ESPN writer Jemele Hill says she's afraid of being in an elevator alone with a man

[intruder]

She’s only talking about black men in this situation, which falls in line with her job description at The Atlantic to criminalize and dehumanize black men

And how did you come up with this, again?

Because i dont believe threat has a color. It depends on you and your history (or lackthere of) with the perceived threatning person/group. Like, some people may seem shady to me as a man and I tense up a bit and mentally prepare to defend myself if needed. Said person could be white, black, latino or whatever. I say history because history with a person or group may change how threatening they are perceived from your point f view. I've personally been assaulted by black people but it's not evey black man that walks in an elevator that i even pay attention to. Never been physically assaulted by a white person but if some biker or redneck looking mofo gets on while i'm there you bet your ass i'm watching them closely.

If we bein 100% honest, most people not even gonna notice or pay attention to an ugly older woman

A popped older broad might as well be made of fresh cleaned windshield.

Maybe something here for pretty broads, if you reach because of the thirsty ass nikkas they deal with but Jamele

Bruh if she halfway decent some nikka will creep on her

I’m of both ways...bytches on twitter be overdoing it but some nikkas are creeps

These people really are using the exact same logic racists use

They're probably 'liberals' too, yet if someone used this same logic to say we should ban all immigration because some immigrants do crime, they'd lose their shyt

Literally using far-right fear mongering and demonization tactics. What's the difference here?
EDIT: tweet was deleted. Yt bytch compared getting in an elevator with a man to a 7% chance a spider was poisonous so don't touch spiders

 

[Sad Bunny]

They're going too far now.

Straight men can't use an elevator without thinking a bytch thinking we're gonna rape them

DO you believe white females believe that threat has no colour in America?

My first reaction was annoyance. But I had to think about it and realized that it ain't about me. Women are victims. Not all the time, but they have to protect themselves. I can understand why it could make a woman uncomfortable to have a stranger follow them off an elevator. Shoot I've been in situations where I'm walking down a hallway in a hotel or somewhere else behind a woman and literally thought 'I hope she doesn't think I'm following her'. It's annoying as a man to HAVE to think about these things but I can't claim I care about women and then get mad when they tell us about real fears that they have. I'm nowhere near a feminist or one of those The Root lames but this is a 'we gotta do better' moment (talking about the response, not that we've been 'wrong' in elevator etiquette') where we should hear ladies out and adjust accordingly when we can.
