I tried. I really tried, but between the multiple pages and sleep training a 6 month old for naps, I couldn't hang. I figure someone will give a concise, albeit probably inaccurate summary at some point. That'll do.

I think it's pretty much impossible to make that thread concise.
Well, then, the summary will definitely be inaccurate! LOL. I figure I'll catch up tonight during a MOTN feeding. I do want to read it! I really do!

It's maybe the most emotionally-charged, terrifying thread in existence.
It's like the message-board equivalent of the scene in that comet disaster movie Deep Impact where the woman and her father are facing the biggest tidal wave ever.

I would be careful of what you say here because she may have you sent to jail, as she usually does when people cross her.
or even scarier, she may just whip out her chequebook and make a donation in your name!
I'm still waiting to hear back from Girls Inc. about my plaque. Since it commemorates a many-year capital campaign, I want to make sure they spell my name right!
I thought she was a teacher? See? Fucking confused.
"In the other corner: We have have a slightly right of center brainy OC beach girl through and through AfricanAmerican pampered princess with a dash of German stubbornness. She's got the equally cushy job of lady who lunches, an even more expensive higher education price tag as she collects college degrees for the hell of it to avoid growing up. She's armed with a sharp tongue, insider information on almost every topic, and the ability to load and stack data to fool the general public. She doesn't care to break the glass ceiling because it would cut into her nap, beach, and shopping time. She's tiny as fuck, which makes her extra scrappy despite years of tennis and etiquette lessons to "calm her down, and be more ladylike, especially on the two occasions in her life when she's ever lost any challenge". Despite this, she's been the leader of every club, org., and company she's ever joined. She's sponsored by Teach for America, cushy Jesuit education where they have free valets on campus to park students cars, and Catholic Lite guilt surrounding the use of Bootstraps! Her rally song is a bitty mash up of Little Surfer Girl, by The Beach Boys, and All I Do is Win, featuring Luda!"
Not gonna lie. This is when I stopped reading. I... well. I just can't.
But like Rex said, they are two separate things. Her valid points about race and being a woman of color in America are getting lost in all the other stuff, and it's hard to tease those points out when they're in the middle of a wall of rambling text.
