Girl walks down the street and takes video of all the black guys trying to hit on her

[Leetonidas]

I'd that skank tbh


Those were some pretty polite cat calls for the most part. Although it's kinda sad watching persistent some of them are when it's obvious she don't give a

[Leetonidas]

Though there were a lot of "DAMN!" reactions because they were looking at her ass

[mrsmaalox]

and if that broad would have chose to walk in the business district no one would have said to her below average ass lol

Yup. And if anyone in a 3 piece suit and BMW had catcalled her she probably wouldn't have as much of a problem with it.

[Jacob1983]

A lot of them said "how are you" and that's sexual harassment?

And where are the honkeys? This is in NYC right?

On Tuesday, Slate and everyone else posted a video of a woman who is harassed more than 100 times by men as she walks around New York City for ten hours. More specifically, it’s a video of a young white woman who is harassed by mostly black and Latino men as she walks around New York City for ten hours. The one dude who turns around and says, “Nice,” is white, but the guys who do the most egregious things—like the one who harangues her, “Somebody’s acknowledging you for being beautiful! You should say thank you more,” or the one who follows her down the street too closely for five whole minutes—are not.

This doesn’t mean that the video doesn’t still effectively make its point, that a woman can’t walk down the street lost in her own thoughts, that men feel totally free to demand her attention and get annoyed when she doesn’t respond, that women can’t be at ease in a public space in the same way men can. But the video also unintentionally makes another point, that harassers are mostly black and Latino, and hanging out on the streets in midday in clothes that suggest they are not on their lunch break. As Roxane Gay tweeted, “The racial politics of the video are fukked up. Like, she didn’t walk through any white neighborhoods?”

The video is a collaboration between Hollaback!, an anti-street harassment organization, and the marketing agency Rob Bliss Creative. At the end they claim the woman experienced 100 plus incidents of harassment “involving people of all backgrounds.” Since that obviously doesn’t show up in the video, Bliss addressed it in a post. He wrote, “we got a fair amount of white guys, but for whatever reason, a lot of what they said was in passing, or off camera” or was ruined by a siren or other noise. The final product, he writes, “is not a perfect representation of everything that happened.” That may be true but if you find yourself editing out all the catcalling white guys, maybe you should try another take.

This is not the first time Bliss has been called out for race blindness. In a video to promote Grand Rapids, Michigan, he was criticized for making a city that’s a third minority and a quarter poor look like it was filled with people who have “been reincarnated from those peppy family-style 1970s musical acts from Disney World or Knott’s Berry Farm,” as a local blogger wrote.

Activism is never perfectly executed. We can just conclude that they caught a small slice of catcallers and lots of other men do it too. But if the point of this video is to teach men about the day-to-day reality of women, then this video doesn’t hit its target. The men who are sitting in their offices or in cafes watching this video will instead be able to comfortably assure themselves that they don’t have time to sit on hydrants in the middle of the day and can’t properly pronounce “mami.” They might do things to women that are worse than catcalling, but this is not their sin.

A really good video about catcalling actually already exists. In Jessica’s Feminized Atmosphere, Jessica Williams of the Daily Show covers the whole range of street harassment, from construction workers (of all races) to security guards to Wall Street “ bags” to teenagers hanging on the corner. She and a group of women lay down pins on places in New York to avoid and by the end, the entire map is covered. There are race and class issues latent in her video, too. She is black, and the women she gathers for her discussion group are all races. But you don’t leave with that icky impression of a white woman under assault by the big bad city. Plus, she has the group demonstrate the armor they wear while walking down the street, which turns into a glorious mosaic of bytch face.

So deliberating going after White Males will show it isn't bias?

Face it, the White guys weren't as in your face and/or not sitting in a chair outside in broad day light on a weekday

[Drachen]

Guys can't be nice to a lady without having to be stereotyped as hitting on them.

I mostly agree with you, but I think that your view is warped a bit because you don't live in NYC. I don't either, but when I worked at USAA there was a girl who had just moved from there and we took smoke breaks together and I always held the door open for her. For a whole year, she always liked surprised and responded with a resounding "thank you." I asked why this bewildered her so and she mentioned that guys don't do nice things like that in nyc. This leads me to a greets the nice " o" that each stranger have her may have had an ulterior motive, however I disagree that it should be treated as harassment.

That was disgusting when that asked "How are you this morning?"

DAYUMMM!

That dude that followed for 5 minutes was looking for an open and empty ally to rape.

[Koolaid_Man]

I started to email her about a possible blow job but the chic is an airhead. I saw her on CNN trying to promote her acting skills but she's inarticulate and sounds like a moron on camera.

The funniest comment of all is when that pimp said: " Dam i just saw a thousand dollars walk by." LMFAO

[DPG21920]

I get that it wasn't a good representation of all races/parts of town, but instead of claiming racism, why not talk about their actions?

How does the video not being portrayed "evenly" absolve those who were filmed of their actions?

You can be really ignorant at times. When you exclude white cat calls and blame it on technical errors then yes there's racial bias involved. Ok numnuts. Lol

[bigzak25]

What do you expect from s in the streets. But I'm sure I've given a wow to a fantastic dime once or twice.

No one said there wasn't racial bias. I said even with racial bias, how does that detract from their actions. Their actions wouldn't become better/worse if the video showed equal white guys doing the same thing. Be upset the sample wasn't great - don't shift the responsiblity or absolve them of their actions.

Lol@their actions. Are you some kind of sexual. There was only one guy that was out of bounds. The guy following her. Everyone else was being a red blooded aggressive African American male

[Dirk Oneanddoneski]

She's not white she's a ratcoon, her name is Shoshana that's like the Jewish girl version of Shlomo or Mordecai

[Jacob1983]

How is someone saying "how are you" equate a rape threat? Doesn't this uppity have a toy or something?

[Koolaid_Man]

I checked out her website and that ain't ...them dudes obviously can't pull no fine ho's...
