You can't hold the views I have and get offended easily. I don't look for acceptance from anyone, all I do is speak what I see to be the truth. I make reference to their comments because they are funny to me and because when people can't dispute what you are saying factually, they resort to personal attacks. The fact that people are all over GC PMing other folks, quoting my signature in various threads, and making snide comments about me lets me know that 1. what I say gets them to think outside the box and 2. The fan club was a necessity 
Anytime you espouse views against the norm, you are going to get attacked. Anytime you mention that you love Jesus Christ and evoke him into discussions, you immediately come under a microscope and folks judge you as if they are sitting in the throne room...but hey...its all part of it. The foolishness folks post on here about me rolls right off my back..and I'm laughing as its rolling off.

Personally, I think Rudey posted this topic to get a handle on what is being observed by an "outsider" looking in and wondering why he is observing such behavior...
Aside from that, Sistahgirl, are you sure you are not really affected? Because this is not the first time or topic you have posted your issues about how other Black folks have treated you by what they said to did to you... And you are not the only one who feels this way....
And I think what Rudey is noticing, as well as many others who are critically astute is the on-going diatribes by other avowed and certifiable African Americans here on GC laying down un-researched ideas without factual basis and arguing without logically coming to a conclusion... While, ironically, most African Americans argue with cyclical reasoning skills rather than linear ones--but that is another issue and not the topic of this forum...
What some folks have issue with you and many others that are poppin' up into GC is that you are "airing Black folks dirty laundry" to put it bluntly. And you have most of the non Black folks agreeing with your observations. And one thing that Black folks do not like is being told they are wrong by the "man"--or whatever...
Now, you can feel like it is rolling off your back and that is the defensive mechanism you have chosen, but it is obvious that it really has not. Otherwise, you would not respond to snide or silly comments made by any of my sorors, your sorors or any of the D9 organizations...
Yes, it atrocious that some Black folks resort to personal attacks and cast aspersions on your character. You responding back to them to stupefy them, it is working? Does it help get your point across?
Blessed are the peacemakers... Or even, you catch more flies with honey than you do with salt...
All I am saying is, you do not have to put down somebody because they put you down to win your argument. Sometimes folks have to agree to disagree. Other times, if you know you are correct and the person is blatantly wrong, you have to teach them rather than embarassment. Or, if you do not really care and could care less, then hey, give up a mofo and GTFO on out...
Either way, you got to pick your own battles... It's the American Way!!!
