In reply to the discussion: I'm Black. Old Blacks have failed us. It's time for Young Blacks to make our stand on Super Tuesday [View all]TeeYiYi
(8,028 posts)All of your wink wink, nudge nudge, secret handshake, 'not in front of the whites' bullshit was read perfectly clear, here in the GDP forum. I'm sure you get away with that kind of crap in your safe haven group because no one goes there anymore,... with so many eggshells and banishment threats to circumnavigate.
So, there's a 'black' conversation happening in GDP that you're unable to control and it's making you uncomfortable. You're trying to rein in the errant black guy, DU's 'new white hero', with offers of your email addy and/or phone number but he's just not following your lead...
Welcome to the real world, 1StrongBlackMan, where people of every stripe and hue discuss real world politics and issues with each other. In addition to old black voters, there are old white and latino voters too; and all are having an effect on the outcome of elections so it's a timely discussion, and one to be had by everyone...not just a select few in the privacy of their favorite safe haven group or echo chamber.
You want to have the discussion but you don't want anyone else to be included in that discussion... Get a grip. We're in the middle of a contentious primary election and heading into a precarious general election. This is exactly the time and exactly the place where we should be having this discussion.
