Wow, I just saw something on TV ...

[1StrongBlackMan]

that would never happen on DU.

On the MHP Show a white guy (Journalist) was listing all the possibilities of sanctions the US could oppose, singularly or in conjunction with the UE. He ended with his opinion that the final, and most damaging, option would be a trade war.

Then the Black Woman (PhDed, College Professor of Economic and International Relations, Dissertation and continuing research on Russia) spoke up indicating that President Obama and his team are doing the exact right thing and that there would not be a trade war.

Okay pretty normal right? Well, then the white guy (journalist) immediately back the F@#% down, retracting his "best, and most damaging" statement.

Then when he attempted to slip the trade war argument in, again ... and he was, again, corrected with a "gentle" who would Russia go to war against?" question ... he again backed off.

That would never happen on DU!

1. No. On DU the PhD would be parodied with a "funny" poll.

2. exactly

[Squinch]

3. And then the usual suspect would trot out some thread that was amazingly misogynist,

probably especially insulting or exploitive about some celebrity woman of color.

It would be alerted.

It would stand 3-3.

Then the other usual suspect would post his daily passive aggressive thread in which he implies that the concerns of those who object to these developments are insignificant, and should wait until all the other problems of the world are solved.

Then a day later, the passive aggressive poster would post another thread backtracking on his original thread, channeling Chris Christie during those times when Chris Christie is channeling Eddie Haskell.

4. transparent

isn't it.

Playing the victim, while trying to degrade and humiliate is really a republican trait.

[freshwest]

10. And there it is. n/t

[JustAnotherGen]

6. Back at ya!

8. the latest from that one is the black pres was just too lazy and didn't work for it

like LBJ did . total dog whistle post just like the one mocking those offended by racist watermelon and fried chicken jokes.

[Squinch]

9. They seem to be becoming very unattractively self-revealing, don't they?

[MrScorpio]

7. The real world doesn't exist on DU sometimes

I guess that's why I keep coming back.
