The stalking has continued for weeks, as have the ascribing of ugly ulterior motives. Both violations of the TOS. This is simply one small example of what's been happening with the majority of my posts for a long time now. It has to end.

How do you feel about BLM protesters chanting "black power"? [View all] BlueNoMatterWho Jul 2016 OP

I have no problem with it. I don't think it is a threat. You need power to solve problems. upaloopa Jul 2016 #1

White people already have power gollygee Jul 2016 #2

I understand your position. I do believe black people do have at least some power when you look at BlueNoMatterWho Jul 2016 #3

As a whole in this country gollygee Jul 2016 #4

Agreed. I just wish our current leadership could have made a bit more difference for BlueNoMatterWho Jul 2016 #5
