At this point, I’m not about to throw a fit either but I’m also not about to be your friend so no, “My good sis becky” cannot wear braids around me right now BECAUSE clearly ya’ll still don’t get it. You can appreciate culture all you want but appreciation comes with knowing the history behind something and respecting it and if someone from that culture finds it a problem you are supposed to be empathetic to their feelings and respond and act accordingly. Danielle aka bhad bhabie along with many other famous white women have yet to try to understand why people are responding the way they are, they have yet to take any kind of initiative to understand where black people are coming from, they immediately get defensive and put down other black women. These are the same women who are nowhere to be found when little black girls and boys are getting kicked out of school for their hair or when certain corporations will not hire you or tell you to change your hair for a job. But these ya’ll friends…okay
it’s a rant, click to read if you want but scroll past bc I’m just pissed
looks like a hate crime to me. Also looks like a civil violation of the NYS Executive Law and NYC Human Rights Law. If the woman can be identified I suggest that a lawsuit and taking money off a racist is a very good way to express displeasure.
he can also sue the NYPD for misconduct by law they were suppose to deal with the situation mostly make a report of the incident which was actually a crime, they didn’t and threatened the brother (Misconduct)
i was listening to the news today and it was like “protests in Iran because gas prices have increased by 50%” and i was honestly shocked. no, not because of the amount it was raised by, but because it was absolute bullshit.
they raised prices by 200%, and i suggest the news broadcasting company learns what the actual news is before reporting it like Iranians are absolute savages destroying the country over a 50% increase instead of people protesting a 200% increase.
Not to be Frustrated and Bitter on Main, but –
Me: Hey you’re being racist, can you stop?
White Person: WHAT
White Person: WHY ARE YOU SAYING THIS
Me: I –
White Person: WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING ME
White Person: YOU NEED HELP. YOU NEED THERAPY. I’M NOT TALKING TO YOU UNTIL YOU DO.
White Person: I’M DISSAPOINTED IN YOU. YOU NEED TO GET OVER RACISM.
Me: So I’m really hurt when you’re being racist, could you not be –
White Person: WHATS WRONG WITH YOU
White Person: WWRRRAAAAARRGHHHGHGHHGHH [Brings out a flaming sword and starts waving it around] THE END TIMES ARE NIGH [slashes sword at me] I MUST PURIFY YOU, BEGONE FOUL BEING
ME: pls stop the sword bit
White Person: YOU NEED TO FORGIVE PEOPLE AND LET GO OF ANGER, THAT’S WHAT IS STOPPING YOU FROM HAPPINESS [continues slashing sword at me]
Me: I mean it could be the sword too.
White Person: YYAAAAAAARRGGH!
Me: oh help why does this happen every time, it’s like they’re following a script
Bonus:
Other White People: So, what did you do to provoke White Person into chasing you with a flaming sword?
Me: I refuse to even engage in this conversation right now
Follow up:
White Person: Oh hi, so what do you think of this book?
Me: you threw a flaming sword at me, so I trust you about as far as I can throw you.
White Person: [Who knows what they would do if this was actually pointed out to them. Probably yell some more.]
The frustrating thing about white people and men is their tendency to try false equivalencies.
They treat black people and nonblack people of color and women like shit and historically kept them from doing everything, so those groups deciding to create spaces away from them MUST be the exact same thing.
