Shakeydave asks people for New College info & gets called a racist!

[JanMichael]

:wtf:

New College is a highly rated Liberal college in Sarasota...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=407386&mesg_id=407386

Is I in upsidedown world tonights?

[XanaDUer]

1. Huh?

eom.

[JanMichael]

2. Did you see the link?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=407386&mesg_id=407761&page=

Nice eh?

[XanaDUer]

3. Yeah, I found it and read it

but, even if Sarasota is racist (part of FL I don't know well) how the hell does that make SD a racist?

[JanMichael]

5. You tell me!

I've re-read the thread and am puzzled at the negativity shown toward a guy that was simply asked for opinions about a university.

Go figure:shrug:

[XanaDUer]

7. I think one problem we seem to be having here

is people NOT really reading others' posts, just skimming them, so sometimes we think they are saying something they are not.

[Shakeydave]

8. I think LC hit it!

Also, I usually would have ignored that stuff, but it became apparent that I had been hijacked! You know my aversion to GD flames!

[ixion]

4. strange, cause there was nothing racist in sd's statement...

that poster lives up to his/her name... lala land...

[Don_G]

6. Very Strange

All he wanted was information about a particular college.

[Alenne]

9. She felt like she was being called a racist flame baiter

so she called him a racist.

[JanMichael]

10. Her first post to a thread about a University was this:

2. Sarasota is a very racist place...

Baiting? Totally OT? Certainly not constructive? Should perhaps expect a reaction?

[Alenne]

11. He reacted and she reacted.

When you call names people usually call you names back. I don't feel her answer was serious enough to call her a racist flame baiter but I also don't feel his answer was serious enough to call him a racist. When I first read the thread it all seemed a little silly.

[JanMichael]

12. I don't think so. Here's the exchange, post by post.

Anybody Here Graduate From New College in Sarasota, FL?
Need first person reviews ASAP! Liberal Nephew is being dissuaded from attending for biased reasons in my opinion. I need ammo!

10. You're right BUT the instituitional racism in Sarasota is among the worst I've witnessed in this country. I'm sure that doesn't matter or make any difference to you though. Carry on.

OK? See the evolution there? She basically says he doesn't give a shit about racism and he reponds...

19. Actually, the black families I knew who moved to Sarasota
Edited on Thu Sep-25-03 10:57 PM by LalahLand
were forced to move because although they were very successful in other states like New York, apparently, blacks were not allowed to hold those types of positions in Sarasota. So yes, the racism in Sarasota can be overcome by MOVING. Thats all I have to say, good luck to your nephew GOODBYE!

By the way, I am not a racist flame baiter as you say, I take great offense at your irresponsible statement. You seem more like the racist.

"racist flame baiter"?! He says that AFTER getting smeared.

Here's his post #15

15. WTF? WTF? WTF?
This thread is asking for opinions on NEW F'ING COLLEGE! Did all of you freakin' racist flame baiters just get out of the "G" damned meeting or what? Stay off my damn wave!

Once again:wtf:

She may have edited to ad the "BTW" but just look at the post by post play by play...

[Alenne]

13. The discussion could have been handled better

She stated her opinion. He didn't seem to care. She said I guess it doesn't matter to you. He called her a racist flame baiter. She called him a racist.

[Shakeydave]

14. Look at the "flame baiter" post again!

It went out to my original post. I've already PM'd her to apologize if she mistook my post. It was never intended as a personal attack. :hi:

[DemBones DemBones]

16. I started to reply to her and point out that a college is separate

from the city where it's located and often diverges widely from the local community. I think I'm glad I didn't as I was already called an "asshole"
today -- and then another DUer sympathized with the person who insulted me because she is supposedly having trouble coping with DU. Excuse
me? That gives her the right to flame me?

:WTF:

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

15. The poster in question...

And I don't mean Dave, has been on quite a tear this evening. I smell instigator, a very clever one.

[Misinformed01]

17. A "clever" instigator?

This person is a twit.

Granted, not your average twit; but, rather an petty, pansy assed twit.

There is nothing sadder than a pansy assed twit.

[trumad]

18. A twit exactly...

and besides everybody know's that Sarasota is the masturbation capital of the world thanks to Pee Wee. ;-)
