[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Non-paywall version of the story - https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/eating-while-black-and-employed-by-metro-woman-sparks-outrage-after-tweeting-photo-of-wmata-employee-eating-on-train/65-78a8ae83-5d49-4806-9f6f-8befa30e92f4[/quote] There’s got to be more background as to why they came out so strong: A statement from book industry firm Rare Bird elicited no kindness for Ms. Tynes, calling the episode, "truly horrible." “Black women face a constant barrage of this kind of inappropriate behavior directed toward them and a constant policing of their bodies," the statement read. Huh???? The writer’s post was about the hypocrisy of a metro worker not obeying the rules. It read like a neutral statement. Why the backlash at the writer, to the point the book is canceled? That’s a disproportionate punishment that just feels off. Maybe the publisher is using this incident as an excuse? [/quote]
