          … to mock it and the sentiment expressed by it. Not to organize a harassment campaign.

              I’d agree, but I’d also say that organizing a bunch of strangers to harass her is unlikely to accomplish anything unless we’re willing to keep it up over an extended period of time (and even then, what is accomplished may not be what is desired), and at that point, we probably could do more productive things to shame racists with our time.

              I’d tend to agree, but that doesn’t mean folks should bitch at PugJesus about it. If oehm wants it done differently, he should do it himself.

            Alright that’s fair. The person in the post just pissed me off first thing this morning I wasn’t really thinking rationally

              It’s cool. On the list of things worth getting pissed about, slavery apologia is definitely near the top.

          No you’re right we’ll just be blind and let this fester. Things are wrong with society so we should be either ignorant of it or give up on it. I’m so sick of thinking, why can’t I be entitled to constant comfort and freedom like I was promised as a child in the 80s?
