Don’t waist time agruing back and forth, especially if no one is trying to reach common ground. After awhile it just seems silly. You can’t always change the minds of everyone or expect them to see things from your perspective,thats just the way the world is.

And NO I don’t mean accept the worst because no one can make a difference…I’m just saying the bickering is a little hilarious, by now I’m sure no one is willing to reason. And since its not happening here, your best bet is to just move on. Its the internet, what more do you expect.

Hello,
I was recently introduced to the ABL chronicles during the Hal Sparks radio program. Talk about serendipity! This site is informative, yet entertaining. Like a delicious mixture of hilariously witty satire topped with fruity rainbow sprinkles of reason :-) I love the content, the post, and the opportunity to engage w/ Bloggers. And, ironically, I happen to be a working class black woman.(@ WarrenAZ) I’m a RN, wife and mother of 4 amazing and beautiful children. Yet, I don’t feel “excluded” when I visit this site. Contrarily, I feel sense of community. A community that includes and empowers me. I use this website as a resource. A resource that provides me w/ tools in the form of knowledge. And, that knowledge is not a burden! That knowledge is the home of facts, the niche of wisdom, and……The vehicle to social progress. (@ WarrenAZ) Therefore, at the very least, it represents access or opportunity to grow. Perhaps one might take a moment, take note and learn the differences b/w exclusivity and thought provoking, mind challenging view points. Try to understand that offering empowerment is not imposing burden. And, in my humbled opinion, take a long, hard look in the mirror. You might begin to see the structural framework of your glass house of self important pretentiousness :-)

It is. I’m just going to block the trolls. They aren’t contributing anything & have no interest in actual dialogue.

The part where you really just came here to miss the point would be hilarious if it wasn’t so sad.

Because people who post online don’t do anything offline? Oh wait. Use this post as an example of whatever you like. Be sure to include your comments where you refuse to listen to the point of the post & keep arguing points that don’t apply. Either way you won’t be posting here again.

arynda,

I’ve had the pleasure of debating Race Realists for years, in person not online. I know when I’m being baited, when the opposition can’t support their position, and when they’ve given up. I’m not interested in keyboard activism, I prefer working with actual people where I’m held to a standard on a consistent basis. I don’t assume that everyone has a computer, internet, or the time to read the posts that might or might not apply to their experience. I will be using this post as an example of Ivory Tower hand-smacking.

karnythia,

Is it possible to close comments on this thread? I find it horribly improbable that TWO perfectly unreasonable and belligerent people would show up at the same time on a months-old thread.

One wastes time privilege-splaining that she shouldn’t have to learn about things that are offensive to other people. She refuses to listen.

The other, I’m not sure she knows what she wants. She doesn’t want to effect any change of her own. She just wants to defend the poor white people that she believes to have been horribly abused by this blog post. She cares not to write about her own opinions, but can repeatedly post her inchoate thoughts here. She’s been told that she can represent her own experience online just like you do yours, but she is not listening.

The short version is this is getting old.

See, you all have it wrong. We should be thanking The Mitt for trying to help a fellow student toughen up for the hard world to come!

So the best you can do is call me a troll and assume I’m posting under 2 names? I can live with that especially since the points I’ve raised still haven’t been addressed. If white/non-black women decided to omit black women from their literature entirely you’d call them racist. Flawed as it is they are being inclusive. Instead of ensuring the integrity of your writings to serve as a template you scold them while you do the same; misrepresent the diversity in the black female population by using your limited experience with humanity as a barometer. Since you’re black that keeps non-black women from critiquing you and your privilege in tact. I’m all for white women not writing about us at all. This’ll create a standard of quality for black women who take it upon themselves to speak for the rest of us without using white women as a decoy.
