Black NYU librarian complains of “race fatigue” dealing with whites
Bogus Times ^ | 7/18/17 | Kim Parkhurst

A librarian at New York University suffered “serious race fatigue” at Chicago’s American Library Association (ALA) last month, experiencing “mounting anger and frustration” after having hit her limit of dealing with white people.

April Hathcock, scholarly communication librarian at NYU, summed up her experience at the ALA in her blog as nothing short of a sea of excruciating whiteness.

“Five straight days of being tone-policed and condescended to and ‘splained to” by an “88 percent white” profession, she wrote. “Five days of mounting anger and frustration that you struggle to keep below the surface because you can’t be the ‘angry and emotional person of color’ yet again.”

scholarly communication librarian


I bet on the vast majority of “scholarly communication librarians” (whatever that is) are leftist idiots. Regardless of what their race happens to be.

April is a “scholarly communications librarian”.
I think there’s a term for jobs like that in govt such as the DMV, VA, etc. And in academia, another long list.
Make-work jobs. Yes, for special people like you, April.
Don’t attend national library conferences for free then, if you can’t stand being around honkies.

So color me shocked (was that racist?) - from the content of the article, it looks like April gathered a posse to give a SJW presentation to the almost 90% white crowd.
So she went there with a BLM agenda and got race fatigue once she was really “in the fray” with Whitey. Hilarious.

The “nice white ladies” also gave her race fatigue, reminding her to be “civil and professional” when speaking about “the importance of acknowledging oppression and our profession’s roll in it.”

Wow, who knew librarians were leading the way in oppression.

It has been a while since I have been in a library. I didn’t know that they had gone all jack boot thug.

Obviously there’s only one thing for her to do then. Leave America and go to Somalia or some other chit hole in Africa. She’s far to good and highborn to live among us mere American’s.

My, and to think one of my earlier TV crushes (when I was about 12 years old) was Marilyn McCoo back when she hosted “Solid Gold”. I wonder if I was being an oppressive racist back then?

I can guarantee that the vast, vast majority of the people who attended this conference with her were died in the wool hardcore leftists. Now we all know that hard core leftists are the most racist people in the world, but that is her problem not mine.

“splain shaming” is an attempt by bigots/sexists to tell white men that they have no right to speak.

Here's an idea that might work...

They should make all the white customers line up, and then the black librarians can inspect the line to find the white customers they would like to have. They might bid break time or lunch time with the other black librarians if more than one wants the same white customer.

It shouldn't take long to assign the white customers to their designated black librarians.

Problem solved!

She sounds stupid and probably doesn’t have an IQ much above 50.

I don’t know this woman, but I have seen more than one black person talked down to by a white person who assumed they needed to have things explained to them like they were ignorant.

That's how every Democrat speaks to voters, black or white.

The liberals also believe that tests need to be adjusted to lower standards or give a race credit to make black applicants for schools and civil service jobs "competitive". That seems like a bigoted notion that they cannot achieve otherwise.

Oh the poor, poor thing; perhaps she should move to a majority black nation in Africa, so that she could feel superior to the few whites ( if any ) who are there.

And frankly, she needs to just grow up and act like a HUMAN BEING, instead of being a damned RACIST!

Everything is about race.

It's their excuse for everything. That way they don't have to look at themselves and see the real source of the problem. Doing something to improve themselves would take some work, but it's easier to blame Whitey.

I am a portrait artist. I **KNOW** that **all** people are brown. Some are darker brown and some are lighter brown but **ALL** people are brown.

Yes, I am shouting. I've got race fatigue, too.
