    I suspect someone is pissed and wants payback, simple as that.

    Sexual harrassment IS a serious topic. And yes, it is about control.
    But I dislike women crying wolf as much as I do the men who really do put women in such a situation.

    I also get suspicious/tired :roll: when the whole of a thread about anyone is reduced to a detailed descriptions of their physical appearnance - maybe he could shout discrimination due to her description of him as being little more than meat in her eyes. Yawn. What's his side of the story?

    i think you all are being way too hard on chocolate cupcake.

    anyone in here (rather they are honest or not) would feel slighted if someone from their own race showed favortism towards whites simply because they are white. we get enough of that from white people everyday without other blacks doing it. i dont have much of a problem with people being more physically attracted to other races than there own but there is a DIFFERENCE in having a physical preference and TREATING someone form your own race as less just because they're black. damn, dont white women (and white people period) get enough unfair advantages and breaks as it is? why would they need our help ? how would you all like it if a black woman was in a leadership position on the job and helped all the white men out more than she did the black men and she would only give black men breaks IF they were light-skinned? how would you like it if she did all of this just because she was more attracted to white men than black men?

    lets see how many people are REAL enough to admit they would have a problem with this.

    true. but the opposite is true too.
    It's like when people expect favouritism because they are the same - race either in the workplace or romance.
    Case in point. Asian manger joins firm. Treats everyone like shit but makes exception for the only other asian employee. :roll: Some might say that's "acting white", I say it's being discriminatory FULL STOP.

    It all boils down to an 'I'm better than you' mentality.
    Only being 'nice' to someone due to looks is equally yuk. Bad luck if the other person rejects 'you' if they operate that way too. :lol:

    Let's try to stay on track for a minute...
    As far as the what if's and what not's go...
    We can rationalize anything so the question is not about “what if the sky turned pink in the morning”.
    The question is was it sexual harassment? Yes it was.
    Was cupcake okay with it before? Yes she was.
    Did cupcake say she wanted revenge because she thought he was doing more things [not job related things] for white women? Yes she did.

    How is that right?

    The issue [my issue] with cupcake is/was she played the game with the guy until she saw him being “nicer” to white women at which point all of his actions became a matter of sexual harassment. His actions were all fun and games until “something” made cupcake jealous. I think it's BS.
    Although she said she is not going to HR, I believe it's only a matter of time before she does because it seems like a setup to me in that she played with the guy but now she won't tell him the game is over but she is just getting as much “dirt” on him as she can before she goes to HR.
    Not right in my book.
