Not where it involves the 'me too' movement...

Really?

A pastor who has his arm around Ariana may have touched a little side Bob makes all kinds of headlines, but I can pretty much guarantee that's the first time you've seen of that video where scarlett Johansson boobs are blatantly fondled at the Golden globes.

Let me repeat so you can get it through your head, this situation seems very wrong to me, from my point of view. But that’s all I can comment on is my point of view.

So like I said, I will reserve a final answer judgement on this particular situation until Grande speaks on it herself, as the woman who was actually going through this.

Personally I would never touch a woman like this unless I knew for sure she was comfortable with it. And even then I wouldn’t hold a woman like that on national television.

Where did you get this victim rule ? I've never heard anything as silly.

Either it was inappropriate, or it was not. It is inappropriate to hold a women you clearly don't know in such a way that you fingers are constantly rubbing against her breast as she moves away from you, Whether or not it's on national TV or not is irrelevant.

Actually that incident was widely publicized at the time all around the globe as Mizrahi explains and he also notes that he had some backlash.

You've never heard anything as silly as women can decide for themselves what appropriate or not?

Quote:White men largely created the myth that black men should be feared, as a means of dehumanizing them and keeping them enslaved. The stereotype has persisted through generations, though the implications today often are more subtle, and in many cases, subconscious.

Questlove, drummer for the Roots and bandleader on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” wrote a few years ago about his encounter with a frightened white woman on an elevator in his upscale New York apartment building. In a polite gesture, he asked what floor she was going to and she froze in silence. All he wanted to do was push the elevator button for her, but she acted as though his intentions were more sinister.

Longtime Congressman Elijah Cummings once said he crosses the street at night in Washington when white women are walking toward him to avoid making them feel uncomfortable.
These are scenarios that many African-American men encounter every day because in society’s eyes, they are assumed to be bad guys. Meanwhile, powerful white men have been shielded even in cases where they are dangerous predators.

Again, a black man putting his arm around a white woman is basically interpreted as sexual assault, If Ariana Grande feels she was groped, let her be the one to say it.
