(1) Actor Stacey Dash spoke to the Daily Mail & as per usual the far left are calling her the Devil incarnate no matter what she says, & the far right (aka the Trump faction of the GOP) don't like her now, either.
As a radical centrist, I get her.

(2) Pretty much the whole DM article takes Dash's words & twists them so far from what she said that it's pointless to read them.
Just read HER words.
She's right to call the 1/6 riot "appalling and stupid." Many MAGA public figures said that day "enough is enough."

(3) Stacey Dash is never getting off of that Hollywood blacklist but I'm sure she thought about that before her #WalkAway from Democrats in 2012.
Yes, 2012. The first Obama term was all she could take. Like many others, Trump had nothing to with her change of party support.

(4) The 2015 comment that got her fired by FOX was that Obama didn't give a shit about terrorism. That's actually a factual statement, lol. You can express it in other ways of course, by extensively evaluating his actions & omissions as POTUS re terrorism risks & outcomes.
(5) Hello, angry person who's been on Twitter for 7 years and has 13 followers. Your irrational outburst is the kind of thing I'm challenging in this thread. So, thank you for proving my point.

(6) If Stacey Dash wants to apologize for offending people (of any color or politics) that's up to her. I don't apologize in the way she does. I explain my views & if they have changed I say why.
You're right, you don't have to listen to me. So why did you?

(7) The far left loves to put people in boxes according to their skin color or the perception of random strangers as to what their racial heritage and identity is.
Stacey Dash's heritage is African American and Mexican and she identifies as an American.

(8) IMO anyone can forgive anyone & nothing in my thread is "telling" anyone what to do. I agree with:
"Anger is unsustainable and it will destroy you."
"God has forgiven me, how dare I not forgive someone else. I don't want to be judged, so how dare I judge anyone else."

(9) Now, about the arrest. In America, people are innocent until proven guilty. I place little store in arrests, I wait to see if there is a conviction.
Her arrest was on very thin ice to begin with & of course the charges were soon dropped. I'm a survivor of domestic violence:

(10) In some cases I choose to argue that an arrest is significant, eg this one:
nytimes.com/2021/03/04/us/…
But it's always on a case by case basis for me.

(11) As a survivor of domestic abuse as a child & an adult, I have buckets of empathy for anyone else affected by it. I know how it can mess up your life, until you get help & make changes. Like learning how to avoid abusers in the first place.
It SHOULD transcend politics.
It SHOULD transcend politics.
(12) But sadly it usually does not transcend politics. Survivors who don't feel safe in a far-left shelter or w a far-left therapist have few other options. This is wrong & it needs to change.
Stacey Dash had an appalling childhood in South Bronx & her openness is admirable.

(13) Critical thinkers don't respect Wikipedia as a source on any topic touching on politics or contemporary culture. It's OK for things like physics, I guess.
As such, the way the far left dominated author community describes a celeb they hate says a lot.

(14) Even on Wikipedia, they can't seem to come up with much info about Stacey Dash that is truly damning. LOL.
Now, about her personal life as expressed on the site, my reading of it is that she was dealt a very rough hand of cards. It's not unusual to marry four times.

(15) A lot of black Americans challenge the existence of black history month, that's just a fact. Dash's reasons for challenging it may be rational but the haters never stay listening long enough to find out.
For them, everything is about race. Everything.
That's extremism.

(16) It's simple to figure out what my views are in 2021.
I'm against extremism bc it leads to the condoning of political violence (ie terrorism.)
I make no excuses for far right extremism OR far left extremism.
I'm with the overwhelming majority who are in the middle.

(17) The way to achieve as much safety, freedom and happiness as possible for everyone in the US is to join forces and reject both extremes.
The country needs stability. That directly affects how many will starve to death in the coming years in the food basket of the world.

(18) We could debate all day who is to blame for the existential problems too many Americans face in these pandemic & post-pandemic years. I'd rather get on with trying to help solve the problem.
The law abiding majority can try to unite or it can further divide.

(19) A perfect example, that VICE bought a Twitter trends ad for.
People, this is junk science. It's not healthy to feed your own anger and nurture a victim mentality.
Take it from someone with more reason to be angry than some of you have.

(20) Yes, the pandemic is stressful. That's why I've suggested from the start to pace yourself, and I'm always trying to do that myself.
I'm a WWII history junkie. This is nothing like the suffering of people who lived in Nazi or Japanese occupied countries for up to 6 years.
