My issue in the forum wasn't about bashing President Obama. My issue was the personal attacks in regards to expressing views. I don't mind counterarguments to what I post, but they shouldn't be name-calling and personal accusations like referring to me as a race baiter, "your Marxist icon", and my having narrowminded thinking for preferring to vote for a president that's liberal,progressive regardless if it's Barack Obama or another democrat.

Last year, I had posted something about the issues with discord in the forum in regards to political beliefs, and jwhop told me straight up that I am the primary example of a racist voting block. That was the one one thing that made me lose all respect for him. By doing what he did, he pretty much referred to blacks as racists and then included me in with them. By doing what he did, he also pinned me down as a black person even though I have always acknowledged myself as multiracial person that never cared for the one drop rule. I was one of only 2.4 percent of US Census takers that identified as multiracial. Obama being part black like me had nothing to do with voting for him. My voting was motivated by progressive,liberal values. That's why I voted NO on proposition 8 in California which took away homosexual rights. I wrote about that in the forum before he accused me of being part of racist voting block.

I am very liberal,progressive in my views, and goes way beyond race. It includes women's rights (I am a member of National Organization for Women which was founded exactly 5 years before I was born) and homosexual rights. It's motivated by my belief in equality. Jwhop and others don't seem to get that. They tried to twist my words "like evil white people, or evil Europeans" which is a bullcrap. My mom is white,of European descent. I have no hate towards white people nor people of any ethnicity. Why is that pointing out the history of white supremacy racism in USA means that a person is anti-white? It's the truth. There is no denying that the founding fathers didn't mean for USA to be for all people. It wasn't made for the black people. It wasn't made for the Native Americans. It wasn't made for the asians. It was made for only white people. It wasn't made for all Europeans either. The 4th of July - Declaration of Independence had no meaning in the lives of black people in the USA. Both Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Frederick Douglass believed that. Before there was the great civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, there was Frederick Douglass.

I don't have any icons let alone Barack Obama as my icon that jwhop accused me of. If there were people that I would consider my icons, they are Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Frederick Douglass. To me, they were my heroes. Their ideals are what I have. If anybody truly knows me, they will know that I am far different than what jwhop and others like him accuse me of being. Those people have no clue about me.

I pointed out that USA is not just a country for whites, heterosexuals, Christians,and men. I pointed out that USA is a multiracial,multifaith country that is also for homosexuals and women. I made sure that I stated about equality. I don't see how I am race-obsessed like jwhop accused me of. I am equality-obsessed. I believe in total equality. I live for equality,and I will die for equality.

My parents met in San Francisco, California. I was born there. San Francisco is known for being a highly liberal,progressive,open-minded,and diverse city.

It's no coincidence that I chose to incarnate to a interracial neurodivergent couple as a multiracial neurodivergent person in that city. It's that city that I plan to be cremated/ashes scattered after my death.

Why the hell does this forum section has to be divisive!?????
...
This wreaks of negative Eristic energy.

Can't we get away from the "I am right ,and you're wrong....it's my way or no way" mentality?

How is this Global Unity? It's not even National Unity.

I am just tired of people complaining,bickering on each side of the political spectrum to the point that I don't want to have to do with either side.

I don't care for Republicans,and I don't care for Democrats.

I am liberal though. I can't see myself being a conservative.

I would appreciate people stop painting people with certain political beliefs in the same brush. I don't care if you're a Democrat,Republican,Independent,Green Party,or whatever.

I am sick and tired of the generalizing.

This was jwhop's response:

Glaucus, you are a prime example in a racist voting block who voted for O'Bomber at a 95% rate because he's black. If whites had voted for McCain at a 95% clip, you'd claim racism.

You claim to be a Liberal but you voted for a far left radical Marxist Socialist who is in no way, a Liberal.

Your real intent here is to stop the well deserved criticism of O'Bomber...and that in itself is not a Liberal trait, it's Illiberal.
http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum26/HTML/000374.html

None of what he said about me is true. What he told me was totally uncalled for.

Nothing was done about it.

You could understand how lost all respect for jwhop since then. Maybe I should have lost respect for Randall too for not doing anything about it.

I responded to jwhop with the following:
posted April 26, 2010 06:58 PM

What do you mean racist voting block? There was no racist voting black.

How do you know I would claim racism if 95 percent of whites voted for McCain? You're just making assumptions without even knowing me.

I am not even black. I am multiracial Black,White,Hispanic,and Native American. I identified myself as that on both 2000 and 2010 Census.

I also didn't vote for Obama because he is black. I voted for him because I preferred him because he is a liberal and a democrat. I saw him as an optimistic,idealistic,intelligent,inspirational person who wanted to help a lot of people and help USA be a better nation.

Obama is not just black. He is also part white. He has a white mother,and a black father. That wasn't even a factor in my vote though.

I don't believe in the one drop rule.

The whole "one person can be only one race" is ludicrous.

