[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Book deal lady seems like a first class beeyatch but I see nothing wrong with this - a uniformed metro employee breaking the law (or what we all thought the law was until yesterday.) This deserves to get called out and I do t see why race matters to anyone except the wapo reporter and all the faux woke people here.

This isn't the metro worker being rude (if that were a crime ain't enough jails in the world). This was small but criminal behavior by someone who KNOWS better. [/quote]

Because book lady was seen as punching down. It's a bad look for someone who styles herself as an ally to the underrepresented.

I don't understand why it's so hard for people to understand this. [/quote]

Because I don’t think that being an ally to the underrepresented means you intentionally look the other way when they are doing something that you think is wrong. [/quote]

If you feel the need to call them on their behavior, you write to WMATA directly. You don't publicly shame them on Twitter, FFS. [/quote]

Yeah, because complaining to metro is going to accomplish anything. I guess I don't get this "being an ally" thing here... To me it isn't about race or gender. It's about someone doing something the know they shouldn't be doing, and people getting all huffy when it's called out. Book deal lady put her name out there so is going to get castigated by lots of different groups, but to me she did nothing wrong here. There was only one person breaking the law. [/quote]
