I wouldn't write it out. I wouldn't say it. I don't think that Tamb would call someone that word. I think she deserves another chance. You can flame me. She has a really good heart and is the type to change.

m FUCK NO!
Okay, so in the world, the way to deal with something like this, is write her off. Someone who will change. Shut her out. Okay. I'm done with this place. I'd prefer to engage with people who believe in people.

So typing it out is okay, saying it is okay, but actually CALLING someone that word is where the line is drawn?
No. This is not defensible. We can't fucking put up with this if we want to be an inclusive board.
Did you once post your grandma said the n-word (or something similar) and because you didn't think she knew what it meant or because she was old it wasn't racist?

She's been talked to the last fucking week, and her great contribution in learning is to type out the n-word!

Scotty. Really? You canNOT fucking be serious with this.
Eta- Actually, you know what? Never mind. Bye Scotty.

See, all you have to do is use that word once and you're a racist. And she did it. If you give someone like that a chance, it just allows them to hide their racist behaviour a bit better next time.
No. There should be no second chance when it comes to racism.
Lol. For the record, Scotty once went out of her way to check my tone when I told her that I didn't want to discuss the use of the N-word with her. So, yeah. Not the best person to have on your side in this matter.

No, this is not OK and something to just say "Give her a second chance. She's nice and doesn't mean it."
I do not really ever visit MMM but I did spend the last couple days reading the racism threads over there once someone brought it up here. She was in those threads and the conversation has been going on for a while. And then she still did this.
She's been talked to the last fucking week year, and her great contribution in learning is to type out the n-word!
FTFY. Let's not pretend this last week is the first time anyone has told Tamb that she needed to evaluate herself when it comes to issues of race. She should have started her "listening and learning" when the Stellas shit went down, then again when the Booby shit went down.

scottyderp, you seem so sure that she will change, but she hasn't changed yet. This isn't some misinterpreted comment. This isn't the first time her behavior has been called into question. I get that this is a place for Tamb to vent, but why does she get a safe space and WOC don't?

Look. I am all for change, evolutuon and growth. And I certainly hope she finds those things in the weeks ahead.
But.
There are certain sins that rightfully should land a poster in the permanent penalty box.
