Not really....it's usually same skill set with a dash of inclusion. Is that such a bad thing? I guess it is to you.

I really don't care either way. I see your shitty American situation from an outsider's perspective, so I can see things you don't.

And don't talk to me about inclusion/exclusion. You don't know the first thing about it compared to my experience. You been denied housing because of your skin color? If so, you can sue, because that's illegal. Me? Yes, I've been denied because of my skin color--and that kind of racism is LEGAL here.

And yet, I don't whine about affirmative action bullshit. Because I move on, stand on my own two feet, and making my own fucking way in life.

I haven't said it out loud to anyone yet but yeah I got the feeling she was a little bit crazy... nah, on second thought full-blown crazy, nah really just a little bit crazy. I tried to be friendly with her, and it worked for a while. However watching her go after one member after another I knew in the back of my mind it was time before one day she would give me a hard time like she gave others. It like making a friend with a ticking time-bomb that if you don't handle her with kid gloves she'll blow up in your face.

You said it. That's the whole problem in a nut shell. But it's not MB members, doing that, it was her. She was the one writing people off. You would give her an explanation to her why it wasn't as bad as what she thought the problem was and she would not accept it, and continue on her complaining and labeling.

Yes, just calling someone one is worse than actually being one. I thought we went over this already.

By the time I got to the end of your post all I heard was "wah wah wah pull yourself up by your boot straps." Yes, I can sue but I can't sue if they don't reveal that as being the reason why. Which of course they won't so it's the same situation that you are in. Except they can be more brazen about it. I've heard the horror stories of how the Japanese treat people of color over there as well. So if I was in your situation, I would experience the same exact thing. You are so far removed from the situation i'm describing which is systematic racism which is easy to get away with when you can't prove it. Also if you even bring up the suggestion that you didn't get a job or apartment because you felt like it was a racist situation happening, you get all the bandwagon people like yourself saying "quit race baiting" , "quit playing the race card".

From her perspective it was MB members doing it. She felt like she was being ganged up on and the common denominator just so happened to be that she was in the token category. If you do some soul searching and actually look at MB's history. All of the black members that have posted here have been run off and labeled "crazy". Hmm I wonder why. They either only post here for a short time before they stop posting or they stick around long enough to be labeled crazy and ran off.

What's that quote? Live long enough to be seen as a villian. idk I have to look it up but that's basically what happens here.

The implication of what you're saying is one of the dumbest things I've ever read on this site. We run off WAY more white people than black people.

Also, the South lynched way more whites than blacks back in the day.

Besides a few drive-bys I can only think of three black members of this site: you, Roxy, and Soulflower. We never drove you off, so that's two black members you're talking about. Hardly a pattern.
