It got so thick that I had to take a break ... and as I was walking, it struck me ... We have officially enter a strange place where white DUers are doing the same stuff that if they were Black, some would be calling them out for "Playing the race card".
When it comes to Black grievances, we have to point to exact and specific language that is unquestioningly racist in nature, lest we be dismissed as being "perpetually perturbed" or "race-naggers", seeing insult where none exists; but, these white DUers are basing their entire claim on their interpretation of they found, having read between the lines of implied statements made by Black DUers (and our allies) ... And, to make matters worse, unless these aggrieved, and offended, DUers were in Seattle, the comment couldn't possibly have been directed at them!
This is Strange Space we find ourselves.
