I would suggest that many of the over the line racist comments on this forum have been made by folks that are not friends of the forum. We know of several instances where posts were made by people, then recorded to present to the media as "what really went on" over at FreeRepublic. Most of the folks I know here wouldn't dream of trashing blacks or anyone else, however there are times when addressing truth and real issues it doesn't always reflect well on some minorities. But then the truth doesn't always reflect well on whites either. The truth is the truth. Other than that we should all watch what we say. I've probably made a blanket statement from time to time that was inappropriate, but I do not harbor ill will toward any ethinic group. We're all human. I'd just like to think that most of us try to be fair.
You are spot on, my friend. Most of what might be accused as racism here is just truth without the whipped cream. I don't think any true Freeper harbors ill will for any race, although sometimes our statements might be misconstrued (sp?) Ignoring cultural differences of the races can be just as bigoted as exploiting them. The point I am trying to make is that true racism is not tolerated here; not by the "populace," nor by the management.
It cracks me up to watch liberals say that blacks, hispanics, women, aren't smart enough, or hard working enough, to make a living. Therefore, we, the WASPS, must provide for them, like pets. And they call us racists.
