If you ever been micro aggressed before?

Posted on 04/16/2015 3:31:51 PM PDT by MNDude

It's reported that Micro aggression is the new face of racism. It is unintentional yet powerful form of racism\sexism.

Racial experts have used examples such as a white guy asking an Asian person for help on homework or picking a black guy first to be on his basketball team.

As I thought about it, I fear i have been the victim of micro aggression several times in my life as well, and I have been feeling very troubled. I'm m sure I'm not alone here.

In what ways have people committed micro aggression towards you in the past?

I feel microagressed when I'm asked to pay for the subsistence of others. It's almost like I'm expected to go out and actually EARN my living, while deadbeats from certain chosen races can lay around all day smoking crack and spending my money, then whine when they can't get more.

I also feel offended when I'm told that I'm a racist just because ... well ... just because.

The other day I blurted out to a liberal whiner “oh yeah? Well I’ve got your micro aggression hanging right here buddy”, after thinking about it for a few minutes, I think that I won’t use that come back anymore.

YES! I’ve been micro-aggressed! I have a kind face, I suppose, and a non-threatening white lady demeanor! An old couple in the parking lot asked for help getting to their car! Two little lost girls at a festival asked me to find their mother! The presumption!

Yes! I’ve been micro-aggressed! Although I have a kind face, I am the most gentile-looking nice white lady imaginable! In Lakewood, the little Jewish children won’t even look at me, and an elderly Jewish man staggering and falling on parked cars in a heatwave nearly had a stroke when I asked him if he needed help! The rejection!

I am really sick of hearing “guy” in the place of man, or male, and it is often preceded by the annoying, “just happen to be a” or “a typical”.

Being micro aggressed is a whole lot more comfortable than being macro aggressed.

I have little old ladies giving me dirty looks when I'm with my daughter grabbing a cup of coffee. They assume I'm a dirty old man with a younger woman.

Frankly, that p*sses me off.

I’m not a micro-agressor but I have been mico-agrieved.

Here’s a good one. I read an article by a black woman the other day saying that white people asking if they could “touch her hair” was a microaggression.

Well, I used to go to a majority black high school, and I had long hair at the time. A lot of the black girls seemed fascinated by it, and would often ask me if they could “touch my hair”, and sometimes they would touch it without even asking me. Obviously, I have been the victim of racial microaggressions.

Why yes! I am glad that you created this thread! I often feel that micro- or nano-aggression when I am out and about... as I try to be a gentleman whenever possible, I will open and/or hold an entry/exit door for any female nearby, regardless of their age. I have noticed over the years that sometimes these females will smile at me when they say thank you or nod their appreciation.

Lately it seems to me that these smiles are actually micro- or nano-aggressive sexual harassments!! LOL

(Where can I file a complaint, what gubmint agency can help me??)

I went to dinner a few months back at a new local eatery with my daughter. The waitress was bragging about the “sustainability” of all their food. I politely asked her how the human race was able to sustain itself for tens of thoudpsands of years before we invented “sustainability.” The waitress got really angry with me and lectured me about how serious this was, I shouldn’t make fun of it, and, besides, she had a DEGREE in SUSTAINABILITY STUDIES or some-such. She sure put me in my place with all of her holier-than-thou sputtering.! My 23 year old daughter was rolling her eyes at Dad, of course.

It is indeed great fun tossing their bunkum back at them. They honestly don’t know how to deal with it because nobody has ever challenged their silly belief system.
