since I started posting about race on my face book page, some of my so called "liberal" friends have taken offense going so far as to come on my page and tell me I shouldn't be posting racial stuff on my page.

This of course makes me mad when I point out differences between what they go through and what I go through. I call them out over their privilege and they have the nerve to get mad at me. So I'm of the mind set that if you can't have an honest conversation with me about race I block you. I don't care if your a fellow liberal or not

As individuals. What can we do?
This society is. So primitive and stupid compared to the promise of our. Greatest dreamers.

is for people not to be so quick to come and censor us when we talk about things like this. Don't be so quick to censor us when we talk about gun violence and I say that because once again I have been impacted by gun violence as a family member of mine was killed two days ago. I had friends who were gun supporters who used to jump down my grill telling me to be quiet.

So since i can't seem to voice my opinion on issues that matter to me, I'm voicing them through some crime novels I'm writing.

I have a moonbeams and fairy worshipping angel card reading spiritual life coach friend whose fairy dust nonsense I've put up with for the past year.

I no longer follow her - since she has shown she has zero empathy for my very real on this earth life experience - why should I respect her myths?
