If a conversation about race is lacking in everything but ignorance and idiocy

ETA - This is in the AA Group - a Protected Group at DU.ADDITIONAL ETA - I've addressed it and the post hidden that was posted by Number23 in GD - should this get alerted on- be aware of what is going on around here - http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=5521039
And one points that out - is that a bad thing?
Hypothetically speaking/writing - is that a bad thing?
I posted this in the African American group for a reason. Evidently a fellow host received an alert and a hide for doing this. What is interesting is that yesterday I was going to alert MIRT to the person this host was responding too - but said -
Adrienne - just let's wait and see how this plays out. Let's see if the one sentence responses reveal themselves as something more.
Now - what to do?
= new reply since forum marked as read
ETA - sorry M0rpheus - I saw red. But I mean everything else. Ip
My subject line is my co-host's words.
It's sort of like when seabeyond had me post the white privilege video. What? 300 Recs?
Had she posted it - it would have been hidden in five minutes.
Folks - I've literally *tee hee* told people in GD to take their outrage elsewhere and get off of my back.
We've got to start doing that.
Get off my back <--- Go inflict your outrage on someone who will take it <---- These are clear and easy ways to tell someone to go scratch without getting a hide.
It appears that even here, we can't get away from the:
meme.
They'll follow us all over the site to protect those precious fee-fees.
So sending Bainsbane a link to this on FB when I get home tonight!
Don't worry, I'm not
He knows what he's doing to you ladies.
it makes it harder for them to "find" us when we do,

This place is so full of fucking crazy I am DYING. Wonder what it feels like to get one of those time outs for five hidden posts???
Yes, absolutely yes. One of the stupidest conversations I've had in... forever was with a poster here that said it was impossible for liberals to be racist. I got so many PM's about that exchange with people absolutely convinced that person just had to be yanking our chains it wasn't even funny.
'Bout that hidden post, if that's not a deliberate attempt to shut up some folks I don't know what is. The alerter even typed that the post I linked to accusing 1SBM of posting nothing but "divisive bullshit" was not a personal attack!
JAG said it so perfectly when she said that a year from now, these folks will be sitting an arguing with themselves after they've run all of the minority posters away. And then DU will somehow find itself even MORE cut off from the Democratic Party and American politics in general. And of course, they'll all be scratching their heads trying to figure out how it happened.
I was not the slightest bit surprised by those supporting MM and criticizing black posters like Liberal Stalwart for voicing their displeasure with his idiotic comments. Those people saying "Michael Moore was COMPLIMENTING Obama!!one" have shown their cluelessness so many times you'd have to be crazy not to believe that it's real.
