...about themselves. Perhaps it makes for "convenience."

In the past I have outlined my 50 years of strong-left activism to a couple of doubters, only to have my honesty questioned in direct terms; it's gunz or no gunz to them.

I didn't know AfAm group postings or adherence to BLM issues was the mark of excellence in DU. Since you bring it up, I find (as have many DUers) that discussing racism or sexism in DU to be singularly unproductive. Other places, yes. But not here.

If you have a list of issues of concern to BLM, please list them and I will say "yay" or "nay" to them.
