Friends,
After 8 years as a formal member and another 4 years before that just lurking, I've decided that I have had enough of DU. I'm signing off.
I have found this place absolutely intolerable. The unwillingness to accept that there is racism in the Democratic Party, within the liberal community, and right here on DU. I'm sick and tired of the rudeness here on DU; the fact that when fights are picked and you defend yourselves, YOUR posts get hidden by a jury or YOUR threads are disposed of. I'm tired of the baseless attacks on other people of color and the cognitive dissonance from those who should know better and still dismiss race as a factor.
I'm just tired, ya'll. I'm exhausted. I'm not fighting anymore.
I've made some wonderful acquaintances over the years here and I do wish you well, but I can't remain here anymore.
Good luck and godspeed to you all.
