228. That wedge was not created by us. You need to read what is going on outside of this bubble

Sun Sep 20, 2015, 09:04 PM

Sep 2015

Black people all over the Internet have been discussing this for months and cataloguing the amount of attacks, haranguing and harassment they have endured.

This forum has been on DU for 14 years and we discuss EVERYTHING. How very fascinating that you have never seen fit to visit the forum in between your time outs for all of the personal attacks you have launched on black DUers.

We didn't start this. But it doesn't surprise me in the least that not only do you now know that, but you have chosen as usual to blame the black posters for this problem. Since you dislike us all so much and since I think I can confidently say that none of us have even the slightest intention of changing our belief systems or behavior to curry favor with the likes of you, I don't think any of us would mind in the least if you put every single last one of us on ignore. And please feel free to start with me. By ALL means.

And the propaganda against Sanders and his supporters continues [View all] Skwmom Sep 2015 OP

Actually I think this is a good sign. It shows how hard it is for them to attack Bernie on sabrina 1 Sep 2015 #1

"... the 1% who have spent so long setting this country up for their own interests." I believe GoneFishin Sep 2015 #5

It is but the internet can also be used to spread lies and distortion. n/t Skwmom Sep 2015 #9

Sure it can, but it can also be used, as it was this week, to decimate those lies. sabrina 1 Sep 2015 #34

One small example. It is still skewed to the smear mongers UNLESS people learn to question Skwmom Sep 2015 #43

Not everyone is aware of how smears are propagated by the media. Skwmom Sep 2015 #6

True, but a whole lot more people know today how they operate than sabrina 1 Sep 2015 #12

...1 KoKo Sep 2015 #27

So you think propaganda hasn't branched out to the new forms of media? It has Skwmom Sep 2015 #40

I think the argument here is about the same thing--that we have a new *arena* of political fighting MisterP Sep 2015 #52

Well, it's been pinkie-wetting so far, and the pinkie has to find the water. Hortensis Sep 2015 #2

Hillary is a nemesis only to the dumbass, Culture War right. Ron Green Sep 2015 #4

They're just getting warmed up, but like comics that bomb .... Babel_17 Sep 2015 #7

Indeed it was. The right and the far left coming together to attack BLM. DanTex Sep 2015 #19

I'm to tell the Black Americans who spoke out against what transpired Skwmom Sep 2015 #21

Hey, if you want to keep lecturing Black Americans, knock yourself out. DanTex Sep 2015 #22

Like when Clinton lectured and pointed her finger at BLM? Skwmom Sep 2015 #32

Seeing that Bernie met with the leaders of BLM earlier this week Pope Sweet Jesus Sep 2015 #48
