and just so we're clear, i personally find your suggestion here utterly offensive.

My point is that peope are continually wrongly claiming that she was wearing traditional african clothing but as it isnt traditional african clothing the same thing has happened here as in the situation. People are wrongly calling it traditional african clothng because it was worn by a black woman.

This is another of the problems here. A lot of people that havent seen the transcript or seen the dress are just following misinformation. People will be claiming she speaks in a really deep african accent next.

She's guilty of cultural appropriation on an epic scale.

Or maybe people are wrongly calling it traditional African dress because it's clothing in the style of African dress and they aren't experienced enough with the real thing to know otherwise?

I watched a TV interview with a black African woman who said her dress style was all over the place, bits from here and there.

And she may have said Hackney. Then what?

GIBURROWS said:

Yes every one that mentions her dress. It is one of the main reasons certain posters think the line of questioning was built on solid ground.

Ill be honest what you said was even worse.

Dressed like an African, having Caribbean parents, changed her name all while saying she's British, it's all just so odd and that's without her being mic'd up!

Dressed like an african WTF is that about?

GIBURROWS · 5 Dec 2022 at 19:55

She looks dressed like an African, no mention of the word traditional, she's a fraud by any stretch of the imagination.

Is she literally Hitler now?

I was standing at border control today at the airport and I was witnessing non stop blind hatred and racism.
People being asked where they had come from today? Some of them were even white.

I heard if you stand in front of the mirror with the lights turned off and say where are you from 3 times Jono will appear to berate you as a racist.

... maybe SH confused NF with a philosopher .. and it was actually an unexpected existential question,

NF's personality

you've actually heard the interview with her ? NF holds herself in high intellectual regard - r4 interview with NF, not twitter speculation, I evaluated SH and found her of sound mind lol
Lack of intelligence by both participants in the conversation to acknowledge what was happening and avoid DEFCON5
how NF manages a charity with that level of self-awareness/diplomacy, anyones guess, she should have broken her Stockhausen dependency.

..

still now only 2 weeks - NF scorn will soon be nuked by Meghan and her netflix truth , still I'm sure they are donating proceeds to a worthy cause.
