1. well that`s..............

mind numbing.

[amdezurik]

2. just wonder where this meme came from

really looks like some people want to start a black vs. LGBT war. is it being organized some place? all these threads saying the exact same thing in mostly the exact same way.

[smiley_glad_hands]

4. The trolls were paid thru the month, they have to do something. eom

[amdezurik]

6. sadly kind of believable...

[smiley_glad_hands]

8. But it goes both ways on this issue. eom

[MNBrewer]

9. what goes both ways?

[smiley_glad_hands]

10. The peristance of "troll" like posts meant to divide the DU community. eom

[amdezurik]

18. I have yet to see a single one saying

"It's all the fault of those black people that prop 8 passed" yet I saw at least a donzen threads accusing the entire DU commuinty of that believing that very thing. At this point it IS all one way...

[yardwork]

20. I've noticed the same thing. About a half dozen posters are all over DU calling out racists.

When you ask them to point to a "racist" post or thread they don't respond, just pop up a couple of threads over with the same dire warnings about "racists taking over DU" and how "the racists should be shunned" and most of all how "concerned they are about this racism."

I posted a thread pointing out that the damn exit poll might not even be accurate and not one of those crying "racist!" even bothered to post. Instead I got yelled at by a bunch of other posters upset about the decision and calling me a homophobe. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Then I came over here and read a thread picking on masculine-looking lesbians. Holy Christmas on a cracker.

[Cherchez la Femme]

26. Hardly a deft move

--in fact more ham-handed--

to drive more of a wedge between important factions of the Democratic Party instead of promoting unity.

This guy believes everything he see's on TV as real, even though LGBT's are barely out of their own 'Different Strokes' era of television;
i.e. stereotypes and wishful thinking,
one program on PBS notwithstanding.

[tblue]

3. I don't fucking get it.

That post is from another planet.

A lot of black people are very religious (read: social conservative) and a lot of Christian churches oppose gay marriage. I don't think the explanation is all that hard to wrap a brain around.

[Veritas_et_Aequitas]

5. And there's also a cultural component, I think.

Of course, I learned that from an episode of Law and Order: SVU, so I make no assertions about it's accuracy.

[amdezurik]

19. there were also so many many lies from the yes cabal

at least one of the last minute ones directly lied and said Obama wanted it to pass (he is against taking rights away) so a lot of people who were BHO voters were fed total bullshit right before they went into the booth. That kind of crap is easy to infect people with and much harder to correct if not caught right away, and there simply was no time...

[regnaD kciN]

7. "I see tombstoned people..."

:evilgrin:

[Jamastiene]

13. ...

:rofl:

[kenny blankenship]

11. Takes about all the self control I can muster to stay out of shit like that.

Damn those poor gay people buying rundown houses and making them look nice! Damn them to hell!

[Jamastiene]

14. ...

:rofl:

[MountainLaurel]

17. No kidding

:shrug:

[Jamastiene]

12. Huh?

Far out!

I'm not even sure what to say. So, I am just going to sit my impoverished mixed race lesbian butt back and wonder :wtf: they are talking about. I have to admit though. I'm not sure whether to :puke: or :popcorn:

Thread summary: white guy tells black guy that he cannot speak critically of problems he perceives in the black community.

[yardwork]

21. That one is just unbelievable.

[QC]

22. Have you ever seen such smug, self-righteous twittery in your life?

It's like this guy is the Great White Father who seeks to protect his naive black children from themselves.

Oh well, we have long complained about straights who want to lecture us on what we should do, and now it is clear that we are not the only ones who have to deal with that sort of thing.

[yardwork]

23. LOL! That made me laugh, which I needed.

"Smug, self-righteous twittery" is exactly right! Mind if a borrow?

[QC]

25. Please feel free. n/t

[readmoreoften]

28. I cannot fucking fathom "correcting" someone about their experience in their ethnic community.

Fucking white privilege at its best.

[QC]

31. Yes, white privilege that is utterly clueless about its own privilege. n/t

[jonnyblitz]

35. there was one white/straight lady from San Franscico that was in

Bronxboy's thread essentially doing the same thing to him. I asked her to please put me on ignore after she told me I should be ashamed for fanning the flames...

