See Brother Khasm ... i think where we're running into the problem is ... and what's causing you all so much angst ... is that he said he was white ... for he's really not said ANYTHING that has not already been said by other black people here. The problem seems to be that it's all tied up in the fact that he's white, and saying it.
There are so many posts here that i've had to squirm inside myself to keep from banning, attacking, stabbing a Member ... that claimed to be black ... because what they were saying could so easily be considered disrespectful ... but i gotta challenge myself to allow all opinion ... and actually wait until that opinion grows to a level worth killing someone over.
There are Members here right now, that if you didn't believe they were black, you'd swear they were white ... just based on what they say ... but they are not attacked, subject to this mob mentality ... like someone who says they are white might be.
It's almost like, if a person is honest ... and says they are white ... yall go krazee.
But if they say they are black ... and talk krazee ... all is well.
I feel yall on the white thing ... how it might peeve you more ... but i can't fix that for yall.
It goes back to managing based on race ... and i can't do that ... and neither can you ...
We have to look at the statement ... and say ... if a black person said this ... would i want them out?
The chances are great that you would not ... for you've never advocated for that to my knowledge.
Love You!
