I've been called a lot of things, but race baiting fairy is new. Do I get a tiara?
People were explaining the racist origins of a phrase and why it should be avoided even if people weren't using it in a racist way today, and she insisted that the phrase was fine.
I like Sue a lot and feel she brought a lot to the board, but she was wrong in that instance.
FWIW, I think she had a lot going on at home and work and probably felt it was a good time to take a step back. She's one of the people I hope returns.

Seriously, the race baiting comment is gross. And as many problems this board has had with microagressions recently, you would think people would maybe reconsider being flippant about racism. Just a thought.
I don't like Angela's comment. However, I am assuming that she was referring to the fact that Suesue now has the reputation of being driven off the board for being racist - and she isn't. She was ignorant about that particular phrase (a phrase that meany people admitted they were unaware of its origins) and she dug her heels in, incorrectly. She should have just learned from her mistakes and apologized and struck the phrase from her vocabulary altogether.
I mean, I for one am waiting with bated breath to hear what room she has cleaned out in her house and how many times she has scooped the kitty litter.
But for real, suesue was going through some rough stuff with her son, and I do think that was a part of why she left the board. The rest was really unfortunate, and I do hope she learned from it.

I've never seen anyone say they thought Sue Sue was racist. I've always seen the bolded as the explanation for why she left. In addition to the fact she had stuff going on at home.

You may be right. But usually when I see someone mention her, I think they are usually also bringing up the race comments. Which, is honestly understandable. But I don't like that that is what she rode out on. On the other hand... it was her doing and she decided to make those comments and not see the other side...
I don't give a shit why SueSue left, but the phrase "race baiting" shouldn't be fucking used to describe it unless you are also a dipshit moron who's voting for Trump or some shit. So no, you can go fuck off with that "well...she's right." No she is not.
as I went to edit my post. I now see how it could be read like that, but I meant it like "Well...yeah she's been an asshole before, but she's right here."
