Hold up there, FR doesn’t tollerate Racism. So heck yea the post should have been removed.
I suffered racism as a child, I know what it’s all about. FR is not even slightly Racist. Does that mean that screwballs from DU or Kos don’t come here posing as FReepers only to pop off onto racist crap oh yes it happens, often. And they get banned, rightly so. Where the line gets drawn is when a REPORTER posing as a neutral credible source plants this crap, posts it at Kos and then reports it as if he didn’t have anything to do with it. Thats pure 100% BS.
That is the fault of the idiots posting that crap, NOT Free Republic, which has the RIGHT to remove posts and articles it considers as offensive. It’s policies are clearly statedd, and absolutely fair. If people don’t like those policies, they are free to just read or not, and or go to another site to post on.
Please, back off of Jim and FR, they are NOT deserving of any beat down, they did the right thing, by EVERYONE.
Racism should not be tolerated, either from the form where someone practices racism against another or some “victim” of racism tries to get something for it. Both are using racism to further their own ends and BOTH are wrong. I can speak with authority on this, I have suffered it, and never have I asked anything for it, I rose above it and did my thing and succeeded.
FR doesn’t tolerate it. Good on em!
Great reply - thanks for the comment.
