Think you've nailed that there.

Shame on anyone calling for that poor woman to lose her job.

I don't think she is poor.

My third eye spits into your mums throat.

I mean, it’s not a hanging offence, for sure. I’m not even sure it’s something that she should lose her job for. Think painting it as a grift is unsubstantiated though.

But transposing that conversation into one I might have in a pub. Asking a black girl or guy within seconds of meeting them “No, what part of Africa are you from?” is a ‘kin weird sentence that I can’t really imagine saying.

Of course, but it wasn’t the pub, it was a very large gathering of people who no doubt came from all over the world. It was the old dears job to circulate and engage people in conversation. At any large global conference gathering people will ask stupid questions of others but it’s just conversation. The Lady who says she was racially abused and suffered verbal violence could simply have said ‘excuse me I need to speak to a friend of mine/visit the bathroom’ or whatever to bring it to a close and then raised the issue the next day via the Palace. I think it’s the ‘go to the media and get on the TV’ that doesn’t sit right. But everyone, as is shown on this thread, will have a differing opinion.…..

What gets me about the woke is that they must be so perfect in their own lives.

But the thing is these people judge yet often have their own skeletons in their closet - they've had sexual intercourse before marriage, they've no spirituality, they have likely done drugs at one point or another, they cuss, they insult others some even will have had run ins with the law.

So where does this misplaced superiority come from I wonder when judging an 83 year old arl bird based off a one off conversation ?

Define woke mate

 

[Kurt.]

I agree with what you're saying Diogenes however I guarantee if you was in the same situation you would be judged in the woke court based on little to no evidence other than one person claiming to be offended by your conversation and as a result you lose your job, livelihood and your reputation tarnished forever and some find that acceptable.

I used to think these people were just misguided fools/student types but through the lens of my third eye I see this group as being a real threat to our liberties and freedoms of expression. They're the left wing equivalent of those mad baptist pastors in the US who are fiddling taxes and touching kids whilst judging everything else that moves.

Define woke please

Her livelihood is through convincing people to give her money, through Sistah Space. She is using the African angle thus the name change and clothing and this situation is essentialy marketing (PR) for her business. That seems clear enough to me.

The pub scenario misses the context of events such as the one in question. They are essentially networking events for people to connect and get to know other businesses or activists, name badges and the like support the getting to know people bit. She has 100% used the situation.

All these woke people making the old lady commit a racism.

Shame on them.

For me there is a difference between having an opinion and outright racism however what you're seeing more and more of on social media is the latter sadly.

I find it interesting how the likes of Patel and Braverman can say and do abhorrent things to people of certain backgrounds yet the question of racism/bigotry is never brought up by the media/talking heeds.

Yet soon as an arl white dear asks where someone with an african name wearing african styled clothes comes from and is automatically branded a racist and heckled until their job is gone.

When I was more hands on in faculty work I would take the role of supervisor to PG students, oftern international students. It was a regular occurance for them upon hearing my northern accent to ask where I was from, assuming I was Scottish. It was a regular occurrence but never a point I took as an insult more an opportunity to lighten the mood and get to know one another. I'd reciprocate and enquire about them, where they came from etc. I never once was accussed in this process of getting to know someone as being racist. I have many a time asked UK students of BAME heritage about their heritage - not because I am in some way subtely racist, I am the polar opposite but like to know who I am dealing with.

Marlene Headley, parents Gladstone and Mildred Headley are from Barbados. Marlene's children all carry her birth family name, Headley, not the name she has chosen to run with now. She has chosen to ignore her rich caribbean heritage and for some reason chosen a Nigerian first name and a second name that is that of a West African nomadic trible of herdspeople and farmers.

If we look at a transcript Melanie/Ngozi has produced you can see her mind was loaded. She is stood dressed in African clothing with an African name on her name badge.

Lady SH: “Where are you from?”
Ms Fulani: “Sistah Space.”
SH: “No where do you come from?
Ms Fulani: “We’re based in Hackney.”
SH: “No, what part of Africa are you from?”
Ms Fulani: “I don’t know, they didn’t leave any records.”

Melanie/Ngozi could have said that she was not African, though her actions clearly communcate that she wants to be seen as African, or that her parents are from Barbados but instead she offers what seems a confrontational statement - I don’t know, they didn’t leave any records.

I'd say that this is all a part of her grift. Ngozi is her stage name to validate getting funds for her charity and she is milking this situation for all that she can.

As I understand it the first action was Lady SH moving her hair to look at her name badge, rather than asking her politely what her name /her organization.

Like to think I’m fairly easy going but have to say that sort of action would have probably put me in a somewhat combative move right from the off, even prior any comments.

Body language and non verbal cues aren’t conveyed very well in reporting but in actual human interactions can very quickly impact how you view someone.

Both of those articles are written by one person sharing an opinion.

neither have been media crusades with an end game to see either of those pair branded racists and forcing them outta job.

Why?

Because neither are white so they simply cannot be racist.

Now thats actual racism but no one wants to talk about that...

That Braverman cow last her job 1 day and was given another the next day.

Matt Hancock murdered people and got a well paid job on the tele.

Its nothing to do with racism and everything to do with the British public accepting everything that comes along like the little bishes they are.

Think that’s fair. Although I’d say there’s a difference between a “stupid question” and a ‘racially charged’ question.

I’m not someone who would run the media either, as would prefer to have the argument there and then. But then again, I haven’t had a lifetime of racially charged questions, so I could react differently were that the case.

 

[Amw79]

I don’t think I would, to be fair. Specifically if I had asked once, and was responded to by someone with a clear London accent.
