So, I fell prey to the race wank in liberal perpetrated first by user conceptualpete when he did what I hope was a trollish post on black reparations. Then today user malasadas comes back with a discussion on race wank in LiveJourna

I then dropped masalada’s post and the wankery in the comments that ensued.

I just don’t know why I even bother to try somedays. I just have to accept that Race Wank will always be a big part of online life.  Part of me wants to just delete the whole post on the LJ liberal community wankery but some part of me is enjoying it too.

Oh well back to watching my inbox explode.
