I'm sorry, that comment was really not aimed at people like you who are clearly objective and reasonable....it was specifically intended for a group of Tiffany fans who constantly say that she is only ever critisused because she is black yet never speak out in support of any other minority groups that are attacked on here....to expect my empathy for their view point on racism when they ignore or fuel hate towards older people or gay people or people they decide are ugly looking is something that I find arrogant and purile and offensive....so I speak out against that....but this is not aimed at you...at all...and I'm sorry if you felt it was....
I always try to not poke fun at things that people can't change like their race or their sexuality or their looks....if I refer to someone as being black it is a description not an insult, same goes for gay housemates, never an attack....if I call someone an old misery it will be a young person who behaves like a twat not a mature person ....if I say someone is ugly it will be a reference to their behaviour not their looks....the abuse thrown at Angie Bowie on here this week because of her age was disgraceful and none of the crowd I'm talking about said anything to defend her....yet continually they expect the rest of us to acknowledge their racism claims which are unfounded and an insult to white people ....it's racism in reverse .
Angie Bowie,
ok.
...THAT'S HOW MUCH THAT IT HASN'T BOTHERED THEM..
...seriously though, I know that David and Angie are ill and sleep deprived etc...but stress weakens the body and makes it more susceptible/vulnerable, so that may have been a big factor there as well, to them feeling so unwell...
