Amanda: Maybe I’m naive, but why chastise Treesprite for injecting ‘realism’ in her post? I think you may be guilty of some of stereotyping here yourself, something which in your own post you seem to be offended by.How do you know what the diction was of the said parties in question? What if Treesprite herself uses this same diction? What’s so horrible if the the women speaking used this particular speech? Are we to assume that you never use words such as gonna,wit, sista, girl and so on? Are you offended by the speech or the fact that for someone white posted this particular speech pattern? Are you insuiating that she is being prejudicial? what if the postee had been black? Would you have been likewise offended? Now, i have been off the mark more than a few times in my lifetime, but I thought the woman was asking a simple question, and to be honest I had never heard such comments. I was curious myself about the significance of the conversation.
