Yes, I had no patience for this kind of shit in high school, and as an adult, I have even less patience with it. When i hear someone, especially if it's a woman, being bad mouthed by someone, and its not confirmed by the opinions of at least four or five other people, I just go talk to her, or sometimes even befriend her myself.

As a Black woman, I'm well used to people writing the entirety of my life story, having only looked at me a couple of times, or having never exchanged a single word with me. I realize this happens to everyone to some extent, but when it happens to Black men and women, the story being told is almost always something negative.
