I happen to agree with all five posts that got hidden.

There's some seriously racist bullshit going on with that Catherina poster, on that twitter post. Some posters keep supporting her even though they appear to know about it. I have no idea what they're thinking, nor can I even speculate on it accurately. I don't know what the hell else to say here about it without getting this post hidden. I hope our buddy is back soon. I hope you & everyone can keep saying what they feel without getting hides.

and her (rapidly shrinking number of) "supporters."

That thread was hands down the most epic thing I've seen this year. Started out as yet another "honor" thread (I swear the Honor dude must think he's Elton John or something. Did somebody appoint him to be the official "Honorer" of people?? I hope the next Honor thread he does turns out just like this one. It was one HELL of a read) and wound up being pwned by Troll Busters Inc.

And it's so funny how many different reasons people had for hating the sick, sad individual. The ridiculously over the top anti-Obama sentiment, the frequent fellating of Vladimir Putin, how s/he has come and gone as at least 3-4 different posters over the years -- every last one of them caught up in some epic bullshit drama. And just being an overall nasty, repulsive excuse for an individual.

Side note: (did you see that shit about her pretending to be her own sister??!!! That's some shit right there).

But because she spewed the correct amount of hate and "leftist" bullshit at the appropriate people, so many were so willing to overlook her really blatant, beond obvious and psychotic trolling and pat her head with how "valuable" she was here. But I guess her friends here had to swallow alot of crap so that they could say that they had one genuine, actual black person on their team. Sad. So very, very sad.

I cannot believe the hoops people are willing to jump through to convince themselves that this person is some type of my victim. You did see the thread this moring, I take it. Ahhh! Our Dear Brother Ivan came to tell us that Death Threat Guy has found her and threatened her after she posted the link to her twitter for us to see. Right before her diatribe she posted there on twitter. My oh my. After I trashed gdp, another came up in gd. Had they not locked that I would have been forced to trash gd as well. Cannot take the discussion of that person.

I once was attacked by this lady on here about someone calling her a self hating something or other. I wonder what she thinks about this here, since she was sooooo offended for her.

The pretending to be her sister was a revelation as I had known nothing about this person ever nor had I had any interaction with her. Imagine my surprise when I was called out as being her reason for leaving. Then the twitter. Too much focus on me by an absolute stranger for my taste. I barely knew she existed.

house niggers!

The same qualities for which we are reviled and tried to made to feel ashamed for, she is being LAUDED for by a clueless little clique. Because according to that "Catherina is a beautiful black woman" OP, it's all part of some grand Negro tradition to call black people house nigger. EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE FAR MORE MONEY THAN THEY DO.

I've never seen people so full of it. It's okay to be rich as hell and live in another country and have just found out you were black a few years ago as long as you hate all the appropriate people (which apparently includes every single Democrat that exists) and all the appropriate causes (including BLM). But if you are black and have always known you were black and hold views that are ENTIRELY consistent with large majorities of black people, somehow that makes you the house nigger.

DU Bizarro World is a fucking TRIP.

... he captured my attention - and apparently I was not alone.

He is incredibly well-spoken, and expresses his thoughts with strength, style, and a sense of purpose.

Back in DU's better days (when this actually WAS a site for Democrats), he would have been lauded for his insight and ability to initiate meaningful discussion. As things now stand, he is just another poster who needs to be sent to the proverbial corner in order to atone for the "error of his ways" - i.e. speaking up, speaking out, and speaking the truth.

What DU has devolved into is truly tragic. What was once a site that would have embraced a poster of ChiTownKev's caliber is now just a place where only group-think is tolerated - and anyone failing to fall into lockstep is "alerted" on until they are exiled to TimeOutLand.

I hope ChiTownKev will return - but if chooses not to, I can't say I disagree with that decision, or his reasons for leaving this cesspit behind.

It is just a shame that there are so many, "not nice to Blacks" posts here on DU and then when people get called on it, they alert stalk.

being a plantation mistress, I read recently that contrary to popular belief, both of us were the ones most overcome with that disease massah dreaded so much, drapetomania, and had more opportunities to run away. No way would that old Stockholm Syndrome overcome us house negroes

Like the British House of Commons. They're hilarious to watch. They say stuff like 'It's natural that the right honorable gentleman from Surrey is concerned about sewage given that our colleagues from the other side of the aisle are literally wading in it.'

For example instead of saying 'You fuckers...' say 'Some of our esteemed colleagues...'

One of the realest songs out there but I hold him up there with Pac, Nas, & Jay Z & Jeezy is workin on it. Jeezy brought it with My President is black, but he even says in the song they aren't his words. I play that one for my boys when shit starts getting really crazy. It's a hype song.
They're slips are showing something serious.

bravenak - why is it that relative to YOU - that this old geezer (me) had to post a Q-Tip song while you are sitting up there posting Elton John? And another thing - do not! I repeat - DO NOT raid Barry Manilow's closet for your husband to wear!





you're lookin at a man with the heart of a lion
got my eyes on the prize
i'm a get it or die tryin
comin from the bottom you can't take me no lower
got the talent, the passion and im destined to take it over
who am i? im not the one to be disrespected
who am i? im changin the game, teachin a lesson
but the nay sayers try to blur my vision
im so focused makin moves with grace and precision
ima do it for me and everybody in the struggle
all my ancestors that died in the past to give me muscles
im a man
no matter if you got the upper hand
im a man with gods gift to get it the best


im a man
im a m-a-n
(you aint dealin with no boy, im a grown ass man)
im a big fish in a small pond,
left the country for the city to get it done
they underestimate me try to treat me like a boy
but i flipped it around now im the one they cant ignore
i know what im worth and i want every cent
try to short me again and ima click in this bitch just to get me whats mine
nothing more nothing less
and ima give you my all
nothing less than the best
please have the respect
i done felt enough pain
i done give you enough
to get where im at it aint a game
im a m a n
im takin a stand
rub me the wrong way and you gonna find out
you dealin with a man

im a man
im a man
im a m-a-n

"Standing by the speaker suddenly I had this
Fever was it me or either summer madness
'Cause I just can't stand around so I get closer
And the closer I get the better it sound
My mind starts to activate rhymes collaborate
'Cause when I heard the beat I just had to make
Something from the top of my head
So I fell into the groove of the wax and I said

How could I move the crowd
First of all, ain't no mistakes allowed
Here's the instruction, put it together
It simple ain't it but quite clever
Some of you been trying to write rhymes for years
But weak ideas irritate my ears
Is this the best that you can make?
'Cause if not and you got more, I'll wait..."

But you got to do what you got to do. You've got the patience of a saint. And the beautiful part is you on the side of what's right have already won. Thanks, Bravenak, for always trying. Like Maya Angelou said you can't always be the catcher but have got to pitch a few, too

Niles Rodgers and his buddies couldn't get in to Studio 54. They wrote a song where they sang 'Fuck Off!' They changed the words to 'Freak Out!' and it was a hit.
