I definitely enjoy seeing new people around here.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, I assumed very litle in writing this post (as you suggested in your above comments)--you were the one assuming. This man mentioned in the story was a black man, in fact. His race just seemed completely irrelevant to the story at hand, whereas with the story about my neighborhood, race was pertinent to the story. He wasn't taking up more than one seat on the subway because he was black; he was taking up two seats because he was fat and lazy and refused to move over. The point of the post wasn't to chastise him for his decision to "forego chivalry." I didn't expect him to give up his seat...I did however expect him to display the common courtesy on a very crowded, busy train. All he needed to do was adjust his body slightly and more people could have sat down. And I believe that is just extremely inconsiderate. <BR/><BR/>Also, he was wearing a KMart vest and a "Hello My Name Is" nametag, so that as well was not an assumption. What I did assume was that he worked security and had McDonald's for lunch. But, like most writers, I tend to take creative liberties to make my stories more entertaining. Which, since this is my blog, I have every right to do--just as you have every right not to read it if you are offended.Colleen_Katanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271763686015332956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5327731705935401406.post-72592522395793299662008-09-03T13:30:00.000-07:002008-09-03T13:30:00.000-07:00Hey anonymous,So you're telling me that if that fa...Hey anonymous,<BR/><BR/>So you're telling me that if that fat guy was black, we would have gotten the same post? I doubt it. We would have been subjected to a four page dissertation on how maybe the fat black guy had heard the n-word uttered once 15 years ago and it had scarred him, causing him to be rude (through omission, not comission). In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the tone of the post went from one of disdain for the fat guy to one of sympathy, and maybe would have gone so far as to blame the elderly and the pregnant women on the train (assuming they were white) for being insensitive to his roots by standing over him, asserting a sort of "implied" white authority over him. Then, his decision to forego chivalry in that case would have been applauded as "standing up to the man" rather than lambasted with the condescending view of his assumed blue collar vocation. <BR/><BR/>- da manAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5327731705935401406.post-22591904659587956782008-09-03T12:16:00.000-07:002008-09-03T12:16:00.000-07:00Ummm.

Another typical, elitist liberal who has no problem running down white men, but who really has to have an epic struggle to run down black people who are openly hostile to her. Guy doesn't move a little on the subway and because he's fat, he gets run down, but black people are openly hostile, even physically abusive to you, and it takes a whole disclaimer paragraph about how socially fair you are to run THEM down.
