It seems that quite a few of her posts involve “screaming at” people for things like this. Totally normal!

Largely because of crazy people like her. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/asking-an-african-american-woman-to-give-up-a-bus-seat-in-the-handicapped-section-makes-me-racist/674137)._
