@Teresa from Concord Oh, please. It was an open handed slap. He didn’t beat the shit out of the guy. Hand wringing about “community violence” is being way over-dramatic. He also apologised profusely, which is a damn sight more gracious than I would have been in his shoes.
I have no issue with what he did and I won’t feel shamed for it, cheers.
(I’m also idly wondering how many of the people out there clutching their pearls about this are okay with people spanking children, because I bet it’s not zero.)
@lengmp Making fun of Black women’s hair, in particular a Black woman who has spoken about her medical condition and how it has impacted her hair and her self esteem is pretty racist, mate.
You know what, there’s always been a subtle undercurrent of racism in this supposedly liberal, welcoming community, and we have driven away most (if not all?) of the Black people who used to hang out here as a result. It’s easy to ignore it or explain it away, but I’m done. I don’t want to be around this bullshit anymore.
@Dee I was just riffing on the Batman slap meme, no ill intent intended. I've deleted the post.
I do take issue with being called a racist, though. For ex, we shared our mutual enjoyment of We Are Lady Parts in What are you binging right now; I also mentioned watching Reservation Dogs in there, and probably other non male/pale/stale shows I've enjoyed. I'm comfortable the posts I've made on this board show I may make jokes which don't work occasionally but no, I'm not a racist.
