onlyblackgirl: susiethemoderator: bubblegum-pwussay: whyyoustabbedme: Let’s not even get started on how they’ll cut you in line & avoid eye contact so they can say they “didn’t see you standing there”. They will literally wait until u move instead of just saying excuse me. Not like anyone was wondering, but earlier this year I told myself I’m not moving over for white people if the situation favors them moving. Like, when I’m walking towards a white person or a group of white people from the opposite direction and in the passing-by-each-other situation it makes more sense for them to move than me? I don’t move over, I keep walking dead ahead. I’ll even stare them down. I stopped moving for white people because I noticed they literally will keep walking straight and not even think to move to the side even though it would make the most sense in the walking path spacing. They won’t acknowledge you or say excuse me. I don’t even know if they realize they do this rude behavior or if they just don’t care? Absolutely no home training. You’d be surprised how many White People I bump into in public places. White women more than white men (who tend to notice I’m not side stepping then they will move). When I say ‘bump into’ I mean full on walking force chest to chest and they’ll blink back in surprise that I didn’t side step so they could walk through. It’s comical because all they had to do was step over half a foot, but you chose to ignore me thinking I’d succumb and now we’re here! :) There’s also the ones who figure out “oh this girls not moving” and they quickly move last minute and we bump shoulders. When I first started doing it earlier this year I never realized how often I moved over. I was livid, especially when you notice they don’t even THINK to move over or say “excuse me”. They truly expect you to go out of your way to accommodate them in this way and it’s like FOH. I’m a very considerate person and I’ll move if the situations calls for me to move like; if there is more room on my walking side, nothing blocking me and something is blocking them, they have children or pets or a stroller, physical disabilities, or if a crowd of people are making movement difficult. But if it doesn’t adhere to any of these? In about 14 foot steps we’re about to get to know each other VERY WELL. I don’t move for whites or men. -- source link
