My skin color

Such a sweet child

Hands up don't shoot. Hands up don't shoot. Hands up don't shoot. Hands up don't shoot.



I was told on a hide, that I was not allowed to speak for people of color. Actually, I speak with them. Never at them. Yet I was told to STFU by a jury member. If my voice is not wanted here, I want the members of AfAm to tell me so. I will not listen to crap from jury members.

I HAVE NEVER DISRESPECTED A MEMBER IN AA!

[sheshe2]

2. Yes I am.

Do you have a problem with that and this OP?

Your point?

[sheshe2]

4. I have been clear on DU that I am WHITE!

I post in this group a lot.

Members know me here. They know my skin color and bless their sweet hearts they still allow me to post.

I have friends here and love them to pieces. Lol~ I have been honest....you not so much.

My point is that you should be open about that before you post about African American lives.

I'm Latina born in South America with an American father and I really don't need anyone telling me about my life experience who hasn't lived it.

So. I do believe you should delete your response in AA. I am welcome here, are you?

26. I don't see the need for anyone here to proclaim their race...

....before they speak up for ANY other American(s), black or white.

29. that's news to me, I just learned it now

and the OP most definitely suggests they are speaking of their 'own' skin color

[JustAnotherGen]

31. No she doesn't

Now I'm responding to you as a group host -

Step away from this thread. Don't post anything else to it. Your post - in light of the fact that not one but TWO Group Hosts have clarified for two other posters what the content of the thread is long before you posted your response . . . did not have positive intent.


In this Group - we will look at the perceived intent of a post/poster.

I'm asking you politely - back away.

41. that is presuming white people don't or should not stick up for racial equality. WRONG-

it is literally our mess to fix. That is not going to happen if white people give themselves this "easy out"- by claiming there is something wrong with speaking in solidarity with POC if you are white.

I know the difference between speaking in support and sticking up for people and telling them what to do or making it about me. Many people here claim not to see the difference, and it's bullshit designed to silence people. Nope. Not happening.

5. If black people don't have a problem with sheshe's posts about black lives, why do you?

[sheshe2]

8. Thank you.

Bravenak, heaven05. They both wrote me.

Hurts me they are gone for now. I will miss there voices. Makes me cry.

Number23. Yup, this place sucks. I may be the next one hidden. Some don't like me much. All my hides are about the Pres and AfAm. Every damn hide.

BLM, not so much on DU, not much at all, So sorry.

Yet. I believe we will see a revolution. I want to believe this.

Love you~

[Number23]

10. Heaven has completely walked away from this place. Lord, you should have SEEN the names he

called these people around here in his PM to me. They would make the devil blush!

He may be back after the primaries but I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't see him even then. And keep in mind, Heaven05 was a SANDERS SUPPORTER until he, like bravenak and a slew of others here could not reconcile their support for Sanders with the vileness of so many of his supporters.

[sheshe2]

15. You know heaven far better than me.

I woke up to his PM. So sweet to me, I wanted to cry. He actually thanked me for my posts and support. Daymn it makes me cry. Another voice leaves the board. 23, I love him.

PM me if you wish to share any of his post. He was a voice I loved and respected.

Yes, I knew, they were 2 Bernie supporters that never mattered to me. They were always kind.

Dayum this place to hell.

[Skidmore]

20. I haven't been on DU very much lately and

I wondered what had happened to him. I understand his dilemma.

[MADem]

35. They're picking off our DU kin, one by one.

Ironic that they're going after the SANDERS supporters (or former supporters, after the "fan" swarm/bullying they receive) first!

[sheshe2]

38. Sad isn't MADem.

Our DU kin being tossed away. Railroaded off the board. Yes, they are going after BS supporters that are fed up.

[blackspade]

25. Heaven05 is gone too?

WTF!?

[Cha]

9. You can't speak for African Americans then can you? I see a Host of this AA Group has

spoken up for she.. so that ends discussion. She doesn't need to go around posting "I'm white" to satisfy those who don't get it.

It's incredible that you would want to stop her from posting poignantly beautiful pics of African American kids, anyway.

What's it to you? too bad if it upsets some people on here that she is dedicated to supporting the struggles of African Americans in our Country.. particularly focusing on Police Violence since Trayvon Martin's murder.

11. Thank you Cha.

Thank you.

BLM!!!!

12. You're welcome, she~

I've never seen such inane monitoring.. anywhere!

13. Perhaps you misunderstood. The title of the OP refers to the sign the child is holding.

"My skin color is not a crime." Sheshe is not talking about herself.

[Skidmore]

21. My question is

why this is such an issue with you. She is a good and decent person who respects people. Perhaps you could learn a bit from her.

[George II]

24. If whites, latinos, asians are not permitted to speak for African Americans' lives in this country..

....we have a bigger problem than anyone has begun to imagine.

[sheshe2]

37. Good post George.

[ismnotwasm]

6. ???

And???

[Cha]

7. Yes, sheshe is White.. your point?

[LeftOfWest]

16. Did not know this.

thanks.

Says ALOT.

okay. n/t.

[JustAnotherGen]

17. No it doesn't - it says that poster

Did not read the content of the post.

She took the title and her knowledge of the poster and made trouble.

SheShe is always welcome back here. She is a strong member of this group and an ally to our concerns about what is happening in America.

Her OP was beautiful as they always are in the AfAm group.

19. Thanks for not giving me any trouble

[sheshe2]

40. Thank you JAG.

BTW, you make an excellent host here in AA.

[Sheepshank]

33. really?

I cannot believe you are trying to make an issue of the skin color of a BLM supporter.

It appears since you didn't tune in a while ago to something that is no big secret, you feel you have been mislead? I would counter with, open your eyes and look around. There was no big deception going on, just the ignorance of someone who failed to look around to see what is clear and obvious.

14. Sweet pics, she.. Mahalo, We won't be forgetting what's important here.

[BumRushDaShow]

28. That sweet child's face!

Don't let them get to you she.

[Spazito]

30. Beautiful OP...

and heartbreaking as well. I love your OPs, they move me sometimes to tears while opening my eyes more and more to why we all need to stand up and be counted. The first photo in your OP took my breath away, no child should ever, ever have the fear this beautiful child expresses.

[gwheezie]

34. I find she's posts to be very positive

I look forward to them no matter where it's posted.
I'm white, fairly new to du and this is my preferred group.

[lib87]

36. I Don't Find Your Posts Problematic at all sheshe2

I'm a quiet poster but I appreciate them.
