Olan I am a middle aged white girl and a Gadsen flag in the exam room would make me uncomfortable too. Particularly if the doc couldn't give me a clear and inoffensive answer as to why it was there. I'm not a big fan of mixing politics and business, but it happens. I do, however, expect that if questions are asked, the business owner is prepared for the loss if business if I find it offensive. (Although, unlike the people in the other thread, I am not a shouter or harasser, I just won't come back.) She can barely speak above a whisper. If not for disparity in care hahah she probably would have had a selective mutism diagnosis. They said she was stupid. It was the 80's my parents were young so they just loved her. I was her voice so I knew she was a genius. She was almost eight before anyone knew the truth. I think white people like Kymberlee would have you believe black people are easily offended and look for things to get in a tizzy instead of taking a step back and acknowledging facts. BUT here is the black history fact the real truth is there are sooooooo many things!!!! We try to burn them all into our memories *no pun intended of course because I mean who knew a burning cross would take on the meaning* but what happened with racism is it became systematic a bunch of well meaning white people said be nice y'all let those people go and the rest rubbed their hands together and said slavery out Jim Crowe in. Whites Only signs removed. Did you know Ruby Bridges is still alive (your age) so that means the kids who taunted her are too....abusive white people will have you believe slavery and racism is something that happened so so so long ago and black people are whining ( leftturnonly *waves*) whilst America elected a black president I.e. are ready to play nice. TRUMP totes shattered the idea that we were progressing in that area. I think as I've aged I've become more clear on how divided this country will always be. I have absolutely zero hope and am preparing myself for what will be. No one wants to make it right. In a thread about HeLa the conversation turns to why my sister should have sucked it up and not tried to look for something to get offended about. 1950's Baltimore. 2016 Suburban Ohio.

I didn't know who she was, but I worked with her cells throughout my research career. Fascinating!

Olan, kiss my ass. You have no idea who I am or what I believe and calling me out like that is rude and uncalled for. You were offended by something you knew nothing about but decided to get butt hurt about it. Whatever. Somehow I knew this thread would turn into a poor me, look at how ugly the white people are to me and mine. I truly had no idea what you were talking about so I asked. You weren't very clear in your posts and you still aren't making much sense. Have a nice day.

Olan, what you just said to Kymberlee was downright rude. YOU were the one that brought up the poster in this thread, and now moan that it's off topic. She and I were asking you honestly what about it offended you specifically. Did it ever occur to you we were asking to try and better understand your point of view? You then admitted you didn't even know what it was. So yes, when you admit you don't know what something is, but then go into a diatribe about how offensive it is it leaves people scratching their heads.

You weren't very clear in your posts and you still aren't making much sense. Have a nice day. First things first kiss my ass as well. You are right you didnt have a clue what I was talking about SOOOOOOO I shared exactly how the conversation went down FOR CLARIFICATION. I am not making sense only because you don't like what I am saying. I don't like what you are saying either. But I won't be a big whiny asshole and say I don't understand what you are saying. Thats for people like you to do. This isn't a poor me thread. No one has to pretend they give a damn about me as a human being anymore. As I said before I have no hope for dialogues to go unlike this one. Ive interacted with enough people like you on twopeas and IRL. Both my sister and I are doing well in spite of. People like us always will. White people have behaved in ways that most of you shouldn't be able to wrap your heads around but who knows what goes on in the minds of people like you Kymberlee. There are so so so many instances of ugliness. You do know that right? I would lay them all out here but I think thats another tactic of abusive white people. They want you to constantly explain yourself. Thats because they've figured out it keeps you from the real work. i.e Lets let little Ruby go to school with us we will get her on the back end of things. Well I am ready to do the real work and I hope all the young black people seeing history sort of repeat itself are ready to go about seeking resolution in a different way. Ownership. Ownership. Ownership.

I brought it up. I didn't think we would stay on topic as long as we did. There was a bit of false information that I didn't even tackle because I was kinda shocked how well the thread was going. In my mind its still going that way. My only intent was for people to google her. I think many of you did so thats great! Kymberlee and her feelings don't change that for me. Neither does yours. Tell everyone how rude I was though. Olan is so rude man!

I totally think we would have been able to hug this out in the end! Exactly what point of mine wasn't clear. Clarity is important to me so these are the following points Nink and Kymberlee want you to breeze by. Henrietta Lacks existed Disparity in care exists Racists people are hiding amongst us and trying to provide medical services Symbols/Flag have many many different meanings Political/Revolutionary War posters don't belong in the waiting room If you walked away feeling like Olan is rude. Please kiss Kymberlee 's ass

Blow by blow of telemarketing call so we are two for two and Gina can say I am a "real" pea and not someone who just drops black history facts (which I fully intend primary focus so yay!) here it goes: Olan: Hello CDC: Something Something vaccines in children. Olan: *again...grrr* Tell me what you know about HeLa. Olan: *before she could finish* you don't even know who she is. CDC: scripted answer blabber. No I don't know who she is. I didn't call you earlier. She didn't answer the phone when I called. Olan: *stares at phone* I feel like I'm missing something. Cold calls are annoying and all but I tend to reserve that level of aggression for those telemarketers who are disregarding the Do Not Call list. The CDC is exempt.

