Where did all the vitriol about "color" come from?
I am reconsidering putting my art challenge in there today. I am appalled...

(22,871 posts)the howls coming from the religious right as they realize they're on the wrong side of history and that makes me feel better. If that doesn't work I try to think about raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens.

(15,309 posts)that where I live we never have snow. Much less yellow snow. Therefore, I have not seen it, it does not exist. So I should not concern myself with it and no one should ever discuss it evernever again.
for your listening pleasure.
seabeyond
(110,159 posts)thanks for that video. look at those hairstyles, lol
snowblind, ... so fuggin funny. how did you dig that up.
mercuryblues
(15,309 posts)LOL. As I was reading that thread, the song came to mind. I have been a rock and roller since I 1st heard Queen on the radio, when I was about 12.
Hey, don't laugh at those hairstyles. I probably had a few of them myself.

(529 posts)There seem to be so many telling us what we can/cannot discuss, telling gay posters that they don't face that much hate, or mocking black people for being offended by something. Did people here start turning on others since Bush left office (thereby taking away our main opposition), or has it always been this way?

(55,033 posts)I don't know that they do that. They would simply lock it. Also it was late at night. They weren't around. I suspect he self-deleted because he was sick of people telling him what they thought.

CTyankee
(65,432 posts)so I thought I'd ask if I am overreacting...lately, I'm feeling discouraged.
Tuesday Afternoon
(56,912 posts)and No, You are not overreacting.
I am pretty sad about what I am watching and, I feel pretty left out of the loop. I guess the PM Brigade is out in full force.
Maybe that is a good thing.
I just don't know any more.

(22,336 posts)so they've moved on to the AA group?
Or maybe this is another part of the same exact thing - white male privilege fighting for life. They just move back and forth denying the problems of women and people of color.
I have no idea but it is sad, and at the same time maybe good for DU as a whole to see their true colors exposed. So to speak.
JustAnotherGen
(33,938 posts)But the thing is - they'll be back my friends. Oh - trust me on that. Whatever the heck is going on here lately - they'll be back. Me? I have the joy of being a black feminist. Oh happy happy joy joy for me!
Grab a bottle of champagne and let's enjoy the moment of silence before the 'party' starts again.
Here's to the ones at DU I love!

JustAnotherGen
(33,938 posts)Is wondering why I'm posting pics of Big D (DiCaprio) at DU!
seabeyond
(110,159 posts)i thought the big d was reference to the hubby.

(53,661 posts)I saw Tyrese Gibson in Fast and Furious 2 today. I could watch that man all day long:
I'd never gone in for the bald headed look, but I might have to rethink that. Still, Richard will always have a special place in my heart.
seabeyond
(110,159 posts)You know when he first did the interview I was all that, not impressed. Over the ensuing weeks listening to him with different issues, I gotta say he found a special place in my heart too. Was cheering him on

freshwest
(53,661 posts)I'm totally out of it, don't even watch TV. So most of this stuff just goes right over my head. I had enough of TV long before 2008, and watched stuff on youtube during the Bush reign of terror. I didn't even want to hook up the cable again until the inauguration when people said I just had to watch it.
So I did, and promptly called my broadband + landline + cable company and told them to cut it all off but TWC and SCAN.
I hate most of the stuff that's on as a sensory overload, the RW stuff pollutes the spirit. So there are some discussions I don't get into at all.
The local mania prior to the Superbowl got me to watch youtube videos of the players and I fell in love with Richard. Best to love 'em from afar, safer that way, haha.
And I didn't even get to see all of the F&F2, as we turned the sound off for the meeting. I like to read, that's why I'm here at DU.
KitSileya
(4,035 posts)Not to mention Paul Walker, may he rest in peace, who was really under-appreciated as an actor, I think.
The first Fast and the Furious movie has one of the better love stories on film, I think. When Brian O'Connor risks his entire career to make sure Dom Torretto manages to escape? That, my friend, is love.

JustAnotherGen
(33,938 posts)But she didn't know who she was saying that to. The poster she posted that to I'm convinced could be rocket scientist if she had the shot at the education. Brilliant woman and one who has very little tolerance for nonsense. Handed her ass to her!

(65,432 posts)for a while there I felt like I was on a different planet all of a sudden. I grew more horrified as I read further. I wondered if I was just blind to the real DU and if so, what was I doing here? I don't mean to beat this to death, but I felt that "chill wind" blow...
seabeyond
(110,159 posts)wasnt hittting your radar. that is all. it took a while to progress to this point. now a person can not hardly not see.
we do not want the site to be this. so we do what we need to make sure it is not, one way or another.
some of us yell and scream, rant and rave. others bring culture to us, and are all about showing us classy.

(42,486 posts)My teenage years were similar in that there was too much death-- I was a chronic runaway, and lived downtown with male and a few female prostitutes and lots of street people just before AIDS hit hard. Then-- they were all gone, all dead. Took me years to realize how much that effected me.
I do know that kind of thing shapes who you are.
