I suspect the first post there was intended to show how offensive most of DU had unintentionally been regarding the zoo thing - but nobody replying was able to pick up on it; they all took it at face value.
The problem is that this is not the first time DU has bemoaned the quaint religious preferences of negro persons. Anyone who was around when CA Prop 8 was voted upon will recall how the DUmmies waved their fists at the negro persons who dared vote YES on religious grounds. The unspoken Dem message to black folk is: "
Hey ni**er, we're working hard to get you your welfare checks, so the least you can do in return is quit your bullshit religious practices."
The thread is not going so well for the moron (who was trying to be ironic) exactly because it is utterly and completely true, thus wringing from it any notion of satire whatsoever.
Another facet of the debacle is that DUmmies, to a man, assumed that the child and family in question was white. When the opposite turned out to be true, they had to redirect their ire lest they be seen critiquing a negro person on a Dem message board. The redirection of that ire found purchase when the family in question turned out to be religious.
Lurking DUmmies, that odd emotion you are experiencing right now comes from the denial portion of your brains gathering its muster to do battle with the truth part of your brains.
