Street/Sexually Harassed at the Panera Bread on Dobbin Road, Columbia, Maryland

One morning at about 9:00 am or so, I decided to go to Panera Bread whose particular location on Dobbin Road in Columbia, Maryland, I usually do not venture to. I had to go to one of the stores in that plaza so I thought I might as well get breakfast too. Sounds simple? Not when a Black ‘Christian’ male STRANGER is stalking you.

I was in my car in the parking lot fiddling around for my shades and my purse when I noticed a Black male driving a grayish sedan pass by and slow down. I initially thought nothing of it because he parked about 5 spaces west of me. Just in case, I took an extra five minutes to ensure he exited his car and was actually out of the parking lot before I left my car.

I then was walking to the entrance of Panera Bread. This location has two attached stores on either side of it and mostly floor to ceiling wide windows as part of its entire storefront. As I stepped closer to the entrance I saw that same Black man staring from inside of the store at me. I turned towards the toward and ignored him.

As I entered, I noticed there was only one cash register open and guess he was chit chatting with the cashier–yes, that same Black male from the parking lot. I ensured I was approximately NINE FEET (9′) behind the Black male. Did not help at ALL. He kept glancing behind him in my direction and I literally turned away. He then continued to stagnate the line as it extended behind me–until another employee open the next register and said to me “May I help you?” At this point, I and the “stranger danger” were both at the order counter but different registers.

Next, is nothing but a Black “Christian” (with ‘Baltimore’ essence emanating from his pores) would do:

This Black “Christian” street/sexual harassing male poked me in my right arm and said to me “You dropped something.” Is there a reason why he had to touch me? Of course not, civilized, normal people just say “excuse me” but oh no, not this simian he just had to invade my personal space. If I was a white woman would he had touched me? No? A covered Arab Sunni Muslim? Yep, you guessed it still a “no.” I knew he was lying because I just got to the counter and hasn’t paid for my transaction yet so I hadn’t opened my purse yet for anything to have fallen out. In order to prevent an automatic violent response from this Black “Christian” predator I looked down and saw a beat up packet of kleenex that looked like it was marinating on the restaurant floor for hours. I quickly stated ‘that’s not mine’ and continued with my order. The cashier, a white female looked at the guy like “go away” instead he berated me for not engaging in unsolicited, unprovoked, unwanted, trying to be inappropriate dialogue. He snapped (though no one said anything further to the Black male suspect) ” ‘Scuse me for trying to be nice.” I ignored him and continued with my order he then started talking to himself–because I had said nothing else. After I pocketed my receipt in my purse, I went to get coffee in which the flavored coffee I wanted had been depleted. I then heard the Black suspect pacing back and forth berating about “nobody want to touch you anyway.” I thought-illogical statement- if you didn’t why did you? I went to the drink bar counter to inform them that one of the coffee containers needed to be replenished. The Black criminal was STILL yelling and mumbling. I stated audibly without turning around, “touch me again, I’m filing charges” as I continued to prepare my coffee. Apparently, my attempt to get a breakfast and to conduct a transaction could not occur without incident in the State of Maryland.

After getting coffee, I went to the counter for pickup orders. The Black ‘Christian’ criminal was STILL yelling. I thought maybe I should call the police. Panera Bread on Dobbin Road full of white patrons and no one helped–who cares of an innocent Sunni Muslim who is Black is assaulted, accosted or killed by an insure Black Christian criminal. For many, if it had escalated, I have a feeling they would have internally applauded. Howard County is KNOWN for its overt racist attitudes towards Sunni Muslims.

However, there seemed to be one decent white woman who I thought was best to stand beside and was also waiting for her “to go” order.

I began to speak to her about travel and adventures and yes, you guessed the guy was still yelling and when his order finally was ready he asked the food preparer was it his. Then he looked at me and yelled, I want to make sure I don’t TOUCH someone else’s bag and stormed out.

