I am not like a lot of people I have met on DU (but many I have met are exactly like me too); I am PASSIONATE, I am ANGRY when I see racism and outright white supremacy or if I see people deny the obvious, like how most opposition to Obama is based solely on race, and other obvious race related issues, I get ANGRY.
I know I am pretty well free to say this in the African American forum, gee, wonder what they know the rest of us don't.
I want to know if it is safe to say that Darren Wilson is a god damn fucking racist piece of shit murderer (voluntary manslaughter at a minimum, or hey, I have an idea, how about a trial TO FIND OUT) and the fact that the DOJ couldn't convict him of PLANNING THE MURDER when he woke up that day, changes nothing.
I want to know if I am free to say that the GOP has changed the rules since Obama became president, and behavior that used to be considered beyond the pale, completely unacceptable, especially in matters of FOREIGN POLICY and so on, is something I can say, safely.
I want to know if I can say racism is used every day, by white people, in America, against minorities, and that the SC is about to preserve the right for racists to discriminate regards housing as they recently did in matters of voting.
Now I can spot a fake liberal or democrat from miles away, most of us can and we either ignore them here or we try to enforce the rules as they apply to them, but what I cant stomach are these middle of the road namby pamby so and so's who want to find every god damn reason in the book to not go "all in", as they say in Texas Hold-Em.
Sorry if that bothers you, but in matters like race, climate change and economics, we are either ALL of us ALL IN or we are not.

(12,778 posts)is racially charged, but plenty of people have legitimate complaints about his policies and politics. To say otherwise is to give him a pass for his shortcomings.
President Obama has played hardball with Congress ever since the Republicans won the mid-terms so handily. Why couldn't he have shown the same backbone in his first six years in office?
