In /r/blackladies a white woman posts about how awful it is that black people have to deal with racism on a daily basis. People get angry. "I believe you people should limit your feelings, experiences, and need to be the center of attention to your white spaces, e.g. your Facebook wall." (np.reddit.com)

Funny you should feel perturbed by that. I have you tagged as quite the character regarding racial observations.

You aren't the one firing shots.

I'm throwing racks they showing racks.

Can I get a cool tag? I've always been fond of "Big Game" as a nickname. Though I stole it from wide receiver Tory Holt.

I don't see a racial issue at all. One topic had me saying my personal experience on stereotypes, the other, this.

Your personal opinion on racial stereotypes.

No? Just personal experience from my point of view. Oddly enough if I had a more positive experience with it, people would probably think differently. Oh well.

Also, I'm pretty sure she means "Bred".

white bread - slang

pretty sure she meant "white bread"

Regardless, it may not be the best practice to wander into a space that is specifically set aside for and by an oppressed minority. It's great that she's learning stuff but that is probably a space for white women to lurk rather than chat. I'm sure she could have posted somewhere like /r/equality to much better reception.

Point of note, the person calling her out on it is someone I remember from a previous thread, and is in fact a man.

So, also not a blacklady.
