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.

Thanks, man!
Barring a glandular problem, there’s no reason at all to be that H-U-G-E. It’s totally unhealthy and unsightly.
You could float a car from Cuba back here on her.

Also ironic, that “share the land” lefties suddenly find their inner Ayn Rand when it suits their purposes... “Never put your hands on my property”. LMAO!
To: GeronL
It’s racism when a member of a protected status minority says it is. It isn’t a ‘detector’, it is a sense of moral outrage.
Like seeing raw cotton == slavery, being forced to have to endure sitting next to a white person == racism.
I’d say that the “racism” is coming from the protected status minority though.
