(296,780 posts)6. Yeah, I know what you mean lamp_shade.. I put him on long ago when all he did was
post stupid stuff about President Obama.
And, then I would hear tales of him getting worse with all this Stockholm Syndrome racist crap.. hoisted on his petard he did.

I had the misfortune to read that thread last night. I asked him why he was doubling down on this when it seemed he embarrassed himself the first time around.

(55,142 posts)5. His racist OP's will not be missed.
From EarlG (Administrator).
Doubled down on his infamous suggestion that black Democrats have Stockholm Syndrome, by posting an article which included the same suggestion (along with comments calling black Democrats "battered wives" . The title of his OP was "Thank God I'm Not The Only One" and he bolded the Stockholm Syndrome comments to make sure everyone knew exactly what he was talking about. The first time he did this it was repeatedly explained to him by many members of this community that his comments were at best highly insensitive and at worst blatantly racist. Rather than learning from that experience he chose to double down.

(296,780 posts)7. I'm the opposite of somber.
It's always good to see somebody held accountable for what they've been doing over and over again even though they know how insultingly racist it is.
They're watching.
....and blaming us...
