Other's have done a far better job than I will probably do to express the reason and their reasons for this boycott. Racism has been tolerated on this site for years and people who have sought to educate on racism have faced open hostility for it. That has to stop. We have to find within ourselves the ability to talk less and listen more when people seek to educate us on racism, on sexism, on heterosexism, on homophobia, on antisemitism, and on anti-Muslim racism. I hope there is more of a willingness to listen when someone is trying to speak about any form of bigotry. For those who won't be back, I understand. For those that will, it's time to get to work, there's a jobs bill that needs passed and an election that needs won. Party time below the gnocchi.
