I know it’s not exactly the same, but as a fat white woman it feels really familiar to me too.

I’m white and white men scare me the most too. They are so entitled with their presence and if you anger or upset them in any way, they feel like it is their right to make you regret it. I imagine that it must be twenty times scarier as a POC, and I am sorry you have to deal with such frightening assholes.

“Black woman is least respected and protected.”

No its the hypocrisy and double standard

oh my god one white guy did that so now you cross the street. poor you!

do blacks ever stop whining about everything. guess what, its life it happens to everyone! why dont you report on the fake cry wolf videos mark dice has put out, or that blacks attack whites 61% more. you people on here dont do news very well its all virtue signaling. terrible. take a page from candice owens and grow…

That was my take away too. It’s an asshole problem.

“This would not have happened to a white woman or woman of another race.”

“I deserve the protections that are given to my white counterparts and my male counterparts.”

I, for one, will tell you to buck up and stop feeling sorry for yourself. I will do nothing but tell you that we all suffer in our own ways and if you let the suffering define you then you might as well mail it in. Also if you continue to think that your “racial identity” is holding your back somehow then you are just…

Asking in all seriousness ... how much of this is a racial problem, and how much is just an asshole problem?
The van driver was obviously the latter, and good on you for reporting him. Maybe there were racial overtones to his resistance, but it sounds more like a high-strung asshole snapping over God only knows what.…

A black man once held a gun to my head and stole my bag. You know what I don’t do? Walk on the other side of the street when I see a black man. Why? Because I know profiling people based on the color of their skin is wrong.

I 100% understand. As a white woman, I do the same whenever I see a Latino or Black man. I’ve had to many bad experiences to risk it. Black men scare me.

There is some effect where people pretending to have allergies or intolerances tend to have a “boy who cried wolf” effect, leading to food providers being less careful and eventually causing increased danger for those who really do have allergies or intolerances. The trend of people “faking” allergies also doesn’t…

Not limited to Ohio.

YES. This is my family. They say I’m a liberal elite because I worked two full-time jobs while going to school full-time and then took any job that showed me a part of the world or society I wasn’t familiar with (I worked on film sets). They’ve done nothing to improve/educate themselves or even see anyplace beyond…

I worked in fast food for years and I had a shift manager whose motto was “If you have time to lean, you have time to clean”. Problem is, she would often hassle employees who were legitimately doing things related to their job in the restaurant (serving customers, cooking food, etc.) to go clean stuff, when cleaning…

Devastating news for the ONE PERCENT of the population that actually suffers from Celiac disease.

Just a friendly reminder:

If you want children to be the best, then you’ll have to fire Betsy DeVos.
