Being “offensive” in a constitutional republic is trivial. The accuser appears childish and unsuitable for public discourse. What is appropriate is being reasonable.
Let’s cease the demagoguery.

FR has been infiltrated by a small cult of ankle-biters who scream racism when blacks are criticized. Acting like the useful idiots that they are, they are working overtime to impose Marxist political correctness on this site.

I generally agree that the being offended card is played far too often. I love the comment one Freeper made: “I am offended that you are offended.” Liberals love to get offended over some supposed or imaginary slight.
However, there are “reasonable” boundaries of decorum and decency. When comments are aimed at things like physical features common for a particular ethnicity, like big noses or lips, those comments are degrading to everyone, make conservatives look petulant, and are ultimately insulting the Creator who will hold all men to account for their words.
I refuse to accept the left-wing vantage point that conservatism is racist. Racism is NOT part of the conservative platform. Yes, there are a lot of FALSE accusations of racism against conservatives. We do not need to turn a blind eye and go into denial when someone on this forum makes racist comments. Not everyone on FR is conservative. And we sometimes get trolls who have a goal of posting comments solely to make conservatives look bad.
BTW, my comments about racism were not directed to you.
