[quote=Anonymous]Yes, whites have been policing black bodies and actions forever, but the racism here goes both ways. I work somewhere where if a black person is incompetent, no action will be taken so no one accuses the manager of being racist, when i go to the store or coffee shop or anywhere with a service, plenty of times I get rude service from black women, I know if I complain i’ll be viewed as racist so I am more likely to complain about bad service by whites than not and rarely complain about rude and bad service at all. It is racist to allow black people a different standard because we are afraid of racism or as if we don’t expect they too can follow the laws we do. Just like when we assume men have urges women don’t hence cheat. The metro employee was in the wrong. Doesn’t matter her circumstances. I pull 9 hour days and cannot get in a bite sometimes. NT was wrong to tweet the picture. Maybe a tweet without the photo but this whole public shaming thing needs to stop. This outrage did nothing to advance dialogue or fix any issues but it sure as hell fired up the racists who already claim black people are q protected class and their actions are never held to the same standard as white actions.[/quote]
