Racism & Sexism (etc) discussion

Yup sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder

Wrong colour for your narrative

How?

Not really anyone can have a chip on their shoulder, or is specifically race based that notion, clearly racist if so

Inference of your racism because of your views :man_facepalming:t5:

And was it not entirely obvious what the answer was when right near the start the woman said “I dont know [where in Africa my family are from], they didn’t leave any records”

Why would you keep trying to find out where in Africa when the question has literally been very clearly answered.

She then goes on to ask here when she first came here, despite seconds before being told that the woman was born in this country.

It’s a short exchange, yet there are two instances of her flat out not listening to the valid answers she’s been given to her questions, yet some of you are here still trying to ascribe nothing but the best of intentions to her. If you are interested in someone you dont literally disregard the answers they give you to your questions multiple times in a very short exchange.

There will be a point all this crap will make people afraid to talk to black people. There was a report already saying that school kids are less likely to disagree with they black counter parts out of fear of backlash. The is the crap that is being cultivated in society at the moment. That woman is pathetic this whole situation is just pathetic attempt to mar the royal institution as racist. And all you pricks have a hard on for your racism and blacks people only matter when it fits your narrative

Nobody mars them, they do a good job of it themselves.

And you and your brother only ever seem to perceive things as racism when it’s a non black person on this forum disagreeing with your stance on racism. Anything else seems fair game though. Almost like you use accusations and implications of racism cynically when it suits you.

Agree with this, I don’t think she’s 100% innocent but I think it’s more a silly old rich woman just wanting the answer she’s looking for rather than anything racist.

The whole conversation just reads awkward from both sides and personally I would’ve just given up asking even if I felt like the answer wasn’t the detail I was looking for.

Clearly ngozi was either not willing to answer or wanting to make a point of her being born here, so I would’ve just read the scene and thought fine let’s leave it. The old hag wasn’t smart enough to do that but she’d probably had a glass of Chardonnay and thought she was on top of the world.

I’ve never called anyone racist that disagrees with me lol that’s a straight lie.

Your bullshit stances when it comes to racism is nonsense, it’s either poor black person we should do better, or let’s help this poor blacks because they can’t do anything.

Someone said Nzonzi? Is it Ngozi?

Either way, the interrogation was a bit lame.

I clearly said, that I agreed what she had said was ignorant and that she went full Alan partridge but I certainly didn’t say that she had nothing but the best of intentions to her.

I know the poll you made about: “Have you ever moved a strangers hair to see a name badge,” was not to be taken too seriously but it would be interesting to know how many people on here would be offended and made to feel uncomfortable, if an 83 old woman moved their hair to see a name badge.

The thing is that I say you guys racist because the way you guys look down on black people is mind boggling. The bigotry of low expectations on the black community is maddening. What you would deem wrong or not worth talking about for whites is a total different conversation for blacks. If a white woman went to a function and a black w woman moved her hair to see her name. No one would bat an eyelid or if the old black lady asked her where she was from again nothing would be said. Why is not the same for black people? Are black people so insecure about they position in life that we need positive reinforcement all the time? Is she ashamed of being African decent? Is being English superior to being Nigerian?

If the old white lady had simply asked her where she is from I wouldn’t have said anything.

The woman apparently represents a charity for African and Carribbean women and was wearing some sort of traditional African clothing, I think it’s perfectly understandable within that context to enquire about the person’s African heritage. I’d say it’s pretty much a relevant question, in fact.

As I think my posts make it very clear, I only said the questioning became rude and tactless after a certain point, that point being when she was given a clear answer.
