this place has never

been a place where true equality is respected.


The site, no you are correct. Equality, no you have never been totally respected.

This group? AA? One of the most diverse and accepting on this site. I have watched the hosts, JAG, Starry, Number23 so fair when they have to block someone. They talk to them and they tell them why. They give them a chance. This is one of the most accepting diverse groups on this board and one of the most maligned.

You all welcomed me here. I thank you. I know that has been an issue for some incoming peeps. They think I pretend to be black when I have always said I am white.

This is my home. I am sticking until someone tells me otherwise.

Hugs~
