Tips for Stabilizing Brownstone Front Doors? [Forum]
what are you talking about?? the black person who was there, if I recall correctly, is a friend and neighbor of the brownstoner family and was mingling and chatting with people. you are making things up to stir up something that doesn’t exist. why? because you have your own baggage unrelated to this community. why don’t you just go and do this somewhere else. sheesh.
By talking to someone?
gee 10.08 – it can’t possibly be that you see racism everywhere you look whether its there or not. Youll always see it if you are monomaniacal about it
No, the ppl “in” the group (the all white crowd at a bstoner event) being restistant to change contrasted with the single black person who is suffering from this resistance. What is that black person to do?
the brownstoner readership is diverse – i saw that at the first gathering in red hook. stop baiting and get on with your life. this is not the place for this. start your own blog. I’m white and have many black friends who have many white friends and so on and so on. sounds like you are the one with the problems, not the people you accuse. white people and black people own homes or want to own homes or are just interested in real estate in Brooklyn. that is what this blog is about. and they all read it. if you don’t like it, the great thing is that you don’t have to read it or interact with the community.
So 10:22, if you are not white and have been to a bstoner event did you feel alienated? What did you do about it?
It’s less to do with ppl wbing shy nbut more to do with ppl being resistant to change. I thought I had made that clear.
Thanks 10:20, but I’ve never made it a habit of being a victim. That is indeed a dead end.
Yes, yes 10:18. Of course I realize that people are shy. Of course, of course. But since no one here is confusing any of this with racism, why is it relevant?
Next you’ll be telling me that the Ku Klux Klan was just a bunch of guys trying to overcome social anxiety disorder.
