Harassed by a Black Man at 7 Eleven Gas Station: Route 198, Laurel, Maryland

One day I was paying for gas at the 7 eleven near the Target off 198 in Laurel, Maryland (Anne Arundel County). The cashier was South American and polite as I was completing my transaction, a dark skin black male Christian whispered in a very invasive and sinister tone “Yah like those Latinos, don’t you?”

I literally froze and thought grab your receipt and immediately leave the store which I did.

Although I had my hijab on, my space and personal boundary was invaded by a black male STRANGER who had nothing to do with my transaction. If I didn’t have part of my hijab covering my ears I believe he would’ve touched them with his slithering mouth.

My lifelong experience is that black males are the primary harassers and predators and continued to be an ever-present menace to public spaces.

Black man leave me alone.

Black Man Sexually/Street Harassed Black Woman at Shell Gas Station, Prince George’s County, Maryland

On an occasion I was in Prince George’s County I ventured to a Shell gas station off Riverdale Road which leads to a split by-pass of Princess Garden Parkway in the late morning. As I began fueling a Black woman appeared to be there alone began yelling at a black man for propositioning her. Her tone of voice was wrought with anger and disgust but was also characterized as an intent to alert bystanders that she may need help. She stated, “You don’t talk to no female that way!” As more witnesses continued to look upon the situation the black man looked guilty and began retreating yelling “All I said is how she was doin’!”

None of the bystanders, including myself were close enough to be privy to what he said.  Whatever it was she was offended, not interested and he wouldn’t let her be.

However, let’s take this black male at his claim that he simply asked how she was doing. Most able bodied black people know this is more than a simple query into a woman’s day or what some may deem a mere flirt (as you know black men are the biggest “slick talking, justifying every bad act they do everyday con artists). When a black man says this to a black woman he is really stating “I want to *expletive* you and you BETTER acquiesce.” This is why the black woman felt threatened because he refused to take her no, her attempt to ignore or simply get away from a total hedonistic stranger as her response.

Remember Joey from the hit sitcom ‘Friends’ and when he asked “How YOU doin’?” and everyone knew what he was up to–the difference is that he didn’t corner the woman in a small space or block her freedom of movement until he got the answer he wanted (which by the way is illegal and deemed ‘false imprisonment’).

This black male wanted to force his lustful desire on a black woman stranger who he viewed as his property simply because of her skin pigmentation. This ignorant black brute demanded what did not belong to him. This is very common street/sexual harassment by black males to Black women. At least she brought immediate attention to it and got away from the predator in a safe manner. Now just imagine how many Black women who are not as fortunate.
