artislife's JournalWhat I believe to be the real issue
* this has been written and rewritten and what I really wanted to post is stuck in my One Note, probably never to see the light on this site.
Suffice to say. Having NonPoC lecture others of the effects of whatever to other people feels like a hijack. If there are no PoCs here willing or wanting to argue this point, then so be it.
I would hate to read this kind of thing in regards to Latinos. The way I would find it less ----patronizing, would be to ask for agreement from someone of the offended party.
There are PoC posters here who agree that West is "vile". Link to those posts and add on. If you feel he is "vile" say that, but don't start to speak for the group. The group, like most minorities have gut reaction to having someone from the majority explain their reactions or emotions. We are all perfectly capable of explaining our own experience, there is no need for a third party to interpret it for the masses.
And I like the poster, I just don't think this has crossed her mind.
And by the numerous OPs and posts
I am quite sure that either you don't read the replies to queries or you don't understand them.
Q. Why is the sky blue?
A. A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look toward the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colors because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.
Q. Why is the sky blue?
A. Uh, see answer above.
Q. Why is the sky blue?
A. Well the first answer is perfect, but I will tell you how I would say it in other words. The sky appears to be blue because it is the way the light reacts to our eyes. That information is then sent to our brain and it interprets it in such a way.
Q. Why is the sky blue?
A. It is true that the sky being blue depends on many factors. If someone is color blind, is their blue the same as the standardized definition of blue? And if that is established, how do they establish it?
Q Why is the sky blue?
A. I don't care what color the sky is. I care that the sky has oxygen and an ozone layer.
Q. Why is the sky blue?
A. REALLY?? Because God likes that color best. stomps off
Q. Why is the sky blue?
A. I question your curiosity to why the sky is blue.
Q. Why is the sky blue?
A. It's blue just to mess with your mind.
Q. Why is the sky blue?
A. In this dimension or the one you inhabit?
Q. Why is the sky blue?
A. Asked and answered. Next.
Bernie addressing the racism against Latinos
using us as the fall guy to why the economy collapsed.
The Syrian Crisis started by climate change
http://www.unilad.co.uk/articles/this-cartoon-succinctly-explains-the-background-to-the-syrian-conflict/Why were Syrians flooding into cities, that caused an overload on water, jobs and opportunities. This caused a protest by a small handful of youth....
Is this really what is behind all the migration that is happening out of the Middle East and Africa? We, as a nation and as a part of the posperous West, owe these migrants/refugees a lot. We destroyed the climate.
Had to do my first block email
I got two emails last night from a newly booted (again) member who likes vanilla. Ha!
But watched the new Feel the Bern video and feel so sorry for H supporters who don't have a candidate that inspires this much excitement.
