Heidi A. says:
Actually, people, I apologized for all that and more in PRIVATE to ghettophabulous grace, yet while this was all happening, she still felt the need to, as AJ J. says, use me as a jumping point for her racial tirade by taking it public. So there I am resolving shit as it should be, mano a mano, as it were, and I get called out as whitey white ignorant oppressor anyway. And well, there's nothing I can do about that, cuz I'm a "WP."
So you know what?
Now I'M fucking offended. The response should fit the crime, people. Had I come on here calling everybody figga, yes, I would've deserved all this. But innocently referring to my boyfriend as figga, who finds it hilarious, once or twice does not deserve all this hate.
Other things that pissed me off:
-being told that a word I made up in silliness is derogatory, with "500 words of oppression behind it"...um, YOU put all that on the word, not I
-being told my boyfriend is just "too stupid" to get that I'm insulting him
We're both totally unfucking PC because we both see the stupidity in taking offense over every little thing and know that people give words power. If I say something like "figga" or call myself "betty cracker" I'm basically mocking racism. Racism is fucking wack, and guess what, as part of an interracial couple I've experienced discrimination too. Case in point: me and my figga are in a lovely beach town, chilling in front of our B&B. Some older white couple is sitting there. One of them makes a comment ouf of the fucking blue to Glenn about eating dogs. We both were in shock and basically felt like the wind had been knocked out of us. Later I was so mad, I wanted to smash his fucking racist redneck fat face in....
If you see me with my friends, you would see every color of the rainbow. You would also see a bunch of snarky, un-PC aholes calling each other names that would probably bring this crew to our front doors with burning crosses.
It works both ways, people. I meant no harm, continue to mean no harm, but am fucking sick of being harmed by a bunch of bandwagon jumpers.
I am beginning to see why all the intelligent people leave these threads.
