ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Ugly, false accusations against his fellow DUers.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Aug 11, 2015, 03:36 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No alerter, another ugly attempt to shut down an AA poster. You and your buddies should check yourselves.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I disagree with everything MrScorpio says in post; however, he has a right to say it. Alert Abuse.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Perfectly valid topic for the AA group. Leave it. Stay out of the group if you don't like the conversation.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don't see "DU isn't ready for Black Liberation" as a hideable statement, even if I side with Bernie in this dust up.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: lolwat? I'd say this alert more or less proves his accusation. On matters of being black in America, I think I'd rather let Mr Scorpio educate me. I am positive he has a better grasp on the situation than I do.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

I question how any white person could call themselves a leftist and not realize they have white privilege
