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. Okay, but how many of y’all are searching “Watermelon with news boy hat and big lips” on Google?

piratecatI wasn't extending grace because she's Indian. I extended grace because the case against her wasn't strong enough, and like McBenny said, I'd do that for any one of you. This describes where I have been with her for the last however many months. I heard scuttlebutt and I had my own suspicions that she was not some harmless poster from GBCN. I didn’t see the watermelon and I didn’t know he details of what went down on GBCN. But in my gut I felt like she wasn’t here because she really wanted to be a friend. However, I had no proof and I also wanted to extend her some grace on the off chance she was being genuine about wanting to be part of this community.

I feel like some of you were Men in Black’d memory erased the way some of this is being recapped. I mean, not for nothing, I tend to forget why I hate people. Just this afternoon dc2london had to remind me why I hate this lady in our neighborhood. I couldn’t remember exactly what what she had done to me and then DC (you know, maybe the nicest poster here) reminded me what she said and I was like OH YEAH FUCK HER.

I’ve now learned dazedandconfused was a jackass racist in addition to her other jackass traits. I’m at peace with now. Bye, Felicia. So, replace dazedandconfused with ripper, and my page one post sums up where I have landed nicely.

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. This was complete ignorance on my part. I called someone rainman not knowing (or realizing) that the character had a disability. I just thought he was an eccentric genius. Obviously never seen the movie. I did thank you for pointing it out and I still cringe at that blunder.

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. I did not target several black women. That is clearly the legacy (is that the word?) but not the truth.

So you had no idea that Rainman was about an man with Autism because you have never heard about one of the movies most often used to discuss Autism and you did not know the racist caricature on the watermelon was a problem. I think you are a shit stirrer for sure, I don't know if you are actually a racist and ableist but you have had too many "whoops" moments you did not know were offensive to be accidents.

I just remembered when ripper was obsessed with scoutboo and would type a wall of tags of her screen name in the drinking threads. That was...something.
