New York Times reporter Greg Howard wrote a piece titled “Power Play”, accusing white women of racial discrimination for how they fail to acknowledge him as they pass on the street.
Writer Greg Howard, of The New York Times, accused all white women of social rudeness towards him personally, as well as other black men, for not stepping aside as they cross each other on the street. Is it possible he’s over thinking it? Via the NY Times:
Sometimes they’re buried in their phones. Other times, they’re in pairs and groups, and in conversation. But often, they’re looking ahead, through me, if not quite at me. When white women are in my path, they almost always continue straight, forcing me to one side without changing their course. This happens several times a day; and a couple of times a week, white women force me off the sidewalk completely. In these instances, when I’m standing in the street or in the dirt as a white woman strides past, broad-shouldered and blissful, I turn furious.
Howard then goes on to dramatically explain how confused he is as to why white women do this horrible thing to him:
After these encounters, I’m always left with questions. Why only and specifically white women? Do they refuse to acknowledge me because they’ve been taught that they should fear black men, and that any acknowledgment of black men can invite danger? Do they refuse to acknowledge me because to alter their route would be to show their fear? Do they not see me? Can they not see me?
Tucker Carlson had FOX Sports One reporter Jason Whitlock on to discuss the piece.
Whitlock offered some sobering commentary on these racist accusations:
This absurd case of racial profiling reveals the prejudices of the writer as well as his personal insecurities.
As Jason Whitlock said in his discussion with Tucker Carlson, this is a race- baiting “dairy entry” that should have been scrapped in the editing process, that is now attached to the NY Times brand. How unfortunate the NY Times has devolved to this kind of empty whining, with an uncalled for racial component.
