"I learned about how some civil rights orgs in the '60s finally kicked the white folks out because they were doing exactly what she complained about."

Ah yes, absolutely. If we were still living in 1960 I'd completely agree with Treecy. In fact, there are a lot of things that I'd see very differently. But thank God, we're not! So today, I think we need to, as you so eloquently put it, SPEAK THE FUCK UP!šŸ˜„

As I said to Treecy, the idea that minorities need "permission" to speak is no good, and it's an idea that whoever the "oppressors" are, be it men or white people or straight people, aren't going to dispel. We've become very good at look outwards for people to blame, but it's past time that some people looked at themselves too.
