I

find on this site, the truth cannot, will not be tolerated. If people like the smell of this POS Zimpig, and I call it out, it's offensive. Yet nothing these supporters of zimpig say is deemed to be offensive to people who just don't like murderers. Go figure. But then genteel amerikkkan sensibilities are not what they seem. I don't care if I'm alerted on. I don't like racist murderers. Period. Racist murder? That's offensive.

It's damned hard work talking to liberals about racism ... especially on liberal message boards.

They seem to not know that it's not okay to invalidate my life experience based on your contrived opinion and call that a discussion.

I don't post much, as I tend to obsess over tone. Putting together cogent arguments, leads to endless rewrites. With DU as it is currently, I often say "why bother". You guys do it much better.

I wish for them to pause for a moment to recognize/realize that their "experience" with racism is tangential, at best ... unless they were acting as the racist. Watching someone swim is not swimming yourself, even if you are standing in the pool next to the swimmer.

It's as if some feel that their experience trumps mine.
Part of this is that they MAY have experienced something similar, in their opinion. What they fail to realize is that the reason they experienced that indignity was likely due to something they could change or not do.

Bottom line, until they can acknowledge that they don't know wtf they're talking about, it's like pissing in the wind.

"They don't have to!" It takes an honest (albeit, small) effort to listen to someone elses experiences. For some, that effort is too much to work. They'd rather live with their delusion...

And the circle of privilege continues.

yeah that logical, rational and objective crap does not give them the moral high ground. Outrage and condemnation at and of a murderer is the right thing as far as I feel, jury verdict by zimPIGS peers be damned. I will never let this go or "calm down". geez

The only thing they have to hold onto is one of two things:

Call you a racist.

Bring up the Klan.


Excuse me - the biggest Klan there is - is the Republican Party. And I can't condemn them for their policies that have established the new Jim Crow at DU - then I will take the pizza delivery myself. I dare one of these Con trolls to try and get me the boot for writing that. . . At Democraric Underground.

And that's good. Because I have a damn fool bringing up the 'black panthers' and that will be his next thing . . .

Him: But, but, buuuuuuuuuut! The Republicans are better friends to 'The Blacks'.

Eh? Maybe that will take care of the troll once and for all. No way MIRT could let that stand at DU.

- Nudge. Nudge.

George PigVomit is a murderer.

Many black Americans emotions are raw as a result of the travesty of this joke of a trial.

I – like many others - are STILL offended by PigVomit’s supporters blowing hot air about their Gun Hero and how empowered they are to say it in coded white privilege ways.

^UP^ - Yet – the above statement in and of itself is offensive to ZimPigVomit supporters who can’t take a little heat and get something written to that effect . . . ‘hidden by jury’.

There is a swath of black Americans who feel Georgie is a walking, talking, piece of shit. The opposite of this – is some people who find him just well – delectable. Clearly - I’m not the only black person in America OR at DU who is offended by that Gun Hero Worship.

Hell – he basically got away with a Modern Day Lynching. There are people in ‘GENERAL IN AMERICA” who are throwing accolades at Georgie PigVomit – and folks at DU seem to think black Americans should not be offended by that? Go figure. Who’da thunk it?

And this is where discussion ends. Because all I have to see is anyone clapping, hooting, hollering, shooting off fireworks – or thinking they are being slick when they are just another - slithering on their belly little reptile like PigVomit Boy – and I just *know* the Damaging To America Racist that they are.

And for any Georgie PigVomit supporters who are reading this little corner of the web . . . I hope everything I wrote in this post to include dehumanizing Georgie PigVomit Boy to well – Pig Vomit – is offensive. Just as offensive as your adherence to and support of Covert and Coded and/or Overt racism in America.
