Director of catcalling video responds to race debate [apologizes for "racial bias"]
CNN ^ | October 30, 2014

Posted on 10/31/2014 6:04:15 PM PDT by grundle

The director of a video showing a woman being catcalled on the streets of New York has weighed in on the seeming racial disparity of the men featured.

Rob Bliss, who posted the video on behalf of the anti-street-harassment group Hollaback!, told CNN that those shown were just a small sample.

"First, we regret the unintended racial bias in the editing of the video that over represents men of color," Hollaback! said in a statement released Tuesday. "Although we appreciate Rob's support, we are committed to showing the complete picture. It is our hope and intention that this video will be the start of a series to demonstrate that the type of harassment we're concerned about is directed toward women of all races and ethnicities and conducted by an equally diverse population of men."

Rode BART to work in the Bay Area for a period of time.

The sour looks some of those “ladies” would give me when I got up to relinquish my seat to them — were almost comical in their hostility.

She is a actress and has a website showing off her goodies frickin bish

And this video is the biggest thing she has ever done. At 25 million views and getting everyone talking about her, way to get her foot in the door.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Vivid Entertainment has contacted her about doing a shoot.

I love when one victim group with a chip on their shoulder is insensitive to all the other chips on all the other victim groups shoulders.

There weren’t many white men in the video because most of the white men in NYC were at work rather than hanging out on the streets.

It WAS men ‘of color’ being jerks to a white woman... that’s the reality.

Make it stop!

So a liberal wants to point out the bad behavior of men and is now being called racist. How classic?
