The only goal I have on these forums is to give voice to my experiences and my opinion. I don't need this forum as a means to connect to the White community or "unlearn" my misguided ways. I am not here to "beat anyone up" unless you try to discount my experience...and then "it's on".
As much time as I spend with White people (and I don't live with men prior to marriage...but all of my significant others have been White or Asian...so I don't "dump" the issues of certain specimens of society on the innocent), I would never try to say that I know what it's like to be...oh a White woman...and what you go through is not real. Better yet, I don't have children....I would never get up and say "Oh this is how single mothers can improve their life". Uh-uh. I have no clue what it's like to hear babies crying at night and to come home after work to the job of raising kids...not a clue. So when someone comes up with "Oh Black people need to stop griping....we are all the same....please stop...I never had slaves." Ok, from our perspective it's just ridiculous. If you don't like hearing that...their is really very little I can do for you.
No doubt I have issues...we all do. But racism and finding unfounded faults with White people is not one of them.

translation: You're trying to rob me of my right to be aggrieved by what other people did, you aren't LISTENING to me, how could you possibly understand? I'm going to demand justice from the dog catcher and when it isn't delivered to my satisfaction, I'm going to call them racists too!!!
result: lala laa laaa I can't hear you - or-
"Sorry, Ma'am, I can't help you".
It also means, in the context of a presidential race:
"congratulations on your unholy victory for obama, having won by out lawyering delegates and not by popular vote. Maybe you'll get some blind loyalty from democratic party who will be as joyous as any bride attending her forced marriage. Obama didn't earn my vote, and earning it the
wrong way by trying to guilt me into it because he's black means for the first time in my life I might not bother voting. You don't care who I am, you only care about yourself."
To OP- seeing this dialogue go back and forth between miss shona and I, knowing what I had said at original post- that I would be criticized for giving constructive criticism, and again the race card be played, and would make people deaf, and feel even more justified to ignore what I was telling them. This is where liberal mentality makes them so oblivious to people its not even funny. Knee jerk reaction is to come out the gate swinging and guarded.
Easy to forget I'm a human being when you're in that mind, isn't it? Sometimes being too clever, you can think you've won when you really lost.
Definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result. By and large moderate dems like myself have all but given up reasoning with far left wing liberals. Moderate dems would criticize me, seeing no point in what I've done by trying to discuss this openly.
Liberals in dem party think they know better, and for all that education... this whole world is still all about them. They'll wake up once and for all to realize their outrageous conceit & manipulations, or Obama will lose to McCain.
I haven't had a president since clinton, and no matter which way this comes out, I won't have one for another 4 more years. I don't count because y'all want to lump me in with KKK, same way Bush lumped me in with blue state neglect policy sponsored by religious right. Good thing I seceeded from the union 8 yrs ago- country of one.
How's that for awareness of whites, dems, and your country, not just blacks?
