Before that this one came..
"Hillary is too unattractive to ever be President. If we're going to have a female President, at the very least it needs to be a bit of eyecandy, otherwise what's the point. Hillary is hideous, both in looks and personality. Feel the Bern. "

I'm quite sure that they're all a titter in that cesspool that they inhabit from the way that they've been given way more credit than they deserve when folks here accuse them of sending that letter to Bravenak.
Just for the record, I already knew that they didn't write the letter. Because, it was written in English and not in Teabaggerese.
I guess that they're feeling unloved when folks like me aren't blaming them for shit that we're doing to ourselves.

(24,544 posts)here since DU3 existed. That is approximately FOURTEEN YEARS that this forum has existed in total, and almost four years on DU3.
I have been a part of AA since I have been a part of DU. I was a frequent participant in the old AAIG (African American Interest Group) on DU2. So I know who's been around and who hasn't. I know who's been regulars in this forum and who may not be regulars in this forum but are still active in AA discussions in other forums.
Where have these people been when we talked about police brutality before Black Lives Matter? When we talk about racism in housing, in health, in education? When we talk about racism in prison sentencing, in sport and in media?? Not ONE of these johnny come lately's trying to storm this forum have been in any way a part of this group nor have the VAST majority of them shown any interest in our issues when these topics come up in GD. Anyone that thinks this isn't all about their support for a candidate and NOTHING ELSE isn't paying attention.
These patronizing and laughably stupid attempts to "educate" and browbeat black folks illustrate that. We mumble more knowledgeably and coherently in our sleep than these people do in OPs that they've thought about for days. I am sick and tired of people thinking that they are smarter and know more than me, even about my OWN FUCKING HISTORY AND COMMUNITY, just because they are white and I'm black.

The one I blocked yesterday (not the troll - the long term member)
Not a single post from January 2014 onwards. Lots of posts for a certain candidate.
The 'fury' it created just with a few posts? Thread HAD to be locked and I had to block that person.

Note - I even asked questions along that line.
It's a free country - one can think what they will. But if you only give a good god damn when there is something in it for you -
Please . . . don't go away mad. Just go away.

(16,286 posts)the divisiveness created by Bernie supporters, the GOP is likely to take the WH and maintain control of the Senate and House.
Remember, the GOP candidate only has to get about 46%of the votes, the DNC candidate will lose about 4% of the vote through intimidation, voter obstruction, counting irregularities intentionally done, and computer fixing.
So while campaign "plant doubt" by the GOP is in full force here and elsewhere, using Bernie as the option when in doubt, we are losing sight on the fact that millions will not be allowed to vote on election day.
I am done arguing with alleged liberals about whether or not they will vote for Hillary if she is the nominee, because that is a misdirection and I fell for it hook, line and sinker.
The whole time the conversation is going on, the doubt is growing and growing.
Email story is zero, nothing, nada, but it will work.
Hold on, we are in for a bumpy and terrifying ride with people like Kim Davis running the country.
If you are Black or a Woman or Gay or a Muslim or Latino, America will become a living nightmare for you.

The anger was immediate and that's because these people think that they are new, but they aren't new to any of us. Most of us have dealt with people like this our entire lives. We know exactly what it means when someone -- who has never posted before in the AA group -- suddenly decides to post a Cornell West video when five minutes of reading in this forum would make it abundantly obvious that he is not supported in this forum. 10 minutes of reading would make it obvious he is not supported in the vast majority of predominantly black environments.

(16,286 posts)ugly this whole thing is.
Look, if you promote the email story as a story, you are not a liberal or a democrat.
Now go find all the Bernie supporters who did just that, and it is MY OPINION they are here for an entirely different agenda than Bernie supporters like myself.
I know that isnt directly related to this, but it is really.
The same folks attacking Hillary attack Obama.

(83,730 posts)I had to come back after reading in AfAm. You are under siege and it is vicious, increasingly so. I am not leaving you all alone. I'm going to try to tread carefully, I don't want more hides.
I'm back

(73,630 posts)I know that I haven't been here since day one. Mostly because I generally confined my political and social posting to GD for all to see, and because I didn't feel it proper to invade the groups, being safe havens.
But times have changed. Especially since black members are under attack for speaking out because black bodies are lying dead in the streets.
I now consider myself a member of group, folks here are my friends. I always have my friends' backs.
I have a feeling that some long termers have wondered what took me so long to join. Well it's because it's obvious that too many in GENPOP have turned their backs on black people.
I could go on, but I'm sure everyone has seen this.
