(5,402 posts)Which is exactly the opposite of what the OP is saying.
The OP isn't just saying there are racists that come to DU, but that there are many racists on DU constantly and he faces racism every day on DU. He gives the following examples as common occurrences.
* "seeing black people silenced for speaking their mind"
* "seeing our white allies silenced for standing up for us"
* "always being called an angry black man for no reason"
I agree there are the occasional racist trolls that wander through, and as soon as they reveal their true intent, the system tends to work by kicking them out. Not always, but usually.
But what this OP references simply isn't so. He is unfortunately stirring up a pot of doodoo by labelling everyone on DU as a racist, and he is probably laughing his ass off that so many people fell for the bait.
