Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

I'm confused? Is there a stereotype that all black women wear pearls and flip their hair when they talk? If you told me that was a stereotype of any race I would actually guess white but I kind of thought that was just something that women with a certain personality did, regardless of race.
It sounds like you read their comment and visualized something racist in your own mind. Maybe the call is coming from inside the house?
Yeah in my head I was thinking a white Karen tbh. Am I racist because I picked white? Or not racist because I didn’t choose black? Maybe it had NOTHING TO DO with skin color, until that dude brought it up. 🙄
I picture a cross between a lady who lunches and an emo teenager.
By all means, you can provide a link of her actually acting/talking like that too.
That other account sure as shit doesn't want to.
But most people could find a better use of their time than defending racism online, you do you tho I guess....
I don't know much about her and I don't watch her press conferences. I'm not defending anyone, your comment has just genuinely confused me because I've never heard of this stereotype in my 33 years on earth, living in a racist state in a racist country.
I'm just asking how a hair flip and pearls is racist? Can you explain that?
She's a high level public employee...
No one would imply a white woman in her position acted like that, and despite you and the other account insisting she acts like that so it's not racist, neither of you show any interest in taking the two seconds to prove it if she always acts like that like the other account said.
Can you please just tell me what the racist part is?? Is it misrepresenting her personality that makes it racist? I'm telling you I genuinely do not understand and I'm trying to learn something from you but you seem hell bent on making people out to be racists instead of actually informing people about the topic.
In that case I think you're racist because you have misrepresented my personality.
There is no racist part. They're being intentionally trolling
I literally told you that I would assume it's a white stereotype of any. When someone says wearing pearls and flipping hair, I literally picture a wealthy white socialite in my mind.
That looked fun. I noted that you said you hadn't seen Letitia James in a press conference. So here https://youtu.be/q5A_uZjQ_70?feature=shared
She always wears the pearls when she dances on the corpse. She used to hair flip, but i don't see it here. In any case, when she decided not to run for Governor of NY, the current governor said "that's really bad news for Trump and the NRA"
Keep digging, troll
