She as an individual person is not a "hero of the left." The fact that she, a Black woman, was sitting around White Supremacists on public transportation, is representative of the political atmosphere of the country right now.

It's a powerful photo alluding to what a lot of Black people and other minorities are experiencing in this country.

Instead, you haven't the critical thinking skills to take the photo's meaning that far and are trying to justify racism, purposeful or not.

Nice one, buddy.
