We slam people at F.R. for "groupthink," and in doing so, shouldn't accept it here.


I've been silent, for the most part, on the Michael Brown / Ferguson situation, because when it comes to my thoughts on the subject, I break ranks with the vast majority of what I have seen on DU.

That's my right.

That's DU's right.

And I'm not going to spell out how I feel about it all...suffiice it to say that the majority of DU looks at it one way and I look at it another.

The other day I posted Pharell Williams' thoughts on the subject...WITHOUT COMMENT...and some ****ing dirtwad stepped up and called me out over my "increasingly cringe-worthy" posts. Well, ya know, **** him, because he is now on my ignore list. Just go through the Kama Sutra page by page and **** this guy with what you see.

I have my opinions. Michael Brown is not my dashboard Jesus, and there is NO WAY IN HELL I can sign off on assholes on the streets of Ferguson burning down businesses that the owners have sacrificed EVERYTHING for. Blocking freeways and keeping innocent people from getting to and from work will NEVER get a high five from me. NEVER.

In short, there are people who are on board with the consensus on DU when it comes to certain issues, and people who are not.

When it comes to Michael Brown, with all due respect to the majority on DU, I am not with you.

And I am CONFIDENT that DU...being the HOME of progressive thought on the Web...will respect my desire to keep my opinions to myself and my mouth shut.

OR, the people who need to be "right" will have their say.

Either way, I'm not with you on this, folks. Respectfully so.

I don't know if he will be TS'd, since he's friends with MrDorkio. This is the same guy that uses his real name and was annoyed that somebody knew that was his real name.  :mental:

But there's a reason many refer to DU as "the hive".

Thanks for the reminder; I was trying to think why I recalled him and this is it.

2. Don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel

And then, when you're done ranting and pounding your chest and gnawing your keyboard... multiply that by about a thousand, and you might start getting a bare understanding of how people feel about not just Ferguson, but the entire structure of abuse and miscarriage of justice aimed at brown people in this country.

if you don't want to get it, that's fine, you have a right to remain ignorant. But if you want to belittle it, the rest of us have a right to chew you over because of it.

Stupidloo, let's take a little look at things. I would say I'll try to break it down so you can understand it, but I figure you're too stupid for any sort of real understanding. I guess I'd just as well say that I'll type slowly so you can understand. Anyway, let's give it a try...

Who is it that thinks anyone who kills an innocent black person should be held accountable? The answer is conservatives. Liberals are apparently perfectly fine with other blacks killing innocent blacks. I say that because the only time we ever hear liberal complaining about blacks getting killed is when the killer is white. Guess what racist, a person killed by someone with black skin is just exactly as dead as a person killed by someone with white skin.

Who is it that thinks blacks have the same capacity for intelligence as everyone else? The answer is conservatives. We want the entrance requirements for schools and colleges to be the same for everyone, but the liberals apparently think that blacks are too stupid to get into school without help.

Who is it that thinks blacks have the capacity to be civilized? The answer is conservatives. The liberals apparently think it is to be expected for black folks to run around rioting like a bunch of third-world savages.

Who is it that thinks blacks have the capacity to be successful? The answer is conservatives. The liberals think that blacks are so backward and sorry that they just MUST have some sort of affirmative action to get a job.

We could go on and on with the list, but the fact of the matter is that liberals are the racists of this country. Liberals are a cancer eating away at racial harmony.

Before you go spouting something about the inclusiveness of your little DU shed of shit, let me go ahead and call bullshit. DU is basically whiter than a bleached pair of underwear. Sure, there are a couple of blacks there so that DU can make the "I have black friends" claim, but that's about it.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

Does this Dummy realize that modern-day liberals are nothing like classical liberals?

They tolerate no dissent.  They tolerate no free speech.

For the overall black community I am seriously beginning to wonder if they do have the capacity. I mean look at any black run countrys in the world. They are all 3rd world shit holes.

Yeah, because they were all such advanced civilizations until the White Devils showed up and put an end to human sacrifice and cannibalism...
