Philando Castile got shot 2 blocks from my fucking house, bitch. I donated to the drive to pay off St. Paul kids' lunch accounts in his name. He worked at the school I went to, and the cop who shot him worked with a good friend of mine which lead to a whole fucking bunch of uncomfortable but much needed discussions. I have had to have difficult conversations at my job about why ASKING ME WHERE IN AFRICA I AM FROM is not an appropriate question. I have listened to brilliant, creative women of color talk to me about the difficulties they face in making their mark in their job, in their school, because of the bullshit racism that faces them and it breaks my heart I can't fix it for them. Do not, DO NOT, tell me what I should be doing or feeling in MY OWN GODDAMN COMMUNITY.
Sincerely, good for you -- you are the change you want to see in your offline community. I don't believe that you're using the same histrionic methods, cursing, name-calling, gathering pitchforks, out there that you employ here. It just won't be effective and you know that. Let's keep it real.

farmvillelover you seem like a very nice person which is probably why you're so beloved on here. But the people you surround yourself sound terrible or at the very least incredibly tone deaf.
Wow. This is disappointing but not entirely surprising. FarmVille, you are way too old to not know better. Your fear of disappointing your “friends” is not cute, and going along to get along has been a problem for you for way too long.
Most of the time it’s just been silly but seriously stupid stuff. But when your friends are racist dickbags and you still smile and laugh and post their smiling faces on your social media, that’s pathetic.
were you the one in your video who started the stereotypical war cry? if no, why would you film the headdressed basic doing so and think it was okay? like, why weren't you ashamed of your friend(s) enough to at least hide it?
I had to go watch the video, that wasn't me doing a war cry. But that doesn't excuse anything.
You had to check to see if the video was the war cry you did or another one then? Am I understanding this correctly? What else was there to go back and check?

Did you really have to watch the video to know whether or not it was you doing the war cry?
I'm sitting here. Like, if you have to ask the question...
But really. The porque no disaster was an honest mistake (?) but this is a choice. You chose to be in the photo and you chose to put it on your IG. Gross.
Also, given the fact that you and your friends act like a bunch of vapid, shallow, self involved, old ass sorority girls, I find it hard to believe that you didn't know that people would be dressed like that. There wasn't a group text about what you were going to wear? YEAH OK.
Bc you're so invested, no there wasn't a group text. Not sure why you're feeling the need to make such personal attacks.
Your friends/neighborhood coordinate every Halloween costume. It is impossible to believe that this came out of nowhere with no warning. based on your posts alone, your friends would all think that stuff is “cute” and would totally show off their nonsense. .
Which obviously you must have also thought it was cute, to pose with and and then also post it. (This is what you did, yes?)
I mean, shit man. you can’t claim victim to the “meanies” of the Internet when you’re the one participating in that which is offensive (and has been discussed many times here.)

I need ham like water Like breath, like rain I need ham like mercy From Heaven's gate Sometimes ham salad or casserole or ham that’s free range, all natural I need ham

I know she already answered for herself, but I’m just going to insert my .02. There is no way that you and your codependent mama tribe didn’t coordinate this to a T. And ALLLLLL this shit IS personal. If you stop being defensive for like half a damn second, you might see that. Being a racist asshole at a party for funsies is personal to a LOT of people.
So, perhaps in he next recent purchase thread, you put down where you own your own shit here, as well as your association with people that do any of this.
Did you even say anything anyone about it? Or did you roll with it because it’s more important to fit in than stand up? Heads up, if you’re ok with your friends being racist, you probably are too.

I'm not on Instagram, and did not see this, but really hope that your child(ren?) grow up to understand that fitting in and staying silent to do so isn't important.

Six weeks ago, nata was about as gracious as could be about your friends’ trucker hats, and 05heel even said that were it anyone but you, there would be flames to high heaven.

Sure, you can’t really defend your actions here. What can you say about it? Nothing really. But I do hope you evaluate how much you need to fit in and be popular, rather than stand up and do what you know is right.

The realest shit I’ve seen here in a while.
Omg STFU. Stop inserting yourself when adults are talking.
I grew up rooting for a football team with a horrible racist name I won't write here. I remember people with their maroon and gold headdresses on the sidelines and "war cries". It was a long while before I understood how deeply offensive those things were, but as too-late it was that I learned, it was still way, way before now.
Omg STFU. Stop inserting yourself when adults are talking.
Grow up. I wasn’t making this about me and really? Block me if you don’t like me... back to the whole shitshow. I feel like FarmVille definitely needed the reassurance from the people in her community and i can’t understand why she would want to befriend these SHITTY RACIST PEOPLE. They’ll never change.
