Real Talk about White Privilege

what do you do when you don't feel like you're totally included in the country you reside in?

You are responsible for your thoughts, your feelings, your actions. Lay this wreath where it belongs - at your door. No one can make you feel anything without your consent.

Your self-pity keeps you anchored in the past. Other people have nothing to do with your insecurity.

Take responsibility for yourself. If you don't like how you feel, then change your attitude.

Members, lend me your ears. (Or eyes)

This is a very sensitive subject. We have members who are very passionate, and disagree 110% on all aspects. We, as a community, appreciate this diversity. We want to discuss these subjects in a civilized manner, and as long as we continue to do so, this will be permitted. But in the last 48 hours, we have had to remove several off-topic comments that provide nothing to the subject at hand. Nobody has been penalized for these comments, and we are doing our best to not have to resort to punitive measures. However, if this trend continues, we will have no choice.

These, "Yawn" comments, or any other personal remark will not be tolerated. If the staff comes across any, they will be edited immediately! And along with the edit, you can expect some sort of repercussion.

Any punitive measure is certainly a last resort, and we do not want to take these measures. But nobody can say that they have not been warned.

PLEASE, think twice before clicking the "Post Reply" button. Remember, we will edit it immediately, so nobody will see it anyways. After the edit, the appropriate action will be taken in hopes that this will curb any future infractions.

Thank You.
