Since BigMediaBlog is still down during its move to a new host, we're conducting today's DU thread here.
When you see a post at DU with the title My son was called a "cracker" at school today you might expect a few people to be shocked at the racism. However, out of around 300 or so comments, you might expect most of them to put the word "cracker" in the "proper perspective." And, you might expect a few people to joke about it, as if being called "cracker" is no big deal. And, you might expect a few people welcoming being called a "cracker" because of white people's collective sins against the Oppressed. And, of course, you'd be right. Noxious "liberal" racism distilled into 300 fairly easy-to-read comments.
And, on the semi-useful front, comes "Concentration Camps in U.S."....how real is this??? One of those supposed camps is above Brand Park in Glendale. Having been there a few times I've seen the catchment basin, but I don't recall having seen any prison-style buildings. That doesn't mean that there might not be other facilities elsewhere, and FEMA definitely has various "contingency" plans.
