oh my god i’m #3 on the original post that did all the history on Grenada and i’m so fucking bamboozled lmfao. what is she on!!! she must be taking that gabapentin at her vet school bc wtf. also i hear that med schools in the caribbean are notoriously easier to get into bc they’re like for the last picks on the residency draft or whatever it is. dated a doctor that explained his experience with that, willingly, on the first date lmao.
By respect, I am referring to respectful behavior. The behavior of black Americans (and non American) behavior is horrid. Excusing disorder or degrading conduct as ‘culture’ lowers standards and hurts everyone. Equality means equal expectations, not special exemption because they’re black.
The issue isn’t truly race, it’s whether we’re willing to enforce shared standards of behavior in public spaces. Excusing disorder, violence, or sexualized behavior as ‘culture’ lowers expectations and hurts the very people it claims to protect. Equality means equal standards, not exemptions. But if you call it out saying respect and standards are needed, it’s racist.
ALL black people need to get their shit together? You’re saying that because SOME black people engage in behaviors that you don’t value, black people as a whole need to learn disrespect? Why don’t you say the same thing about white people? There are white people who commit and endorse incest and that’s seen as a southern hillbilly cultural phenomenon
Sure let’s change it up then. In federal sentencing data for sexual abuse offenses (which include crimes like child sexual abuse), a majority of convicted offenders have been identified as White. For example, in recent U.S. Sentencing Commission statistics about sexual abuse offenders, about 55–56 % were White Since most of it’s done by white people, and clearly not condemned by the culture ENOUGH to prevent it from happening. say it
Hold on, we’re talking about black PEOPLE. Not culture. Suddenly you want to change what you’re crying about on this. You said black PEOPLE need to learn respect and talked about how SOME do this, now when I bring up how some white people do bad things, you wanna say “well it’s just those sub classes of white poeple” So which is it? The whole race or some people in that race?
No, I’m saying their “black hoodlum trash culture” since it’s widely accepted among the black community (you cannot specifically say which, like if you were to separate Punjabi and Southern Indian, or Grenadian vs Jamaican blacks because it’s all). Which is why black was used as a whole
You went through something truly awful, and I’m sorry you have to live with that. But regardless of the race of the person committing that act, you can’t generalize an entire race or culture based on the actions of a few. In the same way you can’t generalize that all white people are the same as MAGA dumbfucks, or pedos like Epstein. Like that doesn’t even make sense
I appreciate your understanding, but when you have their police officers (this was at my school in the Caribbean where the local population is black) laugh at you and just tell you it’s how it is, you can’t even go to the grocery store at 8am without a local dude sitting outside telling you what he wants you to do to his “sea cucumber”. EVERY WHERE you go. Pepper spray and any sort of self defense is illegal there. I do not feel comfortable around black men, and they’re painting that as racism.
And frankly, at this point the can say I’m racist all they want, but this was a local black MD student (so one would think doctors would be safe) and that makes it more terrifying for his future patients. And since then 2.5 years of sexual harassment from black men. So I don’t even care anymore what they think.
That’s truly fucked up. It really is. That’s not how things should be, not at all. Especially the police, that’s insane. And I absolutely understand your discomfort, and how it stems from your own experiences. Even more so given self defense is illegal, as you said. None of that is racism. Trying to generalize that to black people as a whole, or blame it on “black culture,” is
My point mainly being it is their culture there [local culture being black specifically] is what I was referring to but now is just getting dragged out and misconstrued. No where did I say black Americans. There even buying weed with a guy friend, I tried to ask if we were leaving soon and the dealer told my friend “you better shut your bitch up before I do”. It’s disgusting, misogynistic, wife beating, sexual assault, harassment and rape is normalized.
I get it, I do. And it’s important that you speak up about this cause like I said, it’s wrong and needs change. I’m just trying to help you understand how the way you phrased things led people to misunderstand what you were saying. It’s very important for you to get your point across and explain the situation, but if you use language like you did above, many people are just gonna right it off as racism and ignore it. Especially in this community, people are very quick to make judgements, and-
i was SA’d by a black boyfriend as a teen who spoke loudly & rudely in movie theaters. i was cheated on by a black man. yet i still identify that the cultures that blend together globally as black culture is rich and vital, and cannot be generalized in any sense. if you speak of Grenadians, you must use their nationality and NOT their race.
