(24,810 posts)I haven't been too active here. I read four posts that I definitely would not have voted to hide. I read another that seemed to me to imply that a white crowd in itself connotes the presence of white supremacists. While I think there are probably plenty of white supremacists among white people generally, that seemed to me to be a generalization, the type of which has been blocked here at DU over the years. I wouldn't have gotten any TV reference about burning things or people, and probably would have voted to hide that. Generally speaking, I'd vote to hide things that use what I consider to be foul language (F***, etc.) directed toward a specific person, or what I find to be gratuitous insults not based on a specific political position.
I also saw another reference to "white supremacists supporters." I don't now if that meant a crowd a white supremacists, or supporters of a specific white supremacists candidate. That also seems out of line of what I've seen at DU over the years, and a pretty broad generalization.
