Wow. Your thanks for a good deed is to call the guy a racist. Unbelievable even for you @sallykohn

Somebody did something nice for Sally Kohn, which means there must be a social wrong that needs to be corrected:
Forgot my wallet. MTA officer let me on subway for free. #classprivilege #whiteprivilege
— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) May 7, 2015
What? As always, don’t try and make sense of Sally Kohn or risk insanity.
Kohn did explain in more detail though:
A. Naming class/race privilege isn't calling bestower of privileged treatment classist or racist. Just a fact of biases we all possess.
— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) May 7, 2015
B. Getting free ride on subway certainly also of course NICE! Also arguable such niceties more often bestowed on me bc of race and class.
— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) May 7, 2015
Is there no act of kindness that doesn’t fall prey to liberal race/class obsessed overanalysis?
@sallykohn Or, it was just someone being kind, who isn't racist and understands people sometimes forget their wallets.

@US395 @HarrietBaldwin @sallykohn Maybe she should pay if forward to assuage that guilt – but sadly no don't think that will happen.

@sallykohn A black woman at the gas station forgot her wallet, and I paid the $32 for her. Oddly, I would have done the same were she white!

@sallykohn Why do you assume he never did it for a black lady or gentleman in the same circumstance?
— Mair (@MFehrman) May 7, 2015
@sallykohn probably didn't know who you were or what you represent. You took a free ride. Next time you'll pay double. Right?

Most ppl would have just thanked him/her &been appreciative for their small act of kindness. But not good ol' Sally! https://t.co/cuUuYEDwYC

ur so full of shit. I ride NYCMTA every day for 20+ yrs. Have seen countless ppl of all color get the "sure get on" wave @sallykohn

You've GOT to be kidding me, @sallykohn… turning a kind gesture into a race issue?! Why don't we ask the officer what his intentions were?

@sallykohn Lady at the grocery store was $3 short. I paid it. She was thankful. I don't remember what color she was. #RandomActsOfKindness
— Harriet Baldwin ?? (@HarrietBaldwin) May 7, 2015
Pathetic:
Never let a random act of kindness go to waste…? #AgendaTrumpsKindness

@sallykohn Why do you see everything as political. Why can't it be someone was just trying to be nice?

@sallykohn OR maybe none of that was involved. It could be U ARE JUST A NICE PERSON or the worker IS AWESOME & no #WhitePrivilege involved

Sally, Sally, Sally….. > @sallykohn YOU ACTUALLY think you got a free subway ride b/c "White Privilege?" Not b/c ppl are nice? Get help!
— SeldenGADawgs (@SeldenGADawgs) May 7, 2015
.@sallykohn Have u ever contemplated how pathetically sad it is that u find racism even in a random act of kindness? https://t.co/uRrDNoqElq

@sallykohn People can be kind without it being based on race, sex, economic status, or looks. It isn't always as complicated as we make it.
— AstrO (@Mi_Astronauta) May 7, 2015
@sallykohn wow. People can't even be nice to you without you turning it into a social commentary. Just say thank you @HarrietBaldwin
— James Whomever (@JamesWhomever) May 7, 2015
I'm curious @sallykohn, what would you have blamed it on if he HADN'T kindly let you through? https://t.co/Zisgov4ETF
— Kate Hyde (@KateHydeNY) May 7, 2015
@sallykohn @HarrietBaldwin Wow. Way to minimize a decent act by a decent guy. If he'd done the opposite, bet you'd have cried #WarOnWomen!

And let’s talk about “principles” for moment:

Maybe Kohn won’t believe America has achieved social justice nirvana until this happens:
