1. Is there just a whole lot of stupid floating around in the air or something?
I saw that thread and stayed out of it.

There was enough offensive crap coming from the thread about the 14 year old girl who got tasered and the taster penetrated her skull. Yet those who decry the abuse of police power are like racists who don't like whatever race because "they didn't like me" once upon a time.

I swear there is really something wrong with people in this country.

You always state the facts, just as they are.

That was some of the most offensive and ignorant crap I've seen in a long time. There are some truly sick, simple, bigoted assholes in this country.

3. See, this is one of the major disadvantages of being 14.5 hours ahead of EST
I'm so far ahead of stuff sometimes I'm late for it!

I did not even SEE this thread. I've been in GD ten times today and completely missed it. What the hell is the OP smoking? And I won't even go into the five or so people who actually AGREED with him. :crazy:

Bloo kicked ass as well as OM. Props to both and I'm glad that they're both hanging out in AAIG. Heidi was on point too.

Love this point from Omega:

"But if this OP reflects a level of miseducation and misinformation and ignorance that is representative of Democrats and Progressives, liberals and centrists, we in trouble big time."

Black folks have been saying this for a loooooong time. :) It always tickles and yet, simultaneously infuriates black and brown people that Democrats like to pretend that racism is solely a Republican commodity.

Oh my God. I just read the conversation in that OP about "n*gga." Oh my Lord, what rock under what bridge did some of these idiots crawl out from under???

"Yet Another Oppressed White People's Thread." I wish that alone would get the OP a pizza delivery.

Don't they get tired of their willful ignorance on display? One would think so. :eyes:

5. People like that I aways want to ask them why they think
it's any of their business anyway? Why does it matter? What difference does it make?

White people defined what black folks in this country were called for centuries, so as far as I'm concerned black people have, at the very least, the right to define themselves without any help or input from white people!!

7. No one ever said being a Dem meant being open minded.
I've noted there are a few racists and sexists on this site.
