CC is just as obsessed, and I was on a Jury that a member referred to a forum there. freshwest Jun 2015 #153
I went over to CC (only second time to do so) and saw this about 1SBM: betsuni Jul 2015 #172
I believe that there are CC trolls here. yardwork Jul 2015 #176

Wow, so in this group an outsider managed 5 hide votes from 5 well, i cant say what to call them randys1 Jun 2015 #28
If you were a group host - would you block? Yes or No? JustAnotherGen Jun 2015 #96
I would block someone who repeatedly calls an AfAm a racist, that is for GOD DAMN sure randys1 Jun 2015 #103
I wouldn't have voted to hide that post, but it does perpetuate the meme that Bernie isn't concerned leveymg Jun 2015 #31

So African American voters are "memes" now, got it...dont worry, i wont keep randys1 Jun 2015 #41
The message "Bernie doesn't care enough" is a meme. Some memes are so malignant leveymg Jun 2015 #45
Bullshit, there is no meme, there are BLACK people who are not sure about Bernie randys1 Jun 2015 #47
It's a racially divisive meme, which makes it particularly poisonous, leveymg Jun 2015 #55
So 1strongBM is a racist...got it. randys1 Jun 2015 #56
This is actually a very old racial wedge issue meme that goes back to the 1960s leveymg Jun 2015 #66
Called him a racist a 2nd time randys1 Jun 2015 #85
