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.

More than that I will get a hide. Actually I may still get one.

(11,833 posts)I think that's what I'm going to do when I see an inane post.
Just type -- .
By the way, I love that John Lennon song.
I hope C K is reading here and see (and hear!) how much we appreciate him.
That song brings tears to my eyes and hope to my heart. Daddy helped make the monsters gone. He is on the run.
ChitownKev is a beautiful boy. Yes a man now. We have your back here Kev.
We can help Kev here.
lovemydog.

Is there a way to say the same thing without getting getting it hidden?
Like instead of saying 'Fuck Off!' say 'Freak Out!' or something like that?

(16,286 posts)All my hides are when I point out racism on DU.

(24,544 posts)impossible not to.
Can you post a link to what happened??
bravenak
(34,648 posts)it is! Kevin being honest as hell.
Number23
(24,544 posts)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.
bravenak
(34,648 posts)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.
Number23
(24,544 posts)group propped her up as some sort of goddess is probably the funniest thing I've seen all month.
Where is the Brother Ivan post?? Is he back now??

Number23
(24,544 posts)Gone for months and comes back just to get caught up in that woman's drama. He should have just stayed gone.
And saw that EarlG had to come and lock it. That's embarrassing. He really should have just stayed gone.

(34,648 posts)It's in my trash can even though it's locked.

(34,648 posts)I think sometimes admin deletes them from my box before I can see them. Mirt bans them and the messages dissappear. He hates me. Do does FYWM (fuck yeah white men). He send me messages all over the internet. Everybody in mirt knows about DTG (death threat guy). I hope he gets caught by somebody soon. He needs extra help.

(24,544 posts)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.

(34,648 posts)I do not fucking believe this shit. I keep laughing.

bravenak
(34,648 posts)JI7
(89,251 posts)and she pretended to be tinoire's sister. but it was the same person.
there was a big thing during that huge earthquake/tsunami about 10 years ago . she was posting about how US weapons testing or something caused the whole thing. it was printed in some paper and the admin had to write a response to it about how they do not believe in the conspiracy theories.
bravenak
(34,648 posts)The more I learn the more HAPPY I am that I never interacted with her.
JI7
(89,251 posts)when she came back as "her sister" . so all the stuff with putin is nothing surprising to me.
but the twitter and attacks on others do show how hateful and angry she is with others. and yet people think they are defending black people when they defend her calling others the N word.
bravenak
(34,648 posts)You know, this is just the stupidest and most hilarious thing I have ever seen here. Everytime I think that it cannot get any stranger, IT DOES!! The very next day. I vow to stop talking to any and all of those people who support this nasty. Ignore function will be used in a major way just like I am trashing any and all stupid groups filled with CTs and idiots.

(31,849 posts)makes me feel wholly humbled ... ChiTownKev is one of them ... and I don't have a problem with that!
NanceGreggs
(27,815 posts)... 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.

As others have said, he's one of those posters where you just immediately like him. Whenever I see his posts I kind of jump up and go 'Now that's something I want to consider!'
Of course, I feel that way about the posts of everyone in this group.

(11,833 posts)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...'

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.

Here's the instruction, put it together