I was very interested in your thread but I was puzzled by why it seemed you were being vague about the CDC survey and also confused about what went on in the doctor's office. I mean, what's your endgame posting here? Do you want an active, open and respectful discussion about the very interesting ideas you introduced on this thread? Because if you do, it might be more helpful if you didn't respond to people so defensively. It just shuts down dialogue.

I want to speak honestly and openly about my experiences even if that means broad brushes. I think it is a voice America needs to hear. I understand that it won't make people feel good. I am okay with that. As for the dialogue thing. You could be right. I think Henrietta Lacks should be a household name thats why I posted. Nothing else. But just as discussions do they devolve. Turn into something else. I used to bite my tongue here a lot. I don't think it serves anyone any good especially people who look like me. White tears the young folks are calling it.

I left after my Black Men Killed thread so that was early in the election season. My god the change! This place is.... hahaha well representative of the American voice. You all are voting for Trump but want me to believe my anger is unwarranted and not all white people are bad. I don't think even white people believe the shit they are selling anymore. I keep reading "How can Trump even run next to Hilary" ummm because keeping American great isn't exactly what you'd have us believe. I wish I had more time. I will try to return to this thread but I may have to wait until my keeper goes to her government job before I bang away at the keyboard. I also have a Genius Bar appointment. Don't go wishing bad shit on my Macbook now!

If every other person running for president in this election were beamed up by aliens, I still wouldn't vote for Trump. I would rather pick some random person off the street to be president. In addition to defensiveness, believing you can read our minds and know what we are thinking and feeling is also going to shut down dialogue. But I'm kinda getting the feeling that dialogue isn't what you're looking for.

Why would that be one's response to a question about vaccines? -- Anyway, I just went back and read the whole thread to see how we got from "do you know who this person is?" to the fighting on the last page or two. All I saw where people saying either "yes I've heard of her" or "no I haven't" and some asking honest questions about who she was and what the implications of her story are. I'm a bit confused still about how "don't tread on me" relates to it. Guess I should go read that section again.

Don't Tred on Me was me pulling from my own personal experiences to share that disparity in care exists even for women who've reached the pinnacle of education and pay good money to be seen by someone fucking qualified and competent. No politics involved. You don't get why I was offended. We all know neither my sister and I know why. Kymberlee do you believe it belonged in the waiting room? I am okay with the dialogue about the don't Tred on Me experience I didn't say I was upset I just brought up the irony. Did that upset you? It shouldn't take away from the peas learning about a woman who deserves more than society gave her. Should it? Topics go like this here all the time. Don't make it all my fault though. I can't have this conversations with myself. OWNERSHIP. Thats the new nugget. Dip it into high fructose corn syrup and thank Henrietta Lacks you don't have polio!

Well, I step away for a few minutes and all hell breaks loose. Olan you were rude and your posts were incredibly disjointed. We went most five pages before the racist/racism accusations started. I have never interacted with you because this is usually how your threads evolve. I almost think this is how you wanted this thread to go but it took a bit more time than usual. I'm sorry your world is so miserable, but don't drag me into your drama. I agree with peano, although I don't think that you ever want to have a rational discussion about anything. Dang, you even got into a disagreement with the CDC telemarketer and then the thread went from the telemarketer to your sisters doctor who had a flag that might or might not be offensive to you in someway in which you weren't quite sure why. You wonder why some of us were confused? If you wanted to talk about disparity in health care, why didn't you just come out with it instead of acting like we are the dense ones?

Olan, I could care less that the flag was in the waiting room. It doesn't offend me like it offends you, but I guess I knew the origin of the flag. I also don't get my panties in a twist about things.

The call didn't go the way she described. She just said that to bait people into a reaction and, when no shit was flipped, she pretended it was, so that she could go on the offensive about…something. IDK, I got kind of lost at that point in the manic laughter.

Your sister never got care from the doctor with the Gadsden poster because she left before receiving any care. I'm not sure how you can claim that as an example of disparity in care when she was never treated, not due to the doctor's unwillingness or (perceived) racism but to her own refusal of care. Has she since gotten care elsewhere? Was her treatment ultimately disparate?

