In reply to the discussion: Du unhinged again over AA posters. [View all]Behind the Aegis
(53,921 posts)28. I am seeing a number of hides based on generalities.
That is to say, juries are hiding posts which do not attack any one group, but are speaking in general terms. It is hard to believe people are alerting on them, much less seeing them hide them. It is one thing to say "Sanders/Clinton supporters are..." or "The African American group is..." or even "DU'ers are....", and the last one is a still a stretch in my mind and I doubt I would hide it unless it was followed by something really bad, but to speak in terms of "there are those who..." and "some people are..." are not alertable IMO and almost never hideable (there's always an exception).
