I couldn't read all seven pages but from what I've gathered liking someones post is now abusive and bullying behavior. Calling someone a crazy bitch however is not. Listen I've got the memo. I've tried to allay fears regarding what nefarious reason would cause me to "like" new and old posts and will continue to like posts as I see fit. This is a public message board.
For those who say I shut down dialogue:
You can't insult me and then expect I engage you in a friendly manner.
You can disagree with what I'm saying and still move on with your life. I disagree with a lot of the things I see here and yet I still had a great restorative weekend with family. That shouldn't be described as shutting down dialogue that just means I'm not going to entertain bullshit. I think Steve Urbanski should be charged with a hate crime and you don't. *shrugs* I think Beyonce/Oprah/Simone/Simone/Serena hate is really white women hating to see black women win but you disagree.
Much like zingermack(sp) or librarylady(sp) I post articles I think the peas should know about. Ignore those threads if current events bother you. You could also call me a crazy bitter racist bitch like everyone else and go visit another thread! Am I missing something?
For those who ask why I am still here: I am freeborn.
For peas concerned about the "crowd" I'll bring over:
If I wanted to invite a bunch of people who are as vehemently against racism (so if you are arguing with me does that mean you are for it?) as I am I would have already done so. Again I'll remind you this is a public message board. If you'd like to create a place where only white women can convene there is already a place for you somewhere else in the world wide web *shrugs*. Join them. They have cool costumes

But from what I have gathered (didn't read every post) you are wanting a dialogue about racism in America. Thats totally respectable. I would be willing to have that conversation with you....until you get to the bullshit that I highlighted. Comments like that is uncalled for and absolutely bullshit. You can't say you want to have a meaningful dialogue so our country can move forward and then throw out comments like that. You lose any and all credibility with me. There is an absolute problem with racism in America and today? Today you are contributing to it.

She doesn't want dialogue..that is the issue. She wants to lecture all of us on how we are responsible for our ancestors and all whites are racist in one way or another; whether we say we aren't. She wants to paint herself a victim without being victimized ON THIS BOARD. SHe holds us ALL responsible for her feelings and reactions.
Gina is right, it's a shit show and it's not worth it.

You know Olan, I have been in my fair share of shit shows over the years in regards to Muslims and Palestinian threads. You HAVE to have thick skin to put your opinions out in the public air because not everyone is going to think like you. But if you really want to make a difference to your cause, insulting people isn't the way to go. You have now lumped all of us "white women" together as having costumes. You don't know me and how I work hard in my life to combat racism. Makes me more apt to disregard your posts all together.

There is an absolute problem with racism in America and today? Today you are contributing to it. Exactly. I haven't insulted you Olan as far as I can recall. I refused to jump into the pile on. I defended your "liking" of comments. I read some of the links that you posted and I tried to advance the dialogue with a genuine conversation, and this is how you respond? I'd welcome you to invite any of your friends here that you share stories with, as I'd love to have an actual conversation with anybody interested in improving race relations, because clearly you haven't had a look in the mirror in how you're contributing to the problem rather than helping to work towards a solution.

They have cool costumes I like thoughtful dialogue, respectful discussions and don't mind doing some reflection on my own thinking and possible biases. What I have a problem with is broad sweeping conclusions, or inaccuracies. I don't recall anyone here saying they didn't think Urbanski should be charged with a hate crime. Just the opposite. And, if I remember correctly, he still may be charged with that, but they haven't finished evaluating. YOU are the one making it sound like they WON'T charge him, and assuming that we all don't think he should be. Not accurate. Disliking a particular person doesn't necessarily have anything to do with their race. While it may be a factor for some people, you are making a huge sweeping assumption that it is always BECAUSE of their race and white women not wanting black women to win. If you really want a discussion and true dialogue, you could come at it differently. All-inclusive generalizations do nothing to encourage people to engage in real thoughtful discussion.

Wow...you are reprehensible...unbelievable. People have short attention spans they are already over this thread and what olan said will be excused - again engaging isn't even worth it anymore I think many have realized the futility of engaging with Olan. I don't think her liking of posts is anything to get worked up about, though. And I say this as someone whose posts she has also liked. She obviously thinks I am a giant racist and a terrible person. I know she is wholly wrong on that count. There is simply no point in engaging.

I like thoughtful dialogue, respectful discussions and don't mind doing some reflection on my own thinking and possible biases. What I have a problem with is broad sweeping conclusions, or inaccuracies. And, might I add? I prefer to speak for myself. Some on this thread have made statements as if they are speaking for all of us. "The Peas." We are not a monolith. We are individuals from any number of different backgrounds and experiences. That's one of the characteristics of this message board that I value and that causes me to learn quite a bit. Do we really need to run the Olans of the world off? I have thoroughly enjoyed engaging with her over the years. I have been puzzled by the stridency of her posts lately, but I'd still hate to see her go.

