Showing Original Post only (View all)I implore you to let my friends speak and be heard, free from fear of retribution and retaliation! [View all]
My dear friend , 1StrongBlackMan, whom I would literally take a bullet for had a post hidden for defending himself against suggestions he is a previously banned poster and the resurrection of the poster, Hamden Rice:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251516376
That is a calumny. It is libelous. Nothing could be further from the truth. 1SBM is an attorney and has done more with his life , has made more contributions to his community, and is more successful, despite coming from humble origins, than one thousand of his detractors put together.
I will sign an affidavit under penalty of perjury he is not Hamden Rice.
I am still filled with a righteous anger so I will continue my rant...Sweet Jesus, I am still burning...
My party, the Democratic party, is nearly forty five percent people of color yet you could fit all the people of color who post at Democratic Underground on a regular basis in a 7-11 ... There is something wrong!!!
You can't say someone is your equal and refuse to let him or her speak their mind.

The behavior has the duel whammy of being totalitarian and pusillanimous.

I read the various posts and can only conclude that 1SBM was unfairly accused.

If you are slow on the uptake it must be only those posts that I have not read.

They can't debate him successfully, so they appear to be going for the next best thing.
