We've established that it's not actually a BLM banner I was thinking of, but rather one that shows support and solidarity with our black members and visitors, so they just *might* feel like there is a space that accepts them without saying "Well, what about us?!" Turns out, all I did was highlight the fact that such a space doesn't exist here, and to put up a banner like that would only be false advertising. I've abandoned the idea, myself. The only submissions we got were from the guy who's a cunt hair away from shouting white power in every thread about BLM, so I'm surprised we even have black members. So, don't worry, everyone. Since we can't seem to extend an olive branch without asking for one in return, we won't be giving away olives here at Atheist Forums.My point has always been that there are numerous causes and movements. Choosing one in the heat of the moment in an attempt to be inclusive actually excludes the others.
Editz or whatever your name is, fuck off.
There is space here for everyone. For you to knee jerk that there's not because the idea floated wasn't overwhelmingly applauded is ridiculous.
I don't see how you're refuting my claims by again saying "what about?" Sure, there are numerous causes and movements. I decided I thought it would be nice to highlight one. That's not excluding anyone. The kind of people who feel slighted when they're pet cause isn't highlighted but another one is are the same people who cry "All Lives Matter." It's childish.
Oh, there's plenty of space, just not a very inclusive vibe.
