I clearly missed what precipitated this but Jesus God in heaven what the hell?
whattheheck wasn't content that her (wrong) outrage about Gerber life insurance wasn't getting enough attention and created a new post about it, then doubled down when called out by Connie. Racists got mad that a woman of color dared call out a white woman. One sent a vile PM, and Greyflora, who is pathetic and can't stay away, started a third thread on the Gerber subject to put the woman of color in her place, but Pixy merged it with another thread.

Thank you for the summary, I missed the original threads. An argument over life insurance caused someone to throw a racial slur and death threat at connie? Totally reasonable, you shit bag racist. Of course, racists don't need an excuse except for being terrified of and hating people who aren't white.
I’m just floored that anyone goes out of their way to be cruel. I know that sounds terribly naive, but i can’t comprehend how broken and hateful a person has to be go for the jugular over, well anything, but particularly a disagreement over life insurance. It’s subhuman.

I really lack the words to say how fucked up that PM and thread was. I wish I could say I’m surprised but obviously that’s not the world we live in today. I am so, so sorry that you were the recipient of those despicable words and threats Connie. I don’t blame you for leaving, Im just sad to see you leave. You will be missed.
I got busy at work and never responded to Connie when she quoted me.
I wanted to tell you, connie0000, I'm sorry for my part. You were absolutely right that I blindly believed what was posted about the insurance. I'm a fucking dumbass.
And to everything else, I hope you already know who it is at this point. I'm so sorry that you defending YOUR CHILD was taken as an opportunity to be so hateful and "knock you down a few pegs". Not surprised, but I'm really sorry.

Oh my good god, WTF! I know we didn't have much interaction Connie, but I am so sorry anyone felt it was their right to say such vile, disgusting, racist things to you.
