Is there anyway now that we can be considered not racist?

[woo me with science]

383. I'll go one step further.

There's an MO of deliberate swarm and attempted character assassination by a certain group, toward posters here who are particularly persistent in calling out the corruption of corporate Democrats in our government.

There is a pattern of such posters being targeted by the same small group and accused without basis of patterns of racism or sexism or other vile attitudes. It's part of a broader pattern by the same group of polluting threads with diversion or mocking and generally trying to make it unpleasant to express liberal opinons on a liberal board. I believe the goal is to publicly smear the character of, discredit the opinions of, or even drive away these persistent voices calling out corporate corruption.

It has happened to Will Pitt. It has happened to Manny Goldstein. It has happened to most of us who call out corporate hypocrisy and corruption on a regular basis. And madfloridian is probably the most persuasive, knowledgeable, and eloquent poster we have at DU when it comes to education and how it is being corrupted by the corporate agenda of this administration and other corporate Democrats.

Smear/attempted character assassination is a despicable tactic used against those considered political threats and enemies, and unfortunately the same, familiar group gets away with this behavior over and over again at DU.
