For the 7th time ... [View all]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by bluesbassman (a host of the General Discussion forum).

spoken out loud, but not in the thread because in a show of solidarity, I had a post hidden ...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=5697303

I DID NOT CALL, SAY, IMPLY, NOR INFER THAT WILLIAMPITT IS A RACIST, OR HAS SAID ANYTHING RACIST.

WHAT I SAID WAS:

Post 1 (Hidden) http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=5696448:

Yeah ... Who can forget his calling President Obama a POS Used Car Salesman ... that there is a best and brightest pillar of DU for the ages!

Rates right up there with another pillar telling watermelon jokes. Or, that other pillar telling a Black DUer to get a job and go back to watching Housewives of Atlanta.


And then:

I just indicated that calling President Obama a POS Used Car Salesman AND making racists comments ... both of which should be frowned upon on a site named DemocraticUnderground; but instead, both, qualifies one as the best and brightest pillars of DU.


But I guess my fatal flaw was saying anything against the best and brightest pillar of DU, because as two jurors said:

Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: You could tell this guy you drive a blue car and he'd find a way to twist it into something racial.

Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Yeah, the racist association is too much.


I guess all I can say is reading IS fundamental!