I said to the woman I knew that guy was going to bother me, he kept staring at me as I entered the store. She said “…but it is such a beautiful day…” I thought yes, and these destructive Black “Christian” males are intent on destroying it for decent women who are minding their own business and aren’t interested in them.

Is not this something? HE is upset because I made it obvious that he should have NEVER put his hands on me.

Decent ladies, in broad daylight, in a suburban restaurant even then you have to be vigilant, listen to your instincts. I thought I did enough offense by waiting in my car before going in. Apparently, that and standing several feet is insufficient to ward them off. Nowadays, you have to act like your own S.W.A.T. team, director of recon., preemptive detective and surveillance of all known perimeters. If only I could create some harassment repellent and bottle it–I would make millions…there has to be some type of hormonal or genetic mutation where certain males are prone to sexual harassment/violent behavior that could be spliced or extracted.

Anyway, I digressed: The reality is that no one will assist or protect you in Maryland if you are a women of color.

Black ‘Christian’ males: A word to the wise, you should assume a Sunni Muslim Black American woman is not interested in you just as you assume that Arab, Persian and Indian Muslims are NOT interested in you. Your skin color does not provide some esoteric, anthropological exemption to our religious beliefs that we actually do practice everyday. You set yourself up for disappointment and with your inability to conduct yourself like a civilized human being in modern society you will likely set yourself up for imprisonment due to your violent and/or hysterical inability to accept the rejection you already know is imminent.

I think, just not for myself but for also those readers who are survivors of street harassment and accosting to make sure you get license plates, descriptions of cars, race, markings (like tattoos and moles) and locations. Tell your stories, let the world know how Black “Christian” male predators truly conduct themselves on a daily basis, how many women of color are not helped or protected in this so called free and democratic society; let their mothers, daughters, nieces, friends and wives know how they act in public towards innocent, decent women who are total STRANGERS. Expose these Black “Christian” criminals for the social demons they truly are. Most importantly, be safe and be careful.

An Open letter to Black (Christian) Men

An open letter to Black Men:

Please leave me alone. I am a covered practicing Sunni Muslim in Maryland, I wish that you do not attempt to interact with me, drop lines, insult or harass me. The majority of you are Black and Christian or atheist. Why would you think a religious Muslim woman would be interested in you or complimented by your foul behavior? I find you nasty and disgusting. When I am at the Subway sandwich shop or Royal Farms and next to pay for my merchandise–you hover and linger at the register when your transaction is complete to make an excuse to stare to get my attention, make a pretext to touch me (“bump”) into me. Black Christian males you reinforce civilized society’s belief you are a threat. Well, because you constantly threaten my safety, your consistent pestering, sexual street harassment behavior have given countless women of color post-traumatic stress syndrome. While you think you have ‘game’ we look at you like the predatory phallic beasts you are–the reality is that you are a constant threat. The only person you impress is yourself with self-delusion (and unintelligible reinforcement by your groupthink/gang/homeboys who do not understand how the rest of the world, including Sunni Muslim Black American women see you) of sexual prowness which demonstrates you operate on a base/animalistic level. Just because your black Christian mother coddled you and reinforced your belief that whites are the sole source of your woes does not give you a pass to harass innocent women who make it obvious they have no desire to be harassed by you by:
1. Not responding to you;
2. Turning away;
3. Cursing you out;
4. Walking away from you.

You set yourself up for rejection by attempting to go after good, decent, educated religious women you have no chance with. Then you get upset with the target of your savage desires. You are not a Muslim (Ive seen the inner city converts-majority of you are just the same as–thugs with elf look claiming to follow Sunnah). If a Muslim was to bend the rules for a non-Muslim man it surely WOULD NOT BE FOR A BLACK ONE.

