233. You forgot racist.
Sun Jul 19, 2015, 04:01 PM
Jul 2015

And I don't care if that addition gets me a hide.

The racism is thick and heavy on DU lately, with all the White crybabies feeling personally attacked when systemic racism is pointed out, and when people try to inform about Black issues and concerns. It's downright nauseating to see how many so-called liberals, progressives, and lefties are more concerned with the words and tone Black Americans are using when they literally shout for their very lives, than they care about the fact that, you know, Black Americans are being murdered by the nation's cops. It's downright contemptible, and it makes me disgusted.

Good post! bravenak Jul 2015 #1
