Whoa guys what the hell?
I checked in quickly yesterday but have been buried with work and traveling for work. I have kept up on most things on MMM but haven't been on this week.

I haven't been on and didn't realize something had happened until today's random thread so I will go back and read. Again. I'm sorry skwcm80. I really consider you a friend and I'm so sorry you have to deal with this shit.
Eta: I just went back to look for where the post was and it was before I posted in the thread so it must've been there when I posted. I should've read all of the responses before posting. I'm sorry.
I'm embarrassed and ashamed that I read her post and didn't register what was there. That is quite obviously my privilege and that's horrible. I'm sorry for being an ass.
I saw it, but like I said in the other post, I think I'm just so used to just visually skipping and mentally blocking offensive words, I did the same with this one. I cringed and thought, "I hate that word and wish no one would use it."
Right right sure. You cringed but you didn't call her out because it was Tamb. Or you mentally skipped it? Those are two different things! Get your lies straight.
You know who doesn't have that luxury and who feels gut punched seeing that word? One guess and it's not cringing white women.
There are no lies to get straight. This had nothing to do with Tamb and I never claimed it did.
Yes, I try to skip and ignore offensive words. Obviously, this one is more offensive, so it had an effect on me. However, I recognize it was my privilege that allowed me to still treat it as just another offensive word and to move on. I'm ashamed of myself for allowing myself to treat it that way.
