...that white liberals and everyone else should be able to discuss racism without a fainting couch at the ready.

Clearly, that's not the case here at DU. If DUers were able to have constructive discussions surrounding racism and race relations, Sobax wouldn't have two hides in this thread.

re: "White liberals are supposed to be able to discuss this shit, it is what makes us different from teaparty assholes"

Granted, sometimes the garbage gets so stinky that it just has to be taken out, however, that was a pretty quick cleanup today on aisles 4 and 8.

Too many alerts and subsequent hides tend to stifle discussion on this topic.
