What's going on Good People? How's everyone doing? Good to see folks coming in! Real good indeed! Here's some peach cobbler for anyone interested. Don't worry, I did not make it! I want you all to keep coming!
As to the bones, don't worry if you can't play. There's a few decks of cards around too. We could do spades, hearts, or something. What was it called when you had multiple tables of spades going - rise or fly or something like that? Let's keep the connection going whether playing a game or just having good conversation.

Something tells me you are more then capable of playing a pretty good game of Dominos. See, I spelled it correctly this time. Initially, I spelled it correctly then edited it without doing a spellcheck. When I saw your spelling of Dominos, I knew........ See you in L.R. Let's try out those Vietnamese Bones your boi speaks of.

It has been a while. How's everyone doing? To the folks in Oakland how are things for real?
Warning...I am about to vent! I'm coming in here to share this because you most of all will appreciate this...once again I am pulled over by the police. Why? Was I speeding, nope! Was my license plate expired? Nope! Why? You guessed it...for DWB! Yep, you guessed it...driving while black. Apparently it is against some law that you can't be driving a nice car AND coming from work late at night. And did the idiot not ask me where I bought my car and when? And did I not ask what is your badge number and when did you receive it? And then I have a conversation with someone that I will never know what it is to be a black man in America. While I may not know what it is to grow up from birth as a black man I sure have been pulled over multiple times since transitioning, had more women not of color try to blend into the elevator wall when I get on, clutch their purse when walking by them, etc, etc, etc. I know this isn't the transitioning thread but I needed to vent about this topic here a reason. ok, taking a deep breath and looking for the peach cobbler. and sweet potato pie. |

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! |

And this whole mess that happened to Mrs. Sherrod can't be undone. And it once again puts us in a negative light. It isn't easy being the first. Because your mistakes are magnified beyond belief. You don't have the luxury of making them. And unfortunately the one that the President and his administration have made is a big one. I am not happy at all that he wasn't clearer in how he responded to this error.

Do you feel this sort of thing puts us under the spotlight? Do you notice people of color treating other people of color differently when they are in a position of authority? Do you notice or feel extra guarded when you hear or read negative press about us? I think this is good discussion, especially for those coming up in the world.
Now I see there's some bones playing happening. What board games shall we play. And I want some peach cobbler dang it fresh out the oven with some ice cream. oh yes! |

You know, I think I may be one of the few people in America who doesn't know how to play poker. But I will watch. And while we're all at the table I have one request. Let's do our part to not let these voter suppression tactics work! We all know who these tactics are focused at. |