If you'd be okay with women who look like me or have views like mine joining this message board then my comment about finding an all white message board WASN'T FOR YOU. If the kitten heel fits put it on *shrugs* Stop saying I've lumped everyone together when I haven't. I address each question/pea. Many of the responders are the same peas who come to my threads with an argument of any kind. Its like they literally follow me around waiting to be combative and distract. Its the same players. Ive asked the majority of them to limit their interactions with me and they've make a personal choice not to yet want to start call out threads. My comment was completely called for and I absolutely stand by it. This was a pile on thread ripe with personal attacks and I responded in kind.

Don't think I haven't noticed that since this thread was posted you have been randomly liking my posts on it off and on over and over up to and including yesterday. Yes, I noticed. No, I don't care.

I have only one question. Why has this thread, which is essentially a squabble between two members, been labelled 'politics'? Anyone can change a label to "politics" - so it could have been anyone who did it. Unless that person comes here and shares why she changed the label, there isn't an answer. The plus side is that if YOU want to remove the label, go to the OP and select "actions" in the upper right. On the drop down menu, select label. Click on "remove political label" and the label will disappear until/unless someone else changes it. Eta: you don't even have to go the OP to remove the label - the "actions" menu shows up on the bar with the navigation through the numbers of pages for the thread.

Everyone said what they said. *shrugs* We've tried various ways as a group to ensure everyone arrives on the same thread for later discussion *winks* and it's always the old ones who can't follow directions. Bumping it will help and we already know how much zookeeper and the peas hate when I like a comment or bookmark a thread. If anyone has any helpful suggestions outside of sharing it on Facebook or via email I would welcome it. gypsymama I could have given them the link but how incomplete would that picture be. Is the board closed for new members? Edit: . "When PoCs speak on racism, racist whites come out of the woodwork to whitesplain why history, statistical data and firsthand accounts proving the existence of racism is anecdotal. However their fictitious tales about being teased by the mean “black girls” in third grades as scientific fact. "The reality is whenever you’re a person of color speaking out against racism and white supremacy, it’s a safe bet that you will be on the receiving end of gaslighting. Gaslighting is defined as a form of psychological abuse in which the abuser attempts to manipulate the victim into questioning their memory, perception, and sanity. It is essentially the attempt of one person to overwrite another’s reality. Gaslighting also occurs every time a white person tells a person of color not to bring race into a discussion or when they accuse PoCs of playing the race card."

Is the board closed for new members? I logged out, just for you, to see. I didn't see anything within the NSBR that I don't see as a member. I couldn't reply to threads, obviously, but I could read them. Also, from the main NSBR page, all your friends would have to do is type "Olan" into the search bar at the top right and the list will filter to the threads that include your name. It was something like 9 pages total, I think. I know it's not as dramatic as bumping the thread, but I hope it helps you.

Why is bumping a thread dramatic? At most you've read the thread in its entirety and could breeze by it until it quickly moves back to page 2. Or you've not read it and can do so. See how For the record bumping a thread is usually used as a method to make a thread easier to find for someone who may not have seen it when it was trending. Yes right, exactly as I'm doing here. 2peasrefugees.boards.net/post/new/62203Bachelorette thread. The other one I mentioned

The beautiful thing is you could be wrong or right and it wouldn't change a thing. I've found this technique really freeing in my own life. Edit: This was never a diverse place to begin with but the intentional way MANY/MOST of you have gone about being unwelcoming to black peas is saddening. If you disagree with the many or most unless you've spoke out against the treatment the fair thing to do would be to remain just as silent now as you were then.

"The reality is whenever you’re a person of color speaking out against racism and white supremacy, it’s a safe bet that you will be on the receiving end of gaslighting. Gaslighting is defined as a form of psychological abuse in which the abuser attempts to manipulate the victim into questioning their memory, perception, and sanity. It is essentially the attempt of one person to overwrite another’s reality. Gaslighting also occurs every time a white person tells a person of color not to bring race into a discussion or when they accuse PoCs of playing the race card."

Why is bumping a thread dramatic? At most you've read the thread in its entirety and could breeze by it until it quickly moves back to page 2. Or you've not read it and can do so. See how For the record bumping a thread is usually used as a method to make a thread easier to find for someone who may not have seen it when it was trending. Yes right, exactly as I'm doing here. Fair point. I'm allowing my personal opinion of you as someone who enjoys creating drama influence my response. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but I'll at least own up to my opinion. I'm going to validate your opinion of it being dramatic in this case - she could have just as easily sent a direct link to her friends that would have been just as effective at getting them here, if not easier. The Peas would have been none the wiser as the thread would have remained buried on page 20-something. Instead, she bumps the thread with a note that she's doing it for her off-board friends to find it easier on page 1. Of course it's dramatic, anyone who's followed the boards this summer knows what this thread is about, and followed it. When it's all of a sudden bumped a month or two later, of course they're going to come in and see why.
