Handiblackin’

Have you heard about “handiblackin’”? It’s the newest craze. I normally wouldn’t lead off my column by citing a lengthy chunk of someone else’s work, but if you don’t know about handiblackin’, please learn about it from this Associated Press article:

    New Fad Draws Criticism, Concerns

    If you’ve noticed a flood of stories in the press recently about a new fad among black people called “handiblackin’,” you’re not alone. It’s a craze that many see as exemplifying everything that’s wrong with the black community. Handiblackin’ is when able-bodied black women feel entitled to use parking spaces reserved for the handicapped. Handiblackin’ made international news last month when a lazy black woman decided to park in a disabled space, leading to the death of her boyfriend and the arrest of a white man who was only trying to defend himself.

I see a bunch of entitled mindset people of all races and walks of life doing this. It isn't a 'black' trend, it is an as_shole trend. Pretty much every time I go to the store I see this, and there isn't a consistent pattern to race or class that does it. The last one was a middle-aged white woman parking her Maserati across three handicap spaces.

I'd love to see store security contacted and her car hauled away.

We have an app in town called 'city send' where you can send reports directly to the police. I know when I was walking by at least 2-3 people were taking a photo (hopefully not because of the type of car). I hope she got social media shamed.

Screw store security, just call the police, not a week goes by that lazy people park in our complexes sole handicap space. I kindly place a warning notice on their car the first time, the second time they receive a citation and that costs them over five bills. Yeah I know I'm a Dick, but I get fed up when the able bodied are just to lazy to walk a few more feet.
