Still sounds like you're justifying racist notions against black men but OK

Remember Emmett Till, the Scottboro Boys, Rosewood. That's all.
How am i justifying this against black men? I did say if a white or black mofo gets on depending on their appearance i may or may not be on guard , didnt i? So you mean to tell me i'm wrong if im in a dark alley and come across some women and have no concern whatsoever but if i come across some confederate hat wearing whiteboy i'm wrong because im jusdging him by his color and his confederate hat despite it saying "heritage no hate"?

If so then yeah if that's wrong of me then i dont wanna be right.

Edit: I brought up the confederate hat thing mainly as an example since i saw a dude in the parking deck's elevator where I work just yesterday. Dude had a construction hardhat on with a sticker that sayd "heritage. Not hate". THese days im on guard if i see a white boy with one of them huge american flags on his truck, for that matter.
And you should be too :ufdup:

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.
Man gtfoh with that bullshyt :mjlol:

At some point women will make it that they have separate elevators like washrooms.

You're right. They'll lobby Lyft/Uber and Taxis for an option to select female drivers. These so-called feminists really want Saudi-style segregation.

Taxis probably even scarier than the elevator, since they could drive you to the middle of nowhere and do what they wish.

I originally took this as Jemele and Mina talking as media personalities, their life is a little different and they do gotta be worried about some shyt like that to an extent

iirc Kristen Ledlow had someone legit stalking her ass and left social media for a few months

of course goofy everyday women gonna act like they can relate when in real life nobody worried about them
