(597 posts)many threads now about Black people on DU tired of the DU collective and Juries telling us how we should feel, interpret and view events. specifically events about our communities.
Should not be a surprise DU is not a place for African american voices or thought unless it 100% totes the established white liberal line. Even when lots of the polices pushed by many in power in the progressive movement wont/dont help our communities. We need school reform (not necessarily union busting but it gets tiring when the poor schools always get the lower preforming teachers and resources and no one cares until Charters and private options start wanting access to the funds the public system has been unable to educate our children with then all of a sudden they care about the shitty schools they let decay and rot over the last 20 years) Then if you even suggest that alternative forms of education outside of the NEA controlled public school system you are flamed here.
Look we are tired of being told to sit on our hands or that mother democratic party knows best.
