Ethnic Greek-American & Ukrainian-American white woman has been voting Democratic Liberal & Progressives all her life, while educating herself about African-Americans lives for decades (books, articles, radio shows, tv) to improve being an ally.
Also pushing for Dems to live up to efforts to create social justice in new legislation, and removing suppressive old legislation.
Commenting back to racist comments from people thinking that I agree with them.

Always trying to do my best, and always learning.

I helped found a Democratic Women's Club in my rural, red FL county. We are doing everything we can.

...when a favorite bands site that has a big polititical off-topic sub-forum wasn't getting enough interactions I went searching for an additional site.
I remembered DU's name from 20 yrs ago, and was amazed and delighted to see it thriving! Joined up. 😉

Black women are about 5-8% of the US population. WHITE women are about 40% of the US population. So why count on us? Y'all might be the problem...

I'm voting for Biden and all-Democrats (as usual), so I might need to serve time in prison to learn which gang I'm supposed to join. Lol.
