Keep Strong!
You too!! It is so ridiculous that this is still happening. And folks want to tell me that it's the media that keeps racism going, that it really doesn't exist, blah, blah, blah! Ain't privilege great?

Now what board games do you hear some femmes go for the jugular when played?

Hello to you my Sisters and Brothers of Color.

So the latest foolishness that happened/is still happening with our sister Shirley Sherrod got me thinking again about how we treat our own. Once again it seems that we (general statement here) have a tendency to kill our own before non-people of color have a chance. Why is this? Is it because we want to make sure that we don't get accused of being partial to our own? Is that we work extra hard to show we can be tough too? Is it self-hatred? Is it some hybrid? I have my own theories but want to hear yours.

So grab your beverage of choice, something to eat and let's sit down and toss this around.

I am upset over Obama not addressing anyone over this, I am sad for this poor woman, and I am downright pissed off with Fox.

I don't think an apology would rectify what damage has been done, not only to this woman but to this country, though they have proved it to be false a seed of doubt has been planted (look in our own community) and there are white folks who will let that seed spread and this kind of shit will continue. I feel FOX needs to be held accountable for their lies and fear spreading propaganda.

One of the negative effects is POC being extra careful, extra cautious about how they treat their own. People either go overboard trying to avoid even the hint of impropriety or they ignore it all together in the name of sticking together.

This situation really got to me because "we" should know better than to just jump the proverbial gun. Yet it seems too often we really do take down our own before getting the facts so that no one can say we were partial.

ugh!