[QC]

40. Yes, I know the one you are talking about.

She absolutely *adores* racebaiting people. It's about all I have ever seen her do in all her years at DU.

She's generally pretty quiet, until there's an opportunity for a good racebaiting spree, at which point she makes a pot of good, strong coffee and stays up all night doing what she does best.

[QC]

41. Now she just accused someone of racebaiting.

That's like Dean Martin saying that someone drinks too much, or Charles Manson calling somebody crazy.

[yardwork]

24. Here's another good one. Synopsis of subthread: Gays are offensive to blacks.

27. Here's another stupid, hateful post from someone who specializes in them.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=4399114&mesg_id=4413742

[jonnyblitz]

29. i am getting about sick of that asshole.

I need to calm the fuck down. my body temperature is way the fuck up over these posts on here. how many fucking people have to start there own thread about "why are you blaming the black community". jesus fucking christ. I don't know where to begin with these people over and over and over and over...

[QC]

30. The simple--if unfortunate--truth is that many people come here

purely to have a place to be ugly to others without consequences. They are addicted to conflict and hatred, and they use DU to gratify that addiction.

What I don't understand is why such people, who are little better than sociopaths, are allowed to stick around.

[jonnyblitz]

33. I have thought the EXACT same thing.nt

[QC]

34. SO why are they still here?

The forum rules clearly say:

People who repeatedly and willfully break the rules, or who generally engage in rude, anti-social behavior, will be banned. It doesn't matter if you are a fellow progressive, a long-term member of this community, or a donor.

[jonnyblitz]

36. who knows. I often wonder why *I* am still after some of the nasty

stuff I have said, in response, to be honest. I can go off, too. :shrug:

[QC]

37. I should probably stay away more for the sake of my attitude and blood pressure,

but frankly watching this place is like staring at a grisly car wreck.

[Jamastiene]

38. I have decided to quit rewarding their behavior.

I'm not going to post in any of those flame bait brow beating race topics at all any more. They should be seen for the flame bait that they are. If we don't engage when they start that shit, then it is all on them.

Trust me. Let them talk amongst themselves long enough without us there and they'll insert their foot where a molar should be. Let them shit and fall back in it if they want to proclaim their perfection on the race issues. The truth will come out that they aren't so perfect and they'll be on their own to face that battle. A lot of them are actually shit stirrers who will eventually eat granite if we stay away from them and let them fuck their own selves up.

In the meantime,
:hug:

[QC]

32. Here's another real winner.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=4413318&mesg_id=4414286

Summary: Prop. 8 posts should be in a special forum because the issue does not affect the other 49 states.

[racaulk]

43. Request error: You are ignoring the author of this thread.

Well, I'm sure there's a good reason for THAT.

[QC]

39. "Not once have I seen anti-gay sentiment" on DU.

[Ellen Forradalom]

42. Yet another one

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4424185

[racaulk]

44. That person has made 23 posts on DU.

And that number includes the 18 (so far) replies to their very own OP? If this isn't solid proof that DUers need to have more posts under their belts before starting their own OPs, in order to better weed out the trolls, then I don't know what is.

[bluedawg12]

45. A couple of suspect replies in a good GLBT thread

keep an eye out.

On GLBT forum a touching thread:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=221x89874

These replies are off. Newbie not familiar with them.

[kenny blankenship]

47. It's all our fault. People wouldn't hate us if we didn't act so damn gay!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=221&topic_id=90363&mesg_id=91053

[Ellen Forradalom]

48. Really. Acting gay is just so gay

:eyes:

[QC]

51. Knuckledragging bigot alert! n/t

[Ellen Forradalom]

49. Oh trolls can be very patient

They have nothing better to do with their lives.

It's nothing to make 100 "Me Too!" posts. Hell, most of my nearly eight-year, 15,000 post history is me-too.

[CreekDog]

50. ridiculous

:banghead:

that post makes it sound like everybody acts like a stereotype of their group and assumes the groupings are mutually exclusive.

those kind of posts should be deleted.
