> "Also the author doesn't describe one "weird" guy as you suggest. She describes an individual "

Just as the person you replied to said... it's one person who is a FAR outlier example. So you agree she described one person.

> "Being white gives you the ability to brush this off as not your problem"

That's just reversing racism. No skin color of any kind is an automatic anything. There are trends but being "white" is not a panacea for all life situations.

> "If you value that guys right to be overtly offensive and racist"

I'll just quote the original comment.. " I'm not saying weirdos are good or correct or shouldn't be punished, but I am saying that trying to portray weirdos as as "a black women problem" is extremely inaccurate."
