  1. Get ’em Xena! I’m so glad you are protecting the blog and yourself from this harassment! I know that the irony of their ugly thoughts and words fail to prove ‘they’ are part of a ‘superior’ race. As if there were even such a thing.

    • Mindyme, you know that I love you!!

      They are not smart. In their comments, they make lots of false accusations as if to prevent me from submitting their comments to law enforcement for fear I will need to defend myself. They don’t understand that there is no defense for committing hate-crime. My state’s law sets forth; “…regardless of the existence of any other motivating factor or factors …”

      Going out of their way to racially harass others who they claim to hate is in and of itself, a hate-crime. It would be like me voluntarily knocking on the door of a KKK meeting to call them names, and after they don’t let me in, putting racially hateful notes under the door and then crying foul when arrested for trespassing.

  2. I am so so sorry that this is still happening to you! Luckily, I have a blog so I can still visit and comment on your great blog. You are a awesome writer and a very strong person! Don’t you ever forget that! I would happily take these crazy people with no life to my blog so you can have a break. So to the ones who are still doing this: Grow up and get a hobby! You are nothing more then cowards and bullies and I pity you!

    As for you, my dear friend, stay strong and keep doing what you’re doing because you are awesome!
    Lots of love and hugz ❤

    • Patty, thanks for your kind words and words of encouragement. I am humbled by your compliment coming from a successful published author and great poet. That means a lot to me.

      Your wish of getting them to your blog might come true, as they have the tendency to send comments to bloggers who post here, threatening them with defamation unless they stop associating with me. Those comments accuse me of being everything evil on earth, Mars, Venus, and undiscovered galaxies of their own imagination. 🙂

  5. It’s too bad you have to go through all this to have your blog. You shouldn’t be harassed for a blog. Hope WordPress decides to offer protection for their bloggers. It’s not fun having a blog that is harassed all the time.
    There are blogs that just blog about Gardens or Dogs or Golden Retrievers. . . Why can’t you blog about the subject you are passionate about?

      Thanks for your kind words of support and encouragement.

      The perpetrators first alleged that their harassment was justified because people were “lying” about George Zimmerman. After the verdict in the Zimmerman case, they unzipped and exposed themselves all the way. It was never about GZ. Rather, it’s about their White Supremacist ideologies.

        • Carol, the problem is that the cyber-extortionists do not know my race. (Whispering) Guess what? My race is human. (Back to normal tone.)

          Before I was attacked, I never publicly posted it, and no one asked. In their first volley of threatening comments, they accused me of being an old White woman who would run if I saw Trayvon coming towards me.

          Knowing that they wanted to know my race, I never publicly posted it. If anyone in our Blackbutterfly7 family presumes it, I allow that because I believe that we are one. We came to know of each other by our written words; expressing our hearts and minds. And still, no one has publicly asked the color of my skin.

          The only people that is important to are the cyber-hate-crime extortionists.

          • Wonderful. No one on regular blogs were people are civil ask about it, others just mention it. I did because I have not walked in another’s shoes. But I wouldn’t have run if I saw him. I probably wouldn’t have because I’d be watching the road and scanning to make sure a child or pet wasn’t going dart out in front of me. People assume what they shouldn’t. I hope this harassment stops though. We need good people blogging and a diversity of people commenting.

  7. Xena, These people go above and beyond the racist agenda that is to be found in the blog’s of admitted bigots. Perhaps in a land and time far away we as a society will not have to deal with people like them. It was said before, but I will say it also, at no point have I ever heard you or any of the regular posters say or imply anything that was not positive and uplifting… Perhaps at some time they will learn that while none of us has to always agree with others, we must always afford the same respect as we wish to receive…

      Love you brother. I’ve often thought that one reason they try to provoke is because they have no evidence to support their accusations. If they don’t know by now that there is nothing in me that wants to return evil for evil, then they are kicking sand, wasting time, trying to provoke me into fights with them. One likes to put links in comments to other blogs. I ignore them — have no interest in reading anything they like. 🙂

        • Brenda,
          The majority of them have been identified. The ring leader is in his mid 40’s and holds to White Supremacist ideologies. He is joined at the hip by a man in his late 30’s who is disabled and an admitted sovereign citizen.

          They have 3 women doing their dirty work. One just completed college, is of Viet Nam descent, and is friends with the White Supremacist’s daughter. They met in college. I suppose that denigrating Blacks is her way of making herself feel acceptable by White Supremacists.

          Another purports being a woman online, but is actually a man. Age unknown. The other is a fairly young woman who had a relative murdered in Florida, and resents that Sybrina and Tracy were able to do what her relatives could not in getting an investigation. Her actions are motivated by an idea that Blacks have too much power and are unwilling to share it to help her family.

          Then another is a woman in Texas who holds to White Supremacist ideologies.

          This group is assisted by several others who stay away from submitting racist comments, but work to dox, intimidate and spread rumors. There is one whose assignment is to instigate by innocently asking pointed questions on blogs to introduce his comrades and what they have written on other blogs about others.

          You are correct about the best revenge.

    Xena, I’m so sorry you are having to go through this. I used to post (rarely) on Frederick Leatherman’s Law Blog, but finally stopped when I got attacked by some of his most avid (rabid) followers. I’ve noticed that they tend to attack anyone who varies the least bit from their own views and will often run off anyone who disagrees with them. Sometimes the people you think you can feel comfortable around politically turn out to be the most vicious in their attacks. I do hope that you able to get everything worked out. Take care.

Those who violate law by sending racial harassing comments may have thought the blog was shut down when they could no longer access it using proxy IP addresses, but that’s because they were trying to violate law while keeping their identity hidden.

    • Groans!!!! Your comment goes to show that good does come out of evil.

      Thanks for your kind words. I’ve learned good from their evil. You probably know that it’s been said that people need to experience things in order to understand them and what others experience. I had not been exposed to adult bullying until Sept. 2012 when opening this blog. One thing I notice is how they either assume, or outright lie, in hope of provoking victims to give them more personal information.

      Now, I can help others to understand the purpose for that, not be provoked to return evil for evil, and not take baits. Mainly, I hope to one day be able to share this with children so they feel no guilt in being targeted for bullying. The experience of knowing how harassers use proxy IP addresses will hopefully be beneficial to those who write regulations and legislation. These things take time, but a dream conceived in truth never dies.

    • The threats and methods used by those cyber-extortionists who have attacked this blog, not only includes attempt to deprive of us free speech, but it is racial harassment to deprive us of our right to freely associate with others regardless of race. We currently have a truck load of comments that were sent to other bloggers warning them of defamation and threatening harm, if they continue to associate with “black racists” and “White guilt idiots.”

      I’ve come to the conclusion that they all have serious dysfunctions. It’s not only because of their harassment, but also because the same things they tried in 2012 to humiliate me to remove this blog and my internet presence, are the same things that they do today in 2015.

It is a very confusing experience and difficult to explain in terms other people can understand. When people can give clear accounts they are very valuable because most people aren’t able to. And the
            point is to expose their tactics/methods. I am glad you put up your account. the more people who do, the better.
