Its baselessness should be shoved in their face and they should have to answer for it. Not that this forum has many conservatives or Haitians in the audience.

It's tamping, not spreading, is my point. Pointing and laughing is useful.

No, I don't think there is but stereotypes live off of the apathy of those not willing to dispell them.

If I change the tone and said something like" If I had enough money I'd gather all those shelter dogs like a greedy Jew".


Then perhaps you can better understand what I'm getting at.

Nah, I think you're overreacting. You know the context. You know the speaker. You know the intent.

If you think an administrator here is pushing what would be obviously bullshit content, take it up in your moderating thread. But her making a joke about an American political meme is not a comment about your new dog, nor is it pushing any message other than "here, let's have a laugh".

And to be clear, I'm happy you've found and rescued this pup. No doubt you both will be happier for it.
