Salon Writer Accuses "White Guy" of Racism after He Tried to Sit Next to her on Crowded Train

In an article published yesterday, Salon writer Brittney Cooper wrote about an encounter on a subway that she deemed extremely racist.

The article, called “Listen when I talk to you!”: How white entitlement marred my trip to a Ferguson teach-in, Cooper began the story by explaining that she was on a train bound for Ferguson for a "teach-in."

At the time of the encounter, Cooper writes, the train was "full." More than that, she couldn't hear anything going on and was ignoring people trying to sit down because she had her "beats headphones on." And though the train was full, she decided that she could go ahead and take an extra seat for her carry-on bag.

Then it happened, Cooper writes. "I suddenly saw a white hand shoving my work carry-on toward me," she explains. "Startled, I looked up to see the hand belonged to a white guy." Stunningly, the "white guy" wanted to take the seat next to Cooper and was handing her the bag so that he wouldn't sit on it.

Cooper took immediate exception to the gesture and said, “Never put your hands on my property.” To Cooper's amazement, the "white guy" had the gall to say that he asked her to move her bag so he could sit, and that she didn't hear him because of her headphones, saying, “Well, you should listen when I talk to you.”

Cooper explains then that she knew she was dealing with a racist.

It’s her attitude that is truly ugly.

[moovova]

Might not’ve even happened.

White women are almost never treated in such a manner, Cooper explains, writing, “black women are rarely entitled to the courtesies proffered to white women.”

So, black men don't hit on her ?

[Kackikat]

ROFLMTO! OH Hilarious. We white women would like to give that courtesy back to black women....seriously.

She didn’t buy a seat for her bag.

The racist is in the mirror when you look at it, b__ch!! Not the white guy...

[jocon307]

LOL, I love that!

There’s a saying: ‘Inside every fat lady there’s a thin lady waiting to come out.’ With her, there is another FAT person trying to get out.

[ExCTCitizen]

She so ugly that her shadow moved away...

>>“Well, you should listen when I talk to you.”<<

I seriously doubt those words were used by the Gentleman. It just doesn’t sound like a statement that someone would blurt out to a total stranger. Too personal of a response.

I would assume he would say something like, I guess you couldn’t hear me with those Headphones on.

Just strikes me as another made up Liberal lie, like Moochelle at Target or Obama and his Shovel Ready Jobs..

[Impy]

Hmm, “fat” is not a race. “Rude entitled bitch” is also not a race.

[Cronos]

well, while this was not racist, the guy should have tapped her on the shoulder before picking up her bag.

[GOPsterinMA]

For now, anyway.

What’s Burt Bacharach’s opinion on this?

[NFHale]

He was right.

And he’s nicer than I would have been when faced with an extremely rude oaf taking up two seats.
