So, are we talking about that MMM thread..

[papie]

Maybe I'm too tired. I couldn't read without getting sleepy so I still have no idea what it is about that thread that we should be talking about.

But like Rex said, they are two separate things. Her valid points about race and being a woman of color in America are getting lost in all the other stuff, and it's hard to tease those points out when they're in the middle of a wall of rambling text.

This is my issue.  I feel like there are too many tangents and while I think she has a lot of valid points, they get lost in some peculiar rambling.  

I don't often participate in threads about race, mainly because I know enough to know I can and would put my foot in it somehow; but I appreciate that they happen and always read them.

How odd.


She is a bit braggy as of recent.


But hey, aren't we all.

What? Who?!

She said when people cross her IRL, she pulls strings and has them fired, prosecuted or jailed. 

"When someone gets crazy or pisses me off, IRL,  and I lose my temper, I  call in a few favors, and the crazy person's ass winds up getting fired, prosecuted, or put in jail."

Re the thread.

I've said pretty much all I want to say.

It forced me to wave a Swiss flag!

I'm not getting involved any further.

What page is this on? I need to see if it's being taken out of context here, you know, as we do sometimes.

Page 14, sixth post down.

Yeah, go check out tiny's abs. How come we aren't calling her certifiable?

Oh no, I think tinybride is certifiable. Just to be clear. But that has nothing to do with Kirkette. 


LOL.

I'm not outgoing or important enough to attract sycophants so I must just surround myself with people with equally bad taste.  I am a civil servant so it's not entirely surprising.  Comfortable though! Plus you have to buy LLR clothes in this rapid fire Facebook event so it feels like a game.

Thank you for enumerating even more reasons why Lula Roe is ridiculous.

However.  Whenever race is brought up in a Kirkette thread, people are all "Oh welllll Kirkette's crazy.  Pfft."  And then nothing gets talked about.  I'm not thrilled that people are more intent on proving how "crazy" Kirkette is than talking about the extremely valid and reasonable issues that she or other POCs who happen to be in the thread are bringing up.

This doesn't mean I'mma cut you, though, so you don't have to be afraid.  LOL.

Please show me another thread in which anything similar to this has happened.  Where Kirkette was discussing anything to do with race, and people busted out with "you're crazy, NOT LISTENING."

I don't have links, but I've seen it a few times lately.

I haven't been around much but I did see Kirkette's "kids shouldn't use bathrooms" post. Which was loony and seemed out of line with what I remember about her. So when I later saw people saying that she was crazy in this thread or that on another board I followed up and read some of those threads. At least twice the example of "crazy Kirkette" was a discussion on race where no one in the thread seemed to think Kirkette was out of line, but yet it was being cited on ML as an example of how she is off her rocker. So while I can't give you a link (I'm not that invested) I've been seeing some of what KOKO has. Yes, I've also seen Kirkette get a little zealous. I haven't been reading much so I may also have missed a ton (for example, I have only read a smidge of the MMM thread).

But at least some of the "Kirkette is so crazy" references I have followed were to discussions about race and the accusation rang false for me.

It's hard to respond to this without knowing what you're talking about, thread-wise.  And if I'm wrong, then I'm wrong.  But I haven't seen this at all.

I know. no links makes it pretty much meaningless.

I can't imagine typing all that out. My fingers hurt just reading it.

I do recall you posting a picture of diabetic socks that you mistakenly purchased but then wore to work like it was normal. 

Soooo I'm gonna need to see a pic of the dress.

LOL. Apparently those were boot tights and I wore them sans boots. I thought it was like a new thing. Instead I locked myself in my office all day.

This is the LLR dress I posted in the other thread.

Do you notice a pattern among these three posters?

I'll wait.

I give up. what. 

This board consists of .004% black women and you just called three of them scary. 

I've been conducting informal polls today--maybe I'll make one asking the black women on GBCN what they think of you.  I think there might be a consensus.

And the supporters are all stating they didn't read the WOT, but it must be related and on topic...

@booby  is equal-opportunity when it comes to callouts.

Let's not be ridiculous here.

At the risk of angering the 0.004%, I will stand by this.

Scary is not the same as crazy.  Keep it moving.

Y'all know I'm vocal about racism and I spoke up in that thread.

I'm not touching anything else. No sir.
