On intervening on behalf of strangers in public
Well, women spent the last 40 years claiming they dont need men, so lets give them exactly what they asked for until they stop asking for it
@"she heard a white man berating two female employees, one black and one white"
I don't get why it's necessary to point out he was a 'white man'. Why must everything be laced with anti-white commentary these days.

They HAVE stopped refusing help, luj. More than 10 years ago, I'd say.
I can't open the link (I read the hard copy), but I don't remember anyone saying that only women get attacked by haters - or that minority men don't need a stranger to intervene too.
It has little to do with the idea that women don't want or deserve help. I.e., you can't blame strangers for being scared to intervene in the "old fashioned" way, even BEFORE the killings in Portland. (Same goes for why even adult victims - never mind teens or kids - in tight spaces often freeze up instead of screaming or fighting back the first time they're attacked physically or verbally by a stranger - they can't be sure they won't get killed.) So it helps society a great deal when we learn how to intervene and defuse wrath in an INDIRECT way.
Btw, I'm sure more than a few people here will enjoy this childfree-newsgroup anecdote from 2002 - I don't know if the narrator is male or female:

"I was heading out of Squallmart (yes, I know) and ahead of me was a HUGE woman with one large bag and one small sprog. Said sprog was walking in front of moomee, looking at her, and, therefore, walking backwards.
"In the parking lot a 70-ish woman was loading up her car with bags she was taking from a cart backed up right against her trunk. Trust me, cart placement is important.
"Yes, you know what happened - stupid sprogly smacked his stupid head into the cart (which was nearly flush against the car) and began to scream. Moomee noticed the ruckus (hell-if she'd been watching in the first place, she'd have noticed the impending collision in time to stop it, but no, she was zoned out) and began to moo.
"Moo -'HEY, HEY - watch what you're doing with that cart, you just hit my kid.'
"Innocent Woman (crawling out of the back seat of her car)- 'Huh, what? I was putting things in the back seat - my cart hasn't moved.'
"Moo - 'Look bitch, you hit my kid - say you're sorry right now.'
"Innocent Woman - 'I will not. Perhaps you should teach your child to look where he's going.'
"Moo - 'Either you say "sorry" right now, or I'll make you sorry, you dumb cunt.'
"Meanwhile, the kid has stopped whimpering, since he wasn't really hurt, the moomee has lunged at the petite old lady (while making a fist), and I'm trying to decide if I should try to take the 300lb moomee or run back to the store and call 911. Fortunately, I didn't have to do either.
"A tall, muscular man came striding over and stepped between the women. He said, 'What's your problem?' to the moomee, who then began her tale of woe. Before I could vouch for the older woman, the moomee started screaming that her child was owed an apology. The older woman said 'I will not, I did nothing wrong.'
"The gentleman, who had obviously observed the entire course of events said, 'Ok, then "I'll" apologize.' He knelt down in front of the sprog and said, 'I'm sorry your mother is rude and violent and I'm sorry she never taught you to look where you are going, since she obviously can't be bothered to watch out for you. Your life will be very difficult because of your mother's shortcomings, and I'm very sorry for that. No one should have to put up with someone like her.'
"The moomee just stood there with her mouth hanging open. The older woman said, 'Thank you,' got in her car and drove away. The man just turned and walked into the store. I couldn't help laughing while I walked to my car.
"I'm so glad that I didn't have to intervene- I don't think I could have held off breedzilla - she was easily two of me."

Obamas take on an $8.1 million dollar home.
Gee, over 30 years with 20% down (about 1.6 million) at 3.5%, that's only a $37,000 a month mortgage payment!
Where in the blue fork did they get that kind of cash? He was a community organizer, a senator for about two years, and then President.
Oh, right. He gets $400,000 to address the evil bankers on Wall Street. Probably going to set them straight on the 'big money corruption' issues, eh?
You want an investigation of the President? Investigate their cash flow.
