*** OFFICIAL BREXIT SUNLIT UPLANDS and #MEGA THREAD ***

I mean "at best" Fulani has snapped and unloaded years of pent up aggression against an old lady who asked her the wrong question at the wrong time. The straw that broke the camel's back. I could understand that from Fulani's pov.

But if that were me in Fulani's shoes, I'd quickly recognise I'd overreacted and would seek to play down the incident and would want to have a private clear-the-air talk with the old lady. I'd know it's not fair to hold one person to account for the cumulative actions of many people over many years. I'd know it's even less fair on an elderly lady. That would keep me awake at night, assuming that I'm not a nasty piece of work happy to ruin other peoples' lives to boost my own profile.

She's not being aggressive about it at all, she's just expressed disappointment that this kind of thing can happen at a royal event.

But if that were me in Fulani's shoes,

You'll never understand what it's like to be in her shoes mate. I think that's part of the reason so many white people think she's being unreasonable or an attention whore or was asking for it by wearing African clothes and letting her hair cover her name badge or whatever other ridiculous excuses people are coming up with.

I'd quickly recognise I'd overreacted

She posted the convo on twitter with a tone of disappointment. Not sure how that's an overreaction.

I mean ok she didn't have to make it public, fair enough. But if it was offensive enough to her that she did, that should count for something. It's not like this Fulani woman has a history of whipping out the race card (afaik) every time someone looks at her sideways.

and would want to have a private clear-the-air talk with the old lady.

Indeed, I would think Lady TE would be keen to straighten things out with her, if she really felt she'd been misunderstood. Haven't heard that that's happened though. Maybe it has.

I'd know it's not fair to hold one person to account for the cumulative actions of many people over many years.

Where is she doing that?

I'd know it's even less fair on an elderly lady.

Won't someone think of the old people...I mean we can all feel sympathy for her, and obviously the palace is to blame for having someone working there who didn't know how to behave.

That would keep me awake at night, assuming that I'm not a nasty piece of work happy to ruin other peoples' lives to boost my own profile.

lol, like she planned the whole thing.

Fulani: "Imma gonna make up some shit an old lady working at the palace said to me, and get me some TV time. Yeehaw!"
