Why did he leave FreeRepublic?
Check out the threads on "WE SHUT DOWN THE BRIDGE."
The festering racism was a last straw. I can only believe he's gone permanently, though there was no opus to let us know for sure.
The Stormfronters chased him (and RDB3) off.

Most people were having fun (the intent of the thread), but many were using ghetto/jive speak to represent Nagin. Do you think that is appropriate? Or would make a black person feel welcome here?
I am glad people are finally speaking out. I figured my sign-up was too recent to say much.
Some people on the forum have been rather caustic lately. Saying all sorts of things, and even race-baiting, and then claiming they are just asking 'honest questions' (even though they always seem to have all sorts of obtuse 'answers' ready). I guess MHKing just got ill of constantly defending himself from such people. He even says so in one thread where he states he has had enough of defending himself and his values, as well as all African-Americans, from those who deem it appropos to paint all of us with a broadbrush. I personally know it can get rather insane at times ....
Anyways, it is a great loss to FR to lose RDB3 and MHKing. They were true gems to the forum.
Check out mhking's home page on FR -- lights out for a while.
Sorry to see you go, Michael -- I hope you really will be back.

Everybody is prejudiced in some form or another. The people who say they have no prejudice, I have found are the most hypocritical. Few are racist. Most rise above whatever "prejudgments" they make and learn to know and appreciate people. These people can't. Their racism and dark side was lurking and just waiting to come out. Blacks in general have been broad brushed on this site and the effect is the loss of important members so that a bunch of morons can act like the jackasses they are.
Another step down the ladder for the once great site.
MHKING was worth a thousand of these idiots. He added something besides racist one liners to the site.
All the race baiting over Katrina. He said he had to fight liberals every day of his life because he is a conservative and now some of the people on FR were putting him on the defensive over his race and he no longer feels welcome here. Sad. He is a truly decent human being.
