You actually create OPs (like the one referred to in this one) where you admittedly mock the "situation" (that would be DUers discussing racism) and then flat out deny it?
And you call me a liar for pointing it out? Take it to Skinner- perhaps he'll give you the benefit of the doubt that this isn't the hostile trashing of fellow progressives many others here have judged it to be.
Enough of this BS.
