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 Can anyone imagine the audacity if a black woman had said “You are a former President of the United States, so why are you such a sniveling whiny little bitch? Why do you always act so weird?” Because that’s what we were all thinking. Why is he always so weird about everything? She asked a simple question based on things he had said, and he just got weird about it - complaining that she was being “nasty”. Which is weird. Just answer the question.