I am a liberal, but I didn't vote for a far left radical Marxist Socialist. He is not even that. That's just your opinion.

No.....I am tired of all the generalizing that goes on in forum. I am tired of people given a hard time for having different views from other people. Just because you have a view doesn't mean that everybody else's is wrong.

Too many people are like that,and that's why we have so much intolerance of diversity on our planet. That's the worst problem of all.

Also after the stuff that you just told me,
I am not even going bother to have any more discussions with you.

You're one of the most judgmental,discordant,divisive,extremist ideological person that I have ever met on any forum.

WHITE CHRISTIAN MALE POWER STRUCTURE

...WTF???????? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDSofxxabMA&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBmkvLEhNvs&feature=related

I want the White Christian male power structure gone!

replace it with Multiracial,Multifaith,bigender power structure.

that represents all races,all religions,both sexes

jwhop's response is this:

March 25, 2008 10:35 AM How eeeevil those white people are. They want the immigration laws enforced and the US borders observed.

They know the difference between legal and illegal immigration. White eeevil racists.

OMG, I'm one of those who want the US borders shut down to illegal immigration, US immigration laws enforced and no amnesty for those here illegally who have already broken our laws. Well then, we know what that makes me.

If O'Bomber believes half of what you say you believe about America, he isn't going to be elected President and he sure as hell shouldn't be. As the days go by he looks more and more like a stealth candidate whose past and present associations are catching up to him.

Last time I looked, white Christians and black Christians believd in the very same God...a color blind Supreme Being. Of course, given all the other things you've had to say, I could be wrong about that too.

Wright has abandoned the Gospel of Jesus Christ, "the good news of the coming Kingdom of God" and has been preaching Black Liberation Theology in his former church. Perhaps Wright...and some others don't know America fought a civil war in the 1860s partially about slavery and lost upwards of 800,000 men...almost every one of whom was "a white guy".

I'm also sure it must have slipped Wright's mind...and some others too...that the 14th Amendment, passed in 1866, guarantees "due process and "Equal Protection" under the laws of the United States...to everyone.

They must have also missed the 13th Amendment which bans "slavery and involuntary servitude" outright. Of course, that may have happened too recently to have come to their attention...yet...in 1865.
http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum16/HTML/003900.html

jwhop just made leaps and twist things
There is nothing that I said about white people being evil. It was Bill O'Reilly that was talking about White Christian Male Power Structure, and I was only protesting against that and said that I want it be placed with an equality-oriented type one.
How is that accusing white people of being evil?

From the looks of it, it does seem that he is prejudiced towards me, thinking that I am anti-white because I am part black and point out racial issues in USA and have an equality-oriented ideology.

I am not racist,prejudiced.

I love people of all races,ethnicities.
I am also a strong believer in homosexual rights, and I did vote NO on Proposition 8 which took away homosexual marriage rights here in California. I am also member of National Organization for Women too.
I am not even into NAACP stuff. I don't support that group because they don't believe in multiracial identities like I do. I always strived to acknowledge and embrace my multiracial identity and not go with the racial status quo. I have never went with the racial status quo. My cultural tastes have never been confined to any race. They have always been diverse.

I stressed about inequality issues in regards to homosexuals and women too and not just race. I don't know why this focus on me being race-obsessed. I am equality-obsessed. I am highly focused on the equality and harmony among races. I strongly believe that we should all love each other and be in unity, but I am realistic to know that we are far from doing that. I am a strong believer in my fellow Pisces Moon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's dream, but it hasn't been fully realized yet. It may not be for a very long time. I have no icons. If there ever was a person that I would consider my icon is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The other one would be Frederick Douglass who was not only a great abolitionist, he was also a strong supporter of women's rights. He was a former slave. He was the son of black woman and white man. His first wife was black,and his second wife was white. He was given a hard time about his interracial marriage with a white woman. His response was "My first wife was the color of my mother,and my second wife is the color of my father." He acknowledged and embraced both his white and black halves. Those were things that I cherish about him. He is why I would find him more my icon than Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In my Neurodiversity Advocacy, I strive to be more like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and not Malcolm X. I don't want to create a bridge between the neurodiversity community and biomed community. I have written posts acknowledging both genetic neurodivergent conditions and acquired neurodivergent conditions.

I was one of only 2.4 percent of US Census takers that identified as more than one race. I embrace my multiracial heritage. People say that most people are mixed. It seems that maybe a lot of people have issues with race if they don't identify as mixed. I don't have that issue. I identified as multiracial on both 2000 and 2010 Censuses. I will identify as that on every Census. I identified as multiracial on forms before the 2000 Census too.

I like being a Melting Pot American of African,Portuguese,English,German,French,Italian,Puerto Rican, and Native American Cherokee ancestry. In my opinion, I symbolize what today's America is about and not what yesterday's America is about. I wouldn't have it any other way. When people ask me what I am, I tell them that I am that stuff. I don't leave anything out. When I have children, I will raise my children to acknowledge and embrace all their heritage.

