Incredibly powerful people still love to claim theyve been bullied. What does it mean for the rest
of us if even a bully can be pushed around? By Heather Havrilesky
Picked On
Last month, Bruce Springsteen canceled a concert in Greensboro,
N.C., to protest a new state law that, among other things, requires
people to use the bathrooms of the biological sex reected on their
birth certicates. Springsteen released a statement saying he wanted
to show solidarity with those waging a ght against prejudice and
bigotry against trans people. In response, United States Representative
Mark Walker, a Republican who supports the bill, told The Hollywood
Reporter that Springsteens boycott was a bully tactic, thereby
joining a growing chorus of people who seem to have mixed up their
Davids and Goliaths. A few days later, a (white) North Charleston,
S.C., police chief refused to attend a community meeting on the
one-year anniversary of the death of Walter Scott because of what
he called the bullying tactics of its (black) members at previous
meetings. Last September, Kylie Jenner, a reality star worth millions,
claimed that she was being cyberbullied by commenters on social
media. In 2009, the blogger Heather Armstrong tweeted that no
one should buy a Maytag washer because of what she called the

The photos Zun Lee collected, digitally scanned and put out in public,
have had a dierent life from the photos
in my collection. He wrote back to the
man who was tagged in some of them
and suggested meeting. After all, he did
not consider himself the owner of the
photos, only their custodian. Perhaps,
Lee oered, he might y to Los Angeles
and hand the photos over in person. The
man said no. Lee was disappointed but
sympathetic. He said hed already been
thinking about how databases and tags
are not neutral, how they can wind up
being hostile toward communities of
color. I completely understood, Lee
told me. This man was saying, We are

backdrop of surveillance and state hostility and corporate disregard, have a right
to doubt these technologies. There was a
recent report of Googles photo app automatically tagging a photo of two black
people as gorillas another instance of
machines replicating the nastier prejudices of their human teachers.
Lees pleasure in the Polaroids he
bought was also shadowed by questions:
Why had so many families lost their things
to secondhand dealers and estate sales?
Behind these photos of bell-bottoms,
Afros, birthday parties and interiors rich
with period detail lay the invisible stories
of evictions, dispossessions or separations.
The Polaroids were evidence of joy, but the
fate of the photographs themselves was
unhappy. Lee acceded to his interlocutors
request and took the tagged photos down.
In my collection, there is a picture
from the late 19th or early 20th century,
an image I think about as much as the
entire series of Mrs. X pictures. This
seated woman wears a long dark skirt,
dark stockings and polished dark shoes.
Her hair is a neatly parted mass of black,
almost an Afro. She wears a pale jacket
and is seated outside, next to a door and
a brick wall. She looks o to her right.
Below, not on the white border of the
photograph but directly on the photograph itself, someone has written, in ink,
the single word nigger.
I doubt that the person responsible for
this vandalism knew this woman personally. Perhaps it was written decades later.
The word, after all, has been with us a long
time, as has the spitefulness with which
it is deployed. But whenever the defacement occurred, I feel it has something in
common with both a contemporary form
of aggression and a very old one. Black
Americans, for most of their time in this
country, were named, traded and collected against their will. They were branded
physically tagged both to hurt and to
control them. The woman in my photograph has been tagged, too, semantically.
The written slur is like a brand.
Lee sent me a screen shot of his Facebook page as it looked while he was
uploading a batch of Polaroids. Several
of the images are of men in prison. There
are white rectangles framing the faces,
and there is an instruction above each
picture: Click Anywhere to Tag. That
mild directive an automated instruction from Facebook suddenly seems

Poets have always written odes of praise not to just what is lofty but also to the
ordinary things that surround us, in order to see what such deep attention can reveal.
This ode is a metaphor, where ute becomes man, and vice versa, in ongoing,
illuminating, mysterious conversation.

