My GAWD this has taken a left turn...
Bee acknowledge d her mistake and corrected it (thank you). I admit, when I saw it, I was a bit taken aback, especially because I knew Bee is a POC as well, but it’s all water under the bridge. She didn’t mean it in a derogatory way.
This forum, if anything, is good for entertainme nt at least 😭
racist language is ALWAYS deragatory. Noone ever says, ''oh I said the n-word but didn't mean it in a deragotory way''. Let us stop excusing racism. Now is definitely not the time, that time is gone
Nobody said the N word here so there’s no need to compare it to that. Not to “excuse racism” when nobody is racist here and it was an honest miscommunic
ation. I stated and apologized for using the phrase colored instead of African American. I just wasn’t thinking and was telling a personal experience in direct correlation to an event and prediction that unfolded. I already stated I had no ill intent, am also a minority, my POI is a minority, and should’ve better informed myself on the terminology
. For Christ sake I was at the protests a week ago so it was not meant to be derogatory. THIS HAS BEEN STATED AND CLEARED UP.
So can we all really let it go now.
And isnt professor calling someone a liar without proof multiple times, and defamation of character, also derogatory ?
