kid glove reactions. " Arabs and Muslims in this country undergoing huge amounts of prejudice, bigotry and sometimes outright violence" so people react in an opposite direction. That makes sense. But what of the 'Gays and Blacks in this country undergoing huge amounts of prejudice, bigotry and sometimes (actually regularly) outright violence'?
When will Americans say 'there has been so much prejudice and bigotry and violence against African Americans that we will bear no word of criticism no matter what!'
And what of LGBT people? Not enough bigotry against us to buy us protection? The violence against us is somehow acceptable?
I come to DU the morning after the election to read that LGBT people were to blame for the losses. But no one can criticize execution of gay people in Muslim countries?
Look at this shit. Look at it:
""The openness and brazenness of the LBGT agenda and the media flaunting of gay marriages all across the country cost Dems dearly and threatens to do so in the future."
