WASHINGTON – Catcalling on D.C. streets by District workers could soon be a thing of the past. D.C. lawmakers are reviewing legislation that would mandate all city employees to undergo street harassment training. And if they get caught harassing other people in public, they would have to face consequences.

“If we can train all of them on what is appropriate conduct and how to be good, helpful bystanders, then we have an army of people in the city looking out and helping create our safe spaces,” said Councilmember Brianne Nadeau.

The Ward 1 council member introduced the anti-street harassment bill this week. She said several personal confrontations on city streets led to her proposed legislation.

“Walking down 16th Street and being harassed by a government worker on duty in uniform,” she explained. “When I was commuting every day on the Metro, every block I would be harassed. One day, I was walking to work in my professional attire and somebody commented and I asked them not to do that. The response was, ‘Well if you don’t want us to comment, why do you dress like that?’

**********************************My Comment:  is that today’s grown black men STILL have to be taught what is appropriate behavior in an industrialized, democracy. Just shows they are animals cloaked in human flesh.

At the Laundromat, Linthicum Heights, Maryland

One day I was running errands and ended up doing laundry at a laundromat in Linthicum Heights off Camp Meade Road, Maryland (Anne Arundel County).

The laundry mat had huge nearly ceiling to floor windows. There was also an employee working on dropped off laundry orders. As I was putting my clothes in the dryer, a large, brutish, dark skinned Black “Christian” male stopped and stared. Initially, I assumed he was passing by the storefront but had an eery feeling so I glanced a few minutes later and he was still there. The employee noticed he was staring as well and paused the clothing she was folding–around this time he entered the laundromat closest to the entrance and the older female employee walked up to him and asked what he wanted. About the same time another older woman who was waiting for her clothes to dry, and just as the employee was also Caucasian rose from the seating and stood beside the employee and asked the same thing. He was still staring at me as I watch the situation unfold as I was still placing my laundry in the dryer. He had no laundry with him, he was a total stranger and had to be blocked from bothering me by two Caucasian older women which did actually surprise me.

This Black “Christian” male was about to harass me and two older women saw the signs and stopped him from getting near me. He left within two minutes of not being able to state the nature of his business–because he had none.

Black “Christian” males you have been given countless directives and advice that a covered Sunni Muslim Black American has no interest in you. Keep in the course you are headed and you will find yourself in court on harassment and assault charges. Black man leave me alone–at this point black males should be charged with a hate crime for targeting Sunni Muslim women. Simply disgusting.
