Graffiti written with an ink pen on a seat on WMATA railcar 3175. The message makes disparaging remarks about black women in reference to their perceived attractiveness to black men.

I feel like there is a lot to unpack with this message, and I feel unqualified to analyze or discuss it myself. While I feel like I can't entirely wrap my own mind around the message, the sentiment expressed here does make me a bit uncomfortable.
