I know I'm super late to the "party" and I don't want to reignite any fires but I wanna say a few things so we can squash the beef.
First, Cindi if you're reading this you've always been cool with me. You made
this awesome thread about FGs before SFV came out that I still have bookmarked and will always refer to people who are new to FGs. That said, it's not in your position or anyone else for the matter to tell other black people what they should and should not be offended with. A hip hop themed fried chicken joint in a rapidly gentrified neighborhood is fucked up and needs to be called out. Please don't position yourself as holier-than-thou sista.
Second, I know Duck acknowledged what he said was wrong but I wanna make something crystal clear to everyone old and new. Black-checking anyone, on Gaf of all places, and especially someone who we know is a black woman and who has talked about her own experiences in BCT before is fucked up. You cannot be on that shit in 2017. You simply can't do that regardless if you disagree with them. Also, I can't really get behind telling a black woman to take it to PMs when a black man basically black checked her outside of PMs. Duck, you're one of the OGs here and we love ya but you're bigger than that dude.
Finally, I really hate when posters paint BCT with a broad brush like we're a monolith and to see Cindi do that was really disappointing. This has happened many times before in BCT threads. An arguement starts in Gaming/OT, it gets brought over to BCT and it starts to escalate, then one poster says "BCT ain't shit!" and it all goes downhill from there. If you have beef with a certain poster please talk to them about it. And if it doesn't go your way then there are other alternatives to handling it. Dissing other members when things don't work out is not an alternative. No one in this thread should be dissing BCT like that when you know it's false. It's a blatant lie and it needs to stop immediately.
Now with all that said, Cindi you will always be welcome in BCT. And that goes for anyone who use to post in this thread before or would like to post here for the first time. We're not a monolith y'all, so please don't treat us like one.
