Related: About this forumGreetings, AA Group! Answer THIS.
After reading an article, a few not-so-simple questions occurred to my mind and I have come to this group to make it up (my mind, that is), as educating me is surely as much, if not more, important to you as it is to me. I know you will take your responsibility seriously. Have you seen the article? Probably you have not! It is "Why You People Should Think Twice Before Voting For Hillary Clinton."
I am broaching the subject here because no matter how often members of the AA group insist they are not Hillary supporters and do not appreciate every discussion ending up being about Hillary Clinton and what is wrong with PoC for not despising her as they should, obviously, my questions about Hillary are important to me and that is the main thing. But I am not one to mince. I am not assuming anything about anybody, simply acting on the courage of my convictions. It has taken great courage to come here with my convictions to ask my questions to you AA Hillary supporters. The problem is that my questions could maybe possibly be seemingly rather hostile and could potentially be seen as dismissive. I want to go on record prior to getting deeply involved. I am not here to mince, divide, stir, broil, offend, sow discord, dismiss, or create kerfluffles. I am here to demand answers and misunderstand them.
I know that this group seems to insist that people coming here to ask question should listen to AA voices on race-related issues, but I think you do not quite understand how ridiculously difficult it is "learn" and become "informed" (it goes without saying that "listening" is virtually impossible) so please bear with me if I sound immensely ignorant. I'm trying to be as civil as I can be with the large ignorance which is my unfortunate fate to deal with. I'm sufficiently educated not to be this massively ignorant, but I am, anyway. You could circumnavigate the globe numerous times without encountering anyone as willfully ignorant as I, then after you die wander the earth as a spirit holding a lit Jack 'o' Lantern for hundreds of years -- still you will not meet anyone more lacking in knowledge.
As for my questions ... I forget.

(496 posts)You really need to listen to me since it's obvious that you don't know better. I have been around kids all my life and sometimes you just need to sit them down and tell them what's good for them...Kids and pets...yeah, you just need to lay down the law and explain things to them...sometimes you need to show them the switch, or a rolled up newspaper, but you get my point, don't play ignorant.
You made me loose my train of thought...the bottom line is you *really* need to listen to the things I'm telling you since you have been blinded...kind of like when you hit your head - with a pipe or a brick.
You have been oppressed for so long you really don't know what is right and what is wrong. I think there is even a medical term for it: Willie's Wonka Syndrome, yeah, that's it. (I know it's true because I saw it on BET or TV ONE or was it at a COGIC (??) No need to thank me, I know how much you people appreciate me doing the hard work and research.
Now that I've enlightened you, I expect this thread to be kicked and rec'd at least 23,000 times, otherwise you will prove to me that you people don't really care about my needs or the needs of other great Americans who are trying to raise the tide for all ships.

p.s. I am going to steal Willie's Wonka Syndrome if you don't have a copyright on it...or even if you do, I'm sure you won't mind if I appropriate it.
