Turtle Bay is not the way

Dear PatricksRum
Have just read the 'what makes you kiss your teeth' section and i don't like the way most white people assume it's the true real deal in Turtle Bay
Once had to share a cab with a white woman who when we passed our local branch started going on about how 'cool' it was in there
My silence spoke volumes
Also
Controversial but here goes:-
White chavvy girls having mixed race kids without a clue and assuming they now know about everything "black" whilst speaking bad patois?! ( my locs don't help)
Thinking their kid(s) in the partners black family are better than other kids born already and patronising the adults in said black family circle constantly
But never in their own white family, where the kids are totally ignored and neglected by mother when in her parents house
Have seen this more than once on the road where I live playing out with two sets of families at either end
Very sad
Sorry if I'm late to this thread; just found this

Ok I'll bite.

The only thing 'very sad' thing here is you and your racist tropes and blatant colourism.

1 - There is only one race.

2 - Your post is as disgusting as anything a Reform or Trump supporter could come up with. Are you really Black? Or are you just one of those people who thinks their shit don't stink.

I would rather spend an afternoon with one of those White women than a bitter and twisted, defender of colourism.

You spend an afternoon with whom you like
And yes I am black first generation born of West Indian parents
Im assuming you're white
And offended by the fact that I as a black woman have expressed an opinion of a particular group of 'white' so you'll accuse me of inverse racism because I dare to have a opinion about what I've seen actually happening in the street I live; for me, its a true lived experience my dear
I have the right not to be talked down to by anyone especially some girl who because she's a black boyfriend thinks she can pass by and say whatever she likes
Because I don't do/never did patois
Or would you rather I did because my articulation somehow offends your sensibilities and you think all blacks should speak/act only one way?
Am aware of my shit stinking
And the last time that was said to me i was accused of being "uppity" like I've previously said,
Spend an afternoon with one of those white women if you want, in fact have yourself a party
But don't go down the crude racist bait road to get a knee jerk possibly 'aggressive so I knew I was right about you' reaction rather than the thought out explanation I've tried to give here
And talk about there being only "one race?"
Sometimes it chimes with
My best friend is black

Turtle Bay may not be the way (the food is not great imo) but they do 2 for 1 cocktails.