his lungs by

Letter of Recommendation
trajectory, certainly, but this sort of subtlety has no real purchase, at least not on
my son. The beautiful, if slightly sinister,
thing about The Rabbit Who Wants to
Fall Asleep is that it functions less as
cultural propaganda than as authoritarian
diktat. Its explicit aim is to bring about in
your child through the sedative eects
of repetition, through extreme dullness,
through strategically staged yawns a
state of narrative-induced anesthesia.
The book is the work of a Swedish
writer named Carl-Johan Forssen Ehrlin,
whose author bio lists a miscellany of
modish occupations: behavioral scientist,
communications teacher, life coach, leadership trainer. In an Instructions to the
Reader section, he tells us that passages
in bold text should be emphasized, while
italicized passages should be read in a particularly slow and calm voice. Used injudiciously, he writes, the book may cause
drowsiness or an unintended catnap, and
we are further cautioned never to read it
aloud close to someone driving any type
of vehicle or engaged in any other activity
that requires wakefulness. (This does seem
a little alarmist, though I wouldnt necessarily want to test it out on the open road.)
The narrative proper concerns a young
rabbit called Roger a name that can, we
are advised, be read as Rooo geeer with
two yawns who is having great diculty in getting to sleep. To alleviate this
situation, his mother takes him on a voyage to the other side of the meadow, where
there lives a kindly wizard named Uncle
Yawn, who specializes in helping rabbits
and children get to sleep using spells and
magic powders. Along the way, there are
encounters with somnolence-themed
animals (Sleepy Snail, Heavy-Eyed Owl)
whose pulverizingly dull soliloquies on the
topic of tiredness serve to prepare Roger,
and thus your child, for the nal somniferous encounter with Uncle Yawn.
At the wizards house, we hear more
discussion on such diverse topics as
sleepiness, going to sleep and being
asleep, before you yourself are eventually
directed, in one of the books frequent
square-bracketed interpolations, to symbolically sprinkle the invisible sleeping
powder over and around the child. Now
more and more tired with every step,
Roger is escorted back across the meadow
by his mother, before arriving home once
more, there to nally and unambiguously
lose consciousness. At this point in the

sleep, but we came quickly to the conclusion that the book merely makes explicit
and renders eective intentions
that were already implicit in many of the
stories and lullabies that had for so long
failed to get us anywhere. There was also,
Ill admit, some initial unease surrounding
the gure of Uncle Yawn, who with his
powerful, magical and invisible sleeping
powder seemed the sort of man youd
never take your child across a meadow to
visit in real life. But we realized that we
were projecting our adult fears and neuroses onto a blank cipher whose only real
work as a character was to act as an agent
of our own parental will. And I for one am
at peace with this. I cant speak directly
for my son, but he seems to be at peace
with it, too. He is, at any rate, at time of
writing, asleep.
to do, Alves says. Time the womans contractions; intense contractions at short
intervals signal impending birth. Wash
your hands and gather clean towels or
blankets. Maintain outward calm; distress
tends to spread between people. Dont tell
the woman when to push or what to do.
Trust her instincts and impulses.
Let the process ow, Alves says.
When the baby begins to emerge, do
not try to pull on the body or the umbilical cord. Do not push on the mothers
abdomen. Position yourself with a blanket
to help catch the baby. Wipe or suction
its nose and mouth to ensure clear airways. To cut the umbilical cord, place two
clamps, or tie two strings, an inch apart,
a little more than an inch out from the
babys navel. Slice between the two with
sterilized scissors. If possible, place the
baby on the mothers chest. Wait for the
mother to expel the placenta and monitor
her for bleeding. Get medical attention as
soon as possible.
Remember, birth is dramatic but ordinary. Worldwide, more than 250 women
give birth every minute. Airborne deliveries are rare, ill-advised and, Alves says, not
medically recommended. Of the 192,000
in-ight calls MedAire received last year,
just three cases resulted in in-ight babies.
(Twelve more cases involved women
going into labor, but those planes landed
before delivery.) The sky is a suspended
city, Alves says. Anything that can happen in a city can happen in ight.

Morning in America ad, a Vaseline-lensed montage of overwhelmingly white suburban prosperity. Walter Mondale the son of a small-town
Minnesota minister whose politics radiated an
austere, Scandinavian morality spent the last
days of his campaign unfurling increasingly dire
pictures of urban and rural poverty and beseeching people to vote for an America of fairness.
Speaking bitterly of Reagans commercial, he
told a crowd at a church in Cleveland: Its all
picket fences and puppy dogs. No ones hurting.
No ones alone. No ones hungry. No ones unemployed. No one gets old. Everybodys happy. But
Americans liked the picket fences and puppy
dogs. Reagan swept every state in the country
save Minnesota and the District of Columbia.
Not long afterward, Stanley Greenberg, a 40-yearold Yale political scientist who moonlighted as
a political pollster, was contacted by a group of
Democratic Party and union ocials in Michigan. They asked him to help explain what had
happened that November in Macomb County
outside Detroit. In 1960, Macomb voted for John
F. Kennedy by a larger margin than any suburban
county in the country. In 1984, it voted for Reagan
by a margin of 33 percentage points. The sense
was that if we could gure out what happened
in Macomb County, Democrats would go a long
way toward righting the ship, Rick Wiener, the
chairman of the Michigan Democratic Party at
the time, told me recently.
In one sense, what had happened was obvious.
The postwar suburbs in general had been a racial
fortress, their homogeneity enforced by a web of
government policies and unocial restrictions
making it dicult for nonwhites to own property
in them, and few more so than Detroits. The
white ex-Democrats whom Greenbergs team
interviewed, he later wrote, expressed a profound distaste for black Americans, a sentiment
that pervaded almost everything they thought
about government and politics. Blacks constituted the explanation for their vulnerability and
for almost everything that had gone wrong in
their lives; not being black was what constituted
being middle class.
Still, Greenberg noted, Macomb voters had
not defected en masse from the Democratic
Party until after years of worsening economic
circumstances and until they perceived the
Democrats as not only having taken up the banner of the urban poor and nonwhites but also
having abandoned the white middle class. These
voters wondered why they werent the central
drama of the Democratic Party, Greenberg
wrote. Greenberg suggested that Democrats
oer a kind of grand bargain to the white middleclass voters he called Reagan Democrats: The
Democrats would reinstate the middle class as

