(3,675 posts)the history of eugenics is interesting to me. Hitler got his eugenic ideas from the USA and progressives like Margaret Sanger, were for it but you have to keep that in the context of that time(to a point) as ugly as that is. anyway now i need to see if the author of this atlantic piece has books. I thought his reparation piece was really good. if only i could get off of DU and facebook to read. lol at any rate even though i find all this and your other posts interesting and NOT worthy of hiding (geesh) i have this feeling you are posting this because you think this piece gives background and might explain why you think white people of DU are so critical of Obama. anecdotally i know quite a few leftist none DU folks of all races who are highly critical of him as well so i don't believe it is only white folk, maybe on DU. i have lotsa of facebook friends who are leftist opinion writers for various periodicals and many discussions are had and people of all races join in with their criticisms..
anyway i wanted to let you know i enjoy your contributions even if i don't agree with you. your threads are always interesting! I really do believe all white folk have ingrained racism based on environment that always needs to be acknowledged and addressed whether we want to admit it or not, but criticism of a politician over policy is often just that, nothing nefarious!
anyway, keep on posting! i opted out of jury service for now while i am relatively new so i don't alert on threads OR put people on ignore but i doubt i would ever alert on you. i would disagree in a response perhaps but never alert!
on edit: let me add. the staunchist obama supporter facebook friends of mine are my gay friends, they are also major Hillary supporters, which i am not. lol
