I got sick and tired over the whitesplaining
I got sick and tired over the blatant racist posts here
I got sick and tired over AA's being run off this forum
I got sick and tired over the blatant racist post on John Lewis' FB page
I got sick and tired over being accused of not caring about AA issues because I am white when I very much care because my beautiful grand daughter is Black.
I got sick and tired over AA's mental health being questioned because they don't support a specific candidate.
I got sick and tired over the condemnation of Black Lives Matter
And now, I am just plain gawd damned tired because I finally figured out that no matter what I say, nothing matters here. I will take my fight locally because I won't be dealing with some anonymous racist poster, the racist can deal with me face to face.

Do you mean to say that people who say "feel the bern" (i.e. many Bernie supporters) are KKK-style racists?
Just trying to understand your point.
p.s. I am undecided and personally don't care for the saying "feel the bern" either, but would never in a million years interpret it like you are implying.

I'm one of the group hosts and don't think I've seen you post back here before.
Be careful because once you post here you are target.
friendly warning from a group host.

(17,537 posts)I wanted to give the poster an opportunity to explain and/or self-delete.
I hope I really won't be a target but I rarely post anything close to alert-worthy. I make an effort to be civil and go away from DU if something really gets my blood pressure up. There is a lot at DU that pisses me off but I try to use it as a learning opportunity.
Anyway good day to you.

(31,681 posts)Survived a jury - for stating I'm hostile to a particular candidate.
I was accused of racism and classcism too.
They would never dare call me a racist on the open boards because I've been very clear about my racial background (dad black/mom white) and that my husband is a white immigrant.
They only have the ovaries or testicles to do it in an alert.
Same as it ever was for black women in America. Same as it ever was.
And if that isn't nicey nice kissy kissy civil -
Try being black in this country.
This country isn't civil to us.
