This is not a response – it’s really an add-on to your question. I have had a similar observation about ‘space’ – on a sidewalk, or in an aisle of a store, many black women seem to take up a large part of the center rather than shifting to the right to allow others to more easily pass by. And I’m not sure it is totally a ‘class’ thing. If dress, type of car and other external markers of class are indicators I suspect some of these women conduct and carry themselves in a very different way in the workplace or other settings -as all of us do. In some respects I envy that apparent ability to stand in the middle, speak up, have opinions and be an unavoidable presence – ‘I am ME – take it or leave it, like it or loathe it – I am ME and I am HERE.’ Most of the time though, I am annoyed when ‘norms’ of etiquette that smooth our interactions with others who are not in our intimate circles are breached.
