Gregory's Server@mekkaokereke For cryin' out loud, what does being big (or black or male/female or anything else) have to do with it? You were politely standing in line, doing your best to mind your own business, and that entitled white creep blithely assumed that everyone else would cheer her on. I'm very pleased to hear that she was dead wrong and the hotel staff and security stepped up to the plate!

@shawrd773 @mekkaokereke As a smallish female, I definitely understand that but how genuinely threatened are you going to be standing in line at a hotel with plenty of witnesses? IMHO, she just didn't want him staying at the same hotel as she was staying in and figured she'd create a false narrative that would get him kicked out. Heaven forbid she might have to <gasp> share an elevator with a black guy! I say firetruck her and the horse she rode in on. @isotope239 @mekkaokereke I donβt think *she* was threatened. I think she was hoping to leverage that threat narrative. So his appearance absolutely matters; if heβd been a small white woman *doing the exact same thing*, none of this would have happened. @shawrd773 @mekkaokereke Exactly! All I'm saying is that it burns my wick when someone instantly judges based on appearance. |
@isotope239 @mekkaokereke Far too many people see Blackness as inherently threatening, and when it comes in the form of a large male body, that feeling of being threatened compounds. It has absolutely nothing to do with what the person in that body has done.
