A writer's debut novel gets delayed by her publisher after backlash for a picture she posted on Twitter of a D.C. transit worker eating on a train, and reporting the incident to the worker's bosses.
WASHINGTON — A writer on the verge of releasing her debut novel is facing a backlash after she posted a picture on Twitter of a public transit worker eating on a train and reported details about the woman to her bosses.
Tynes’ post showed the woman in her work uniform eating on the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority train. The authority doesn’t allow drinking or eating on its trains and buses, although officials on Wednesday had advised police officers to stop issuing tickets for those violations. Tynes’ publisher, California Coldblood, also issued a statement, saying “we do not condone her actions and hope Natasha learns from this experience that black women feel the effects of systematic racism the most and that we have to be allies, not oppressors.”
