@ctg30 if you think thisbitch was the victim in that situation then i don't even know what to say Or her. She made that post very much about the white women involved and how they can't be racist because they're such nice people. Girl. Read this thread. JFC.

But they are two different robberies? I can't keep up in my sleep-deprived state. Gretchen was making fun of Ripper. She didn't actually witness a bank robbery. 😂 Thank you! This is me every time I come into this thread:

@ctg30 if you think thisbitch was the victim in that situation then i don't even know what to say I missed the meat thread so I don’t know what initially sparked shit there. All I saw was an apology attempt / subsequent flaming. I am going by her history of not coming off as a malicious scumbag. Is the Meat thread / original stuff still there? Thisbitch has deactivated, so there is some stuff missing, but enough should be quoted to get the gist. ETA: I'm wrong. Her content is still there. Go read it.

Hi. No, not ghosting. I had kid sports stuff last night and MH is away. And quite frankly, I wanted to gather my thoughts before responding again. I was tagged into a thread in which the initial premise had been about posters who were suspected trolls but apparently the conversation has shifted and I see that ThisBitch was apparently called out for something that happened in a Meat Washing thread, which I never read. I see she had then attempted to apologize and was flamed to the point of deactivation. Now the conversation in here shifts to comparing her treatment after whatever transpired to mine after my comments in the UO thread a few weeks back. This is some revisionist history if I've ever seen it.

Why are we running pr for a Mexican gang? But the driver said that. Not ripper. Or did I read wrong. I mean I’m not Going to pull up next to a car jacker and ask what set he’s repping, what gang he’s in. I need all credentials when I’m being carjacked.

This whole time I took banditos to mean criminals. So I didn’t doubt that it happened.

Apologized and then flamed to the point of deactivation - you're making it sound like she's a victim.
No. Her very recent thread "I'm here" is the very opposite of an apology.

Thank you for the correction! Wires getting crossed with all the GBCHIH happening. So absolutely nothing is missing and @ctg30 should definitely go read it. Then come back and read this thread.

It does seem like she has read enough and doesn’t get it. I am in full agreement with this. Yup. I don't know how you could read any of this and come back with "but I've posted here for so long" or "TB isn't malicious so she can't be racist" but... here we are. 🤦♀️

I'm fully on board with what you're saying. I was speaking to the fact that somehow we were saying it COULD NOT be the bandidos when that's what the local dude even said. yes, it is very unbelievable that a Mexican man would use the Spanish for bandits while witnessing a car jacking.

@ctg30 you’re missing an important distinction. The parallel issue with you and tb is that you said something problematic and the large majority of this board let it slide and didn’t ever address it. So it not being addressed for days:weeks is actually the issue that was brought up (in addition to what you said.) What you originally said about the hair thread, essentially, was I wasn’t looking at this through the lens of race and why do you have to bring race into it. 🍍 🍊 Fineapple 🍍 🍊 and others quickly pointed out the privilege of that POV. It kind of sounds like your doing the same thing again. Maybe sit with that? And you probably want to carefully read the thisbitch stuff. If you think she’s not in the wrong, then we probably don’t have enough common ground to work from.

I’ve seen a couple people say that so I went and checked yesterday and just wanted to clarify.

@ctg30, so you admit that you didn’t read the very offensive things that were said by thisbitch in the meat washing thread, yet you continue to paint her as the victim in all of this. That says something.
Anyway, you are really bending over backwards to treat you and TB as the wronged ones and I’m not here for it. I doubt many others will be either.

Hi. No, not ghosting. I had kid sports stuff last night and MH is away. And quite frankly, I wanted to gather my thoughts before responding again. I was tagged into a thread in which the initial premise had been about posters who were suspected trolls but apparently the conversation has shifted and I see that ThisBitch was apparently called out for something that happened in a Meat Washing thread, which I never read. I see she had then attempted to apologize and was flamed to the point of deactivation. Now the conversation in here shifts to comparing her treatment after whatever transpired to mine after my comments in the UO thread a few weeks back. If there was the elephant in the room, why is it that no one addressed this with me directly until this point? There was not one single p.m. or other conversation happening. So if this is something people wish to rehash with me specifically, the timing and the premise of it had me immediately like wtf is going on in here?? Especially after seeing what went down with this bitch. What I meant by saying here we go with the racist gauntlet is that it seems like posters who otherwise have no history of malicious intent are put through the ringer and then labeled a racist and chewed up and spit out. In some cases it appears to be accurate such as whoever was targeting someone IRL at their workplace and sending offensive items. In all the years I have posted with this bitch, I have never gotten a malicious intent from her and I feel like The board was thirsty for more drama and pulling me back in here. I am all for constructive conversation but this was not the way to initiate it. I’ve been on this board for over 8 years - I have always put it under the same screen name and never had an AE and I consider myself to be a pretty drama free person here. What is also kind of interesting to me is that people I don’t normally interact with in 99% of the other threads here are the first in line when it comes to commenting in this thread and in the UO thread earlier in the month. It’s funny who seems thirsty for drama. I just want to add that no shit, WOC are not here to literally teach a course on how not to be a dick white person but that we learn from each other through our general interactions on this board / take on situations & see how people perceive the same thing differently. It IS up to us to open our own eyes to that and change behavior accordingly. If there is to be constructive conversation happening here, perhaps it needs to occur outside of a thread where people have already deactivated and the first half of it has basically been riddled with drama coming from other boards and talking about people who are suspected to be trolls. I’ve watched people apologize / post honestly and be met with mocking and gifs so what do we suggest, guys? I’m not ghosting. Work has been nuts & ive got plans tonight after work. Will read when I can. I think you are giving too much credit to lack of malicious intent. I don't think that you or thibitch are bad, malicious people. But I think your jumping to defensive mode is clouding your ability to see that you can have racial biases or not understand why certain things are problematic (I mean I think applies to A LOT of us) or even be racist without malicious intent. Racism is so ingrained in all of us. The "but I'm not racist, I'm not a bad person" narrative is preventing you from being open to seeing that and working on fixing it. So you will go on and live your non-racist life for the most part, but will slip up every now and then and continue to hurt people and nothing will change. The fact that no one really hashed it out with you prior to this was a big part of the conversation that happened here. That many of us are willing to let things slide, because it's hard to have these conversations with people we like.

Who are these people that are able to resist opening threads titled "I'm here"? I see something like that and I'm opening it.
How do you not read that?

I am speaking for myself here on this one - for me
@ctg30 came back and addressed the situation and I thought apologized at the time (whether it was good enough or not is subjective). I alluded to that in the context of different people get different treatment. I said multiple times not saying these people need to be dragged or not. This is why for me I didn't tag anyone. My point was not about revisiting but about the different treatment.
Some have been honest and said well I don't like this person whereas I like this one. So that ended it for me.
I feel like @ctg30 makes some valid points. I do feel there are some people who want to appear down or whatever and appear out for blood.
I feel her statement "that every self congratulatory self proclaimed woke AF white woman here should remember we all have stuff to learn" is true.
We are not going to solve racism here. So I don't know what some people are looking for or what their end game is? It does appear as though some want to keep up the mess.
Ultimately people will come to their own conclusion (or I would hope) and interact how and with who they want to.

Like I said - the language sounded off to me. But that’s probably because Bandidos are a thing here and that’s where my mind went.
I’m still not totally sold, but I’m also not losing any sleep over it. I can drop it
