Don’t you bleeping dare.



The woman has a name. She is called Ngozi Fulani. She told the racist that she was from Hackney. She’s not from bloody Africa. That should have been the end of that particular part of the conversation. Why not ask her about the amazing work she was being honoured for?

But SH couldn't see her name...

No it's not inane, the whole purpose was to go through DV, but Ngozi went to the media first about racism without honouring women's lives lost and the goal of the event.

And previous poster tried to say you could only have boundaries about being touched relevant to your ethnicity. No.

She works for a charity that supports black women who are in domestic violence homes. She shared her experience because it was relevant. Stop making excuses for such outdated and racist behaviour from Susan Hussey.
 
I'd never heard of touching black hair being considered as racist either. I wouldn't touch anyone's hair though and I wouldn't like if someone moved my hair to see my name badge instead of just asking me my name. That shows a real sense of entitlement. She sounds like a dinosaur - after that conversation they had no choice but to get rid of her whether they wanted to or not. It does show that they need to hire people to work for them instead of rounding up a load of aristos as volunteers.

NO, I BLOODY DIDN'T.

I said that hair touching was particularly felt to be insulting by the black community because of historical factors and because they constantly suffer from it, while crossing such personal boundaries is always rude.

She tweeted and the media picked it up.

What should she have done? Ignore this blatant racism and take it on the chin so that it wouldn't distract from the event? It's Susan hussey that has taken attention away from domestic violence victims not Ngozi.

The only thing I said was that SH shouldn't have moved her hair. This is not a prerogative of black people.

I did not go into the conversation between them.

SH is definitely outdated.

I didn't mention the conversation.

It was a very public media highlighted event where people didn't know each other and was supposed to be about violence which can end people's lives. So yes you do need to give an indicator as to why you were there.

Did you notice that? Are you are still saying tee hee someone can't see my name badge who cares? Don't bother putting yours on.

No. If someone came up to talk to me and they couldn't see my badge, I would show it to them. I wouldn't expect them to touch me to see who I was. She could have asked if she wanted to know her name. I have been to may conferences etc. I'm not constantly looking down to see if my name badge has twisted round. And no one has touched me to find out my name. They ask, or I introduce myself. The lady in waiting was rude and demeaning and she would not have done it to someone she thought was her equal.

Racism is thinking someone is inferior to you.

Tweeting is media; it got picked up in a wider sense.

My hair is very non impressive and just looks a bit scruffy but if anyone tried to touch it without my permission I'd feel like smacking them, and that is just as valuable as anyone from a different ethnicity. That is not based on the past it's the here and now.

Our ancestors (the majority) were vicious in different ways and would have fucked anyone over to gain advantage.

Oh, FFS.

What don't you understand about some things being boundary-crossing and impolite to all but particularly insulting to certain groups?

It's time you asked your work for a refresher diversity course.
