[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG. - One of them even uses white and elitist as interchangeable. That’s not ok. Almost none of the race stuff from the defacto moderators is ok.

I felt so horrible for the lgbt activist who spoke up.  The way they treated him was disgusting. The mouthpieces in that site make more enemies than allies. [/quote]

[b]It was the community college post where someone said it would upset white people, but cut off the word and then replaced it with elitist. When that got laughs and was allowed to stay, I knew the admins had checked out. [/quote][/b]

Me, too. I was shocked by that. [/quote]

And not helpful when other people chime in and say things like "I'm white and went to an elite college and was coddled and had no idea to do with my life so you're totally right about community college." I wanted to post and say "excuse me, like lots of other people I worked my ass off for scholarships, took out loans, worked half time during school, worked multiple jobs in the summer, actively sought out career preparation, and was diligent in landing a job for after graduation so I could move out of my parents home and start paying off my debt." But that wouldn't have been seen as a rebuttal to the white poster, it would have been taken as a challenge by the black OP, and I didn't feel like getting in a public race fight. I already did that once on AEM as a white person living in one of Arlington's historically black neighborhoods, and am not going there again. [/quote]

You could have been a Black person living in an historically Black neighborhood and received the same reaction from the AEM "enlightenment club"[/quote]
