LOL! That just goes to show that we have a mighty well behaved and courteous group of folks posting in this forum.

I love this forum. And with several hosts on several different times zones, I think we'll be well protected in case any more "soon to be PPRd folks" decide to show up -- again.

W.E.B. DuBois sometimes introduced his writing with an "Apology." The one I remember in particular was his first article in the journal Phylon that he founded in 1940. You're in good company.

still I was wondering what happened to the long list of African-American contributions that was present on DU2?

Is it possible to place it here on the new forum? It's a great resource. There was so much work that went into documenting achievements of Africans and African-Americans that it'd be a shame if it were lost.

Thank you for posting so many news articles. I rarely comment, but always find the information interesting reading.

15. Banning Disruptors

Is the group for an exploration of black American experiences? Is it disruptive if we have non black DU Members that come in for the sole intent and purpose of spreading the IndieTeapublican Agenda of subtle coded language and the Neocon Go To of: But blacks are racists too?

If so - is it possible to ban DU members as is done in BOG?

As I just said in a different thread, I am finding way too many assholes in the general population of DU...

Never before over the past 10 yrs of posting on liberal message boards have I seen so much racism, misogyny and downright anger at other liberals sometimes over nothing.

But so happy to have this little family here...I need to become active in the LGBT form as well I think.

But yeah, Blue_Tires stepped down. I've tried to talk him out of it but I don't blame anyone who decides to spend less time here.
