I don't even know. I think I actually stated that I was uncomfortable a few times. I got crickets. Lol. Why do you think I've been here forever and am still not an "Elder" poster? I take frequent breaks from you all. Hell, my main reason for sticking around now is that I don't want to miss that fuckwit Toledo's next appearance. You know those are random and fleeting given her love for the delete button.
People are always best at jumping on the bandwagon after there are a lot of people on it.

Lol that's sort of me too, I was not comfortable even posting when they were all here. I migrated over and really didn't uptick in posts until they left. What happened to SMO was vile.

does this mean people are finally going to stop posting that they are "listening and learning?" because I was starting to get concerned for my eye muscles.

It makes me nuts too because it's like the least possible thing you can do to participate in a thread about race without actually not responding at all.

and there were still people who insisted that we went a step too far in giving her the boot. She was hands down the most hateful little troll I've ever encountered. Just creepy and disgusting.
I'm about to get on the train so I just opened 17 tabs so I can read this. See y'all in an hour.
Ok, I'm off the train. I almost wish I hadn't read any of that. It makes me so fucking sick and angry that some of our posters go through that on this "enlightened" board. Like, what the actual fuck?
Some of those bitches need their fucking truth mirrors. Only problem is I suspect that they're the type to not care what they see looking back at them.

Fuck them.
Fuck them, indeed, man. That's the only way to <I'd love to say 'stop' but 'minimize' is disgustingly more realistic> this gross superior BS that exists. This bullshit has no place here. Ignorant asses need to find a new home, even those who "want to learn". If you haven't gotten it already, no, no you don't

Yeah, that's the part I really don't get. Everyone on here has internet access, so maybe they might want to consider "listening and learning" on their own time.
I sometimes get the vague sense certain people view this as akin to the adopt a granny program we had at my high school, except that in this case, the grannies have no interest in being adopted and educating people about life in the 1930's, and the high schoolers are actually grown women who are talking nonstop shit.
I just finished reading the whole thing, and holy fucking shit. I'm pretty disgusted that is seems like people wont, can't, (or don't want to?) Get their shit together.

Last night was the first time I've really had an opportunity to read what's happening over there. (And I still needed CloudBee 's help to keep up and absorb all of it. My jaw was not quite as open as my eyes, but close.)
I'm sort of without words. Any wise or good ones. I know not everyone comes from the same faith context as I might come from, but my friend posted these this summer and it continues to be on my mind.
From Proverbs 24 Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?
From Isaiah 58 “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
Absolutely, positively no excuse for me for silence, apathy or inaction.
I would like to repost these words over here from eclaires in case some people didn't see it.
One other thing: if you are white, you are most likely racist and your entire existence is awash with the privilege of being white. Your every experience and thought and interaction. Accept that. Let that permeate your every thought. Remember that when you are discussing race or anything tangentially or slightly related to race. Remember it when you are interacting with POC. Let it check your every thought and word.
Then maybe you can learn to do better and not be racist.
Although I would even delete "most likely" and make it simply "are." This has to be the set point for all of us.
This is straight up horse shit. Jesus Christ how hard is it to check yourself or, if you don't, own up to it and do better going forward? Clearly very, but it's not impossible for god's sake, so this is obviously willful ignorance. Fuck, man.

Oh, boyee.
MMM Gossip Train.
ALMOST as awesome as The Ghetto Nest. /pours one out
I blew that open. It wasn't racist (or was it). Additionally, stating that you're learning may sound tiresome in a way that I can't understand, since I'm white as hell, but I stand by the idea that it is good, if you're actually fucking doing it.
