The woman was mentally ruminating. She in fact said that she didn't like the way she was feeling when she saw the White couple looking at the little library, but her feelings were at least based on the fact that many Black folks in the US, historically have been forced out of areas where they had lived for many decades, where they felt comfortable, as well as the fact that the primary reason the neighborhood had become Black was due to the White people who left out of fear and prejudice many decades ago. I can understand the resentment she was feeling. She was likely feeling fearful that once again, her Black neighbors would feel pressured to leave their neighborhood.And of course, you find it perfectly acceptable for a black woman to be upset that there are white people in her neighborhood.Yeah, what the hell. I just clicked on the link and she talks about a WHITE couple. The author is obviously black. It's about gentrifying a BLACK neighborhood.
Obviously Trausti wanted to illustrate the absurdity of the article and NY Times publishing it by changing the race she was upset about.How did that happen, Trausti?
Anti-white racism is considered a-ok by the woke NY Times editorial board. That's also why they hired anti-white racist Sarah Jeong a few years ago.
Since you are very familiar with the Atlanta area, I'm sure you know what the woman is talking about. Remember how poor Black families were pushed out to the suburbs back in the 90s when low cost housing was destroyed in order to make way for the olympics? That's one tiny example of the type of thing this woman was concerned about. Her thoughts have nothing to do with being woke. Her thoughts were more about her fear that once again, Black people would be pushed out of their space by the demands of White people. She never took any action towards anyone. She was simply ruminating about the situation at hand.
She was self examining her own thoughts. She didn't like the way she was feeling when she saw the White couple. She was fearful that her positive actions might be perpetuating gentrification. But, as I said earlier, it's often better to leave some of your thoughts in your head and not publish them in the news, as far too many people will misunderstand your thoughts and. the message that you had hoped to send ends up being misinterpreted as something else.
Some of the comments here are evidence of that.
