(24,544 posts)She (along with just about every other person of color here) has seen firsthand what happens when black folks here try to talk about the really obvious, blatant stuff that we see white people, particularly white liberals, doing. She was even the recipient of an epic, mega whine thread in direct response to her that got hundreds of recs even though it COMPLETELY distorted what she'd said in order to gain proper sympathy from the good folks here. Needless to say, that it was an eye opening experience, and I think particularly for her.
And what's so bad about it is that bravenak is FAR more conciliatory than some of the rest of us are. Got sent a link where one of the biggest assholes here invited her to their summer home or some shit because she's one of the 'good ones' and I guess they wanted her to be the only blackling here that would play with them. A lot of us are just like the person in the OP, we are so done trying to pretend to respect people that are just utterly counterproductive and clueless and seem ever so proud of that.
It's always the one's that cry foul the loudest.
Ain't THAT the damn truth.
