making life more difficult for GLBT people in Central with your screeds.
EY: This is nonsense. How does opposing Urban Ventures and their
projects - including the Colin Powell Center equate to wanting to push
out all the African American families?
What's nonsense? The myth? It's out there. You think only white people
read this list? You don't think the AfAms can see that someone named Eva
Young, a GLBT person, is trying to stir up trouble for UV and CPC? You
think people won't use your screed to promote CPC?
Well, you're wrong. There is such a myth; AfAms read this list, others do
as well and they will use your screed to promote homophobia and CPC..
This is tiresome. Where did I say African Americans don't read the
Minneapolis Issues list?
You think people won't use your screed to promote CPC?
What people? Art Erickson? I've always felt he likes to exploit wedges
between the gay and african american community - in exactly the way Norm
Coleman did, when he recruited anti-gay black democrat Bob Battle to the
Republican party.
I don't see African Americans as a monolithic group that all think the same
way. In the same way gays don't all think the same way.
I'm getting tired of the insinuations that I'm racist from you Wizard. I'd
like to ask you to prove it or apologise.
This "who is more oppressed" game is getting really tiresome.
How does opposing the Colin Powell Center project equate to wanting all
African American families to move out of the Central Neighborhood,
Wizard? I'm not the only person you've called racist on this list. You've
done the same thing with Karen Forbes, David Piehl, Jana Metge and many
others.
