In reply to the discussion: Du unhinged again over AA posters. [View all]whatthehey
(3,660 posts)But all the examples posted, plus one I can add myself below, have made it pretty clear. I don't know what to say guys, I really don't except this is nuts. I'm not even sure who is and is not an AA poster for the most part and I hate that it seems necessary to keep track so I can be sure I do not inadvertently assist this lunacy. Why you have to face this here I truly have no idea.On Wed Nov 4, 2015, 08:32 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

ALERTER'S COMMENTS
"negro problem"
Racial slurs are not appropriate on DU, not even in jest.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Nov 4, 2015, 08:37 AM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Silly as response.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Would "Non-Caucasian American problem" be better? Jeez.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: For a start it's used by a black poster. For another thing it is a current phrase and for another it is a term used actively and non-disparagingly by the black community at lasrge, unless the laudable college fund of the same name is somehow racist towards itself?
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: "Negro problem" is a term from the Civil Rights fights of the '50s and '60s.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
