More mature, more inclusive, more open.<BR/><BR/>It's not always easy. And I'm a pretty tightly wrapped person so really openly passionate people are a bit of a challenge for me. But I've learned to value their willingness to say things that either don't ocurr to me or I'm not willing to say, or way with quite so much force.<BR/><BR/>So again thank you and I hope that if you do burn out it's not for quite a while.<BR/><BR/>Peace<BR/>And<BR/>Long<BR/>Life<BR/><BR/>ToriachAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12349672344754679659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506995090336963455.post-73791376198567779872008-04-28T09:06:00.000-04:002008-04-28T09:06:00.000-04:00:Anonymous of (Monday, April 28, 2008 8:04:00 AM)C...<STRONG>:Anonymous</STRONG> of <EM>(Monday, April 28, 2008 8:04:00 AM)</EM><BR/><BR/>CoC means Character of Colour.<BR/><BR/>WoC means Women of Colour<BR/><BR/>PoC mean People of Color<BR/><BR/>FoC means Fans/Fandom of color (most times)<BR/><BR/>MoC means Men of ColourAvalon's Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07539301720154191607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506995090336963455.post-28261817037810265392008-04-28T08:04:00.000-04:002008-04-28T08:04:00.000-04:00Sorry for my ignorance here, but what does "CoC's"...Sorry for my ignorance here, but what does "CoC's" stand for?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506995090336963455.post-61858223594840501722008-04-27T18:26:00.000-04:002008-04-27T18:26:00.000-04:00Hey there AW, you commented on my blog and to answ...Hey there AW, you commented on my blog and to answer your comments there: I LOVE the idea of you quoting me! <I>(((beams)))</I><BR/><BR/>I am completely devastated over the loss of BlackAmazon, who was a very spiritual writer, a touchstone, for so many women, myself included. She communicated strength, so I know her withdrawal is to maintain her own strength in the face of this onslaught.<BR/><BR/>As for (puke!) Pandagon, I think the reason white feminists have been slow to SEE THE POINT, is also how nasty Amanda is personally... it's like: "Hey, she's nasty to EVERYONE, take a number!" (and this is true) So white women did not see this as racism, since "that's Amanda's personality"--and yes, it IS. <BR/><BR/>But she has the PRIVILEGE of such a personality, you know? You wonder which came first, white spoiled brats or Amanda's personality...they developed <I>together</I> and are therefore existentially connected. (That's what I think white women miss, that black women see writ large.)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your incisive comments. Love your blog!Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16354486841414802245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506995090336963455.post-43348730715657852742008-04-26T17:55:00.000-04:002008-04-26T17:55:00.000-04:00Ami:Thank you.
