(54,162 posts)32. i've learned more about racial issues and a black perspective from 1sbm than anyone
even in real life. perhaps ironically in real life that's a topic that rarely comes up. maybe that's on me....
in any event, 1sbm tells it like it is, and does so with passion.
i understand how that can be off-putting to some, but i've always found the passion to be genuine and appropriate to the topic at hand, not personal. and i think it's an important part of communicating the intensity of the feelings behind the topic at hand.
in short, that's exactly what white people like me need to be willing to hear.

No they aren't. Plenty of them post in both places. Trash the Democrats there and troll them here.

I first remeber reading a post from 1SBM when he assured us Obama would win reelection.

We really shouldn't have to do these posts so often, right? This seems like BS - Right?

Great way to put it, "may have been corrected but I had never been attacked." My experience too.