As for homosexual rights, I will always believe that homosexual marriage should be legal. Marriage should be a right for both heterosexuals and homosexuals. People's religious beliefs shouldn't infringe on the rights of others. Not everybody is a Christian. We have freedom of religion in this country. The USA is not a Christian nation. It's a secular nation. It's about separation between church and state. Of course, it definitely hasn't been that way. That shows how much hypocrisy there is in the US Govt.

Interracial relationships/marriages were illegal in the USA too. They used religious arguments to say that those types of relationships/marriages are wrong. It took a Supreme Court ruling in 1967 abolish all anti-racemixing laws in the USA. This was only 4 years before I was born. I was born from an interracial relationship between a white woman and black man. I have been in interracial relationships with white women. I find myself attracted mainly to white white women. My white mother has never been involved with any white men. She's mainly been with black men. People have their own preferences, and there is nothing wrong with that. I believe that it also applies to heterosexuality and homosexuality. I believe that both are natural ways of being. You could say that it could be part of neurodiversity. Homosexual people are wired differently, and there is scientific evidence that supports it. We can't just be ignorant and pretend that homosexuality is not a natural thing. Homosexuality is even present in many animal species.

Women have been treated as 2nd classes citizens for a long time. There have been inequality issues in regards to pay. There are people who want to deny them their abortion rights. I am a strong believer in prochoice. I don't want to deny the rights of any woman. I don't believe religious beliefs should infringe on the rights of women.

I couldn't help join National Organization for Women (NOW) which not only strives for equal rights for women but equal rights for all people. It was founded on October 29, 1966. I was born on October 29, 1971. I didn't find that out until after I joined.
It's no coincidence that I am a strong believer in equality, and I was born on the anniversary of

It's no coincidence that my parents met in San Francisco and I was born there with it being a city known for being very liberal,progressive,openminded,and diverse.

It's the perfect place for a multiracial neurodivergent person to be born.

I am not ashamed to have liberal,progressive values. I am very proud of them. However, I don't think that I am better than anybody because of my values. After all, I believe that all of us are created equal. Therefore, I believe that highly conservative people are equal to me even though I am very sure that a lot of those types of people think that I am not their equal.

I live for equality,and I will die for equality!

I think that it's reflected by transiting retrograde Saturn in Libra conjuncting my Uranus in Libra in 2nd. Saturn is the planet associated with conservatism, and Uranus is the planet associated with liberalism. Libra is the sign associated with equality. 2nd house is the house associated with values.

Transiting Mars in Pisces was squaring my retrograde Saturn in 9th during the confrontation. Mars is associated with assertion,passion. Pisces is the sign sign associated with unity and universal love. 9th house is associated with belief systems.
Transiting Mars is currently squaring my Jupiter in Sagittarius in 3rd which also about belief systems as well as overall philosophical thinking.

Transiting Jupiter is in Aries is in my 7th house and trining my Jupiter in Sagittarius in 3rd. I am in a period of expanding my beliefs and philosophical thinking.

Transiting dwarf planet candidate Sedna is in my 9th opposing my Venus in 3rd. Sedna is associated with environmental awareness and care-taking for humanity and victimization. In the 9th house, it involves belief systems. Venus rules both my 2nd and 9th house, and so values and belief systems.

Transiting dwarf planet Eris is quincunxing my Venus in 3rd. Eris is associated with equality,diversity,and discord. With it involving my Venus in 3rd, it would indicate equality,diversity issues as well as discord that leads me to make adjustments in my relationships in the areas of communications.

I think that I was meant to leave the forum for good because of ideological reasons.

To make the long story short, our love wasn't strong enough to weather the obstacles involving her mother. Out of meeting her, I came to find a new astrological home and new friends. Even though I lost her forever, I had some comfort in knowing that I had my fellow lindalanders in my life.

To make the long story short, the love that I have for this forum isn't strong enough to weather the obstacles in this forum. It's hard to be in a forum when you have no respect for the person who made this forum for reasons that I have already went over.
Therefore, I can't stay here any longer.

DD (Darkdreamer) left this forum for good, and I missed her posts. After all, she was my favorite Lindalander of all. I definitely made that clear in my posts. I was even thinking of asking her to come back here. After what happened a few days ago, I wouldn't want her to come back. I even told her how I felt in regards to that. I believed she made the right decision to not come back here.

Now I am following DD's example.

Your nonsense that the US Constitution is "invalid" was bat-shiiit crazy.

This attack on Randall is even more crazy!

"I have to finally make a permanent split from this forum because I have lost respect for the webmaster, Randall Mixon."

Randall is the best webmaster I've ever encountered. He's fair, open minded and governs with a light hand. Further, Randall operates this site on his own time and with his own resources out of the love and respect he..and most of the rest of us feel for Linda Goodman.

There's nothing about Randall that deserves such disrespect. Yet, here you are attacking him as you make your whining exit from LindaLand.
