Did you watch? How did you initially react to the SLAP? Have your thoughts changed?

Knowing when your voice is not needed in a conversation is an important form of discern.

Out of respect for black people I will not be posting on the Red Mosquito message board.

I saw some of that yesterday. "As a yt person my voice is not needed here". It's an interesting approach to fence sitting for sure

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

"white"

it's about re-centring Black voices in issues that primarily concern them, but white people have historically spoken over

it's a good approach

I also don't mean to project it onto Joe's post, all he said was "no comment". Just mentioning that it's something I saw yesterday. It's interesting. I can't relate because I am hardwired to believe the world needs my take on everything
