Who are Elsa 's "true friends form there who reminded me of my heart"? Are any of you here, currently?
WTAF does this even mean?
"Thank you for all of those who told me that I'm still a crown princess even after displaying I'm a racist, denigrating someone going through cancer treatments, telling someone whose child was facing significant health issues to 'bootstraps it' while getting free meds from the board and a grandma paying for my treatment so I wouldn't have to touch my trust, and making fun of men in an infertility clinic. Those of you who see my true heart know that none of those things are actually a reflection on my crown-princess character."
venice2007, that is terrible and I'm so sorry you didn't feel like you could speak out about what was happening.
It was a time no one questioned the regs. Ever Thank you
LHC was a smoker, and she reeked of smoke to people she met all throughout her time here, including someone she met right before she left. What a fucking hypocrite, I'm sorry you felt like you had to take that from her when she was probably harassing you will sucking on a smoke.

Followed by her doing affirmations in the mirror every morning

Just to bring it full circle, "don't question the regs" is a large part of the reason that racism goes unchecked here.
No it isn't. Racism goes unchecked because most of you don't even see it as it's happening. There's not some vocal minority of racist posters here. Most of you suck in this regard, which is why the people who have been run off have been understandably bewildered by it all. They weren't doing anything different than everyone else. The only time shit gets real is when a WOC (usually black) gets pissed enough to say something.
Anyway, everyone carry on with your reminiscing, although it is a lot more fun to talk about people who are actually here.
You're right. I did it earlier in this very thread. I saw the "great hair" comment and thought it was weird but didn't make the connection to racism in my head until it was quoted several times by people who did. I have no moral high ground.
Funny you should mention it because yesterday I was thinking I was thankful I wasn't a global anymore so I wouldn't somehow inadvertently delete this particular thread. ::un-breezy weak laugh::
