I notice today that there are a couple race-based threads

[cliffordu]

concerning Obama being "The Ladies Man" - a film in one thread and an Eddie Murphy like character in another.


I just want to know - Do you think he is nothing more than an entertainer???

Are you really Democrats??

Is this because he is humiliating Hillary in every poll out there - except the "distrust" poll??

Is it because you have nothing left but innuendo??

That's what I'm thinking

Anyone who thinks Obama is not electable due to race is invited to suffer for the next 8 years.

I will do everything in my power to get him elected twice.

Thanks for helping me with my resolve, you sorry clowns.


:patriot:

1. Latent and not-so-subtle racism is all they have left....

"Don't vote for him coz he's black."

That's what they've been reduced to.

[cliffordu]

2. It must be exquisitely painful to see your candidate implode like

Mrs. Clinton did. Do you think she'll be able to retain her congressional seat??

[TK421]

37. Whoa!

"Don't vote for him coz he's black." What thread was this comment posted in? because THAT shit is over the line

[LowerManhattanite]

3. They'll deny it...

But it's a typical play on the old trope of the jive-talkin' Negro hipster who can slick his way out of any pickle. The folks going to that meme tell on themselves. It's a desperate “Hail Mary” heave. Just one step away from depicting him as a slick pimp—as some have here in a couple of vile photoshops.

I'd love to say I'm surprised.

But I'm not.

The old joke goes, “A (n-word) is just another term for a Black man who's just left the room.”

Folks ain't even waitin' for people to leave the room any more in these parts. Oh well.

4. Republicans don't have a monopoly on white privilege

[sniffa]

5. I haven't seen those

:D

[azmouse]

6. I make good use of the 'ignore' feature so I haven't seen those threads.

Ignore is one of the nicest features on DU right now.

[cliffordu]

7. I know, but those threads I mentioned are like slo-mo train wrecks

of the Hillary booster slime machine coming apart. I cannot help myself.

It's like a pornography of desperation...I cannot look away....


:rofl:

[azmouse]

8. Their pain will be over in a few weeks... maybe sooner.

Then we can get on with the business of defeating McSame.

Gobama!!

[LowerManhattanite]

9. I was cleaning out my ignore list...

(Thankfully five of them are breakin' teeth on granite pizzas) And I screwed up and took one particularly illiterate one off ignore, which enabled me to see the idiotic “Ladies Man” post.

Right back on ignore. Aside from the viciousness of the post, I think the person's suffered a head injury that impairs sentence construction to boot.

[azmouse]

11. Ugh.... sorry that happened.

I don't know how anyone can read all the dreck that gets posted. I don't have the stomach for it.

Occasionally I see posts that don't make a lot of sense to me because they reference threads that I have on ignore but I can live with that. It's better not to see some of the garbage.

[Mags]

10. maybe it is because the people on DU are humiliating Hillary. Go ahead

trash her some more.

[cliffordu]

14. Don't have to trash her - she does that all by herself.

Plenty of time for her to fuck up before the Pennsylvania primary

[Mooney]

17. It's impossible to humiliate Hillary Clinton.

[BlooInBloo]

12. Um, that's not proper white unity talk. Maybe you missed the memo.

[crankychatter]

13. to quote Eddie Murphy "That's a in-yo-end-oh"

yup... that is it

two pronged attack

One - preying on the fears and prejudices of mature AA's
"smooth-talking, light skinned, arrogant, elitist, bourgeois"

Two - preying up the same fears and prejudices of White people with the
additional fears regarding Black Militancy/Crime and age old
stereotypes of hyper-sexuality and perceived danger to "white women"

100% - that is ALL they have and it's not particularly subtle
"next he'll be putting out an ad that says he DOESN'T steal cars"
Bill Clinton

[LowerManhattanite]

15. Well thankfully, the head-injured author's post just got Master-locked

...for idiocy and racism.

[LowerManhattanite]

19. And then, it was UN-locked.

Go figure.

[guruoo]

32. WTF? They say it's been "unlocked"?

That post is so blaitent, I have to wonder if it was
done to intentionally bait Obama supporters.

[SoxFan]

38. This has happened before

There have been some incredibly vile threads about Obama that have been allowed to stay open for ong periods of time. A month or two ago, there was one thread spouting the "radical Muslim" line, complete with a link to a RW site, that was unlocked by one of the mods.

