PeaceNikki, I'm glad you got to respond

[Kind of Blue]

to that crazy threat to the whole group.
That was the quickess lock I've ever seen. The desperation is THICK!

[Control-Z]

1. Link?

Please?

[Kind of Blue]

2. Here you go.

I'm sure you can gather from the title what else was said. Just Wow.

[Kind of Blue]

3. I see that it says Message AutoRemoved

We gave you a Black President. Now You Owe Us

[randys1]

11. That can be taken two ways...

It could be someone saying that and meaning it

OR

Someone making the point that this is what YOU are now being told by others...

[Kind of Blue]

19. I only got a quick glance at the whole thing but

luckily, ismnotwasm has posted it below. So I'm pretty sure the poster in no uncertain terms meant it.

[PeaceNikki]

4. I alerted the FUCK out of that.

I only responded to keep track. With the tone the way it is these days, I thought it possible a jury would have let it go.

Thankfully MIRT got that n00b quickly.

[Kind of Blue]

6. Ah, it was You!!!

Thank You!

[Number23]

15. MAJOR props to you PeaceNikki

Thank you so much for alerting on that post.

I'd like to say that I'm surprised or horrified by that post but considering that the sentiments expressed in that OP are becoming more and more common place on social media, I'm really not.

[PeaceNikki]

17. I am fairly convinced that troll is a long timer here.

[Quayblue]

25. I agree nt

[1StrongBlackMan]

30. I know ... PeaceNikki saved me from a hide ...

my response was for the poster to KMEntireBA ... and President Obama's, too.

But it was locked before I could hit send. Phew!

[Digital Puppy]

5. :: blink ::

Umm... Wow!

[Kind of Blue]

7. Some things never change, DP!

From threatening Bravnak to Stockholm Syndrome to outright threat that the whole group, I mean all of us AAs, are gonna get it.

It was a Bernie Supporter, again.

[Digital Puppy]

8. Of course my Subscription tab still shows the title and author

..which I am grateful for. Personally, I'd rather know who the racists/sexists/etc. are. Better you know up front rather than thinking they are working to help you when they are stabbing you in the back.

[Kind of Blue]

9. Hear! Hear! "Better you know up front rather than thinking

they are working to help you when they are stabbing you in the back

And it seems to me that too many are seeking that we answer to each personally, repeating over and over again the same thing, that I'm starting to think it's not about listening. The crazy poster's feeling sums up the bottom-line for them - you owe us based on everything we've done for you or else.

[randys1]

12. The "you owe us" sentiment is sewn all over this board today in GDP

[Digital Puppy]

13. Hmm...maybe people got their talking points for the day... n/t

[Kind of Blue]

23. Thanks for the warning.

[Starry Messenger]

10. Good god, what a title.

I didn't see it, just the SOP alert from PeaceNikki. Wtf is wrong with people.

[Kind of Blue]

20. Well, Starry Messenger, same old story. Starts with an E

and ends with a ment. Neh, it wasn't 8 years of Bush, the wars, the financial crisis, horrible Republican dummy rule, and the smartest, most capable Democratic candidate, the poster was doing us a favor.

I just didn't know I'd signed a contract to return the unasked for favor

[ismnotwasm]

14. This is what was said

I think it was a type of repeat troll we call 'SHART" in MIRT-- sexist, homophobic, anti-Semitic, racist troll.

Treta

We gave you a black President. Now you owe us.

It's no secret that Obama could never have been elected without the progressive white vote. It's also no secret that the BLM movement would never have gained any traction without progressive white support. And now, after everything white progressives have done to help black America, in a stunning betrayal they have chosen to back the candidate who waged a racist campaign against Obama in 2008. This is disgraceful and unacceptable. You owe it - to yourselves as well as to white progressives who have always helped you - to back the only true progressive in this race, Bernie Sanders. Anything less than that will be viewed as an insult and could seriously deteriorate race relations. It would not be advisable to take that route after we've come so far together.

[Number23]

16. That person and EVERYONE who thinks like him/her can kiss my ass and go straight to hell

And I mean that.

[ismnotwasm]

18. Oh hell yes

It's very disgusting

[Kind of Blue]

22. Sheesh, You and me both!

I don't know how posters like that thing they move me any closer to Sanders. It's a shame. Fear tactic is the LAST thing they should know by now doesn't work on us.

[Kind of Blue]

21. Thanks, Dear!

I forgot the "stunning betrayal" part. I guess poster told us how to make up for it and I'll be jumping on that right away.

[Quayblue]

24. this one at least had the fortitude to say it

The rest won't dare say it.

I gathered a while back that's what some folks were thinking, which is fucked up to say the least, because they act like all black folks wanted was a black president. Like that would cure racism and pay all these bills.

And I will also daresay is that they will dance and dance around this feeling and thought process, whilst trying to tell us we don't understand a certain message, rather than accepting that we don't agree with it.

It's very offensive how single minded folks think we are. But we are very well about to see how the rest of this year goes down.

[Coolest Ranger]

26. I always miss out on the good stuff

did he really threaten this group?

[Kind of Blue]

28. Oh, you didn't miss it.

Thanks to ismnotwasm, we've/I got a better understanding of the tone deafness.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

27. We've been voting for white presidents all our lives. And what?

[Kind of Blue]

29. And what? How dare you11@!!

Don't you know the "real" progressives were being beneficent after they "gave you a black President?" We owe them so much for their obvious continuous kindness "after we've come soooo far together."

We're just an ungrateful lot.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

31. Yep! LOL!!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

32. Nobody gave PBO anything. He earned what he got!

[Kind of Blue]

33. Unfortunately some of our fellow liberals

are still unaware of that and demand compensation
