In reply to the discussion: forty thousand XL protesers in Washington DC this Sunday [View all]The Straight Story
(48,121 posts)On DU have been busy answering charges I am not aware that white people have had it better than other races in the US, fighting for the right to hold open a door without having to fill out a questionnaire first, and dodging covers of magazines because I don't know which ones to be upset about enough (actually, all photos are suspect now).
I doubt my Canadian friends would be all that welcome here. The are Indian and believe in all sorts of things here others call woo. From their own tribal medicine to 'being stupid/ignorant because they believe in invisible sky beings'.
The 'activism' on DU is trying to 'educate' other du'ers about things they already know about usually, or to try to shame them into a corner until they accept that there is only one possible religion, err belief, and that if you don't agree on every single point you hate others and don't care about their issues.
It is like a soap opera that others come here to watch. Whereas they used to come to get news and information and ideas.
We have seen the enemy on DU, and it is almost everyone on DU.
