Jury Results for Boston Bean's hidden OP

It's OK to post racist and/or sexist stuff, because reasons.
It's NOT OK to call out racist and/or sexist stuff, because that is offensive.

I saw leftofcool's response to that OP (the one BB was replying to) just got a hide as well. And of course BB gets another hide for discussing it.

The jury system is out of control, and so is/are the asshat(s) alert swarming BostonBean.

I never realized how racist some Democrats can be. This place has been eye-opening.

"It's not REAL racism."

- former DUer (w/ 2,000+ posts, at the time of his tombstone)

all too often this inaccurate interpretation of freedom of speech is the justification for leaving crap like that.

the immigrants.

I pointed out some truth about white folks in general down there and I was silenced.

Then I pointed out a white guy in Ferguson doing some shit, my theory was he was undercover, I was silenced for that (he was on the TV doing it, I guess I cant talk about it though)

I pointed out that some people go out of their way to have an issue with Bravenak, I got 3 hides in ONE day on that, just the other day.

Jury system is so ridiculously broken that it will be the death of some of us actual liberals.

usually, but not always.

But word choices matter on 4-3 hides versus 3-4 leaves.

.... are the jury votes.

posts harsh truths. This is going to have major blowback down the road.

I can just sense it.

1) Admitted to ourselves, and each other that yes we too can be racist and probably are and definetely were at some point in our lives and could not manage our own racism

2) Came to believe that instead of telling AA's and other POC how to think, feel and act, we should instead...listen

3) Made a decision to turn over our defensive knee-jerk reactions and action to the care of educating ourselves about whiteness and what that means

4) Made and searching and fearless moral inventory of our racisms

5) Admitted to our friends, family including AA and POC friends and family the exact nature of our racisms and encouraged dialogue and conversation.

6) Were entirely ready to have all racisms removed from our character

7) Humbly asked POC and other fellow anti-racists to call us out on our racisms to help remove them

8) Made a list of all persons we had harmed by our racism, and became willing to make amends to them ALL.

9) Made direct amends where possible, and where not possible, listened to POC about what would, and would not work in making those amends

10) Continued to take personal inventory of our racisms, and when we are racist, promptly admitted it.

11) Sought through community action and self-reflection to improve our additudes and outlook and race and racisms, making the battle against racism part our daily lives

12) Having had social conscience awakening as a result of these steps, carry the message to fellow white people and practice not being racist in all our affairs.

BTW--I just signed up for medium..

Love number 11!


(And I love your attitude!)
