Writer Stretches “R****m” to Its Breaking Point

Only a couple of days after Michelle Obama told People magazine that she had encountered “r****m” at Target when asked by an innocent bystander to take something off the shelves, Salon’s Brittney Cooper has stretched the definition of r****m to its absolute breaking point.

Recounting her “nightmarish” journey into New York on public t***sit, Cooper relays the harrowing story of how she became the victim of white entitlement. Sitting on the train, ears plugged with headphones, with her carry-on bag taking up the seat next to her, Cooper was astonished when she “suddenly saw a white hand shoving my work carry-on toward me.” Instantly enraged when she saw that the white hand belonged to a white man, Cooper directed him: “Never put your hands on my property.”

With a response that I can only describe as greatly restrained, the white man in question told her, “Well, you should listen when I talk to you.” That wasn’t acceptably contrite for Cooper, of course, and she chalks up the man’s actions as those of a r****t. More than that, she determined that it “encapsulates the breadth of the battle against r****m we have to fight in this country.”

Indeed.

Cooper anticipates the argument that she is overreacting to “one jerk on the train,” though she doesn’t seem to make room for the possibility that she is that jerk. In defending her position, she reminds us that “the civil rights movement was catalyzed by a squabble over a seat on a bus.” Yeah…she went there. And though she quickly dispels the notion that she’s a modern-day Rosa Parks, that’s not the kind of comparison you can make and then backtrack from. I’ve no doubt in my mind that she sees her 2014 Train Incident as part of the same struggle.

In closing up her rambling discourse, Cooper says that she kinda/sorta misses the old days when white people were more forthcoming in their r****m. Today, she thinks, she has to spend most of her time convincing white people “that things are r****t to begin with.”

I’ll bet she does. In that struggle, she joins the far-left feminists (a club to which she likely already claims membership) in redefining the world’s words and actions so that every minority is in a state of constant oppression. No one is lynching black people in 2014, there are no segregated water fountains, and a black man is in the White House. Therefore, this social justice movement that has gained so much traction on websites like Salon has to find new kinds of r****m to decry.

Don’t like Obama? R****t.

Painted your face black for a “blackout” football game? R****t.

Used the word “thug?” R****t.

Didn’t feel like being polite about it when a self-obsessed, arrogant woman with Beats headphones wrapped around her head took up two seats on a packed train? Why, of course that’s r****t!

Whenever one of these social justice warriors is confronted with how much better America is for minorities today, they always have the same response: we’ve still got a long way to go. But, maybe we don’t. Maybe things are about as good as they’re going to get. Maybe once we’re down to incidents like the one Cooper got so worked up about, the movement has run out of gas. Because no matter how many articles you write or how many words you make off-limits, you can’t magically make r****m disappear. The country – nay, the world – will never be perfect. And judging by the kinds of things these SJWs say, their idea of a perfect world would probably be a real d**g.



Obamas Highlight America’s R****m Once Again


In the midst of some of the worst racial divisions the country has seen in years, the president and first lady decided it was a good time to tell People Magazine (America’s leading source for investigative journalism) about their own experiences with racial injustice. While observers might be justified in wondering how authentic these experiences are, coming as they do from one of the most powerful men on the planet, those concerns are surely put to rest by the depth and seriousness of the incidents.

Or not. Michelle insists that the protection they’ve experienced while in the White House was preceded by a period where “Barack Obama was a black man who had his share of troubles catching cabs.” She then launched into a “did that really happen?” story about her publicized trip to Target as first lady. Despite being surrounded by Secret Service and photographers, Michelle says “the only person who came up to me in the store was a woman who asked me to help her take something off a shelf. Because she didn’t see me as the first lady, she saw me as someone who could help her.”

The implicit r****m in such an event – if it happened at all – is hard to find. Anyone clueless enough to A) not recognize Michelle Obama and B) be blind to the entourage surrounding her is not playing with a full deck. Either that or she was messing with the first lady deliberately, which would be hilarious.

Even allowing for the ultra-slim possibility that the incident played out like Michelle insists, how does that invoke r****m? In her trip to Target, Michelle was dressed down but she wasn’t wearing a red shirt and a pair of khakis. It’s doubtful that the woman mistook her for an employee. So therefore, we’re left to assume that the first lady ascribes r****m to anyone who asks her for assistance. If that’s the new definition of r****m in 2014, then it’s no wonder the liberals are always up in arms about it. It literally is everywhere.

