It was not a put down...sorry you read it that way...just a clarifying comment as it appeared Ronna didn't know there were two groups..or whatever... and there seemed to be some confusion. D and A are organizers with them...was simply stating facts that are public knowledge that Ronna was apparently unaware of....I did not speak on what Decolonize Washington was/stood for/anything...just that they are not Decolonize Whatcom....D has been communicating with one of the working groups as an organizer for their events...so I am not making any claims that are untrue or negative.

No but it is the CONSTANT need to clarify these facts as you see them that is causing strain. When you make these clarifications it takes away from the overall goal. That is what I am trying to explain. Decolonize Washington is not a group, it is an action. This action needs support. If you want to help clarify, join the cause! There is a call out for dolls for Thursday's action. People are welcome to join the picket line. I don't know where you have seen where it states that D and A are organizers, because I haven't seen anything to the effect. I have seen them both post the flyer just as I have. They have assisted putting out the call for Dolls and such just like I have. Just because they are involved in the actions of Decolonize Washington, does not make it any less important. Putting it out there that they are the "organizers" of it is doing just that. That is what I am saying. Are you able to see, that is what happens when you do that?

It appears to me that the constant need to rebut needed clarifications is the "strain causing" action.

You are ascertaining that another group doesn't have the right to say who the are associated with because it is divisive. We have already established who Decolonize Washington is...simply saying they are not an organization...or group..or whatever...doesn't make it so...someone created the websites...someone is planning events...including the one where they used Decolonize Whatcom's name in their graphics and comment...I know who that is and so do you. I thank them for no longer calling themselves Decolonize Whatcom. That is the end of my opinion of them whether they call themselves a group, an organization or a movement. I'm not going to argue about this any longer as it is silly.

Oxford English Dictionary definition: "disillusioned |ˌdisəˈloō zh ənd|
adjective
disappointed in someone or something that one discovers to be less good than one had believed : the minority groups were completely disillusioned with the party."

I don't see how this can be taken as a put down. The clarification is purely for clarification, Nothing more. The distinction of these clarifications is so that there is no misunderstanding of the messages being shared by these groups as one does not speak for the other. DeColonize Whatcom distinguishes itself from Decolonize Washington based on the value of the individual actions endorsed by the independent groups.

Whatever, I don't care about your psychobabble bullshit anymore. You all showed your colors last night. Clarify all you want, Decolonize Washington will make a bigger impact than your little group. Good Luck with your PROCESSES, I am going to focus my energy on the FIGHT.
