IMHO you cannot eradicate racism or sexism by always pointing to a person's gender or skin color and that is what has been happening on DU.
Two years ago the old, white males were essentially told to sit down and shut up on DU. Now I am not an old white male, but I could see the beginning of a seed being planted and some took offense.
Did you speak up and condemn the offense or did you try and foment the racial divide?
Racial divides go in both directions, nobody should feel that their opinion is subordinate to another. That is the whole point, we cannot try and gain equality by stepping on another's back!
