Yes, just calling someone one is worse than actually being one. I thought we went over this already.

If so, you can sue, because that's illegal. Me? Yes, I've been denied because of my skin color--and that kind of racism is LEGAL here.
And yet, I don't whine about affirmative action bullshit. Because I move on, stand on my own two feet, and making my own fucking way in life.

By the time I got to the end of your post all I heard was "wah wah wah pull yourself up by your boot straps." Yes, I can sue but I can't sue if they don't reveal that as being the reason why. Which of course they won't so it's the same situation that you are in. Except they can be more brazen about it. I've heard the horror stories of how the Japanese treat people of color over there as well. So if I was in your situation, I would experience the same exact thing. You are so far removed from the situation i'm describing which is systematic racism which is easy to get away with when you can't prove it. Also if you even bring up the suggestion that you didn't get a job or apartment because you felt like it was a racist situation happening, you get all the bandwagon people like yourself saying "quit race baiting" , "quit playing the race card".

From her perspective it was MB members doing it. She felt like she was being ganged up on and the common denominator just so happened to be that she was in the token category. If you do some soul searching and actually look at MB's history. All of the black members that have posted here have been run off and labeled "crazy". Hmm I wonder why. They either only post here for a short time before they stop posting or they stick around long enough to be labeled crazy and ran off.
What's that quote? Live long enough to be seen as a villian. idk I have to look it up but that's basically what happens here.
