Men telling a stranger to wash herself: Questinable behavior.
Maybe it's because I see and hear racist shit all the time from family mostly, I know better. Not to mention I pay attention to stories like this that happen every day and I look at the current state of our country with President Trump, the dog whistling, the police, and really our entire history in regards to race, so yeah, I just know better. Not getting the benefit of the doubt from me anymore. Hell I used to kind of be like this. I didn't hate Black people because I'm not a hateful person never have been, but I totally was race ignorant. I'd rather just assume they bring it on themselves than acknowledge an actual problem. I know now the way I used to see things really was no better.
don't mind him. He gets upset whenever he sees someone unfairly playing the race or the sex card.
Really? Did they call the government from every single country and make sure? I mean he could have been an inspector from Never Never Land, we don't know, do we?
So do you have the right to question other patrons about it at a public pool?
Lol I love how calm prejudice is such a common defense. " I mean I just followed them around the entire store and asked if they needed anything officer!"
It's amazing isn't it? Honestly it seems like in some people's mind no matter the situation the person that gets emotional is always in the wrong while the person being calm is always in the right. I guess that's what being one of those "cool headed politics don't bother me none" moderates will do to your perspective.
Are you kidding?
Yeah, the likelihood is that most people DON'T shower beforehand, and we haven't seen a flurry of closed pools or people dogmatically watching and being sure you showered first other than this asshole. Even at the most naively generous he's an asshole, and I'm sure race was the biggest factor in his antics.
To be Black in America must be depressing. While White, I can go to a pool without having to worry about some random dude coming up to me and asking me about my bathing habits. People leave me the fuck alone because they don't bother to make poor assumptions about me.
Stop. Not what she did in what I quoted. If you have a problem, defend the very statement I criticised. I voiced a problem with her generalizing in one single quote.
You really don't see how a strange man asking a woman and a child if they showered might make them feel uncomfortable, sexually?
I do. Why is it so hard to understand that i have issue with a generalization that affects me personally, in the past at least
Ok, but I think it's a little different if that's part of the rules, something people are going to expect, an actual job, and something that applies to everybody.
I think it's fair to have that feeling in many cases, but I feel a lot of us in this thread just don't feel it applies to this story in particular.
You should read your post again, if a stranger walked up to your daughter, gf etc and ask if she bathe would be okay with that? Or more likely this person is a perv etc asking her if she bathe he didn't work for the hotel yes She has every right to think this guy is some sicko based on the fact he lied about his job and left immediately after tells me he was some sicko if it's racism, pedo or a combination of both idk but it isn't hard to see why one would think it.
Her feelings in this case are not what I criticised. It was her generalization. Sorry.
