Ex Lurker

I've noticed a pattern recently [View all]

Whenever Black people are accused of behaving badly, it gets posted here. It feeds the RW narrative and obfuscates the very real and systemic violence done to Black people every day. That there isn't MORE violence is a testament to the patience and forebearance of Black people. DU shouldn't be promoting this stuff.
