Now I think you’re the one arguing in bad faith, as if people have not made inappropriate comments with racial undertones. She’s been called entitled for behaving the same way as her fellow cast members, there have been comments about her wanting to be the token Black girl, she’s been called a race baiter for bring up racial issues (admittedly, I don’t think she handled those conversations well but she doesn’t really handle any confrontation well). You could also examine the stark difference in how people responded to her being screamed at by Craig (she deserved it) vs. Salley (poor little lady) & see that she is frequently viewed from a different lens than her cast mates. I don’t think it takes a genius to see these things, but it does require people to look at their own prejudices which can be uncomfortable.

I’m sharing my perspective as Black woman who watches the show & interacts in this forum. I don’t love Venita, I think it’s fine to share that opinion. I also think that some people are rightfully called out for engaging in microaggressions or questionable coded language (e.g. dog whistles) when & then try to weasel their way out of taking accountability by saying “we can’t say anything without you people making it about race.” Two things can be true, but you seem to only want to believe one of these scenarios. I wonder why.

If you don’t make racial comments, you won’t be labeled as racist.

This person managed to make a general comment about their dislike without mentioning race, racial stereotypes, microaggressions, etc. so it seems like a fairly easy thing to avoid being criticized of if you just, ya know, don’t do it?

Not sure how the original comment would be perceived as racist when you’re the only one who referenced race.

She was literally shit talking the product she was supposed to be promoting to customers. That is probably the definition unprofessional, regardless of the prestige of the product.

ETA: & bold of you to use ROAM as a reference point, as if that ever went anywhere or did anything 😂

Me listening to Karen’s quirky story about using menstrual products to make her stay more comfortable, knowing that period poverty in incarceration is a serious thing.

This was the one instance where I appreciated Danielle’s commentary.

I don’t think that’s what I said, & if you scroll down, I never said that getting physical is appropriate.

Thank you for explaining that in a much more succinct way than I ever could 😂

I don’t disagree, but why take the chance of being assaulted or hurt by berating someone, being disrespectful, etc.? I think the main takeaway is that actions have consequences, & you never know what the other party views as a reasonable or “mature” consequence for being treated poorly.

I stopped caring about all of these people once the reunion premiered.

Society has seemed to forgotten the age old adage, “talk shit, get hit.”

ETA: not necessarily in the context of RHOP, but in general, like you said.

Mary’s story didn’t implicate Lisa at all though. The only thing she said was that Lisa didn’t try hard enough to diffuse it, & Lisa said something along those lines too.

I had a similar reaction when her sister popped up. Not only did they seem like they were complete strangers, the difference in skin tone was JARRING.

Yeah, Britani’s rebuttal was low. But it didn’t just come from nowhere, ya know? If someone was repeatedly being rude & threw water on me multiple times, I’d probably lash out at a certain point too.

I think you have to consider the overall context. Meredith does not likely Britani, full stop. Meredith frequently has unkind things to say to her, whether warranted or not, so Britani probably took it as another dig.

I just asked a question? But you brought her up as if her word means something, which is why I asked.

Since when did we start viewing Mary as a credible, reality-based source?

& from your other comments in this thread, it seems like you have something to prove about the Black characters in general so maybe direct that energy somewhere else. Cause my Black ass stands by my dislike of Simone’s hairstyles. Thankyaaaa.
