I'm going to drop this here...

[Martin Eden]

24. "I'm reading the same things you are, I'm white, and I'm not offended"

Neither am I.

But I am very, very concerned this is driving a wedge betwen people who are natural allies and very much need to behave like allies in the struggle against a system that is increasingly being run by and for the privileged few.

Our inability to get over hurt feelings and work effictively together as a coalition could very well result in a Republican winning the White House -- and that hurts all of us in ways that go far beyond feelings.

That potential consequence should be more than enough for all of us here to engage the rational part of our brains and work together to prevent that from happening.

K&R for the OP.
