First of all, the term "person of color" (or POC) is one used by leftists and had no place in the world's foremost Conservative forum. Political correctness is shunned here at Free Republic and FReepers use precise (and scientific) terms for such individuals): black, negro, colored, African, Mexican and so on.
Secondly, and respectfully given your impressive tenure here, your post seems to imply that FReepers judge a given situation by the skin complexion of the involved individual. I've been reading this forum regularly since September 16, 2001 and have never seen even the slightest indication of knee-jerk racism here. The one and only time it happened was back in July 2009 during the taxpayer-supported hussein family trip to France. There were some offensive (but somewhat humorous) barbs directed at hussein's brood. The truth became evident shortly after the posts appeared -- they were leftist infiltrators. Once that was determined, the fast-acting moderators pulled the entire thread.
FReepers are Conservative and base their evaluations on an individual basis not on skin color or heritage. As slam dumk proof of that assertion, consider the popularity that Herman Cain had here back in the 2012 election cycle. Likewise, Ted Cruz, of Cuban heritage on his father's side, is very well-liked here. Finally, the boss (whom I've courtesy pinged since I refer to him in this post) clearly states these rules for posts here:
NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.
And that alone undermines your innuendo that there's a racist undertone in this forum for Conservative activism.
You really need to learn to recognize sarcasm when you see it.
I appreciate your ardent response and your commitment to sound principles and values.
Please permit me to respond.
We in FReeperdom all recognize the “/s” sarcasm tag. We also know the impact of its omission.
My post was one of sarcasm- that a story about a LEO-driver interaction will only get “legs” if the (leftist moniker) driver is a POC.
Didn’t mean for you to get riled up. I can understand why you did.
You need not report me any longer to Mr. Robinson. Promise ;-)
Sheesh...lighten up francis.
Wow! That post blew right over your head. Sometimes a sarc tag is just not needed (I thought). Guess you prove me wrong.
