Osha Cerese, from Georgia, has caused a Fervent debate on social networks.after the 36-year-old woman went to X to complain about an ‘offensive’ incident inside a supermarket.
Cerese, who is black, claimed she was “minding my business” when a woman approached her asking for help.
‘”Can I have you come do me a favor because you’re tall?”‘ the tall woman posted on X, quoting the inquisitive shopper.
“I looked at her with a straight face and said, ‘No, I’d rather you get someone to work here.’ She got help and when I told you she would have wanted me to walk to the other side of the section to gather something from the top shelf for her. .
‘That is very offensive to me. And yes, it was and this is not the first time I have experienced this,” he added in the post.
The controversial post has since come under fire when actress Natalie Jean Beisner sharply responded to Cerese’s controversial post.
‘I’m a tall girl who also wears heels. I have been approached numerous times to remove something from a top shelf. I always deliver if I can get it. “If I see someone struggling, I usually offer it to them without being asked,” Beisner wrote in X on Wednesday.
Osha Cerese, from Georgia, has sparked a fervent debate on social media, after the 36-year-old black woman took to X to complain about an “offensive” incident that took place inside a supermarket.
Cerese claimed he was “minding my own business” when a woman approached him asking for help.
“Black people need to get over themselves,” he added.
Cerese quickly responded, shutting down what she called Beisner’s “racist” accusations and stating that she was simply “setting boundaries.”
‘You’re right. I am kind. It’s not nice. I don’t do anything I don’t feel comfortable doing. I set limits. I understand that I have the right to say no. Goodbye,” the certified life coach responded.
Another user chimed in and questioned Cerese about her feeling of “discomfort.”
‘How did that make you uncomfortable? What feeling did you have? the user wrote in response to Cerese’s follow-up.
Cerese then urged the questioner to “go watch the movie The Color Purple,” a 1985 film depicting the life of an African-American woman who survives incredible abuse and bigotry in the first half of the 20th century.
‘When you’re done, ask some of your black friends, if you have any, how they feel about this post, that movie, their day-to-day experience and ask them if there’s any way you can help. and support them,” he added.
Beisner, an actress who appears in 2024’s Blood Magick, added fuel to the fire by claiming that Cerese was a “race-baiter” alleging that the content creator deliberately left out the word “white” in her initial post.
“It’s clear that the missing word at the bottom is “white,” as in “And yes, she was WHITE.” You can tell by the fact that he says he found it OFFENSIVE that the woman even asked for help in the first place, and for the rest of your comments and posts,” the Blood Magick actress wrote.

Natalie Jean Beisner is an actress and self-proclaimed ‘sane person’
“This woman is a race baiter to the nth degree who needs to get out of her own bubble and realize this happens to white people too.”
The long-running dispute has since garnered attention as other users have fueled the supercharged thread online.
—So it is “racist” to be a short white woman asking for help? commented one user.
Another commented: ‘I also asked tall people if they could get something tall, the joy of being 5ft. They have always said yes and we laugh about it. It had never occurred to me that anyone would find something like that offensive. People need to touch the grass.
‘I’m a six foot white man, I’ve been asked many times by older women to take things off the shelves. I have never said no. Because I’m not an idiot,” commented another.
While others have declared their support for the controversial Cerese meeting.
‘My black sister is right!!! Who the hell approaches a stranger in the store for help? The audacity smh. I’d be offended too!’ commented one user.
“That you attack an entire race of people over this woman’s issues says a lot about your character,” another said of Beisner’s “racist” accusations.
‘When you say “black people need to get over themselves,” that makes you a racist. Period,” commented another.
However, some users blamed the entire ordeal on the current “tense” climate seen in the United States today.
Cerese quickly responded, dismissing Beisner’s “racist” accusations, stating that she was simply “setting boundaries.” ‘You’re right. I am kind. It’s not nice. I don’t do anything I don’t feel comfortable doing. I set limits. I understand that I have the right to say no. Goodbye,’ the certified life coach responded.
The long-running dispute has since garnered attention as other users have fed into the supercharged online thread.
Another commented: ‘Whites and blacks obviously live in two different Americas. Yes, the black woman has a right to feel some way, especially with the way racial tensions are in America right now. It’s not normal to simply approach a stranger in a store and ask for help.
Another said: ‘I’m tall. I have no problem helping someone who asks me nicely. Or offer when I see the need. Sometimes it’s not even a question of height but of flexibility.
‘Hypersensitive people feel the need to present their general feeling of being offended as a strength. It is not. Weakness shines through, along with bad manners and the need to feel superior. It can happen to anyone.
‘However, I will add that if a balanced person senses an ulterior motive or feels uncomfortable with a request for help (in the current climate and obviously taking note of the individual), simply saying, “I would rather not” is cold but acceptable. .’
