I didn't notice that Sharon had been crying, but I did watch the clip on my laptop in a tiny corner of my screen (watching my mum, usually on a huge monitor when I'm at home).And yet if you see the clip it looked like Sharon had been crying during the break. So again disingenuous as we didn't see what happened in the break.and she had the guts to go back for more and allowed it to be televised.
Sharon's hurt and annoyance at being portrayed as a person she's not is just as valid as Sheryl's, surely? Otherwise why bother having the conversation in the first place, if, as a white woman/friend of Piers, your skin colour automatically makes you the enemy?
As for Sheryl being accused of crying by Sharon (which I saw as a victim tactic to stop her talking/divert attention) - when me and my sister argue she has this really annoying habit of saying STOP SHOUTING AT ME - when she's doing the shouting. It's debatable who is being "gaslit" (as some are saying on Twitter) but there should never, ever be a one-sided conversation with a black person always having the trump card and being in the right just because of their skin tone. Even without uttering a word. Otherwise, what's the point of a white person even appearing on a talk show?
We need to exercise some common sense and understand that we can only move forward if all (sensible) voices are heard and respected. I swear society is moving backwards.
