Oh lord! Mg insanity!

I left that party waaaay too early. Gonna throw this one in my journal! That way I can find it by subject line! I've got to pm a few ladies your link.

Interesting

Fair point

Good question.

Amen to that

And the information is always presented with a matter of fact approach and with transparent POSITIVE intent.

If you say so!

Oh dear

I wonder if they were on ignore at the time. For awhile I had a few key words completely trashed so I wouldn't be bothered by nonsense.

Is that one where I would have to give my new "canned" response of "Oh Fiddle Dee!"? Sounds like it would be REALLY appropriate for that one!

kick and rec

Hey

Let me fetch that other link for you!

We really need a blinking while innocent smiley/emoticon at DU.

And now this one goes in my journal too - for safe keeping.

Didn't you post an apology for this? eom

Call on me bettyellen

Call on me!

I can't try to identify 'intent' by a poster at DU - but I think once again - what gets said in PM's and in other places away from DU in speaks volumes.

Just in case you forgot - this was *I think* in response to black Americans and specifically those at DU (to include this star member) being kind of about a school celebrating black history month by serving 'stereotypical' foods. I think MrScorpio did a pretty good job - if anyone is interested in digging into this stereotype of pointing out just why the school was being ignorant.

Then the same poster posted an apology.

Okay - so in the 'margins' we all sort of discussed it and well - it's like when someone says, "Hey no offense!" after making a joke about black people around black people.

You wink, smile, maybe even nod your head - but that individual is never to be respected again. Polite is one thing- respect or taking seriously is another.

In real life - nothing to do with DU or even this thread - just in real life I tend to treat those people that I encounter as too wet to step on and too low to kick because they *think* they've gotten away with something but then I can always come to DU and ridicule them or snicker and giggle about it with my husband.

Just snicker and giggle - because you aren't crazy. That happened. We both know it happened. And from this distance it seems so obvious . . .
