I personally am not of any fear to speak..even to the DU'er, whom some talk a good game, but don't show up, with substantive commentary that truly exemplifies the nature of Democracy, and the rudimentary truths that is necessary for Equality to become and be 100% FULL CIRCLE, WITH FULL DEPTH as a highly promoted PUBLIC NARRATIVE!!!

To date, I'm not impressed with this site, and it is far short of what I thought it would be and what it would present, in promoting Democratic Narrative and Being Pro Equality without question and without reserve, and certainly without contending points that seem to want to challenge "equality dialog and conversations that discuss the realism of the racism within society" are elements within the challenges to what we claim to want of Democracy. Even when it comes to discussions of race, which is the core of what divided this nation in the first place and divides it even today... people in this site balk at such discussion and some come to challenge with aims to dismiss the truths of what is racism, what is the truth of the embedded history of racist ideology from the long history of Jim Crow influence that saturated itself in white american society. It too damaged by many means black society, in ways that still this day promote a uphill challenges in the midst of falling boulder of racism ignorance tumbling down upon them each and every step.
I'd have thought this site would be far more versed and involved to face every element of racism, including how the impacts of 100's of years of Jim Crow influenced white America and promoted the madness of white privilege mentality. But, truth is, I've seen that many are fine with it, until it reaches their doorsteps and into the deep confines within the mind, as I've seen many unfounded and confounding challenges when such commentary of OP's address the make up elements that are involved within the recesses that Jim Crow Ideals influenced, as well as the recesses within ways of living that white privilege influenced the thoughts about life and things.

I've mostly seen only post that can garner slap stick, jokes and puns, get a great bit of focus, substantive commentary generated by members who truly seek and make effort to talk about things that can promote in-depth Democratic Narratives, get glossed over and certainly is ignored with regard to REC's.. and all such things themselves tell a story, but many will deny that story, but their actions confirm the story being told.
