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

[Antwon Mitchell]

No, no and hell no it's starting to get a little too silly out here like what's a man supposed to do stay in the house?

 

[zerorequiem]

What made Jemele want to tweet that out of the blue like that?

 

[jackswstd]

That’s why I take the stairs,

Do you also empathize with whites who feel the same about you? When a white person sees you and clutches their purse or chirps their car alarm an extra time just to make sure, do you see why they're "uncomfortable"?

No, I don't see why white people are uncomfortable around blacks as they are the more violent race.

How is that similar at all?

 

[Mike Nasty]

What's crazy is what she actually said in the tweet is she doesn't want to get off an elevator first in front of a man on the same floor.

 

[Prynce]

Nah. Ima keep trying to be a better person and caring about the marginalized folks in society since Im one myself and examining whether their complaints are valid or not. You do you though

Women are raped and abused every single day in the majority of the world

If you want to be a better person help those women who had real shyt happen to them. They actually need it and you can actually do something meaningful in their life.

But acting as if some ditsy broad who complains that being in a elevator with a man is uncomfortable is brave or a victim aint it breh

You nikkas so fake with that shyt

 

[Gravity]

No, I don't see why white people are uncomfortable around blacks as they are the more violent race.

You didnt mention race tho, and neither did jemele. In fact, jemele spoke out to cosign a white/asian chic. Race didn't enter you or jemele's thought process here, and thats my point. Too many black women are women first and put more importance on gender politics than they do racism and racial solidarity with black men. You didnt look at this from a black perspective you looked at it from a woman's perspective. You didn't think for 1 second how this way of thinking indirectly reinforces negative stereorypes and beliefs about black men in particular and black people as a whole. These crackers are "uncomfortable" around you in case you didn't know.

She look like a Dyke.

Most men would think she's a Stud.

 

[El Bombi]

Why are the ugly Sistas leading the #metoo movement.

 

[philmonroe]

That’s me also


I don’t talk to anyone .... or just strike up convo


That’s an East Coast thing


Now the south they seem to do that a lot

I agree with all of it just had to switch your NY to east coast in general.

Guy: Asks what floor and presses the appropriate button, holds the door so she can get out first.

Women: 'What a creep, he might rape me'

Guy: let's her press the button and walks out the elevator before her

Women: 'where have all the real men gone'

Nah son that assault victim stuff don’t work here. She was assaulted by a family friend not a random in an elevator. Secondly what kinda spots she hanging in where she think a dude taking them chances? I’m not up on everything but how many dudes are sexually assaulting women on elevators for this to be a thing? Lastly you’d think unless you’re somewhere sketchy you wouldn’t think someone is likely to do that in the first place. When she was at espn she thought SAS or someone was about to harm her? That’s why stuff don’t really make sense to me.

Sounds to me like they're talking hotels especially since they both travel a lot. What they're saying makes sense, especially when you take the Erin Andrews shyt into account. Women think men may creep behind them to find out what hotel room they are in. It's easy to say they are crazy but these are women in an industry with a majority of male fans. It makes sense that they'd be extra careful about their surroundings.

I think it's times like these men should shut up and listen instead of being so quick to go into the mode of these bytches need to shut up. As a black man especially I relate. When you grow up in a bad neighborhood you go through all these mental checks to make sure you won't be caught slipping. I do this as a big dude that can hold my own. For a woman it's even more amplified.

Meanwhile in reality:

Can you press "5" for me?

Sure


and we go about our business.

Right.

Or, “hold the elevator for me, please”

Need to let that bytch close next time. Then when you see her, just tell her you let it close because you didn’t want to offend her

 

[Scottie Drippin]

Colincels are BIG MAD in my rep

 

[Grand Eeezus Maxwell]

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?

White bytch talkin bout “deadly spiders” wtf? Feminut analogies NEVER make sense

EDIT: she deleted it after I laughed at her
