So, @Boogey posts a racist meme, I call her on it, not her personally, & our brave warrior blocks me. Sorry, but this is typical of wannabe free-speech supporters! I did not report her for the meme, I simply stated that I didn't think it was funny & that it was racist. Anyone who has been on this site or in this group knows that I'm not a snowflake or easily offended. I guess it comes down to the, "If you can't take the heat..." statement! I've never blocked anyone, tho quite a few have blocked me, & usually because they couldn't defend their positions! I'm sorry she did so, she's posted some funny as hell stuff. I called her on one & she runs!
I'm puzzled that when someone posts something that rings racist they can't apologize and remove it themselves. I guess racist or really offensive in any way.
You know maybe they could delete the post and say "Gee I didn't think it was that bad - but I never meant to be a racist.". (unless of course they meant to be a racist). They can even leave the original post up and put up a different photo/meme - and say "sorry didn't realize how that last one would hit people - so I removed it".
But hey I just followed a friend or two in here - I'm not even a member.
Maybe she actually believes that crap. I really don't know.
But even on the internet it's possible to say "Hey I was wrong".
She is a Filipino. She is not Afro-American.
Incidentally she despises the Kennedy's because Ted Kennedy called her the N word when she approached him as a kid for an autograph.
So she was saying..this somewhat muddies the water a little. But there you are...?
@Hitchens I find that story very hard to believe.
I concur....
I had similar problems with her months ago about some sexist crap she posted. This is par for the course with her. She is a big part of the reason I left the memers for a while.
#Me too.
P.S. Since she's blocked me, she may not see this. I will stand up for what I say or post, or apologize if I did go too far or was wrong. If anyone wants to pass this along to her, feel free! I'm willing to have the conversation! Is she willing to defend that post with something more than "If I can't offend someone I may as well not post"? (& that surely wasn't the point!)
Oooh. A comment from someone who has blocked me.
I wonder what it says.
Okay, not really.
Hey, watch your tone or I'll blank you, wait I mean, bluck you, okay, we're getting closer...
