I ask all DUers who serve on juries to hide bigoted slurs.


By that I mean all racial, sexual, sexual orientation, and other slurs applied to groups of people when asked to serve on a jury. All of them. Mild or vile, common or rare. Slurs that attack others or that are self-deprecating. There is never any useful service that is aided by their use, and we're supposed to be people who respect other people as groups. Individuals can be vile, awful people, and should be strongly criticized, but applying bigoted names of any kind to them should not be part of the DU community standards.

This is not about any particular thread. I've posted in many of them to object to the use of the words of bigotry. This is a request of DUers to act responsibly when on DU juries.

Thank you for reading.

What the hell is he talking about?

Does this mean that MineralMan is using his white privilege?

Republicans are a group. Surely you don't intend to protect them from derogatory and bigoted slurs?

That is how you mole :cheersmate:

Meaningless without the date and time.

Less than three hours after his "cracker" rant.

Great find, Carl!

Was my initial thought anyway as well...if they are truly slurs, then how can a feeling liberal allow words such as "teabagger", amongst the dozens of other derogatory terms they commonly accept for the right?

DU would dry up if they put the kibosh on calling Republicans names.
