Title: Serious Discussion: Is Telling Someone To "Get Over It" Appropriate?

I've been seeing a lot of comments like this online from other black/African descendent individuals. How do comments/responses like this make you feel? If you feel discriminated against is it a good idea for someone to just get over it and move on. Characterize it as preference and nothing serious?

I think it's very insensitive in these kinds of cases to tell someone "just get over it and move on" but I curious to see your true opinion on it.

f

these ignorant pieces of trash. God I hate ppl.

Telling someone to get over anything is usually inappropriate. It really depends on the context but with any social issue I doubt its okay.

It's simple, any place of business that flaunts their discrimination doesn't deserve your service.  This is why I used to side eye the gay couples who would fume at churches and venues for not wanting to host a gay wedding. Take your business to someone who will embrace you instead of throwing a tantrum over someone who doesn't.

If someone feels that a particular issue or event isn't serious then that's totally up to them; let them be.
!

Right, like how can you decide what is important to somebody else?

Exactly. This isn't really a "get over" its more like a "bitch wake the fuck up already"

Here's my stance, its not a fact of getting over it. But hitting ppl where it hurts now

She was right to LEAVE with her friend, two less drink sales they got that night.

And if these places wanna do things like this, by all means!

But I guarantee that bouncer or manager don't have many options in life, so as soon as attendance dries up, its automatics payback anyway.

I never got that either.  Why would u even want ur mess someplace that u arent respected or even wanted? I guess i understand that it's about the fact I SHOULD be able to but that's not how the world is and definitely aint how churches operate. Church aint politics so u shouldn't really expect change.

I get what they are saying. They are just being ignorant and a dick about it for social media purposes. Haha! Hehe! So controversial!

Black people need to realize their worth and start being stingy with where they spend their time and coin.
