REASON FOR ALERT

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

YOUR COMMENTS

"the problem of hiphoppers killing each other just as surely as white supremacists are. " Wow can you get any more bigoted than this? Actually, to be fair, "hiphoppers killing each other" is dog-whistle speak for "black on black crime". Just like "states' rights" was the more polite version of segregation nostalgia when Reagan spoke in Philadelphia, MS in 1980.

Seriously. If you're gonna distract a discussion about racism against African-Americans by bringing up "well what about all the crap in black culture isn't that to blame?" sorry there's no reasoning whatsoever with you. This is not a "mere opinion" as jurors have said before. Nor "discuss, don't hide". This is naked bigotry. Don't try to say that and say "It doesn't matter to me what color a trigger finger is." This is some "I'm not prejudiced, but..." crap. Yuck!

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Mon Jun 16, 2014, 11:04 PM, and voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I think Rocktivity is posting a caricature of black people. That black people have to talk about more than racism but also about black on black crime. Really? You actually suggest that this is not talked about in the black community?

Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I'm sorry alerter. I'm on your side but this post does not violate the TOS or CS of this site.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: First, they are not killing each other. Second, that's an insensitive and ignorant comment. Hiphop is a genre of music just like any other. Leave the corporate media stereotypes at the door before posting about a serious topic that requires some thought and listening.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: At the risk of sounding like a complete dope, I think alerter is reading wa-a-a-ay too much into rocktivity's post.

Thank you.
