Although I have seen a few ugly generalizations made, it is true that most of the comments made aren't on the level of what I'd consider bashing someone. I don't see anything wrong with passionately speaking out on the prejudice & hypocrisy we've all had to deal with without feeling like we have to be politically correct while doing so. This forum should be a place where we have each other's backs & we should be able to freely share our experiences with opposition we've faced...like Max said, "let's keep it real"
with each other without attacking one another. We should reserve our energy for standing up to those who oppose us like the crazy-ass trolls that invade our territory. The BM/WW couple has it harder than any other combo out there...we're all in this together imo, & we need to act accordingly.

I don't feel the need to "look around" before praising a black man, but I have definitely experienced hostility at times for doing so. My own family has reacted to that very thing like I've spoken blasphemy.

Exactly.
