What's most fascinating to me about the discourse around the #NABJ Trump interview is how many people think Scott's opening question was "hostile". It really reflects the reality of so many #BIPOC folks-- where literally just saying that someone has done something racist (especially in the workplace), even just repeating back their own racist words/ actions, (no matter *what* tone you use) gets you labeled "hostile" or "aggressive" or "angry". Saying the question was "hostile" speaks volumes.
@kimberlyadams Unfortunately, it's a socially accepted way of shifting the responsibility back onto the targets of racism because "how dare you challenge me into looking at myself as a racist?" We all need to be honest and confront those feelings & fears in ourselves and do better!
