This discussion thread was locked by Major Nikon (a host of the Men's Group group).

for leaving the seat up in my daughters bathroom and her then dunking her ass when she went for a late night slash, i also apoligise for eating the last chocolate chip cookie. i only feel i should apoligise for shit i do myself not for a whole village, gender, or any other connotation thereof.

1. I think this is a piggish thing to write and I'm calling you out. You should self-delete, actually.

I still have several hides before I'm banned outright. I'm happy to use one on this nasty post.

3. I don't know what is most disturbing to me. That you have a daughter at all or that you don't care.

You made a human being, a life, a person, a soul.

I shouldn't even have to have this talk with you.

Get a grip.

that herself, seems you think that group apologies are the in thing, i happen to not want anyone speaking for me. and as the thread is in a group that censors replies there can be no disagreement with the jist of the posters thread. you can feel free to disagree with me as i am big enough and ugly enough not to get upset by mere words on a screen.

Whatever needed to be said appears to have been said and I just don't see the value to the men's group for allowing this to continue.

I will also add that my preference is not to see this group dissolve into a shit throwing contest, even if that goes on in other groups and forums. Please keep it civil whenever possible. This goes for everyone and not just you, even though this reply is addressed to you.

13. The Penitent.

“I am so sorry for the way whites have treated your people.”
Or “I am sorry for the terrible things that white man just
said to you.”


REALITY CHECK + CONSEQUENCE:
While there is probably no harm in the “sorry,” if it is not attached to some action taken against racism, it is most often just another expression of white guilt. Being an ally to people of color is not limited to an apology for other white people’s behavior, it must include anti-racist action.
