I guess she would be happy if they had a blacks only lunch counter and whites rode in the back of the bus? The new world of segregation is coming to American.
The most efficient solution would be to remove white people from all college campuses. I suspect that has been contemplated by both these aggrieved Negroes and by white liberals. Removing the crackers from campus would have the additional benefit of ending Affirmative Action in college so that Negro grads don’t have that weight hanging around their necks.
Yea well, the rest of the country is suffering race fatigue from one-note racist librarians, politicians and self-righteous celebutantes.
the soft bigotry of low expectations, thanks Libs.....
So now white folks are guilty of going to study in a School Library. These people are insane.
Its [sic] been 5 straight days of being tone-policed and condescended to and ‘splained to. Five days of listening to white men librarians complain about being a “minority” in this 88% white profession–where they consistently hold higher positions with higher pay–because they don’t understand the basics of systemic oppression. (They’re librarians. You’d think they’d know how to find and read a sociology reference, but whatever.) Five days of having “nice white ladies” tell you to be “civil” and “professional” when you talk about the importance of acknowledging oppression and our profession’s role in it.Hmmm. April is a librarian. You'd think she'd know how to find and read an American Library Association 2009-2010 demographiics report stating that 85% of credentialed librarians are White and 6% are Black. That might have clued her in on what to expect at a librarians conference.
April Hathcock: "Even with well-meaning white people, friends even, it’s been exhausting; the fatigue is still there."
Also contributing to April's exhaustion is her carrying around that heavy ABW chip on her shoulder.
The best course for her is suicide.
If she didn’t want to listen to anybody, she should have stayed home and finished that last gallon of Hagan-Das Chocolate.
“Don’t tone-police me while I’m tone-policing you, and don’t ‘splain things to me while I’m ‘splaining things to you.”
What a Twit
Well, Miss Hathcock, maybe if more of your racial brothers and sisters were literate and used libraries instead of engaging in vandalism and theft around the street corner, you wouldn't be suffering "racial fatigue."
She’s a racist. Saying that black people are too stupid to go to the library.
[ A New York University librarian recently felt compelled to pen a blog post bemoaning the “racial fatigue” she experiences “in the presence of white people” following an academic conference. April Hathcock said that she “hit her limit” after spending five days “being tone-policed and condescended to and ‘splained to” by “white men librarians” and “nice white ladies.” ]
Well Gee, maybe the problem is with Minority cultures???
If more minorities picked up more books... maybe they would be more representational at libraries....
Nah.... easier to blame whitey white people for being white...
I would be “fatigued” if I hung around with her for five days.
“Race Fatigue”, a new workplace disability coming to your area soon!
I’m sorry but WTF is “tone-policed?” Something new my white male children will have to apologize for?
I’m afraid to smile at or even acknowledge anyone who isn’t white anymore.
Fixed it.
This poor excuse of a person is a azz of many colors.
The reaction must have been fierce. She’s closed comments on her blog. I wonder how her co-workers reacted.