Perhaps we should be allowed to see which mod is unlocking this racist crap.

[guruoo]

43. I didn't realize that

one mod can overrule another like this. Is that what happened here?

[cui bono]

44. Oh god... HER again???? She posted an out and out LIE about Obama admitting

he swiftboated Hillary and had a mean and hateful CAPS response to almost everyone in that thread then actually had the nerve to post a thread about how hse hates hate. Please... the only hate she mentioned of course was hate towards women, if you get my drift.

That poster is a complete loon! I can't believe she's not TS'd.

[ampad]

16. I haven't seen those threads

I guess I got most of the bigots on ignore, thank god. I'm sorry you had to witness such swill. :hug: It is just a constant reminder that Hillary is losing big time and if this keeps up she might be out of a Senate seat. I wouldn't worry about them though. When Obama wins the nomination their bigotry will become too powerful for them to hide and they will eventually seek refuge on the dark side where they belong. I think having Obama in this race is good in many ways one being that his very presence is bringing out the true face of some of those that call themselves progressives. Thank god Obama is bringing in new fresh voters to compensate for the bigots.

[cliffordu]

18. Thanks for your concern

for my traumatic experience. :toast:


And yep - Obama IS bringing lots of new people into the process, to the disdain of bigots everywhere, even on these boards!!

[libnnc]

20. One of those threads has been unlocked

Unfreaking real.

[Bonobo]

22. Which was unlocked?

[K Gardner]

24. The racist/sexual smear/nasty "Ladies Man" thread.

[Bonobo]

27. That is a disgusting thread. Any Hillary supporter that doesn't condemn that, well...

I cannot forget seeing that kind of ugly racism flung around.

I can make lists, copy things, send them around.

It would be a shame.

[guruoo]

33. I condemn it. It's nothing but ignorant racist flamebait

How the hell did it get unlocked?

[Bonobo]

42. Well I thank you. I don't think I have been this shocked and pissed in a while here.

[Bonobo]

21. I think these should all be alerted.

It is too far.

[K Gardner]

23. Evidently DU is competing to be the new Free Republic.

[kwenu]

25. I've seen racist statements here that even my Repub associates wouldn't touch.

It's really disheartening.

[stillcool]

26. It is ugly..but it's been here..

all along. I believe that there are some really ignorant, arrogant, and self-righteous white folk that can't see past their bitterness.

[K Gardner]

29. Yes, and that's why its SUPPOSED to be a moderated forum.

[ShortnFiery]

31. Re: Former friends = "HRC is the most self-righteous person they've ever known."

Yeah, that's what we need another *self-righteous* President. :sarcasm:

[Catherine Vincent]

28. Alert or ignore.

There's plenty of freepish threads from Obama supporters.

[apocalypsehow]

35. Link us one.

You said: "There's plenty of freepish threads from Obama supporters"

Sez you. I'd like to see a link.























(wait for it, wait for it: "just look around...")

[ShortnFiery]

30. It's the "Ed Rendel whisper campaign" Shhh! Some whites vote openly racist ... oh did he say that?

Yes old Eddie does not get called on his, er ... misstatement? :shrug:

[apocalypsehow]

34. There has always been an ugly racial component to the HRC boosters attacks on Obama

Remember the "he's arrogant" meme? That was just HRC-booster code for "he' uppity." Remember Bill Clinton in South Carolina? Hell, there's a poster who specializes in running around GD: P finding clever ways to put the word "spade" into his posts - and when called on it tries to pretend he's channeling the ancient Greeks.

It really hasn't been that hard to spot the racial code words and phrases the HRC boosters indulge in on a daily basis.

[Hepburn]

36. I must have that asshole on IGNORE...not seeing the thread about this.

Please post something when the ganite pizza gets delivered! TIA :hi:

[LaurenG]

40. One could only pray to the DU Gods that pizza time is soon.

x(

[LaurenG]

39. I wouldn't mind never seeing that disgusting bs again

Nothing good ever comes out of what it writes. I don't feel disgust often but that one is really wrong.

[The River]

41. That Thread Is Shamefull

It should be locked and/or deleted.
The OP is either a paid GOP plant or just needs lots
of professional help.

[Raine]

45. Disgusting and Despicable

to see that kind of shit on a progressive website like DU! :nuke:
