For those that missed me in Ang’s/Exposed
Basically, there is a scientific phenomenon/auditory hallucination whereby you hear what you want and/or read. A very popular experiment on TikTok is “brainstorm/green needle”. I put it to Pearl that people will hear what they hear, due to her relevant past racist behaviour. So some will hear
woman and some will hear
monkey and this was the karma of her racist behaviour - that no matter the proof, she’ll always be perceived as racist in such scenarios like today.
I was then called into Exposed’s, as they thought I was a white woman, giving Pearl the excuse of science. I was able to explain myself fully, including my being mixed POC. I also took on board how it may also have come across as lending Pearl an excuse. Ultimately I ended it with, if Pearl wants to use my science perspective, she must therefore take on board and finally admit, her past actions were racist - for my metaphor to work.
I hope this makes sense luvs 🩵
