I think that once the "shouting" begins, that many of us are guilty for not being able to fully comprehend the meaning behind others posts. Now I am not saying that this is always the case - I am simply trying to say that once the emotions heat up, that in many instances the point is lost.

Thanks for stopping by, AXO Alum!
I understand what you mean about the posts. Everyone is always in such a heat to make their own points that they don't take time to comprehend what everyone is saying. However, it seems as though everytime "we" or whomever else tries to come in to the perfect "homeostasis" that is known as Chit Chat, most people jump on the defensive. "We" do not come over to stur up trouble or make everything a "race issue," as we are so frequently charged with doing. We simply want to state a point-of-view from the "other side of the tracks." Since we are stating comments that do not conform to the norm, then we are censored and accused of trying to start "race wars" and whatnot.
We just want some people on GC to open their eyes and realize that WE ARE HERE! Stop trying to blend everyone into on perfect little non-colored/one-colored package. God created us as such. Some people need to stop trying to devalue our experience as Black Americans and take what we say into consideration. Even though, here on GC, it seems like A LOT to ask. However, it will continue to be put out there becaus eit deserves to be heard... UNCUT AND UNCENSORED!
