WARNING: this will not be short or sweet

Yesterday evening, I was followed and harassed by a dude in a car. Dude was driving alongside where I was walking and beckoned (I mean, whistled and snapped his fingers) me to come over to his car--his moving car. He drove for a couple seconds and, upon realizing I wasn't walking particularly quickly to catch up with him, stopped further up the street to wait for me. Ofcourse, I completely re-directed my path and crossed the street. Dude hollers at me from up the street (again, whistling and hooting)...I keep walking...dude, in traffic, reverses his car and makes a left turn onto the street and follows me for like a block. Luckily I was seconds away from my destination and turned quickly into the parking lot.

Now, why is it always black men who do this shit?? I mean, ..damn. What is it about African-American (or even African sometimes) culture that promotes this sort of  blatant disrespect? I'm a comparative human development major and I still can't place my finger on the impetus of this disgusting behavior. Granted, I understand the 'go-getter' mentality ...very well, but what makes a dude think women like this fuck? Do some girls like this?? ...is it sexy to have your space encroached upon by ignorant, god-awfully rude bitch-asses? Am I overreacting? Do i deserve to be called a bitch when I ignore such ignorance? Should I dress more conservatively? Last night, I was wearing a knee-length khaki skirt and a loose top..wtf, what if I was wearing my fave pair of jean shorts and a tank-top?! would I have been chased?..God, I 'm so fuckin' tired of it all. I've even gotten over the  'ooo, how u doing lil' mama?' bit that I hear on the regular, but this, this I can not deal with. I refuse to feel unsafe in my skin..period.

BITCH ASS FUCKIN MOTHER FUCKERS
