White fragility (lot of this around here recently!):

143. The poster question encouraged that

I had an encounter with her that made me come feeling like I had been conned by a gleeful troller.

I responded to what seemed like a critical, but reasonable, OP from her explaining what she believes Sanders and his supporters were doing wrong by criticizing President Obama policies and Clinton. I wrote a post in the same spirit asking honest questions in response.

She shot back by literally saying that I and other "white progressives: should just "shut the fuck up" and not mention anything that might be perceived by all black people as critical of either President Obama or Clinton. In other words we (and I supposed Sandrs) should be silent and hope that somehow black people would magically vote for him.

I would have responded reasonably had she explained that rationally, without the "shut the fuck up" and the implication that white progressives are all useless assholes who have nothing to contribute.

But she insulted me in a direct manner, So yea I responded in the same spirit of obnoxiousness. And I think she loved it. My sense was that "Ah yes, I've pissed off another one."
