Hi Bill,
I've been a subscriber to Free Republic for about two years. I've been involved in a lot of Freeper discussion groups and have led several threads, including one where I identified myself as a black Freeper, with no blatantly racial kickback. What the Freeper spokesman should have mentioned is that the discussion threads are SELF-POLICING...when someone gets out of line, my experience has been that somewhere down the thread, THEY WILL BE CALLED ON IT. Free Republic is first and foremost, a meeting place for conservatives. The discussions run overwhelmingly along ideological lines, that at times have racial subtexts. I have NEVER experienced blatant racism on the site. If I did I would challenge it, and so would others.

Good job.
Please tell me you sent this to him! I hope his screners got an eyefull!
Well put.
Good on ya’ Stajack
Did O’Reilly imply that Free Republic is racist?
God Bless and never leave.
Well Said Sir.
Would you please give me some background on this?
Was someone referring to FR as racist?
Also as a Black Freeper, I have attended many Freeper events both in DC and here in Texas. My experiences have been NOTHING but positive. I call many freepers friends and family, whatever color they are.
Jim Robinson has visited my city and he is a man of distinction, and Kristinn Taylor I consider a man of integrity and honor and a true friend.
I would appreciate the “I hate blacks” post pointed out to me so that we can refute the “Right Wing Hate Site” Label
I agree FR is better because “news” is posted but the facts can also be so a better picture of the situation can be understood.
What the Freeper spokesman should have mentioned
He's a goof, he can't even drive.
Stanley, your remarks speak well for yourself as you have spoken well about Free Republic as well.
Great post! I’ve been here seven years and what you’re saying is true. We police ourselves.

Where’s Trueblackman tonight? He’s darkly suntanned too........
Give us some context FRiend!
What’s O’Reilly up to???
If O’Reilly wants to blame us all for what he claims (without verification) to be the words of one of us, that’s his prerogative.
But he won’t say it to my face without being exposed as a pandering fool.
