Are you a man or a woman? Most woman recognize it for what it is, but men continue to give the benefit of doubt. I do not know if most men are MALICIOUS but they certainly are OBLIVIOUS.

I have made my teen daughter and son watch this and talked about it.

I'm the OP and I'm a man

I posted this because I might be oblivious

To me, this seems very inappropriate but he didn't actually grab her noon

That being said, the comments about him controlling her and squeezing her close to him make perfect sense

The Washington Post headline said he grazed her breast

He was totally groping her side boob.

+1.

He was checking how Grande it was.

Maybe he does the same at Taco Bell?

I'm pretty sure the groping antihispanic black pastor voted Hillary, as did most of his defenders here.

Wake up

That’s a 10 OP

That video showed incredibly inappropriate groping by that pastor. No man reaches around a woman and KEEPS his fingers on her breast unless it’s intentional. And if you watch, his fingers keep getting more and more onto her breast.

Disgusting.

He should be prosecuted and investigated, probably the tip of the iceberg for this creep. Another degenerate using religion as a cloak.

But, he's black and obviously well connected.

Nothing will happen to him.

On a scale from 1 to 10, how inappropriate is this?
I guess 1 would be not even touching and 10 would be completely groping her between the legs or something

Ariana should have kicked the bishop in the balls and called him hijoputa.

I tell young people who are too touchy to stop it. I assume that the older ones are impossible to cure. I find myself sometimes putting my arms out to indicate that I need space. It happens less as I get older, which tells me that these men like to dominate young less powerful women.

Having an open casket travel around with clothing changes for the deceased is also weird. So much weird going on...his hand wasn't the problem.

Couldn’t disagree more. She looks SO uncomfortable. Other than saying “please stop touching me” not sure what other cues she could have given.

Then why did she give him a big hug after and a sweet smile. Just not seeing it.
BTW...I am a woman. Still think the whole service or whatever that was was very odd.

Because women are socialized to make nice and not cause a scene. If it’s never happened to you, you’re lucky, but most of us have been in a situation like this before. Where you don’t want to act hysterical and cause a scene so you just kind of grin and bear it and hope it’s over soon.

It's pretty depressing how many women can relate to this

That seems to be the position here frequently whenever breasts are discussed. That they aren't sexual. Now suddenly they are?

I really don't see this as a predator intentionally molesting someone. He reached around to side hug her. She is short, his hand touched the side of her boob, rather than her waist. He is focused on preaching / speaking. Should he have had the presence to immediately take his hand away - of course? He didn't. He may not have had a single thought about where his hand was touching. Her dress was a slippery material, he could feel his hand slipping, he readjusted it (again possibly without analyzing where it was).

She shouldn't have to deal with that and he should have quickly removed his hand. But lets not get carried away about a part of the body that isn't sexual and therefore is really no different than him touching her arm.

This is every man’s defense when talking to HR. It was all just a misunderstanding!

Do you think that there can ever be a misunderstanding when it involves men or are men's intentions always the wrong ones? Do you think a man has ever unintentionally put his arm around a woman in a way that brushed her boob? Do you think men ever are focused on more than one thing at once and possibly do something absent minded?

What would the preacher gain by intentionally grabbing the boob of a famous woman on live TV in front of millions? Why would he want the world to see that? I dn't get the benefit for him of doing that intentionally?

He thought he was being subtle and no one would notice. Not just a creep, but a stupid creep.

This. I'm appalled that PP (or anyone else) would suggest otherwise.

This!!!!!! I can't believe ppl aren't mentioning the taco bell joke. What an awful man!!!!

Exactly. Hypocrisy and double standards on racist comments because he is AA.

We will take care of him. You take care of white folks that make inappropriate comments.

But I suppose that's the point, right?

White women have primarily led the me, too movement...calling out bad behavior of primarily white men in power.

And white people regularly call out racist behavior. Any inappropriate comment by a public figure or covered by media is quickly called out over social media. But this incident hasn't prompted the same public outcry, right? Maybe it will. It certainly should. That comment was ridiculous and should be called out by everyone.

This is a stretch, did you break an arm there?

I thought I could hear her say "Me too."
