Looks like someone might be gunning for you.


On Tue Mar 31, 2015, 03:54 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

The ultimate red neck beloved organization comes out in opposition to Indiana
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026442321

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Sorry, but I think it is rude to call an organization based on a stereotype such as 'Reneck' when there are supporters here at DU who enjoy NASCAR racing. Legendary racer Jeff Gordon is an Obama supporter and Nascar came out quickly to oppose Pence's law. I think it is rude to assume that all NASCAR fans are *REDNECKS* and it is insensitive to start a thread with a headline as such.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Mar 31, 2015, 03:58 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is not an easy call but red neck is a pejorative and it's not okay to use it just because it's being used on folks we don't like. But I will still vote to let it be.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Stupid alert.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Left alone, but not PC to use the term red neck anymore
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It is a sport beloved by rednecks though - I don't think the OP was saying only Rednecks love NASCAR or liking NASCAR makes you a redneck, I think he was saying Rednecks love NASCAR. Which is demonstrably true. El Bryanto
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Nah - doesn't need to be blocked.
