Member of Household resigns

[myrtleWilson]

Awful story just broken on twitter about horrendous racist questioning from Lady Hussey to Ngozi Fulani from Sister Space at yesterdays VAWG event.

Lady Hussey has resigned.

[Edited by MNHQ to correct typo at OP's request]

Lady SH is an elderly racist. The apologists on this thread are younger racists. Being racist isn't an age thing, it's a racist thing.

I'm off to update the spreadsheet.

You thought you'd rock up on the thread, mention your 'African heritage, Caribbean descent and British born ' child and we'd all determine that your racist posts can't be racist. Not happening.

How do you have the debating/spelling abilities of a Daily Mail reader? I think you would feel very alone in the comments section of a broadsheet. Correct me if I am wrong and you are actually a genius on morphine or something. 😅

She’s dodging any and all questions and going ‘I can’t be racist, you’re so silly!’ It’s certainly interesting.

Dismissing who she is and the context of her race, skin colour and heritage when Ngoni Fulani was interrogate about these in such a rude and unintelligent manner shows up your white privilege, no matter what you tell yourself.

You're helping to maintain the racist status quo. Crack on, but don't expect to be respected for it.

Absolutely this.

Educate yourself.

I'm entitled to express my feeling of unease about how this was handled, while also agreeing on the seriousness of the incident and the resignation.
I suspect you're making inaccurate assumptions about my skin colour, not that I give a stuff about what you think.

I GUARANTEE you that I could out-spell and out-educate you on any day of the week.

I think calling out typos is crass, but go ahead and pick out my typos, give me a laugh...

She's in her 80s, same as my MIL.

The difference is between then is that my MIL isn't racist and is well aware that we now have several generations of black people who are British and were born in the UK. She wouldn't dream of asking "Where are you from?" if she was curious about someone's heritage.

Ooh er, we cannot be immigrants and disagree with this bunch of angry zombies. Not allowed according to the rules. Tut tut. Ding!!! You're cancelled!

Here’s the answers to yoke questions.

1. yes, I think she should have let the focus been on the event. She could have raised this in a week’s time.
2. I think she’s media savvy. If you tweet something, it’s in the public domain.
3. i don’t think I ‘spew nonsense’. You’re the racist one because you won’t allow other women to have a voice if you don’t agree with them or they don’t fit the narrative. I raised my point of view in a respectful manner and all you can do is insult me. You’re as bad as Lady Susan. I won’t let people like you put me down for having my opinion.

It’s astonishingly common. There’s research that indicates it’s most common in BM/WW and WM/AW pairings, but as those are the most common interracial pairings, I’m not sure if that actually means anything. What’s frightening is that these people then raise mixed race kids while despising 50% of their heritage. It makes me really sad to think about.

Are you okay, little bot? Are times hard for you now the Cambridges have stopped the paydays?

Hilarious that @Rainingnow , @Croque and @Aquablue21 refuse to disclose their own race, apart from vague references to minority religious group and mixed races.

And yet Ms Fulani was being difficult by refusing to disclose her heritage to Lady Hussey.

The hypocrisy is amazing.

Looking at the questions, and how Ngoni answers, I think she saw an opportunity, Lady Hussey walked into the trap, and Ngoni is getting publicity from it.

I mean the first time LH says 'where are you from', Ngoni replies with the company name. When asked again, she says 'we are based in Hackney'. She knew full well what the question was and could have said "I come from hackney'.
Then the conversation could have gone two ways - an acceptable way, or an unacceptable way. The latter would have been LH's fault but by answering with the company name, then WE instead of I, Ngoni was setting a trap.

'Out-spell' 'Out-educate' are they new ones?
💀💀
I hope it is a moneyback guarantee!

A black woman posted a racist exchange on her Twitter feed? Why does that make you feel uneasy?

Absolutely agree!!

And now, on R4 I've just heard Petronella Wyatt, another crony of Charles and Camilla, one of their regular "sources close to Charles said" friends.

She has just explained why we are all wrong, its not racist at all, dear old Lady Susan doesn't have a mean bone in her body, not racist at all, the Palace will miss her, poor dear has lost her job and best of all that she is asked where she is from all the time and doesn't find it offensive.

Hussey didn't just say "but where are you from" she kept repeating it and refusing to accept the answer multiple times.

Dictating when people can speak about hurtful experiences? For what, your comfort? Some imagined etiquette (that only the black woman has to stick to, naturally)? And saying she's "media savvy" oh so she's cunningly outed the poor little old lady? You are RACIST and your mental gymnastics are crazy.

Croque of shite is about right.

😅 That reads better than ‘grandiose delusion’ – and equally as true.

Hmm, some people of colour on Twitter have interesting different opinions and offer insight into the background of this. Worth considering I think.

I’m Māori. That ok, with you?

I'm from Mars. That OK with you? See I can type anything too.
