Please don't lump us all together in this regard! Ohiogal May 2019 #3
If the OP isn't about you, it isn't about you. But there is definitely a problem with white women. WhiskeyGrinder May 2019 #4
If you read my post, you will see that I didn't lump all white women together EffieBlack May 2019 #5

I'm reading this book now called 'Dying of Whiteness.' PatrickforO May 2019 #18
I always thought it was a social disease but ismnotwasm May 2019 #25
I stopped reading at: Merlot May 2019 #19
If you hadn't stopped reading, you probably wouldn't have asked such a ridiculous question StarfishSaver May 2019 #20
It's a sexist phrase. Merlot May 2019 #21
Actually, it's not. At all. StarfishSaver May 2019 #23

Blaming the OTHER is what the RW does. It is beneath us. Ugly and ultimately ineffective. hlthe2b May 2019 #39

Again, deceptive. Re-read my initial post. I did nothing of the kind. hlthe2b May 2019 #43
But you keep doing it. StarfishSaver May 2019 #50
Asking for constructive solutions to working across differences and toward common goals is hardly hlthe2b May 2019 #53
My OP set out a constructive solution EffieBlack May 2019 #54
We'll have to agree to disagree StarfishSaver May 2019 #56
You could not be more wrong. Your assumptions only show you know nothing about me. hlthe2b May 2019 #58
Calling out people in certain groups for their behavior is not "group denunciation" EffieBlack May 2019 #35

"That will help" EffieBlack May 2019 #40
Don't put words in my or anyone elses mouth. It is not merely deceptive. hlthe2b May 2019 #42
I didn't put words in your mouth. I'm responding to exactly what you're saying EffieBlack May 2019 #45
You continually misrepresent what I have posted. I'm done. hlthe2b May 2019 #47
