that's BS. leave it, that's my opinion. i hope she gets enough flak that she learns something about herself and her bigotry. maybe she'll grow from the experience.

9. I was going to say the same thing
Racism is never ok..

For the OP, we don't want to become that same thing that we claim to hate now do we?
Food for thought:hi:

3. By all means, leave it up!
Link to it from every corner of your website. Make sure that anyone who visits finds it.

Expose her for what she is: racist scum.

16. Exactly
Edited on Wed Jul-16-08 12:56 PM by JimmyJubes
If this was posted on a conservative forum there would be hundreds of people who would make sure not only 6 comments were posted.
I think you underscore something that I hope will change from 4 years ago. We need to support each other on issues like this.
I don't know if you are being sarcastic or what.
But by the way 18 people posted on it and most cared.(yes I think only one was from this forum but 1 person who cared)

7. Yes leave it up
Since she was dumb enough to include her email address, she deserves every comment she finds in her inbox.

10. I agree. Don't sweep it under the rug
People often surround themselves with other people of like mind... they start to think that their wierd views are "the norm" so they go out and share their particular brand of crazy.

It will be good for her and the world to let her feel how stupid and alone she is.

19. Leave it up, she'll get hatemail
and she might even realize that she needs to change her way of thinking about others. Maybe some meaningful progress can come of it.

20. Allow me to play devil's advocate. What if the idiot who typed that is NOT Ms. A.Z.?
What if it's someone who typed that to cause grief to the real A.Z.? You can't know.

23. Just for the Record
Edited on Wed Jul-16-08 03:40 PM by JimmyJubes
I just throw the stuff up. The guys do the rest.
Every person who posts of course doesn't get verified if they are giving a fake email or not.

However I can assure you that the name and email on that post came from that email address.

That said I would have deleted that post if I had any doubt.

Also I was conflicted but I thought as many of you said she would grow. Which is why if you do post I ask you nicely tell her she is wrong.

I would like to thank the few people who posted from the DU as well.

25. Someone should ask her if she thought that Bush looked like a chimp.
And if she ever felt the need to post it on a blog.

26. This whole thread has got my "Things are not what they seem" radar going.
If this was sent to me as a story, I would send it back for a rewrite. As best I can tell, the only point seems to be to get that silly New Yorker cover in yet another thread at DU, one with a catchy title that will generate lots of interest.
