(14,886 posts)Ethnic Greek-American & Ukrainian-American white woman has been voting Democratic Liberal & Progressives all her life, while educating herself about African-Americans lives for decades (books, articles, radio shows, tv) to improve being an ally.
Also pushing for Dems to live up to efforts to create social justice in new legislation, and removing suppressive old legislation.
Commenting back to racist comments from people thinking that I agree with them.
Always trying to do my best, and always learning.

I remembered DU's name from 20 yrs ago, and was amazed and delighted to see it thriving! Joined up. 😉
