White people in blackfolk have been severely chastised in the past for speaking up too much - I know this, in fact just watched the last mini-drama go down, and suddenly, my own post-count in that community has jumped.

What the hell? I wish I could crawl inside my brain and figure out what's going on in there, because it almost seems like I'm tempting the fates. (Or the tempers and patience of the folks there. Whichever.)

I can't believe that I have sat back and sat on it for so many months, and RIGHT after someone gets smacked for being too noisy, I start opening my mouth.

I mean - what am I doin'?


Ironically, I am SO FRUSTRATED with most of the white people in that community right now. Do they EVER stop wandering in with their you're not allowed to hate my benevolent white ass shit?


[Completely random] Every time I try to go to the bookstore, I try to look up bell hooks on the computer there, and I can never remember who I am trying to look up. Why can I only remember things when I DON'T need/want to? I could cry. [/random]

Eh, I haven't REALLY read much by her yet - I've not even finished one of her books. I just keep hearing that she's great.

I'm going to get her stuff out of our local library, and if they don't have it I'm going to get them to buy it. It sounds like she really needs to be read by a lot of people.
