In reply to the discussion: Dear White America: Its time to get the message [View all]cui bono
(19,926 posts)So why would anyone take away that it's about only DU, or even more surprising, themselves?
Take all of the US, all the teabaggers included, and surely you can see that there's so much hate and racism here. One of two political parties is racist, homophobic and sexist. One of two. Why can't this message be addressed to the whole nation?
For anyone to react to this as if they themselves are under attack speaks to them, not to the message of the OP. I took no offense at all and I'm white.
So how do you change that? Those offended by this should look within themselves and figure out why they are so taken aback by this. They should think about how privileged they are and remember that we are one big community and that here on DU we are supposed to be the ones fighting for equality for all.
