On that thread - and yes - I read and responded to it the other day - then tossed it aside . . .
And notice - who on there that 'CONTROLLED' the Trayvon Martin court case discussion threads are on there yet again?
I'm telling you -the one that as of today is just hovering around 1000K posts gives me the creeps. Like I wouldn't be surprised if he was sent over here by Storm Front. I think the racists are much more sophisticated than we give them credit for.
It's all part of 'chipping away' at people to recruit them for their cause.
Just look at those to Trayvon Discussion Controllers on that thread - and tell me I'm not right. But those two are VERY good and it's going to take a great deal of little pin pricks to get them a pizza delivery.

(Old me would've rushed first, thus not putting me in the position to have to follow her, God forbid if she, too, makes a left and it seems like I'm following her.) So door opens and I flirt, "Ladies first." She says, "This is not my floor." Then I assume she is missing her building card, so I pulled my card out to try to press her floor yet again. She says, "That's okay."
Then it hit me: "Oh God, she purposely held that information back." The door closed. It was a "pie in the face" moment. I laughed at it. Sort of.
Inside I cried. But if I cried at every insensitive act that goes on in the name of safety, I'd have to be committed to a psych ward. I've just taught myself throughout the years to just accept it and maybe even see it as funny.