For his part, Barack said in the interview: “There’s no black male my age, who’s a professional, who hasn’t come out of a restaurant and is waiting for their car and somebody didn’t hand them their car keys.” He clarified that it had happened to him as well.

Time to pull out the good ol’ r****m scale again. Let’s see. On one end of the scale we’ll put “Twice elected president of the United States.” On the other end of the scale we’ll put “Once mistaken for valet.” Hmm, interesting. Interesting. (Scribbles note on science-pad.)

Real r****m, when heard or seen, should always be condemned. But when liberals looking to demonize white America insist that things today are only marginally better than they were in the early 1960s, they succeed only in sinking their own ship. The Obamas have every right to gossip about their “microaggressions” to the tabloids, but the t***h is that things will never be perfect. Many white people have been mistaken for Target employees and car valets as well. Many more than have been, let’s say, elected to the highest office in the land.

Here's the news video of Michelle's shopping trip to Target. Dressed as she is, I would neither recognize her as The First Lady (a LOT of people interviewed after didn't either) OR a Target employee. All Secret Service were in plainclothes and she had only one assistant with her.
A woman called into a radio station and said that the woman who asked for help was her very short sister who couldn't reach an item on a top shelf and, being in a hurry, asked the closest person to her that was tall (5'10" Michelle) for help. If Michelle sees this as a racial affront, she either has a BIG chip on her shoulder or an agenda.
Watch the video and tell me if YOU would have recognized her:

Then Google "parking valets" and select Images and see what valets across the nation dress like and look like. Most men don't dress that way for a "gala" and most are white.

I call BS on both of them - what they're doing is race-baiting and it's shameful and counter productive- unless racial discourse is what you're after.

"WE" have just been schooled in the liberal progressive format. I rather like the "on-fire" black girl who [on the net] set the Ferguson tragedy in total perspective. What if the "gentle Giant," Brown, hadn't strong-arm robbed a convenience store, and intimidated and assaulted a tiny Asian clerk who was just trying to do [his] job??? The girl's conclusion was right-on; Brown would still be alive today. She went on to say; "Had Brown pulled the same crap with another neighborhood black, the n***a' would have k**led him" [Brown].

Some b****s are constantly looking to blame w****s for every unfortunate incident they go through. Get over it. This is 2014. B****s have to learn to take advantage of the opportunities we have today and not fall into the victim trap.

The Obamas, Eric Holder, Al Sharpton etal have done more to harm in promoting bad race relations in the past six years than anything or anyone in the past 200+. They have fomented the racial hatred, the k*****g of w****s by b****s, and are gleefully clapping their hands each time a situation becomes "racial" because of them. They are evil.

We (w****s) are constantly being called r****ts. Some are. Some aren't. I believe the biggest problem for many b****s is how they see themselves. Not first as a man or woman, father, husband, mother, American, Christian, wh**ever. They see themselves as black, a color, so don't be surprised when others see your color first. When you see color it is easy to blame that color for wh**ever happens.

The degeneration of race relations is but another tool used by Husein Obama, the Muslim ratical, in his quest to bring this Country down from the inside.

Absolutely right, and that's what the president should be telling the populace in exactly those words, -- along with telling the black minority that there is a disregard for t***h and a problem with respect for authority among many of them.

What has happened in the last 4 days is going to be the straw that broke the camels back. We now have a black man who just assassinated two cops, one of them Oriental, and the other Hispanic!
President Obama had better get a handle on this real quick! But he does not think he should interrupt his vacation just for this, and I don't think Sharpton is the right man for the job.
This is about to get real bad, real fast!

Steve700

What do you think is going to happen ???

Weasel Loc: In the Great State Of Indiana!!

I think Obama will continue to use this for political gains and ignore the needs of the black race, while pumping money into city governments. All these protest should be taking place in front of the White House.

Speaking of the Gentle Giant, check out the youtube video of him absolutely coldcocking another old black man and then taking his backpack and going through his pockets. After the old man shakily gets to his feet, he's then coldcocked again by one of the Gentle Giant's thug associates and knocked unconscious briefly. He manages to stagger to his feet and wobbles off banging into walls as he walks away. BTW, the Gentle Giant was facing a criminal charge for that assault when he met his well-deserved demise.