It is not just solely preference and disgust with your public behavior, statistically and objectively you are a poor choice for a decent woman who wants a beneficial future for a nuclear family and here’s why:
1. While many ethnic American men may not be religious many do respect religion. Black men do not, you do not respect structure, organization, or personal responsibility. Yet, you think you have the right yo access Sunni Muslim Black women because of their value. Our value is strengthened because our religion cultivated us and we know you don’t value the thing  (our beliefs) which helped to make us who we are so surely you will only harm, abuse or destroy us (demonstrated simply by your hostile attitude and the fact you try to “holla” at a covered Sunni Muslim; you wouldn’t dare approach a white nun–period). You are sociopathic bullies who try to intimidate respect out if people, thus do not know what respect is. Yes, many of us are afraid of you. When we see you we see harm; while you are laughing while nothing is funny we are thinking of calling law enforcement. You act like thugs but get upset when decent people stay away from you out of fear and claim racism. Well, I am a decent Sunni Muslim black woman I do the same-I know your modis operendi.
2. Statistically black men rape and sexually assault both black and white women–often. You have no self-control or self-restraint–today’s Black Christian male possess a prominent bestial nature. Thus, you are more proned to harm women.
3. You are ill-mannered and disrespectful in the name of rebelling against ‘the system’ but you only achieve disrespecting Sunni Muslim black and other decent women.
4. You are mysogynistic and view women as property:
a. No you cannot ‘get a smile.’ I owe you nothing. You are a stranger who is invading my space. I do not engage in unnecessary interactions with men generally, especially black ones.
b. No you cannot “holla” at me for “a second.” I will not allow a strange sexual predator to raise his voice at me or “drop lines” to contribute to your insatiable ego. I am not a “shortay” and stop venturing into our suburbs to prey on us. In other words no you cannot “talk” to me. Simply disgusting. You are sloppy, nasty, uneducated and do nothing more than sniff around. You do not belong among humans.
c. It is not flattering to keep clearing your throat, making hacking/hog spitting noises to get my attention. Clearly the only way you are capable of communicating with an actual human being is through these uncouthe, bestial sounds that you presume is some type of mating ritual. Reality check: you are the only one participating stay away from me.
5. 1:4 Black men are in prison, on parole or probation.  This statistic has remained true since the 1990s. You attempt to spread your filth on innocent bystanders and those who actually work hard, live decent and clean lives because you cannot do so. It amazes me how you want to live in the auburbs and have the benefits of this lifestyle but you do not change, you do not develop, you do not believe in God, you drink, gamble, smoke, prey on innocent women, are on the down-low, have multiple baby mamas–then have the audacity to think you deserve a good, decent, well-mannered covered religious Sunni Muslim? You are truly sociopathic, nasty and psychotic and I hope and pray you Black men stay away from me once and for all. Just to make it clear: We don’t want you. Despite your lack if intelligence maybe some of these words will sink in.

6. You hate being Black that is why you disrespect Black women or those you assume to be black or appear to have a gradient of pigment more than white women. You grab, put your finger on and otherwise attempt to touch Sunni Muslim Black women whom you have no right to. You are a STRANGER. Only a being with demonic proclivities or a devilish soul conducts themselve in this manner. You are nasty and evil.

6. You possess the evil eye. I noticed this among many Black Christian men and women. I am not referring to *rolling eyes* because of attitude. There is a specific evil that eminates from the eye that also gives off heat and energy and most people know beforehand that they have an inability to not harass someone who is minding their business. Black Christian men are demonic and in laymens terms you are incline to cause harm or make trouble for your entertainment and devilish pleasures.

7. Why can’t you mind your business. No one is talking to you and you are not “running things.” We know you have a problem with authority, structure and civilized environments because you rarely been in a position if authirity. NEWSFLASH: you do not have authority of me so stop trying to force me to speak with you. Not interested.

Therefore if a woman, including Sunni Muslim Black women do any of the following and you continue your course of conduct  you are a predator an sexual harrasser and assaulter:

1. She ignores you/does not respond.
2. She walks away from you.
3. She rolls her eyes.
4. She crosses the street to get away from you.
5. She looks away or opposite direction.
6. She gets on her cell phone.
7. She begins speaking to a stranger to alert someone you are harming her.
8. She gives a big sigh.
9. She curses you out.

So get a clue: Black man leave me alone.
