That's it.

[MrScorpio]

It's time to write an extensive essay in GD detailing THE problem. If you've been taking notice of the themes behind my serious OPs recently, you can pretty anticipate what I'm going to say.

It's going to take some time to elaborate on all of the details… But, hopefully, it'll turn some heads.

I don't know if I'll finish it today, but once I've posted it, I'll post the link in this thread.

Wish me well.

[longship]

1. Well, one hopes we all wish you well.

I certainly do. I cannot remember a time on DU without your great posts.

R&

Anticipating your post. Will look for it.

6. sharpen up that pen.

[Fred Sanders]

7. I hope the comments are related to how the RW media are now insisting BLM is a "hate group".

First they came for the Muslims, and I did not speak out, and then they came for the Mexicans, and I did not speak out.....and you know the rest of the story.

[MrScorpio]

9. I can tie that in there

Thanks for the suggestion

[1StrongBlackMan]

22. You should have inserted the sarcasm thingy ...

however, if the absence was intentional, please know your post is unwelcome here.

(Please know ... As a group host, this is your one and only warning, as you are known to belittle the concerns of African-Americans and the discourse in this Group)

[L0oniX]

30. Sorry ...sarc added

[1StrongBlackMan]

36. Thank you. n/t

[Starry Messenger]

18. Teach!

[betsuni]

19. I just watched the 1931 movie Dracula and feel like warning you just as the villagers warned

the lawyer not to go to Castle Dracula: "No, you mustn't go there. We people of the mountains believe that Dracula and his wives turn into wolves and bats." The lawyer says, "Why, that's all superstition." A woman urges him to accept her crucifix to wear around his neck for protection: "If you must go, for your mother's sake" and then they all cry as his carriage goes off into the night to certain doom.

[ismnotwasm]

21. ..

[MrScorpio]

20. Update:

My plan is to post the essay in GD on the the 4th of September.

I have a special reason to use that date.

You'll see why once I do it.

Cheers.

[1StrongBlackMan]

23. Bonyce's Birthday? ...

[JustAnotherGen]

25. I'm going to agree

Central High School's integration.

[1StrongBlackMan]

[JustAnotherGen]

[ismnotwasm]

[1StrongBlackMan]

[JustAnotherGen]

37. Um - Only 4 but it got a hide

AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service

Mail Message



On Wed Sep 2, 2015, 11:46 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

Why is your handle racist?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=565790

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Since when is identifying as a black man racist?? This sounds like some freeperish bullshit accusation of "reverse racism".

JURY RESULTS

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Sep 2, 2015, 12:18 PM, and the Jury voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I'm in agreement. 1 Strong is a black man who is strong enough to withstand a nonsense post attacking him and accusing him of racism, however - the accusation is racist. Hide it.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Ugly comment.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: If the poster meant to be funny they missed the mark. Taking the post at face value, I have to vote to hide.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Post is certainly not an enlightened comment. In fact, it doesn't make sense at all. In my opinion we would be doing the poster a favor by hiding what is seemingly an unenlightened point of view.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

[1StrongBlackMan]

38. Did Juror #7 hit the wrong button? ...

And sadly, though not unsurprisingly, my faith has NOT been restored.

[JustAnotherGen]

39. I think so! Juror #7

Can you figure out which one I was?

[1StrongBlackMan]

40. Juror #7? ...

No ... I have a pretty good idea. I have a 1 in 4 shot!

[JustAnotherGen]

42. This right here . . .

Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I'm in agreement. 1 Strong is a black man who is strong enough to withstand a nonsense post attacking him and accusing him of racism, however - the accusation is racist. Hide it.

[1StrongBlackMan]

44. Yep ... That's the one! ...

I'm still trying to figure out why folks that have SAID they are not Democrats; demonstrate with your (near) every post, have no regard for Black people; and, IIRC, have on more than one occasion, indicated they are not eligible to vote in the US, would spend so much of their time on a message board purposed "to elect more Democrats and less republicans"?

[BainsBane]

41. No, that's a stock reason to leave.

I'm wearing a navy dress today. That was totally racist of me to notice the color, wasn't it?

[JustAnotherGen]

43. What the hell do you have against

Pink anyways? *hmph*

[uponit7771]

48. wow, thats crazy

[Number23]

52. SOOOOO sorry I missed all of this before. This subthread sums up the total devolution of DU better

than anything else I can think of.

Why is your handle racist?

Vs 1 strong human being?

Holy Mary Mother of God....

[JustAnotherGen]

53. I know . . . Right?

[randys1]

54. And I went to said posters profile, big surprises there, NOT

FUCK

[Starry Messenger]

55. I saw that post *after* I saw onpatrol's post that nailed it.

I thought she was joking. Nope.

[Glassunion]

24. Orval?

[JustAnotherGen]

60. Could it have been 1Strong's driving while black

1 year anniversary? When you look at the below sub thread . . .


How could I not kick that up?

[randys1]

26. I will look forward to it...

[Gothmog]

27. Good luck

[Scootaloo]

32. Look forward to reading it, Scorpio

[MrScorpio]

49. Well, it's done!

50. listening now! nt

[lovemydog]

56. It's getting a well-deserved outstanding reception.

Thanks for the thoughtful post, MrScorpio.

I've listened to your show & it blows my mind. When I lived in Detroit I used to listen to the Electrifying Mojo. I was an honorary member of the Midnight Funk Association. I'm glad for internet radio now because I can keep up the groove via your show.

[MrScorpio]

57. Mojo was one of my inspirations as well

I listened to him five nights a week.

Now I can do my own thing.

[MrScorpio]

58. In case you missed yesterday's show...
