    It's difficult and uncomfortable to admit that we have to talk about race/class/gender/sexuality/ability/etc, all at once. I get it.

        @rgay @marlainajo makers of vid could be more race conscious, but it is hard to get all issues. Having allies respectfully check them helps.

        Considering race is not asking folks to"get all issues" @robertbalkovich @marlainajo

        @rgay you people act like black men are animals already and black men started cat calling. Black men were murdered for this.

        I'm black and I spoke about the video's troubling racial issues so get your facts correct before you come at me. @masterjedii

      @rgay I REALLY appreciate what you said about the racial undertone of the street harassment video.

      @rgay I couldn't help but get offended by the race/class based prejudice that gets glossed over in some anti-harrassment messages.

      @rgay I had people telling me they were 'surprised' when they didn't get catcalled in my neighborhood (visibly mostly working class, POC)

      @rgay Right is right and wrong is wrong and you are wrong for this white supremacist propaganda.

      @rgay As if finding a women attractive is a new thing. Harassment and complements are 2 different things.
