It's not the story, but the video that plays at the link which is a voicemail left by a Trump supporter to Art of the Deal writer Tony Schwartz. Be warned, its like diving into the mind of an insane person..

Proctor & Gamble anti-racism ad: The Talk

Apologies if this has already been posted, I couldn't find a thread. Absolutely beautifully made, and it had me on the brink of tears.

Inevitably its stirred up the racist right, who can't stand the thought of people actually speaking the truth.

Accusations of 'concern'

For a while now people appear to be trying to get around the rules on attacking posters, by posting snarky replies to some posters about how they seem 'concerned' or directly that they are 'concern trolls'. This is nothing more than an accusation that the original poster is a right wing troll or generally not a legitimate Democrat, and is used frequently to try and drive away people with differing opinions.

Refering to the TOS:

"No divisive group attacks
Do not smear, insult, vilify, bait, maliciously caricature, or give disrespectful nicknames to any groups of people that are part of the Democratic coalition, or that hold viewpoints commonly held by Democrats, or that support particular Democratic public figures. Do not imply that they are fake Democrats, fake progressives, conservatives, right-wingers, Republicans, or the like. "

Could we clarify please whether this constitutes a breach of the TOS and as such whether we should be alerting on this behavior?
