NYU librarian laments 'fatigue' from 'presence of white people (excerpt) A New York University librarian recently bemoaned the “racial fatigue” she experiences “in the presence of white people” following an academic conference. April Hathxxxx, a Scholarly Communications Librarian at NYU, recently attended the annual American Library Association [ALA] conference in Chicago, a trade conference for people in the library profession. "It[']s been 5 straight days of being tone-policed and condescended to and ‘splained to." Tweet This Right after the conference, Hathxxxx took to her personal blog to describe her “Post-ALA Race Fatigue,” lamenting that she was suffering from “serious race fatigue” after spending five days amongst her colleagues.

Have you ever spent any time as racial minority? I have, a couple of times while growing up I ended up in schools were whites were the minority, not the majority. And I can say that yes, it can be burdensome. I can't imagine being a person of color in a country where 70% of the population is white and you're almost always the minority. |

I have lived in places where it was common place to be arrested for DWW...(Driving While White) I have lived in places where the teller at the bank or clerk at the convenience store would take the person of color behind you or shut down for break. I have lived in places where I have been shot at, had a car smashed and once found a friend hung upside down with a rather unflattering sign pinned to him. I have lived in places where we were ganged up on because my best friend was out with his hot azz black girlfriend. I have lived in places where inner city kids mocked me for not wearing $200 shoes. I have lived in places where the black popo told me if I didn't hire him for protection people close to me would get hurt. I have lived in places where young black girls propositioned me because that's the only type of adult male activity they knew. I have lived in places where white girls where constantly harassed and accosted. I have lived in a place where my wife and I made arrangements to the exact time she would leave work and if she didn't arrive within x amount of time I was out looking for her. I have lived in a place where they hung a dude for raping a girl to send a warning to cut the nonsense. (It worked) So yes...I have lived places where I was in the minority. Good times...btw in our stateside abode we are a minority in our state of Tejas... |

the triggered Librarian wrote: “Race fatigue is a real physical, mental, and emotional condition that people of color experience after spending a considerable amount of time dealing with the micro- and macro-aggressions that inevitably occur when in the presence of white people,” Hathxxxx wrote. “The more white people, the longer the time period, the more intense the race fatigue.” While Hathxxxx noted that she is normally exhausted after such conferences for reasons unrelated to racial issues, she said that this time she “hit her limit” after spending five days “being tone-policed and condescended to and ‘splained to.” Honestly, at this point, I think the left just throws the term “privilege” around to denote the kind of people they don’t like |

She can move to Zimbabwe. I would wonder who she is planning to fight with when she returns from her privilege vacation. |

Is not uncommon anymore. The left have words for every presidency since Bush Jr. Bush: global warming, Haliburton, Downing St. Obama: hope and change, climate change, diversity, social justice Trump: Kkk, white privilege, Russia, global warming, deplorables Notice how leftists want us to believe that Obama was fighting for the commoners.

Dunno...she was exhausted though from ordeal into liberal Whitelandia.... Hathxxxx offered a litany of complaints about her fellow conference attendees, including the “white men librarians” who “complain about being a ‘minority’ in this 88% white profession.” She also slammed the “nice white ladies” who told her to be “civil” and “professional” when she tried to “talk about the importance of acknowledging oppression and our profession’s role in it.” Hathxxxx concluded by acknowledging that even though there were positive aspects of the conference, such as meeting new friends of color, she was nonetheless exhausted by the entire ordeal. |

Based on the posts on this site it is clear what she is talking about. Plus I don't believe you have lived like that for a moment. If you had you would be much more intelligent about urban issues than you demonstrate in your posts. |

Some people, including people here, will defend that sort of behavior though. It just proves that it exists on the left and the right, some of those same people will be up in arms when the other side does it though and fail to see the hypocrisy. |
