Raven stays on the trading block.
Annnnnd, we're done. You get a spot next to Raven as well if the papers are in order.
Good find. Will use.
Congrats yo. Now claim that.
So wait i'm close to Raven when you're trying to put another black person in a box based on a slight difference in opinion on the usage of a damn phrase that even I'm willing to just leave up to however the person feels?
I'd say that put's you closer to.....i'd say what you're trying to describe is a "coon" (another word I hate) than me if that's hat you're trying to say.
This is why talking with certain black people on race is so frustrating because it's seen as though there's only one way to think about things.
I'm not going to police the words I use just because you believe they're inflammatory or inappropriate.
The person I was describing was purposely using race as a vehicle to irritate people so she could get enjoyment out of it, call it whatever you want but the phrase I used was a perfect descriptor for it.
Hell even if I'm wrong that's nowhere close to what Raven Symone has done, and based on my actions in real life and online in regards to race discussions you even implying that is incredibly insulting, people don't need to conform to your views on everything otherwise you're going to be calling the vast majority of black Americans "coon", room for dissent is needed.
It's already in the bushes which is why you've been getting negative posts ever since you first showed up in here. The US conservative media has completely taken ownership of this term as a way to stop all discussions about ethnicity (especially in regards to black people) and using this term immediately lumps you into this group. Ex: Beyonce's new video Formation and her Super Bowl performance is being called "race baiting" for simply referencing police killings of black people. So if you want to be taken seriously, especially while talking to black people, avoid using anything said by conservatives on TV/online in the United States as talking points at all costs (Social Justice Warriors, race baiting, outrage culture, political correctness is destroying the country, anything that comes out of Stacey Dash's mouth, etc...).
Good luck DD.
I see what you're saying, and I agree to an extent, but really that's all optics to me and I'm generally not one to tip toe around my views because of my phrasing.
But considering I've said the same in reference to people using "social justice warrior" to insult people I don't really have any high ground on this, so I guess next time I make a post like that i'll pay closer attention as to what the words I use will trigger in people because generally I only do that in reference to slurs.
Thank you, now I can focus on changing that aspect of my speaking.
