No, I meant the old one that they linked here that was supposed to be the smoking gun.
I mean I know several of you are case closed and done but I read the thread through page 17 and am still like ?????
Yeah, that's the one I got halfway through. I ultimately decided that without knowing the people involved or reading years of posting history, I couldn't form any judgements based on that thread alone. I choose to take the posters who felt harassed at their word. Here's where I am. This, coupled with ripper repeatedly being gross and hurtful here, and the fact that she outright lied when asked if she was booby: it's more than enough to tell me about her.

I did. I followed the one from yesterday in real time and got about halfway through the old one where the blow-up with Ripper happened that you linked. No, I meant the old one that they linked here that was supposed to be the smoking gun.
I mean I know several of you are case closed and done but I read the thread through page 17 and am still like ?????
There are several black people at GBCN saying she is racist/harassing. Back people here saying she is racist. I am good taking them all at their words. No need to question it. For me personally one thing I am vowing to be better about is to listen to people when they say someone is being racist and not do this giving grace nonsense.

WAIT- Ripper did what to her friend’s email?!
I’m just fucking with you. We’re going in circles.
Ripper has been outed as the person she said she wasn’t. We said if Ripper is Booby, we don’t fuck with her no more.
So we don’t fuck with Ripper.

Ripper also used some really inappropriate language about disabilities in a drinking thread one night, and despite myself I offered to pm with her and update her on person first lingo. I hate that I gave her the benefit of assuming ignorance. I like to believe there is potential for improvement when people are ignorant of their words rather than willfully causing hurt. It's clear she has been willfully malicious in... many things.

I may regret this but... I am baffled by all the white ladies saying they should have known ripper was racist based on the watermelon avatar because no one could be oblivious to its implications when literally every white lady on here was oblivious enough to not mention it for weeks. Why is it so impossible she didn't realize? I did not know about the connection between watermelons and racism until relatively recently because that was not part of how racism expressed itself in my corner of the world. I am not saying this to say that the WOC on the board don't have a right to be pissed and call it intentional. I have no idea if it was intentional and your perception matters more than mine. I just don't get how people who didn't immediately identify it as racist are now on the war path saying that ripper had to know how racist it was. Like... remove the plank from your own eye first.

There were few who didn't know what the watermelon represented. Past that, it wasn't just a fucking watermelon, it was a rude ass characature of a black person depicted using exaggerated racist stereotypical features. She claimed she had googled fruit and thought it was funny but had zero idea of the meaning. Which we know know was more than most likely bullshit.

I hear what you are saying and there are a lot of people that did not witness that thread and would not have made a racist connection. I recall that thread and realized I had never really looked at rippers avatar. But, we are talking about someone with a racist history on GBCN and someone that has made some pretty bad , if not directly involving race, here. I mean, sure, maybe she had no idea that her avatar was racist, but knowing that booby was pretty well versed in micro aggressions as well as more overt racism at GBCN, this seems more like a duck. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, chances are pretty good, you got a duck.

I missed yesterday. Is ripper officially gone? If so what made her leave? If no one minds a quick rehash. Ripper is booby, a known GBCN racist. She targeted several black women on that board. Someone inappropriately posted a picture of her Instagram and others confirmed that was Booby. She likely won’t be back but who knows.Do we get to take bets on that part?

It's clear she has been willfully malicious in... many things. Her ableist bullshit is what first pinged my radar. There was a lot of it (rain man, comments about intelligence, calling people crazy if they disagreed with her). But I’ve never pretended to like her and I’m sure people assumed she was just BEC to me. Which is fine, but there was a reason behind it, even if it wasn’t a personal one for others here. 🤷🏻♀️

And of course she then threw her hands up in the air and cried “who me” when she got pushback.

Its been said about other posters and yet they are defended and held close. I don't have a problem calling a bitch what she is when I see it. I was just asking because that thread was given as the example.

No, what I have said all along is that if someone has a history of being a certain way then it should be easy to link it and see it. I can link to you the avatar talk, plantation thread, the aggressive talk. I mean there is nothing that really needs to be said no? Her spot was blown as booby - check
