A lot of people do: I don't, I stop and sit down or just wait till I have a chance to respond.

Definitely a prick not helping her up, no condoning that, other than he may have been concerned about a possible lawsuit if she was hurt (not saying Vanilla would do that, but he might have worried she could be the type to take advantage) but there's absolutely no way that could be construed as a racist incident, no more than could the other one CV spoke of.

I walk into McDonald's with blood pouring out of my knee and I wait ten minutes for someone to come and bring me some tissues and a bandage so I most likely put everyone off their breakfast.

Wtf.

I know sometimes I go off on one, but this is crazy! There's not the slightest hint of provable racism here, so why is she talking about it?

You could have just said something like "oh, I don't t hink babies can be racist"

Have you not noticed it in every other area of the Lounge.
Although not the music forums yet, can't think why though.
