Is DU too fast for our Black Members?

[trumad]

"There are those who contend that it does not benefit African-Americans to get them into Democratic Underground, where they do not do well," trumad said, "as opposed to having them go to a less-advanced DU...say Discussionist ... a slower-track forum where they do well."

Thought edited for the grammar Nannies.

1. WTF?

Weird, dude. Seriously weird.

[annabanana]

2. ha!

Scalia is an ass.

How incredibly insulting...

[Agnosticsherbet]

3. Trumad and Scalia, siamese twins seperated at birth.

That is the only explanation.

11. Guess who did the surgery

If you said Ben Carson, you would be right.

[Agnosticsherbet]

23. Uhh, Ben somebody

[Kalidurga]

4. Well this explains so much about you.

I would say you should delete, but nah let the public see.

9. he's being sarcastic. read below

here are those who contend that it does not benefit African Americans to get them into the University of Texas, where they do not do well, as opposed to having them go to a less-advanced school, a slower-track school where they do well. One of the briefs pointed out that most of the black scientists in this country don't come from schools like the University of Texas. They come from lesser schools where they do not feel that they're being pushed ahead in classes that are too fast for them.

He went on to say, "I'm just not impressed by the fact the University of Texas may have fewer [blacks]. Maybe it ought to have fewer. I don't think it stands to reason that it's a good thing for the University of Texas to admit as many blacks as possible."

16. Yes I know and it's still a horrible post.

[cwydro]

30. I agree.

Par for the course for that poster however.

[trumad]

15. Really...what does it explain?

[Kalidurga]

17. It explains the quality of most of your posts.

[trumad]

19. I don't know...

I seem to be doing ok since 2001.

[Kalidurga]

22. See this is what I am talking about.

[trumad]

24. I don't have any idea what you are talking about?

I don't even know who the fuck you are.

[Journeyman]

5. And the obvious rejoinder to Scalia would be, "Yes, they'd like to be in a slower-track school . . .

but those are all filled with Italian kids."

How quickly people forget, once they've climbed to the top of the fence, that when they began they, too, were considered fit only to be a bottom rail.

8. You got alerted for this and prevailed by 5-2. I guess no one heard what Scalia said today?

[trumad]

20. Of course it was alerted on.

Alert idiots will be alert idiots.

[Rex]

10. Yeah that is more or less what he said too.

And yet some revere Scalia as a great judge. Racist POS should step down.

[KamaAina]

14. Context matters. Adding the HuffPo link helped a lot.

Some of us don't spend hours at a time on the www.

[Warren DeMontague]

18. do you mean "too fast"?

maybe I'm missing something, here.

[Tipperary]

32. I know. I had to snicker when I saw that.

[elias49]

unless they have a medical issue.
