So when is saying F Word okay on DU?
***************************AFRICAN AMERICAN GROUP*******************
There seems to be a time and a place when some things are acceptable and some are not. Saying it to and about this President ( our AA President is a Okay!) KnR to the top of the page. Disrespect for our African American President is at an all time high. It is lauded and applauded and recommended to the top of the page. There is a new one tonight! There is never a hide by a jury for diminishing this man, did I just fall through the rabbit hole here? Or just slip into Discussionist.
So why when I made a post about Race in America, and yes, I said
" **** you America, you break our hearts. YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS!" Ferguson: Race and Justice in the U.S. that related to an excellent film one that was heartbreaking realities of today in black America. That was hidden.
Let me sum it up here:
It is acceptable to say it to our AA President, then dismiss and ridicule him. Not acceptable to point out to America how messed up we are as a country where it has become an everyday occurrence, actually every 28 minutes a PoC is killed.
In the days before the funeral of 18-year-old Ferguson, Mo., resident Michael Brown, two black pundits appeared on CNN to debate what his killing meant for race relations in America.
"Every 28 hours," Lamont Hill said. "Every 28 hours, Larry. Larry, every 28 hours. According to the MXGM study, a black person is killed by law enforcement, vigilantes or security ..."
The report is not an academic, unbiased representation of these deaths. It was put together by one volunteer researcher and details 313 deaths based on news clips and police reports. It arrives at one death "every 28 hours" by dividing the number of hours in a year, 8,760, by the number of deaths, 313.
In fact, less than half of the people who were killed were unarmed, according to MXGM. PunditFact found 136 were labeled as unarmed after reviewing the compiled profiles.
When asked how often an unarmed black is shot by a cop, Hill answered "every 28 hours." He then referenced a report issued by the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement and said "that every 28 hours an unarmed black person is killed."
The report only classified 136 of 313 deaths as unarmed, which does not support his claim that an unarmed black person is shot by police every 28 hours.
We rate the claim False.
After the Fact
Marc Lamont Hill says he misspoke

After our fact-check published, Marc Lamont Hill said that he was incorrect to use the word "unarmed" in his CNN debate with Larry Elder.

8. If you're a "popular blogger" with a following here, anything goes.
You can threaten the life of another member and write them threatening PMs, be banned, then be allowed to return.
And you can then go on to compare the president to a used car salesman due to your own miscomprehension of how the ACA works, and your post will get hundreds of recs.
That's DU and it's selective enforcement and way of being inclusive and tolerant.
It really sucks.
Wee Willy? Please pick up the red phone...

45. It's my home away from home.
I started coming here a while ago. In the beginning I asked if it was okay to post, one member told me yes. There is no problem with you responding here. It is like the BOG in a way, yet so much more enlightening in so many ways. So much history. So many stories. Actually, for what I know of you Hekate and the support you have given me, I believe you would be welcome here.
As a white person, I see one more ally. We do this together or we don't do it at all.
Have you not read all the "How Whitey can support us by STFU" fliers from the race riots?

Shesquared is a white female lesbian so your arguement is WRONG.
