I Feel Attacked

What is with white people (of any nationality) always feeling attacked about something? That's their favorite line to use, "Why are you attacking me?", "I feel attacked."

That's the universal white woman's bat signal to garner sympathy and have their white men come to their aid. The shit is old and played out.

I had a situation take place a few years ago in the security line at the airport. This girl got mad at me because she was taking forever to unpack her shit and was holding up the rest of the us (like 5 people) so I went around her. No attitude or passive aggressivity.

I start loading my shit into the bins to try and move the line along. I'm assuming she'll just take her bins around me and place them on the conveyor belt. Instead, she begins to press me out, "What do you think you're doing? You're not getting in front of me." I tried to explain to her what I was doing, assured her that it wasn't an aggressive gesture, and that I assumed she would just go around. She had already tuned me out and continued to illogically berate me and give me all the attitude she could muster, feigned ebonic twang and all.

I kept a level voice the whole time although my speech was a bit pressured since we were in an argument. She raises her voice over mine and says three words, "I feel uncomfortable." I look up and now everybody is looking at me and TSA is approaching me trying to figure out what EYE did wrong. I explained the situation and the white TSA security guard wrote me off as, "you're just causing trouble, you need to learn to follow rules."

It was right then and there that I realized the power that white women wield. I don't sympathize with white women at all. They walk through life completely aware and unaware at the same time. I was an annoyance to her and she knew what words to use but what she didn't know was the trouble it truly could've caused me disproportionate to the situation.

 

I had never heard of her before this, I don't think.
