In reply to the discussion: For the umpteenth time: Calling out racism is NOT racist or divisive [View all]AverageJoe90
(10,745 posts)While I wouldn't be particularly inclined to agree with the locking of such a thread, it may very well depend on exactly who posted it; there have, unfortunately, been some real major problems on this site with a certain few malcontents, using the race issue to actually be divisive on this site, including the use of personal attacks, not just against certain users, but against entire groups, or even white folks as a whole.....even if often sugarcoated.
So, with that in mind, I trust the hosts to know what they're doing. Honestly, I'd bet the problem wasn't so much the article itself(after all, nobody likes Rushbo on here!), but perhaps some of the comments. And I've seen some pretty nasty stuff from time to time.
I really don't know what else to say. But I can say that there probably isn't a racist conspiracy afoot on DU or anything, despite what a certain few might have us believe.....
