the white person calling on those people at the pools say we're asserting that the pool was a "white space" unattainable to AA. Only some dunce asserting their white privilege and entitlement rules would think silly, stupid shit like that but they do. The Becky's calling on sleeping and eating AA women in predominantly white colleges were asserting the same white privilege and entitlement the pool Becky's and Bob's did. Those black women did not belong there in that 'white space'.

You can dance all around white hate being the motivation for these Becky's and Bob'sracist hate at being affronted by black skin in a place they would like to keep white, doesn't make the grade.

The hate looks I get NOW, that I haven't had to endure since partially growing up in the South in the 50's started with these Becky and Bob calls and they tell me what they are insulted by. But their potus trump enabling and emboldening these racist pigs has given them the green light to let what's been hidden all these years out. Simple for a person on the receiving end to deduct. You want to be insulted by someone stating the truth of what a Becky or Bob is asserting when they call the police on a perfectly innocent and legal action/activity by a black person invading, their motivation, a "white space"? Okay. I don't care.
