<div>A lesbian female hacker by the name of Sara came to hack at Noisebridge. She cut some bookshelves for her tiny new abode, and built a platform for her bed. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>This lesbian female hacker is also a fledgling comedienne. Part of her cultural background (like mine) is rap music and lyrics. She's been know to sling some street lingo, including the "N" word. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>(warning, the following sentence may violate Noisebridge's harrassment policy; if anyone bans me from noisebridge as a result, i shall respect that)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>According to herself, Sara used the "n" word at Noisebridge, as part of her white lesbian does black lingo persona. Prolly something along the lines of "Whatup, my nigga?"</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Sara was forced out of Noisebridge by Pigeon for using "oppressive language", after a lot of accusational shouting. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is it an act of oppression, when a lesbian female hacker (builds stuff) is driven out of Noisebridge, with hostility, by a white male non-hacker (doesn't build anything) for "using oppressive language"? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Or does it just prove how wonderful Noisebridge has become?</div><span><font color="#888888">
