He's not their teacher, he felt misunderstood and unheard, and it's very easy to get frustrated living with white people who want to act like everything you're living and feeling is invalid because "racism doesn't exist". He got fed up and who knows they may have had several talks that were calm but Becky (present day) clearly showed she's not open to hearing Kevin's pov so I'm just going to assume that's how she was in 1992. Especially since her only alternative was to leave. She's ignorant and wants to remain that way.

I'm not talking about 2021 Becky, she's completely in the wrong there. And I know Kevin is not their teacher, but he was trying to teach them something. He was correct in everything he said, but tact is important. But to your point I'm sure tact is very difficult to have in a house where you are the minority and the topic is race relations. I didn't consider that until you pointed that out. Thank you for that. 

 

it's not his job to coddle adults no matter what year it is, he said what he said. 

Why should he put in extra work to make sure you a grown *** adult don't have your feelings hurt when he's spitting facts? 

No one said anything about coddling, but there is a happy medium. What Kevin is trying to do is educate, and when you educate there are steps you need to do to ensure that what you are trying to teach STICKS. One way is showing respect to the person that you're trying to teach. If you don't respect your pupil, they feel that, and odds are that whatever you want them to learn will be rejected. If you're not choosing the right words to make your message stick, you're just talking into the wind and making people upset. Kevin has clearly learned that now, but he didn't know it back then. 

no. 

he was young and frustrated, now he's old and still having to have the same exact conversation. Zero growth and defenitely no inkling of it happening back then either. He doesn't have to say anything with "tact" what he said was clear even in his youth. That's a lot of excess mental labor your asking of him when it's not his problem

I guess I'm not taking into account how taxing the topic is on Kevin, and that its like whack a mole for him. It keeps coming up again and again and he's the only one able to say anything intelligent on the topic. Nicities are easier to come by when the conversation isn't heavy. That makes sense to me, that slack should be given when these are the topics. 

Becky was wrong and she should have handled it better.  Kevin isn't interested in a conversation though if we're being honest. His only interest is telling her how she's wrong lol

Back then in 1992  I would agree, but  he was clearly trying to have a dialogue this time and she shut it down.

She lost all credibility when talking about bff with John Lennon's ghost. Shut up Becky.

Why did she write that like a poem lmaooo

Yeah because that's acceptable and something people should applaud smh

I was wonder how long it would take KVM to come in and get offended by this.

I'm not offended. Everyone is entitled to their opinions but let's not pretend that's acceptable. Becky handled the situation poorly which I said from the beginning. And we should understand Kevin's inability to offer a sincere apology from the start made her defensive. If you can't see fault on both sides you're unwilling to have a real conversation. 

 

It does look like Paramount has a bunch of RW seasons not sure of that's new or not know?

When Becky is leaving and Julie said that they need to hit pause because they all made each other assurances is the part that I think we should be paying attention to.  Someone broke some deal the question is who

I wasn't applauding anything it honestly just caught me off guard when I looked up her name. 

And yes those real world seasons been there

they just don't have the pivotal seasons that everybody wanna see like 5-11 -- those seasons never get played anywhere

Okay thanks. Wasn't sure

Boston NOLA and BNY are really ones I'd want to see. 

oh so this is becoming a whole series for every real world season up to bad blood throughout the years or is there a cut off?

definitley not lmaoo I can only see them successfully squeezing out one or two more if done right -- I feel like they might start combining seasons together to keep it fresh in case there's people who don't wanna return in specific seasons.
