In reply to the discussion: Are some of my friends in this forum being targeted by the jury system for what they post here ? [View all]leveymg
(36,418 posts)83. This isn't really about 1Strong, as far as I'm concerned.
It's about the meme. This thread is thick with speculation that somehow there's some sort of conspiracy to get 1Strong or against members of this group. The point needs to be made that his post was hidden because it contains a meme that is found to be particularly obnoxious by many at DU.
The point certainly is not to disrupt this group or to accuse 1Strong of being a racist. That's not what I said. I just want people to think about what 1Strong wrote, and please consider why it was viewed as offensive.
