17. Put yourself in my shoes - let me bring you up to speed

Me, Number23's, kwassa's, starry's etc. etc.

In the past two months we've had three Group Hosts Alert Stalked into
'submission': 1strong, Bravenak and Blue Tires.

^^ Uh - the Group has been around even at DU2. How shameful that I had to post that. We aren't 'new' - in every sense of the word. BlueTires elected to host the group at the beginning of DU3^^


Group Host - Please read re SOP And Alerting hosts

Finally - I direct you to this thread in a Group of which both YOU and the OP are a member of in good standing - although I think one of their hosts asked the op of this thread to delete their thread:

Things I disagree with -

a few HRC supporters manipulated a few AA group members into thinking that most, if not all, Bernie supporters were racist - no we are NOT easily manipulated. That's just plain silly. It's also extremely tone deaf to the THREAD of hatred in America since late 2007/early 2008 that black folks have had shoved down our throat. What happened in those years? Think back. If you step outside of your comfort zone - it will suprise you what is really going on in black America. We aren't the docile little idiots the majority would like to believe we are. We are more Shug Avery than we are Prissy. That's the fact of it (two characters in literature).

This -
amount of the worst behavior is being perpetrated by ratf***ers, not by real Bernie supporters - You are free to believe that - doesn't make it true. But it's a free country!

This -

think I was targeted as a BS supporter today. I was banned without
a warning from the AA group. I was called an asshole. I posted my despair in GD and it was immediately alerted and jury voted 4-3 to hide.

- You know - I even TOLD the poster that I wasn't even following the rule in the first thread that I created. It's like - some folks think that it's just peachy keen in the AfAm group and we don't get intruders, alert stalking, SOP Stalking . . .

I don't owe that poster anything! Didn't then - didn't now. Just one of the FOUR User Names blocked since Wednesday evening . . . look at my first link in response to you. Do you see how UNDER ATTACK this group has been the past month and half or so?????

All of his/her posts are there to see. Zero empathy chip, zero understanding and a total lack of caring that bravenak is a cherished member of this group!

What was I SUPPOSED to do? Let the members tear into that person? No way no how. Wasn't going to get every single member of this group put on time out.

Finally- 1strong black mans post from a year ago . . . You never knew we existed until a few days ago I guess -

122. Actually, and sadly, that no longer bothers me much anymore ...
It bothers me far more when liberals tell me that economic justice will cure this.

^^^^ Lather rinse repeat. ^^^^^^ A bit down - you'll see me in agreement with him. If I have to choose the 99%, the rich, or the 'others' - I'm picking the 'others'. And that includes far more than black Americans.
