i have been spitting in rage for the last couple of days since the comment
"just because she is black it is ok to be transphobic" and the total lack
of galvanization around this, but now that it's clear what's going on, I
have to say that you've all done a commendable job of excluding black women
and men from the omni. No wonder i feel so miserable there all the time.
maybe we can get some white activists doing something OTHER than excluding
people of color from our "community" space?

It makes me sad. I don't have much context and I'm not a member, but within
the thread it seems like Wild Cat is detracting from the space's
inclusiveness and safety. Ryan says Wild Cat should be asked to leave
for "a pattern
of shitty and even threatening behavior against multiple people when you
don't agree with them or aren't getting what you want."
Brendan, thanks for bringing attention to that comment which was buried in
the endless back and forth...

I think most people ignore these shitstorm email threads. I certainly
stopped reading that one a while back.
I have enabled the moderation flag for Morgan and their emails will now no
longer go to this mailing list without moderator approval.
I encourage other moderators to disallow posts from Morgan to the list.
We can discuss options at the next sudo meeting. Morgan, if you are reading
this, please do not show up for the meeting.

Brendan,
When you say "*I have to say that you've all done a commendable job of
excluding black women and men from the omni.*" makes me feel like why is he
saying that?
Of course, I am not living your life experience, I am trying to live my
own. And in my own experience I feel that your generalization is unfair for
folks from different ethnic backgrounds that try to make the Omni a safe
and communal space.
We have met a few times, perhaps you may remember me. The Latino-Hispanic
(whatever, I don't care) guy hanging out at the Sudoroom mostly.
I want to share that I have no felt excluded at Sudo or Omni, in fact I
felt welcomed and invited to share the space and activities, etc.
It occurs to me now that perhaps we should get together someday and talk
about it, perhaps I will see your perspective, and perhaps you get to see
my perspective and from there with good intention can try to do something
to improve this aspect.
Sincerely,
Daniel
