I have a favor to ask. Please do not kick the thread currently on page one of DU GD about the film Twelve Years A Slave.
Please...let it die a quiet death. It is embarrassing enough that a jury allowed it to stand. Put it out of its misery.
I will not link to it; it's easy enough to find. If you'd like to add anything to the topic, do it here.

Jesus and Moses are walking along the beach when Moses says, "You know what? I'm going to try and part the ocean again." He throws his hands in the air and, magically, the ocean parts.
Jesus sees this and says, I still have my shit together too.. "I'm going to show you I can walk on water again." He walks up to the water, takes a few steps in and sinks.
Moses says, "Try it again, Jesus. It's been a while." Jesus tries again, walks about 40 feet and once more, fails to walk on water.
Jesus comes out of the water and says, "I don't know what the problem is. This is freaking me out."
Moses says,
"Well, last time you did it, you didn't have holes in your feet."

(54,770 posts)I agree the OP is not worthy of DU, but the responses are.
We tend to alert/hide far too many posts that should stand so all can see how callous/ignorant some folks are, especially when the replies disagree.
Personally, I find the founding fathers were hypocrites for talking liberty and stuff, while owning slaves.

(53,339 posts)The post was alerted and juried and allowed to stand. The jury results are posted in the thread. But thanks for alerting.

(17,146 posts)but not for this thread. The thread I used it for was very upsetting to me personally, although I realized that others might want to see it. This thread just reflects badly on the site as a whole IMHO.

(9,753 posts)You do realize that all you're doing is making people look at a thread they might otherwise just ignore?

(66,467 posts)"They treated they slaves like fambly!" - some fuckwit Confederate apologist with only two brain cells to rub together might say.
They never explain what kind of family turns attack dogs and fire hoses on 'family members' who don't want to be in the family anymore. Or who lynches 'family members' who wish to assert their own rights as human beings.
Anyone comes to me with that 'loving, kind, slavemaster' sewage, I'm going to start looking for a window to throw them out of...
