Get a Clue
Mood:  down
Today the usual offender (middle aged and black) tried the same old harassment.  Yawn.  I was leaving the downtown mall.  I just stared at him.  He was one of the men waiting for the bus probably who was lounging in front of the mall.  I saw him before I walked by him and he was watching me with interest...a gleam in his bloodshot eye before I even approached.  I was wearing a bun and prescription eyeglasses and a long loose fitting black coat.  I dress like that on purpose to avoid harassers.  Men lie in wait marking proper harassment victims from a distance planning their dumb little script out.  I proved today that it is not what you look like, it is simply the fact that you are female and they somehow feel its necessary to "call you out" as if you didn't know you were female already.  Gee fellas, we're big gals now and we've been bathing ourselves for quite sometime now....we already have figured it out.  As I walked off from him, he said to me angrily, "why you lookin' like dat fo?" as if he were angry at me for not responding happily to his harassment.  Goodness, I have a question for you as well Mr. Harasser....you've likely been born and raised here in America as were your parents.  So why is it that 12 year old immigrants from India speak better English than you?  I've said it before and I'll say it again: blacks love to talk about how the youth today are supposedly so much worse than older people yet the population of middle aged black men who have no place of their own, no education, no language skills worth shit and nothing better to do than harass working women is huge.  Do get a clue.
