The NY Times has partnered with Emmy Award Winning Comedienne and Actress Nicey Nash on creating a Hotline for White bigots who are just too darn busy to fuss with 911 but no so busy they can’t just mind their own damn business…
1-844-WYT-FEAR!
“Niecy Nash and The New York Times came together to create a real hotline for a real problem. For all the #BBQBecky, #PermitPatty and #CornerstoreCarolines of the world, now you can call 1-844-WYT-FEAR (1-844-998-3327) anytime you want to harass a black person for simply living their life!
“”You’re scared, you’re white… but with cell phone cameras and social media, calling 911 on your black or brown neighbors just isn’t what it used to be,” Niecy says in the satirical infomercial, where she plays the inventor of the emergency service. Instead of calling 911, Niecy says the company’s “experienced staff have been living while black in America their entire lives” so call them instead!
According to The New York Times’ Opinion page, the hotline is up and running, “so give it a ring and spread the word. (Seriously.)”
”The phenomenon of white people harassing African-Americans going about their day is nothing new, but with the ubiquity of smartphones and social media, everyone can now see how these injustices are played out and lead to anxiety for and material harm to people of color,” NYT reports. “This problem is bigger than a few unreasonable white people. Racist stereotypes are baked into our society.”
...Thanks to a lot of half-baked white people.
