Not here; not on FR.
With the exception of those on FR who continually bash me and those around me with broad-brushed strokes that are both insulting and demeaning.
There is no logical reason for it; there is no gentlemanly reason for it; finally, there is no reason that I should have to sit here and have to accept it from you or anyone else.
As I've said elsewhere, this is supposed to be a haven for conservatives and libertarians (little "L") of all stripes - a place where we can have rational and scholarly discussions without having to play footsie to satisfy the racially-tinged whims of people who whine about how nebulous "blacks" are responsible for all the ills in America; a place where I don't have to worry about antagonistic individuals toss all sorts of veiled insinuations and outright insults my way or toward those I care about simply because they are black.
Finally, let's talk about what rdb3 and others have said -- they are as frustrated and angry as I am at the same kinds of things that I am angry about. FR has degenerated into a place where a certain sub-set of the whole has found it wonderful, glorious and "great" to denigrate blacks, and lump us all into an ill-concieved basket. For what reason? Hell, I don't know.
There are some here who want to just pat me on the head, saying 'there, there, we don't really mean to insult you; why don't you just go sit in the corner and be quiet - after all, there aren't really any racists on FR' -- despite myriad evidence to the contrary. There is also evidence of infiltration, both attempted and successful, from places on the web filled with all sorts of white-power-fueled hatred and venom. Yet from some quarters, we're branded alarmists, troublemakers, drama queens.
After reading some of your comments, they can very easily be taken to be not unlike other race-baiters here. At a different time here, they would most likely be taken as food for thought and a solid conversation starter. But at this time, a measure (one I'd hope you could understand, but as a comparative 'newbie', I would be able to forgive you for not understanding) of wariness and defensiveness is the order of the day; I hope that will end, but not today.
Conspiratorial? I report. You decide.
