Yvette Nicole Brown Addresses Her Post About Often Being Mistaken For A Target Employee

Yvette Nicole Brown: I was very respectful – I’ve been respectful to every white woman who thought I worked at a store. Every single one. I’ve never been rude. I just asked the question ‘cause I don’t understand it. I don’t understand it in the same way I don’t understand how I can say my name is “Yvette Nicole Brown” and people go, “Hey, Nicole!” I just don’t understand it. It’s not that it’s bad, I’m not rude about it, I just don’t get it. And the responses I got from other Black people, and Asian people and other people of color that have been mistaken for the help in various stores – it is something that happens and most of the time it is an older white woman that it happens to. So my thought about it is simply this: I don’t think it’s racist, I don’t think that all women – white women are racist, I don’t even think the 50 women that have mistaken me for the help are racist. What I think it is, is that I’ve heard a statement that white women are the most protected and respected women in this country. Which means their entire lives, they’ve been taken care of and tended to in some way or another by everyone, so they’re just used to…

Yvette: …people being of service. So when they’re out, and they need help, they just look for the first person that can be of service. That’s what I think it is.

[The Real audience applauds]

Yvette: But I just put it out there…

Jeannie Mai: Interesting

Yvette: …to get an understanding. And even saying that – please don’t @ me – I don’t say all white women think people are the help. I just think it’s something culturally. I don’t understand it because I’ve always been helpful, and “the help,” so I don’t understand that feeling of people getting in line to make sure you’re ok, but… you guys know that that’s the… case, right? Even white women – you feel…protected and taken care of, yes? In your life [To audience members] You two said yes? No? Well, you’re the outlier. Most of them, most of them do, and it’s again, it’s not a racist thing to say that, it’s just understanding that that’s their place in society, and God bless, if you can get it, God bless! It’s a privilege, but it’s not a bad thing. So when I said to the women, “Well, you know, I got a cart, and I’m picking up some canned peas from the grocery section, and I’m in black, and everybody wears red and khaki and I’m shopping just like you – here’s my purse!” You know? And they god, “Oh my God! Oh! Oh!” And it’s like, “It’s ok!” I’m just trying to understand it. That’s why I put the story out there.
