Dee Lockett: racist anti-White hatemonger
Dee Lockett bashes White men - and that's not "racism" or "hate" or "bigotry". Nope, just as long as the victims are White men, it's all good.
Here's the video at issue:
And here's what Ms. Lockett has to say about the dearth of White men in the video:
**************************
In a statement explaining the absence of white guys in the video, Rob Bliss of Rob Bliss Creative, the firm that partnered with Hollaback on the video, said, “We got a fair amount of white guys, but for whatever reason, a lot of what they said was in passing or off camera.” I’d bet this is because, as Bliss gets at in his quote, white men, on average, don’t catcall in the same way that men of color do—and oftentimes, as I’ve learned, they don’t do it at all.
That, of course, is not to say that white men don’t have their own predatory nature—one that is expressed in ways unique to their privilege. As we know from countless court cases, it’s not that white men don’t hassle women (or rich white men, as Joyce Carol Oates implied this week in a tone-deaf tweet), it’s that they do it in a different way.
For all men, harassment of women has more to do with establishing power than it does sexual interest; they do it to control space, both public (the very street you both walk on) and personal (a woman’s self-set boundaries). Men of color catcall vocally and visibly on the sidewalk because they have to—not that there’s ever excuse for harassment. They need the “Sexy!” and “Smile!” to create the illusion of dominance in shared public spaces that social constructs and institutional racism have never afforded them control over.
White men, on the other hand, have no use for that sort of catcalling. They marked their territory centuries ago. So, instead, their sexual harassment is less invasive (“in passing,” as Bliss puts it) and harder to recognize—even when it’s staring you in the face. They do it in bars, at parties, on the frat row at your local college campus, in boardrooms, and other places men of color are never privy to, at least not in positions of power. As a biracial woman of color who, despite being half-white, likely “reads” black to many people, I've walked into parties thrown by traditionally white fraternities and bars with a diverse crowd, and white guys have gawked at me ever so slightly, engaging with me as they would an exotic animal at a zoo. Particularly when I'm in a group with other women of color, they circle us, giving off cues to dance in a way that suggests it's nothing more than a social experiment for them; it's as if they're wondering, "what's it really like to dance with a black girl?" And white men harass, sometimes most crudely, online—particularly, as I’ve experienced, when approaching women of color.
Yeah, that's right Dee, most White guys usually approach women in socially appropriate venues. What else are they supposed to do? Isn't that to be expected? Do you expect White men to express their interests in women via telepathy? I've noticed in these venues that there are a great deal of women expressing interest in men, too. But none of this matters to Dee. Dee went to college, where she learned to "blame Whitey". That's her answer to every issue or question that arises: blame the White man. And college taught her how to invent "facts" and concoct bullshit "arguments", so she can "blame Whitey" no matter how convoluted and ridiculous her "blame Whitey" game becomes.
As a White man, I am shocked to discover that I've "marked my territory centuries ago": I didn't realize I was that old, and I actually own very little property. Further, I, as a White man, have never entered hollowed corridors of power, such as a "boardroom". But doubtless, Dee's Cultural Marxist professor at college taught her that it's okay to make racist generalizations, as long as the subjects of the racist generalizations are White men. Dee uses the phrase "women of color" - as if "white" isn't a color. But "white" is a color. I remember my crayon box, and there was always a white crayon in it, and it was labeled "white". But denying White people everything - even a name to reference the color of their skin - is what hateful racists like Dee have been trained to do. People like Dee are so smug and self-righteous, so arrogant and condescending, that they are incapable of seeing just how full of shit they really are.
