Not the aa forum. I mean du. People have said so many hurtful offensive and insulting things today. And no one is listening to reason. I simply do not understand why people create such a hostile environment for people of color in this way. It is so disheartening. I am quite certain that I dont need to give examples in this group. The rest of you that don't get it never will I'm afraid but I promise to keep fighting them until I'm banned.

edit: had to include more than one day to this.
