doing something that absolutely affects no one, such as eating or inhaling oxygen, ask yourself these three questions:

The complete and utter inability to ABIDE the fact that a Black person is doing something you can’t. The sheer outrage one feels when said Black person doesn’t immediately accede to your obvious authority to enforce any and all interpretations of rules as you see fit. The cowardly but competitive instinct that is…

Guys, she’s so sorry, ok? It’s good now. She fixed it!

We gonna do the Not Black Enough thing on a baby less than a week old? Really?

screaming (not without merit) that because they pay the taxes that fund her family, they are owed photos on the same day that she pushed the kids out.
