Reply #18: It saddens me to see DU'ers make arguments like this. [View All]

When I stareted at DU there was a lot of racism and sexism and ignorance about tax policy. After about a year, the tide started to turn. The sexism dropped way off. The unenlightened comments about race went from about 80% in some threads to, like 20%. And people started to learn about tax.

Since the campaign started and since the majority Dean supporters hear have started to have to defend some of the crazier things Dean says, we've seen DU'er argue against progressive taxation, and now we're seeing people start to argue that AA shouldn't be about race and gender and that it should be about class.

This is very sad.
