(10,745 posts)Unfortunately, it's been my more recent experience, that some of the fringe elements on our own side(or supposedly on our own side), have also taken to accusing white (mainstream) liberals of collective racism themselves, for whatever reason.....including by a select few here on DU(who, unfortunately, have not yet been held to account for their actions.) And yet, ironically, even here, a good number of these accusers seem to be white themselves.....what they may possibly hope to gain from such, I have no clue. In any case, do they honestly not realize how close to rightist spew some of their rhetoric sounds like? Honestly, some of this stuff I've read over the years, with a few words replaced and a few other tweaks, could appear as if it'd been taken straight from the mouths of Bill O'Reilly or Michael Savage(or Jesse Peterson, maybe)!
And honestly, this kind of infighting doesn't help us one bit.....and I find it all too funny, too, that most of the problems on this site in that regard, started not too long after Obama was elected.....
(P.S., I do have at least one link on file of such an accusation thrown in my direction; albeit not directly stated in that exact way, the intent was certainly there. I'll PM it to you if you may be interested.)
Look someone can be Archie Bunker personified in their own lives and that is their right but when they start trying to write that prejudice into law and take away the rights of others, I think a line has to be drawn, and they become an enemy.
This. Times a Thousand. When are people going to wake the fuck up?
