That's precisely what you're doing and it's making you persona non grata.

Just being oppressed doesn't excuse you from making allies for the cause.

You've obviously placed yourself above your cause. The last refuge of a scoundrel is her cause.

Notice I don't need pictures to communicate as do the disgruntled peasants.

...yes it does! Allies HURT causes, not HELP them.

I see that you're emotionally unstable and no longer an appropriate candidate for "community" intervention. As with others like you who have passed through these forums, I will abstain from further intervention and recommend the same to others (until Ibby warrants a time out vis-à-vis pensive pam).

Other forms of microaggression

Microaggressions can take a number of different forms,[9] for example, questioning the existence of racial-cultural issues, making stereotypic assumptions, and cultural insensitivity.[9][10] Some other types of microaggressions that have been identified[9] include Colorblindness (e.g., "I don't think of you as Black. You are just a normal person"), Denial of personal bias (e.g., "I'm not homophobic; I even have gay friends."), and Minimization of racial-cultural issues (e.g., "Just because you feel alone in this group doesn't mean that there's a racial issue involved."). "Colorblindness" in particular has been associated with higher levels of racism[11] and lower levels of empathy.[12]
Racial Microaggressions
The concept of racial microaggressions is one of the relative new contributions of Social Psychology to the understanding of factors that influence intergroup relations. Commonplace, public experiences or situations such as being stopped for a check-up at an airport, being ignored by a waiter/waitress at a restaurant or being assigned to a particular task by an employer, might seem irrelevant or innocuous situations under most circumstances. However, when such situations are interpreted as being linked to racial differences, they become distinct, and take on a different connotation. As a result, people subjected to them (racial minorities) may experience emotional pain or other negative feelings.[26]
Supporters of the theory argue that racial microaggressions are reported to be common,[13][14][15][16] including among people who think of themselves as being fair and nonracist,[17][18][19] and who have received multicultural training.[20]
According to P.C. Davis (1989), microaggression is enabled because “cognitive habit, history, and culture [has left it] unable to hear the range of relevant voices and grapple with what reasonably might be said in the voice of discrimination’s victims”.[21]

It's already happened with those who have dropped out and no longer support the cellar, fool.

Nope, just a misapplication of psychology by a layman in a vain attempt to rationalize untoward behavior. A loser's hand. You've got to know when to fold 'em.

Smile when you say that boy. Oh, I see that you did. Keep up the good work.

There, there. I don't want you to feel left out. I'm not sorry about your finger either.

[Lamplighter]

I left here for while because the bullshit got so fucking deep it was sickening and it made me more of a bitter, shitty person.

@Classic: It's OK for you to come back to TheCellar now.
It has returned to the old place you seem to miss.

Now maybe Merc will feel comfortable and grace us with his presence too.
