How are you celebrating International Womens Day?

[SueEllen]

ok so the african inspired clothes were a tweed suit?

She was wearing a cardigan. An item of clothing named after....

Also there are groups of black people like the Congolese Dandies who put their own twist on common Western clothing and fabrics.

oh I hope the lady at the bus stop was hung drawn & quartered for cultural appropriation.

Why should she be? I know you don't buy women's clothing but you can get such clothes from mainstream retailers.

While you may fit into the Ginger Club, unfortunately unless you have brown skin you don't fit into their club.

I suppose you could do a Nkechi Amare Diallo......

Don't you try and oppress me! I can identify as a black ginger if I want!

No I'm talking about real living people.

There are people in or off Jamaica descent who are ginger and black. (There are others.)

Like this cutie

I know you don't buy women's clothing ...

Do really know that?

I'll bite.

That might have been true first time round. Said white woman has lost her job, has been publicly shamed, come forward to apologies and be educated in the public eye. Incident is closed.

But that was then, the situation is now. The black woman has had someone sacked, received grovelling apologies all round and has had her (more than) 15 minutes of fame. She's now milking it by overtly dressing in a way that arguably caused the confusion in the first place and complaining she deserves more. Sympathy has gone and there is just no need.

Said white woman is now back performing royal duties though and said black woman has been harassed to the point that she has had to step back from her job. Who won?
