131. It was too easy to go there. Before the votes were even counted
before any facts were even checked. Skepticism flew out the window and there were multiple threads and posts cussing and insulting the black community on the basis of one MITOFSKY poll. As if we'd never been burned by that @sshole before.

Most of us get some kind of shame activated simply by talking about this, but, it was too easy to go there. And his effed up numbers are still being quoted here as if they are on stone tablets somewhere and as if they haven't been problematized, let alone debunked over and over.

What do you think? Or, what would you think if you gave a shit? A lot of people here were hurt by the way that went down. It was not only wrong but hurtful and divisive just at the moment we need to stay together and fight back. We really do this stuff to ourselves, finally, when we let ourselves be manipulated and so nakedly, too.
