ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Sexist, racist post. Please hide this, it doesn't belong on DU.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Dec 30, 2015, 08:27 AM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Yet more DU alert troll ridiculousness. Somebody doesn't like what something says, so they want it to go away? So now we're alerting on Salon articles that discuss New York Times editorials? Get your little dick out of your holster and face the reality of the situation - White guys are a problem. Not the only problem, but a problem, and one worthy of discussion. I am a white guy, so I have a little insight. We were told all our lives that we were the shit, and then when the shit hit the fan, it turns out we're just like everyone else - human. Unfortunately, there's a subset of white guys who can't take it, they can't stand losing their privilege, so they've decided to go out with a bang, and take a few innocents with them. This is what this piece is about, and if you can't handle it, maybe you should leave the planet, because it's going to get worse before it gets better...
