[sudo-discuss] wtf is going on at sudo

[danarauz at gmail.com]

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