If the phrase everyday Americans tried to preserve a sense of common identity while acknowledging the fragmented economic realities of the
21st-century middle class, it also demonstrated
just how dicult that is to do. Consider the different experiences of two groups that sit mostly
within what the Democrats tax policies, at least,
dene as the middle class: The top 20 percent saw
its average real household income rise to $185,000
in 2013 from about $109,000 a year in 1967. The
middle 40 percent saw their real incomes rise,
too, but to only $68,000 from $52,000 the equivalent of a $348-a-year raise. The top 20 percent
is also more likely than the middle 40 percent
to believe that hard work gets you ahead in life.
Fissures have also deepened between the two
halves of the postwar middle class: between
college-educated, mostly white-collar workers
and high-school-educated, mostly blue-collar
workers. According to a Brookings study released
last year, men and women with bachelors
degrees earned a median of 7 percent and 16 percent more in 2013 than they did in 1990. Women
who either didnt attend college or attended but
didnt graduate made just 3 percent more up
to a meager $29,500 and those men made 13
percent less: a median of $40,700 a year, down
from $47,100 a year.
The aspirational idea of the middle class
spoke to the notion that even if Americans
were in various stages of prosperity, they were
all understood to be heading in the same general direction. But what happens when thats no
longer true? On one end of the middle class
spectrum is a dream inexorably receding from
view; on the other is a pair of socioeconomic
blinders obscuring the harsher economic realities of those further down the scale. The upper
middle class are surprised by the rise of Trump,
Reeves told me. The actual middle class are
surprised were surprised.

wo months ago, across an assembly-room table in
a factory in Jacksonville, Fla., President Barack
Obama was talking to me about the problem of
political capital. His eorts to rebuild the U.S.
economy from the 2008 nancial crisis were
being hit from left, right and center. And yet,
by his own assessment, those eorts were vastly underappreciated. I actually compare our
economic performance to how, historically,
countries that have wrenching nancial crises
perform, he said. By that measure, we probably
managed this better than any large economy on
Earth in modern history.
It was a notably grand claim, especially given
the tenor in which presidential candidates of
both parties had taken to criticizing the state of
the American economy Many are still barely
getting by, Hillary Clinton said, while Donald
Trump said that were a third-world nation.
Asked if he was frustrated by all the criticism,
Obama insisted that he wasnt, at least not personally. It has frustrated me only insofar as it
has shaped the political debate, he said. We
were moving so fast early on that we couldnt
take victory laps. We couldnt explain everything
we were doing. I mean, one day were saving the
banks; the next day were saving the auto industry; the next day were trying to see whether we
can have some impact on the housing market.
The result, he said, was that he lacked the
political capital to do more. As his presidency
nears its end, this has become an increasingly
common refrain from Obama, who, despite his
prodigious skills as an orator, has come to seem
more condent about his achievements than
about his ability to promote them. I mean, the
truth of the matter is that if we had been able to
more eectively communicate all the steps we

and national economy. Yet the factory, its technology and its patents are all owned by a foreign
corporation. Its French chief executive is almost
completely detached from the community here
in Jacksonville; he did not even attend Obamas
speech. And the factorys prots, to the extent
they ever come, may very well be sent abroad
instead of being reinvested here.
The factory visit might also tell a more complicated story about the presidency. It has always
been the case that voters credit or, more often,
blame the president for the nations economic performance. But it is also the case that the
president generally has considerably less sway
to move the economy than even he might like to
acknowledge. And as the economy continues to
disperse, that sway may be diminishing further.
A president has less power than ever, in either a
hard- power (legal/regulatory) or soft-power (cultural) sense, over American chief executives, let
alone over the chief executives of multinationals
based in France or China or other places where
many U.S. employers make their headquarters.
In the assembly room after the speech, Obama
acknowledged as much. When youre talking
about inversions, Obama said, referring to the
practice whereby American companies eectively move overseas, or youre talking about C.E.O.
perks or the gap between what the assembly-line
worker is making compared to what the C.E.O. is
making, all those things used to be constrained

gained more than a quarter of new federal jobs

30 percent by the early 1980s.

