I like and appreciate your blog. :)

I give Jelly mad props for persisting, and for composing an
intelligent, eloquent and balanced comment. Heather, aka
mamaV, continues to show her incompetence by evading
commenters like Jelly, because she doesn’t have the skills
to respond as intelligently.

I do have to say that it isn’t just the White women who are
clueless. The sisters don’t really get it, either. That said,
Claire is the only one who actually *does* seem to get it.

For some reason, I had assumed Jelly was sort of a troll, and had flounced. There are blogs I can’t comment on, and rarely visit, because the things I’d read there would whip me into a blind rage and I’d start posting inflammatory, largely incomprehensible things (which I believed in deeply but couldn’t adequately articulate), feel guilty or overwhelmed with hopelessness, and skulk away. I figured the same sort of thing was going on with Jelly, and that there would be no follow-up.
That response is amazing. I am in awe. I would never have expected Jelly to come back and post a cogent, insightful essay of a response addressing many of the problems with mamaV’s response while remaining sensitive to mamaV’s perspective. I am inspired by Jelly’s thoroughness, thoughtfulness, and by her patience with the WATRD blog.

Let’s give Jelly Heather’s concept.

And all her bloggers too.

IMO, Jelly is the Real Deal.
