Upset at email accusing me of being racist?

[Drowningmysorroes]

I live in a block of 8 flats and we all share the freehold. A couple bought one of the flats but never moved in.

We held a meeting when they bought the flat (I was still very new to the building too) and they stated they wanted to do building work to the flat.

Nothing else mentioned, no vote taken and I never heard anything since.

Two years later they sent us an email (Flat is still empty) saying building work is now commencing. The directors (without my knowledge) got a solicitor to issue them a letter to confirm the boundaries and work intended.

I’ve now come home from an awful day at work to an email calling us all racist and using bullying and harassing behaviour against them.

I met this couple almost two years ago for about 2 hours and have had no involvement with them since or their proposed building works. I could not care less if they were pink, blue or purple.

But when I have an email calling me racist I am actually very upset.

How is that racist?

It sounds like there really isn't anything else that the OP can tell us, hence no update. It was probably a mistake to post this if there really wasn't anything else to say; how are we supposed to know what

Posted too soon. How are we supposed to comment with so little information? No debate to be had basically.

Well I'd vote but no idea what's going on - how the heck can we say whether racist or not with so little to go on?!

Does it really matter?

You don’t know these people. And if they send abusive messages to strangers when asked perfectly reasonable questions about building work, you probably don’t want to know them.

Just ignore it.

Hilarious 😂 how can you expect anyone to comment when you won’t give any clue about what’s in this long letter/email?! Totally lost! Funny though.

'Having a terrible day!'
'Why?'
'Can't say, sorry its personal'

Some people just love throwing the R word around, it is overused. I would keep the email but wouldnt even bother dignifying it with a response

Guarantee @lowlandLucky is a white woman who will never experience racism. Guaranteed.

The assumption that a white woman will never experience racism by default of being white ‘guaranteed’ is racist in itself.

Yes I'm the difficult one because I want to know what's made you feel the way you do.

I get the distinct feeling that people on here are getting cross because they're dying to find a stick to beat OP with and feeling frustrated that they haven't managed it.

Yet another stupid post from @Equanimitas. We just want to know if she's actually been accused of racism. The letter won't tell us if she's racist - we want to know the way it was worded.
It's very clear that OPs understanding of things is very black and white (sorry!) and she struggles to comprehend something that's not very clearly defined.

She said the letter upset her so it's not unreasonable to want to know what the words that upset her were, so we can confirm whether she's right to be upset, which was the whole point of the thread.

You say there was a misunderstanding.

What was this misunderstanding?

I have a feeling that will go a long way to explain why they feel the way we do.

So what has collectively been done (or perceived to have been done) that has caused this outburst because people generally don't write letters accusing others of racism unless they feel there's a justified reason. The letter may be 23 paragraphs long but there surely must be some indication in it that pinpoints exactly why they're upset?