Worcester is filled with contradictory sights: crumbling infrastructure, decaying homes, yet fresh paint and siding
and other signs that someone is making some money, trying to create a good home. This is the tension in much
of the city collapse of an old way of working combined with a new, hard-to-discern promise that makes Worcester
so representative of the overall U.S. economy.

products to put in it. But early sitcoms engaged

were tied to work. If employment didnt dene
a character from episode to episode, it sustained
him (and it was usually a him). Some, like Jackie
Gleasons Brooklyn bus driver, Ralph Kramden,
the human caldron of The Honeymooners
(1955-56), had jobs. Some, like Dick Van Dykes
Rob Petrie, the klutzy TV writer on The Dick
Van Dyke Show (1961-66), had careers. Work,
or the lack of it, slotted you into a clear socioeconomic class. Kramdens dissatisfaction he
devoted a lot of time to hatching get-rich-quick
schemes became the tacit sadness of the The
Honeymooners. It was the rst rueful sitcom.
Petrie had a suburban-New York living room that
Kramden would have killed for.
By the 1960s, prime-time television was barely
two decades old, and it was already a little nostalgic and class-neutral, broadcasting shows safely
ensconced in either the suburbs or the distant
past. But the decades relentless turmoil (civil
rights, Vietnam, political assassinations, Watergate, feminism) demanded discourse. On TV, that
conversation happened in the living rooms of the
working class, middle class and working poor, on
All in the Family, Maude and Good Times,
each a creation of Norman Lear, each a demonstrable emblem of its characters social station.
Archie Bunker (All in the Family) was a white
foreman in Queens; Florida Evans (Good Times)
was a sporadically unemployed black housekeeper
in Chicagos Near North Side projects. Bunker's
armchair racism, sexism and all the rest wouldnt
seem to have anything to do with Evans's prideful despair. But the two shows dramatized their
opposing dissatisfaction. Class was the perch from
which to see who you were and were not, and from
which members of the television audience could
see who they were, too.
The discontent on those shows ran like a fuse
through the 1970s into the late 1980s. The end of
the Reagan era and start of the rst Bush administration coincided with the arrival of Married
. . . with Children and Roseanne, a pair
of long-running sitcoms about the white
lower-middle class and working poor the
Bundys and Conners, respectively. The rst was
more bitterly toxic (my mother got a whi of its
vulgarity and forbade it) than the second. But

This is a puzzle version of the classic pencil-andpaper game. Place 1 cruiser (3 grid cells, as shown),
2 destroyers (2 cells) and 3 submarines (1 cell) in the grid
horizontally and vertically so that no 2 vessels touch,
not even diagonally. The numbers at the side of the grid
tell you how many cells in the corresponding rows and
columns are occupied by vessels.

success. Ye
Yeah, I need to call him and let
him know that I wrote that.
But you dont
d
really talk explicitly
about sexi
sexism or gender in your career.
I was a tom
tomboy, so I was used to being
around a lot of boys. When
I got into the music business and hip-hop, I didnt really
give it muc
much attention. I really just kept
going and kept working. It was almost
like blinde
blinders. But now I do see it. I was
19, making sure I had baggy clothes on,
trying to blend
b
in, trying to make sure
I knew all my stu, to be sitting at a
table full o
of guys talking about hip-hop.
I wasnt co
consciously thinking: Cause Im
a woman, I have to know more. But I
wanted to know more. I wanted to sit at
the table w
with them.
You had a very short-lived gig on
American Idol. Four shows, is that
correct? It might have been three.
One reason
reaso you left is you said you
didnt like crushing the hopes of the
people who
w
auditioned. Were you
able to watch
wa
that show at all? I love
that show, but I wasnt a singer. I didnt
feel secure enough to be able to take an
opportunit
opportunity away from somebody.
But you re
released two albums yourself,
which give
gives you some credibility. Why
havent yo
you done any more? I can hear
some of th
the songs and be like, Oh, its
kind of goo
good. But I think any artist, even
probably a seasoned artist, probably
looks back on the rst couple of things
that they did
d and is like, Oh, I could
have done better than that. Its like looking at a hig
high-school photo.
One thing you did with your show was
that you o
oered a sympathetic ear to
people who
wh may not be getting sympathy in other
oth places. You gave a pretty
friendly in
interview to Chris Brown in
2009. I treated
tre
him like a human being
who made a mistake not a monster.
So lets sa
say Donald Trump wanted to
come on your
y
show. Yeesh. The dierence is tha
that Chris was still pretty much
a kid at tha
that point. With Trump, I think
he knows what
w
hes doing. Contrary to
what a lot of people say, he is not a dumb
guy. I keep hoping that maybe its a like
some big facade, and maybe he doesnt
believe some of the things hes saying,
hes just trying to get in the position, and
once hes there hell do the right thing.
You really do try to see the best in people.
I try! Thats a really hard one, though.
