I guess if it had been a black woman treating her that way there would have been no story...?
She states in the article “Beats headphones on, lost in thought” and then has the nerve to get all bent that he suggested that she listen. Does anyone believe that he “commanded” her when he spoke? He probably politely asked a few times if she’d move her stuff so he could sit and she either didn’t hear because the music was too loud (her fault) or intentionally ignored him (to be a bitch and provoke a confrontation). A person can only be polite so long before they decide to either walk away or escalate things. Since the train was full he decided to escalate by creating a space to sit. Chubster freaked out because he’s the antithesis of what she teaches. He’s neither female nor “African”.
But how dare he choose to be a white guy. And how dare he choose to want to sit down while riding the train. The nerve!
