31. I thought that bronxboy was AA and gay?
Obviously I didn't read the thread closely enough.

I got in trouble responding to another thread that was started in opposition to bronxboy's. I felt that bronxboy had a right to his opinion, so I told the straight white guy who started the oppo thread that he was an idiot. That wasn't nice (as he reminded me in another thread) and I apologized but I really do think it's idiotic not to let African Americans talk about the experience of being African American. I mean, I'm Anglo so what the fuck do I know about being African American? Sit down and let bronxboy speak, I figured.

That's it as far as I know. That is the sum total of why I am now called a racist by a couple of posters all over DU.

i should know, i'm the one you're referring to. perhaps you could quote what i actually said.

as i said many times in many places, i thought the worst things said were actually in replies rather than OP's.

21. Just search using her username and the word gay
Edited on Tue Nov-11-08 07:39 PM by Jamastiene
Don't add the word "racist" to the search, because it is not necessary. She says racist in every single post even if the subject is cooking or knitting or sewing or the price of tea in China. You can exclude that search term. If she's posting, she's saying racist like a broken record whether it applies or not.

46. This whole episode is something else...
I think she believes she's on some kind of a righteous mission. Meanwhile, she has no idea the damage she has done. I am really offended by it. I don't know how to confront it. I tried to head her off in yardwork's thread - I know she won't be stopped with argument. I thought maybe she'd be shamed into looking at herself if I took the Gandhi approach. I was not insincere - I think we all could benefit from a little self-reflection and reassessment. But why are some insistent on building this thing up? A molehill of misunderstanding has been turned into a mountain, and we end up buried under it. Honestly, I don't take these broad-brush accusations of racism lightly. I've tried in the best faith to foster understanding and diffuse tension. I don't understand why I'm to be beaten over the head for not being someone's politically correct fantasy. Supposedly she's pulled off some kind of coup through her research on polls and the Catholic church, and whatnot. But I can't even look at her data, considering the context she's presenting it in.

47. As I said elsewhere, I really think that some are using this controversy
as a way to doll up their homophobia with some high-minded window dressing.

In other words, they get to say all the bigoted things they have been holding in and pretend it is in the service of a higher cause.

53. Yep. And you know what?...
Fuck the polls. It was never about the polls. And it was never about blaming anyone, much less DUers. But it sure got constructed that way in a hurry.

Look, I understand. I have listened and talked to some AA DUers who were disturbed at the tone of some things. Some have been quite sincere, and we should broaden our perspective to include their concerns, and be conciliatory. That is the way to build trust, to build consensus, and become better people. But some I believe are self-righteous flame fanners that don't give two shits.

57. I never could understand
the desire to suppress information and discussion.

It looks like it didn't work. I don't think some expected such a strong gay presences and such determination. P8 brought a lot of us right out of our comfort zone. I know we discussed this the other night. But P8 was "a bridge too far."

I have to say there were some excellent threads out there, among them yardwork's posts, which were outstanding, smart and one in particular on hate crimes, very sad and touching.

I think this GLBT forum is really a God send, for me.

51. I recognized and appreciated what you did in my thread, and she did stop.
Maybe you got through to her, because she stopped and I haven't seen her around today.

It's ironic that she's now pushing the idea - supported by her "data" - that this is all the fault of the Catholic Church. While she's defending one group from blame, she's blaming another. She seems incapable of looking at the situation and recognizing that this was a hateful proposition funded by numerous different groups, who used their money and influence to coerce and encourage votes among many different voters. She shuts down every conversation by screeching "racist" while simultaneously insisting that this is all the fault of Catholics, seemingly oblivious to the contradiction.

And I haven't heard one word of human sympathy from her, not one.

It's all a bit of a conundrum to me. While the poster has run hot and cold in my book, I hadn't noticed any negative pattern, and in fact really applauded her on a couple occasions. Now I really wonder. I'll go with seriously deluded pending further evidence.

55. There's already someone trying to shit on the thread.
His usual routine with gay threads: claim to be an ally but we are just so darn mean we might lose him.

58. That's a standard trolling strategy in gay-related discussions.
"I like you people and I wish I could support you, but you are losing me because
[insert standard 'phobe talking point here}.

66. But he said, "I'm an ally!"
And I immediately thought of:

The check is in the mail.

I gave at the office.

I won't cum in your mouth.

77. "They didn't vote that way out of bigotry" followed by "Your poll is flawed anyway!"
Not exact quotes - but someone who can't decide which rationalization they want to use.

70. Yep, so predictable, particularly when the same ones do it all the time.
And have you noticed that small group of posters who are invisible here until there is a gay-related discussion, at which point they pop up and play the "contrarian"?

86. You took and reframed it
very nicely. We got off the numbers and back to the poltics of it.

People know the answer, that's merely stubborn resistance, they know better.

89. I am so pleased this is still open
The "racism" construct is nothing but a pretty wrapper to try to get around DU rules and post "concerned" homophobic garbage.

I've been called a racist since I supported HRC in the Primaries, and I'm sick of it.

A minority taking away another minority's rights is repulsive, and something we need to discuss and change. Methinks many of the "racism" cries are not only masked phobic comments, but also are people who DON'T want to change anyone's minds. DU is very good about not allowing racism, and they know this will get posts and OPs deleted and locked.

There's a small cadre of such posters.

100. I agree - we have those types as well. Maybe it's surprising that there aren't more.
Over the past week the half-dozen or so have been whittled down to maybe two die-hards. Leaving out the trolls and idiots who post homphobic crap as their first post in years, the really disruptive screechers are few.
