I'm waiting for the response and clarification to the "this happens too much here" because I feel this is information I'm for sure needing right now. Sorry but more than a couple times is too much. How about that time that me and Cher had said like the same thing and it was blantanly said that my posts are read aggressively and hers were not. I have no idea what instance you're talking about, but isnt it possible that it's just a person thing and not a race thing? |

I shall change topics:
I always have to sit in the middle seat when I travel with my father and it is rude AF how both window and aisle seat seem to think they own both arm rests on either side. I am here, with my elbows glued to my sides and people still touching me and we haven't even taken off yet. 😒😠😤
Airplane seats need a redesign.

It happens often in real life and it happens here too. I don't believe it's done purposefully but it is done. Like, confrontational? Really? You feel it happens here to POC in an uneven amount when compared to white people? I'm not arguing I'm genuinely interested in your take. I feel this place is nothing if not an equal opportunity arguing ground with everyone. Yes, let's take GM for example. She comes at people ALL THE TIME, but y'all shrug it off "Oh that's just GM being GM". PB says "No it's not" and she's confrontational. |

So far old Navy and target had shorties only at my local store. I don't buy it. But did you actually have M try them on? Because the ON shorties are exactly what I just bought for E and they're not bootie shorts. they are too short for us in life and for school so no we didn't try on shorties. |

Just to add to shorts opinions, I wish boys shorts were shorter. I don't need my 4 year old wearing shorts that dip below his knees.

I can see that point, but I don't really agree that it doesn't get said to other people. But, this isn't about me so I'll zip it. |

I think it's perfectly acceptable to turn down a wedding invite if the wedding falls on my kids birthday. I waited a long time for him and I'm not missing it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I felt this way about my birthday and my friend's baby shower. Her mom had her shower (complete with a stripper 🙄) on my 30th birthday. I didn't go. I offered to go in the morning to drop off a gift but she never told me where it was going to be. So nope. It was my birthday, I was spending it with MH. At a baby shower? WTF |

Okay well I'm going to just keep it moving. And maybe refrain from posting Srs bdns while on mobile. Or get some glasses for avatar viewing. Also all the new screen names and avatars basically have me feeling like John Travolta here daily. I admit I need reading glasses and I haven't purchased them, but I'm always on mobile and I legit couldn't see that lonefox's avatar was a dark skinned emoji. After you pointed it out, I went back and looked closely and I could tell, but I wouldn't have known from normal reading. Not defending or avoiding the conversation, just stating my personal reference. |

I usually don't get involved in shenanigans around here but this has got to be the most passive aggressive, need to have the last word,response ever. Just say nothing if you don't need to add anything else to the conversation. So she's not allowed to respond? Why is pbfox being singled out when the back and forth was pretty much the same for both of them? I usually stay out of the arguments that don't involve me here as well, but I'm feeling a way about the responses toward PB. is PBfox?? Squee!!! Hi!! |

To clarify, because I don't want to be an asshole, I can see how it's an offensive term for anyone and I will be more aware of it.
