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.

Disrespectful Black Man at Office Depot-Glen Burnie, Maryland

On an early weekday morning, I decided to get some errands done which included handling some business at the Office Depot. Since I was already in the area I went to the Office Depot in Glen Burnie, Maryland off Ritchie Highway/Route 2 near the MVA.

I was waiting at the customer service station counter. I was covered as usual, I had on pants a long tunic shirt which hit my hips and my hijab. I left my ankle-length sweater in my car, but nonetheless was covered. As I was waiting for the customer service cashier to conduct my transaction for payment. A much older, dark-skinned black man who appeared to be in his late 50s early 60s entered with a white guy about the same age and appeared to be a construction worker.

I focused my gaze on the customer service cashier in front of me when I felt someone staring as I looked to my right, the black man was making it obvious that he was staring at my posterior. I turned back around visibly irritated when I heard the white man he was with begin to chuckle. When I turned back around the black male, although a couple of feet away, was holding on to the counter with one hand and bending down trying to look under my tunic. The cashier a young white lady and myself just rolled our eyes and attempted to ignore both of them. I was lucky he didn’t grab me, because that was likely his next course of action.

To today’s black “Christian” men, you are the worst human beings I have consistently encountered in my life. You treat women of color worse than the Ku Klux Klan, racist professors or white policemen. You are a plague to your community and you continue the stereotype of “buckdancing” for Mr. Charlie. You will do anything to seek the approval of white men. Black men, by your actions you have declared yourself an enemy to decent women. You destroyed the Black Christian community and now you attempt to infiltrate the Sunni Muslim community which have many practicing Sunni Muslim Black American women. May G-d bring down His wrath upon you and punish you justly for your sins and offenses. I know you do not believe in G-d because if you did you would not disrespect His Creation, yes that includes women of color, especially G-d-fearing ones.
