I don't know if this is news to you, but Dkos is mainly a majority of lilly white priveledged WASPS who've never known discrimination and have so many perks handed to them just for being born a lighter shade of pale that they cannot even see the advantages they are given for their melatonin deficiency.
I guess that would be OK if these pink nerd wanna-bes were conscious and considerate to the different lives given to those who have color in their skin and the offenses made daily that go under the radar about having skin pigment, but these crackers not only aren't considerate of their colored peers, they are downright ignorant and red-neckish when confronted with any racial issue.
(Except for feeling self-righteous when they can help the poor black child who was left to drown in N'Orleans, after all what is a middle class squeaky clean untouched white hetero to do but give up some of that sushi money and help the poor brothers and sisters? It's only right.)
So where are those brothers and sisters on Dkos? Well other than a few token coloreds here, they are probably getting on with daily life, not sitting on their bumpy glow in the dark asses pretending they are political junkies when all they do is read the MSM and reguritate it all back here as a breaking story - when they should be working - while they are making easily over the poverty line wages.
This is no diverse democratic tolerant hip place for people of all colors to discuss politics (especially the politics of living as a person of color or woman in a sexist society or homosexual (but IF you are a white male homosexual that's OK, because your stock is rising.)
NO, this is a clique, mostly men, mostly white, mostly college educated and mostly heterosexual. I know we have our fringes here and there and you may come out of the woodwork now so desparately holding on to the priveledge here you think you have, but if you don't agree with this mostly male, white, educated, straight group, they will just scoff and deny anything you have to say, after all they are liberated and are for YOUR rights, so be glad or they could squash you under their thumbs like their fathers, brothers, cousins and sisters have and still do.
This is the watering hole of bored middle managers, self-employed, neo-hippies, nerd-lites, pretend geeks and suburbia dwellers. It's a psuedo-intellectual place for the caucasions who don't wanna be bullied by the caucasions with the power complex. They wanna be free to smoke their weed and have abortions and mess around on the side - those are their issues, not your old second class citizen minority harping. It's done with anyway, you're equal so stop bugging them.
If you're a minority, go along or shut up, but don't rock the boat or you will be flung over the side with the sharks. My point is DKos is so white you need sunglasses to read it, so male the screen is sticky, so straight that gays aren't a threat and so priveledged that anyone who points this out will be stoned (or accused of being stoned.)
I hate lilly white towns and Dkos is one. There really ought to be a way to encourage colored people to be members here, but when one colored member brings up something that they find offensive and are riddled from all sides, I can see why they wouldn't feel welcome here.
For you hemp wearing, vegan tech wall street journal reading self-deluded liberals, just know you are just like your parents and hanging out in an exclusive club - The Lilly White Liberal Watering Hole.
Time for me to find another joint.