It couldn't have when you have people arguing with me about the placement of a Don't Tred On Me sign in a medical setting. My sisters medial history is none of your business though. Can you see why a man who would cast a vote for Donald Trump isn't the doctor who should see my black sister? How is political beliefs absolutely shape the care he provides. Clearly for him right! You can whine and say not all of us but lets all agree that a man with that sign in his office probably pinches black babies. No?

Also since all these wonderful vibrant new topics are being introduced into Henrietta Lacks honorary thread;
Would you be examined by a man who had a Trump Pence sign in his waiting room?
If he was so proud of his political standings why place the Don't Tred On Me sign up?
Where are all the Trump Pence signs anyway? Embarrassed?
Can you see how much of a mind fuck that is for black people? And now you want to use that against me? All things meant to show pride in something or bring about fear in someone else.

Further, I don't thank that @scrubologist was prying into your sister's medical history. She was only trying to understand the situation that YOU introduced into the thread. I seem to remember you, Olan, as being a normal, reasonable member of our community. Your recent posts seem to indicate that something has happened to make you a very bitter person. Your insistance on painting all white people with the same broad brush is exactly what many black people have accused whites of doing. It isn't fair when done to blacks, nor vice versa. You seem to be spoiling for a fight, and being rude to folks who are only trying to understand your garbled statements. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

I think maybe my eyes have become focused on what was plainly in front of me all along. And please don't call this place a community. Everyone is dead or fighting about the election. When the election is over you think the recipes will start flowing again? Kymberlee recommended an auto transporter to me. Or I recommended one to her. As I have said time and time again I was a pea at 20 years old. I was scrapbooking and discussing random useless shit with you guys way before I was bitter angry black Olan. A lot of black people are tired. Tired of being treated poorly and tired of people watching and being silent. Did you know the Bahamas issued a travel advisory for Bahamians traveling to the U.S.A. It's not okay to keep pretending black anger isn't warranted. It's a constant battle for me to show black joy and I am not alone. Love said she will work from home. My plan is to step away and plan for Trick or Treaters. Did you know my first year as a pea I was divorcing a white man and I lived not far from Johns Hopkins campus!

I really can't understand what the heck this conversation is about. OP, I've always had respect for your posts, but you're just not making sense here. A host of people are asking questions about what you brought up, but you're shutting off the discussion with a lot of anger. I just don't see why. Why can't you just answer the questions? It would really clarify things. No need to be so angry and throwing out all these insults. I was wondering the same questions some of the other posters had -- there was nothing racist or accusatory about it. Color me confused.

I really can't understand what the heck this conversation is about. OP, I've always had respect for your posts, but you're just not making sense here. A host of people are asking questions about what you brought up, but you're shutting off the discussion with a lot of anger. I just don't see why. Why can't you just answer the questions? It would really clarify things. No need to be so angry and throwing out all these insults. I was wondering the same questions some of the other posters had -- there was nothing racist or accusatory about it. Color me confused. I don't think this is a matter of questions I left unanswered. And just for the record. I am not angry. Obviously the world is making me and anger very close friends but feel safe in knowing I am honing the anger with Kundalini, self care, black girl joy, and the sense that while it does hurt to again be experiencing this, we always win! I am winning even in the midst of this fuckery. Someone finally gives a damn if I log off and it seems that it was perfect timing. But I will be back to sprinkle a little Feburary in the other 11 months! Only because I feel I must. I am angry mean and bitter. See ownership is still the name of this game. OWNERSHIP. Even if I don't make sense to you something should. Something should resonate. If it doesn't maybe I am right. O and please point out to me a thought of mine I didn't have to defend or a question I left unanswered. Or did you just not like my answer? I even acknowledged only general association with other bad things as the basis of my pearl clutching. You instead focus on that and not the posters placement so now I know how you really feel even if you don't say it. Silence and inference all work together sometimes

Blow by blow of telemarketing call so we are two for two and Gina can say I am a "real" pea and not someone who just drops black history facts (which I fully intend primary focus so yay!) here it goes: good grief Olan...i simply asked your opinion - Why would a poster about the revolutionary war be in an examine room. Or waiting room for that matter. agreed- if you are interested in some historical event - hang it in your office - at home gina

What did you make your hill to stand on here? Some of you are arguing the idea that my offense was my stupidity. So I have to assume you think the poster belongs. You think that a black person should have to go in to seek care and instead have to ask uncomfortable questions. You have to call your baby sister to get amped about something that is kinda illegal! Black people do that you know. Hear something offensive and then meet eyes with everyone in the room. Silent nod of "Yes it was fucked up" has to come from at least one elder for anyone says something so yeah please STFU about what I should be offended about. Nothing offends me if you can't already tell. I woulda been wrapped in that damn poster when he walked in the room! HA!
