386. Exceptionally well said, heaven. I'm also curious if a person who seems to be scanning this thread

Mon Apr 27, 2015, 01:13 AM

Apr 2015

for my moniker will feel the need to now reply to me yet again with a bunch of bewildering inanities.

So I wanted to say I agree with your post and conduct my little experiment at the same time.

As for the bit about dog whistles, as I said upthread, these folks don't care. They make that as clear and plain as day. Some of these folks dog whistle like the most rabid Freeper to cheers from others here all the while patting themselves on the back with how "worldly" and "informed" they are. These are also the same folks who are never in a thread about racism and squirm like grubs when the talk goes to white privilege.

Like I said upthread, I'm glad to see so many calling them out and it is truly fascinating and extremely interesting to notice who here seems to be so utterly DISCOMFORTED by the notion of black folks, women and gays calling somebody out for their behavior. And the fact that the ones who seem so put out have NEVER shown any genuine solidarity with the Democratic party or the true members of its base should come as no surprise to anyone.
