An open letter to Skinner (POSTED IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN FORUM)

96. It's hard to imagine

And I hear ya, but think some of these people that sit on juries these days pretty regularly know who the Hillary supporters are and who has made the Sanders people deal with things they still don't want to deal with on their own terms and with their own definitions like race. Sadly I think it's very likely that either they saw it was you and a post with the N word and thought no further or they just didn't do their due diligence which involves just a couple more clicks. I'm afraid it was some very lazy juroring. The only reason I say this is in 15 years here on DU, I've never seen anything like the racism this appears to be.

These people are also playing a game to stick people with enough hides that they can't post. And that's another thing they may be doing with you. I got a hide a couple of weeks ago for replying to one of the most vocal of them. My response enraged her even more. She alerted and because she did the alerting and I was replying to her, my post was his. I should have alerted on her post, but why waste the time and effort. In another time, her post would have been hidden.

Not that there's not been racism here. And I've never seen racism here like I have in this Hillary-Sanders thing. Its been everything including telling Blacks how and why to think something because they know better than anyone else or insinuating that Blacks here just aren't as smart as they are, and more.

But I think laziness and vengeful partisanship are at the core of the problem with the jury system.

I just hope I'm right and it's not the worst and you are right. If it is and it's allowed, I'm outa here for good.
