I do not view the world through your eyes and you are quite free to your assessment.
Your quote: "Right now a European sister's post has divided the forum with those loyal to her and those who use the forum in making bonds stronger in this struggle."
Well... I respect her right also to give her views, even if I may disagree, and I DON'T.
What Unity?
There has never been unity on this forum.
People hold too many different ideas (that is their right) and do not seriously engage fundamental issues. People have always disagreed and more so with European Intrusion. People are quite right to generalize about Europeans and any people who share commonalities with people who have previously abused them. But what I see a few older heads are displaying on the forum is plain old-fashioned ENVY and they are not dealing with the substantive points she raised. They are angry because Rootsie had the good sense to see the value in the points I raised. She also had the good sense to accept our offer to develop a European Site especially for some whites that 'do not get it'. The admin offered and no one is dictating what she does on her site. The link will be placed wherever the owners want it.
Your quote: "For many of INI this is a private matter.Yes?"
If people think these beliefs are so private then why share it them a public forum. The views that I hold private are only shared privately among those that I trust.
On the point of ENVY, several were offered opportunities to have sites built for them so they can develop their own strands in their own unique way. Several others wanted but never asked. But instead they sat on the side and did nothing about it, taking the offer for granted. No sooner they saw a White woman get help they come screaming; why not me, she or her, give us a board, like little babies. Well sorry if that offends sensibilities as the opportunity WAS there for some older heads that are now screaming.
Rootsie never hid that she was White and she accepted help to develop special insights, which she should publicly share even if others disagree. Speaking for myself, I want her insights into everything and I want her to put it on the table as she sees fit. People can agree, disagree or kick and scream as hard as they want, I know the reasons for their poor conduct is over her support for MY view. Tough Luck!
I do not agree with the position of many whites, near whites and Blacks on the forum, but you know what, I leave them to their way if they are belligerent.
You can question my standing as much as you want but I KNOW I remain true to my values.
I will not respond to the other parts of your comments, which were bordering on being offensive.
