Thanks; but I wouldn't do that. (pretty sure I've seen similar done woman-on-woman mind ... )
And it's still not racist. Insensitive, sure. But that doesn't automatically become racist just because it's done to a black woman.
You're arguing against something I never said.
I was merely responding to your picture and asking which of these people is most likely to get their hair moved.
With its implication that she should accept/ expect such things be done to her.
I didn't actually say it was implicitly racist, it was just plain rude, on top of the racist dialogue.
Although black people, particularly women often do get their hair handled, against their wishes, so it's not difficult to see why it might cause particular annoyance.
It's all symptomatic of how the older priveleged white woman felt she was entitled to act towards, and speak to ms Fulani.
Fwiw I think the burden of responsibility for this whole debacle, mainly lies with the palace administration.
They should see to it that people tasked with welcoming guests to events are up to a basic level of competence.
Turns out that Lady Hussey wasn't / isn't.
I expect she feels pretty embarrassed now.
How she got through all these years of 'service' with such outdated attitudes and ways of behaving intact is anyone's guess...
Most distasteful about Ngozi's fiendish conspiracy to divide us as a nation is the way it gives succour to Putin and betrays our Ukrainian friends.
Maybe this sort of thing is acceptable where she comes from.
And don't forget her behaviour also means that even more of our vets have to sleep on the streets 🙄
