And you're right, this is for LiberalStalwart. And BrewmanJax. And AspenRose (make sure you read that link. LS's post from a few days ago could have been cut and pasted from it). And Karenina. And MadMaddie and AngeeIsMad and SemiCharmedQuark (Latina) and StarbucksAnarchist (Indian) and nofurylike (white woman) and NanceGreggs and Uzybone and NatBurner and firedupdem (My GIRL!!) and QuietAmerican and BigotBasher and gclark and Jackeens and, and, and....

This place has never, EVER been strong on diversity. But the fact that this list contains so many people of color that would rather singe their fingers off than post here shows exactly how messed up everything is. Many of these folks were actually run off of DU and if some of these folks had their way around here, the rest of us with melanin that don't subscribe to their "Obama BAD!" like the good lackeys they desperately need us to be would be right behind them.
