I was thinking of doing this myself but I didn't know if I should

Can't believe that hide! Shame on 4 on jury and alerter.

It's on OnDemand. Series is called Fault Line on Al Jazeera America

Du broke me tonight for hiding that. I am ready to walk away from here.

When you post a positive about the injustice of race on a Democratic board and get a hide then we no longer have a Democratic board do we Sid? The hour special was breathtakingly beautiful it was truthful and passionate and damn well heartbreaking.

Perhaps I will get another hide for what I state.

We all have the same goal we're striving for, though we may disagree on points. Your contribution is valuable and needed.

I'm sorry they did that. I was shocked

I sure as hell don't need this crap marym.

I have let much roll off my back here. I stay positive, yet this on top of someone last night wishing me to my grave. I lost two close family members in the past few weeks, their comment hurt me. This is DU? Really? This what DU is about?

I posted an Op about Ferguson. About Race and injustice in America. The hour long special was heartbreaking and on a Democratic board I got a hide, for saying Fuck you. Call the President a POS that stands. Calling out racism gets a hide.

What a horrible person. I hope they were given a time out at least. No excuse whatsoever.

I don't understand the hide you got on this. I see so many stupid alerts it's unreal. I really think there should be some kind of punishment for alerting on crap. And that's what the alert was.

I understand your frustration. I do have some issues with DU myself. It sure is not always fair. But right now, it's the best site I know of that at least keeps many of the RWNJs at bay.

I'm sorry for your loss. Losing anyone is so hard. Losing two people is more than anyone should have to go through.

Maybe take a break? But know that you are loved here.
