(34,648 posts)Would not make sense. I'm questioning your consistancy and saying that if you are going to do this with him, you need to do it with everybody. And i told you that (most) white people do not notice they are doing it, it's not on purpose.
You just happened to handle it just like i thought you would. Which made me suspect you were, 1 not female, 2 white.
I just want to know why you haven't bothered to call out others who do the same thing. Why would you start with him. Did you call out Will Pitt or Manny? Their op were much worse, yet this op merits your disgust. I hope you were on those threads expressing your dissapproval, if not, then why this one? It should bother you that we, black people feel picked on here at DU at times and that there are so few of us. But if this is how you are going to respond to this innocuous thread, while letting many others by white DUer slide under the radar, what do you expect? Us not to feel 'more noticed'?
Go read the AA forum and see how we experience DU. It will help you understand and i believe in the future you will be more lenient with your judgements and may feel a bit bad.
