(2,034 posts)and because of how I am seeing DU treat the BLM people. I'm going to stop posting for a while on DU. I have spent the last 24 hours trying to get non people of color to understand why folks like myself are strongly support what the BLM people are trying to do. It breaks my heart to see so many anti BLM threads on DU this weekend that it has turned me completely off from even wanting to post. I'm starting to get sour on debating people any more.
For the first time in my life I feel like I have a target on my back now. I do not feel safe posting on Democratic Underground any more. Every time I have tried to get someone to understand what it is like to be black in the USA in 2015, I just feel like I am talking to a brick wall and then to come back on here and find out one of my favorite posters can't post anymore? All I can think of is the movie 1984.
1984 is real here in 2015. So until I see improvement towards the BLM people and black people in general, this is my final post on DU. I just don't feel safe in participating in politics any more. I just can't. Sorry everyone.
