Any chance we could give the grave-dancing posts a rest, maybe?

116. Unfortunately, there may be some truth to that.

I reported a particularly objectionable post which ended up tarring a large majority of this nation's liberals, simply because they might not agree with his interpretation of certain things. I might as well post the proof, for those who might be skeptical:

"AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your alert On Thu Aug 28, 2014, 08:24 PM you sent an alert on the following post:

I, for one, am completely okay tarring racists as racists.

REASON FOR ALERT

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

YOUR COMMENTS

This post would have already been problematic in general, but this is what really caught my eye: "And if three-quarters of Liberals fail to see the blatantly obvious white privilege in this country, then three-quarters of Liberals are at least a little bit racist."

Now, how in the hell can someone justify that kind of talk? There are MANY liberals in this country who don't believe in "white privilege" but who DO understand the reality of institutional injustice, and some of whom are actually on the front lines fighting for it. And yet, this person labels them all as racist simply because they don't agree with this person's terminology. Goddamn. Do we really want this kind of self-righteous bullshit accepted on this website? This is, at the very least, a high-end Community Standards violation. And in fact, claims like this should probably be TOSable as well.

I, for one, am sick and tired of this nonsense. Enough's enough.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Thu Aug 28, 2014, 08:40 PM, and voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT ALONE.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: semantics..........
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I am white and am incredulous that anyone in our society could deny the fact of white privilege, which is endemic at every level. Anyone who does so is in deep denial of the reality which surrounds them and are, in my opinion, racists.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: truth is truth.....

Thank you."

And, what's worse is, Jurors #3 and #7 seemed to have actually agreed with this person's extremist statements. So something's definitely a little off with the jury system and I hope that it can be fixed at some point.
