REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

YOUR COMMENTS

I'm sorry but this is some racist stuff, claiming black men are the cause of the lack of racial income inequality because they 'walk away' from their families. Never mentions that they are disproportionately incarcerated and arrested.
Also blames black women for having 'lots' of kids. This is a right wing argument that i heard from Paul Ryan and Newt Gengrich. Please hide this. We have few black poster left and they are being driven off by stuff like this.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Wed May 14, 2014, 02:45 PM, and voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT ALONE.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Seems racist but we have to allow people to express themselves... they are exposing who they are.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Actually, it seems any mention of race is racist these days. Point out in the thread, what is wrong with the poster's opinion. Why run to the alert button? And he did mention incarceration despite you saying he didn't.

As for: "We have few black poster left and they are being driven off by stuff like this" , anyone who is so easy to drive off due to one person's opinion, mistaken or not, probably doesn't want to be here anyway.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I disagree, this is not a racist reply. If it's really as bad as you think, you should be able to defeat the argument in a fair discussion. After all, this is a political discussion board.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Sounds like a litany of 'us versus them'. Maybe if it was worded differently but...no.

Thank you.


I am posting this because the post under discussion was alerted by me and i think everyone should see the jury responses.
