What's most fascinating to me about the discourse around the #NABJ Trump interview is how many people think Scott's opening question was "hostile". It really reflects the reality of so many #BIPOC folks-- where literally just saying that someone has done something racist (especially in the workplace), even just repeating back their own racist words/ actions, (no matter *what* tone you use) gets you labeled "hostile" or "aggressive" or "angry". Saying the question was "hostile" speaks volumes.
I saw it, I didn't think it was hostile. It was definitely "don't try to feed me a line of bullshit" - something I think he's needed for a long time. But hostile? No.
Now if she'd asked something like "Why are you such a racist sack of shit?
That would have been hostile.
