2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: The Racist Meme: The South Doesn't Count [View all]Number23
(24,544 posts)Was it the hollering over how horrible bravenak is from folks that have seen just as many -- if not MANY more -- time outs, hidden posts and Flagged for Reviews as she has?
Was it the unbelievable hypocrisy of Manny and WillyT's biggest fans now screaming to the hills over racism?
Was it the inevitable appearance of the Black Friend? Quiet as a fart in church when these folks talk about how black people are "low information voters" and insult our community but the SECOND any black poster talks about the WELL DISCUSSED and OPENLY ACKNOWLEDGED harassment of black posters here, suddenly there they frothing furiously and accusing us of "paranoia?" I guess Skinner is paranoid too because even he has acknowledged that there is a problem with how black posters are treated here and has said that the admins are working on doing something to address it.
At one point, in the middle of this thread, I actually expected to somehow see pitchforks and torches! The numbers weren't there but the volume of posts from bravenak's fan base of 12-15 members sure tried to compensate for the dearth of participants. I dunno. Maybe a 6 out of 10 on the entertainment scale?
