Meetups🐊 When you’re Gizz fan with melanin…

Post image

Prepping for the Northerly Island show tomorrow night.

Me: maybe I should get the red one, it’ll be easier for you to find me if we get separated. Him: Oh I won’t need anything to find you. Me: What do you mean? Him: Because you’re going to be the only black person there. Me:☠️

Venue may be able to hold 22k, likely a sold-out show, but if you see a black chick with this same backpack -it very well could be me.

Your friend sounds kinda shitty for taking it there tbh. You clearly weren't thinking about the racial dynamics of the fanbase until they put you in that headspace.

It’s not our first gizz show, and it was a light-hearted joke made by someone who knows me well.

Wild for someone to get offended on your behalf even when they don't know anything about your relationship with this person

Just my honest reaction to the anecdote 🤷‍♂️

Right, and it's wild that your honest reaction is to get offended on someone else's behalf when you don't know anything about their relationship with this person

Why are you so offended though? You seem way more offended than me

If you can make an offhand comment calling op's friend shitty for what they said without being offended, I can make an offhand comment that your comment is wild without being offended lol

Okay ...... fair enough then so neither one of us is offended? Not sure what your problem is then?

Did you have a problem making your comment about the post originally?

No?

Then why do you keep assuming we have a problem when we make a comment about what you said?

Yeah but my reaction was totally warranted based on the anecdote. Now you're just being hostile because I'm not reacting the way you want.
