2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Dear Black People, [View all]Freelancer
(2,107 posts)This line of protest is turning me off hard. And believe me, I want to be with you. I keep flipping that switch to on ... I read a little farther, and flip, there it goes again -- that old bull s#!% circuit breaker gets tripped again. And if a hard core white liberal like me is not being moved by the argument defending the BLM protest at Netroots, then I guarantee you something in your argument needs to be rethought.
I am never going to understand what you've been through -- no matter how much "damn truth" I listen to, or how much "damn truth" I witness being spat at politicians I'm interested in. It's just never going to happen. The best that can be hoped for is to keep people like me (white guys) on your side -- like pit crew. I'm willing to turn wrenches for you. Just stop throwing s#!$ at me. Alright?
