Were a self-described black FReeper to use derogatory epithets about whites, the post would likely be pulled.

There is also a subset of FReepers who have appointed themselves the racism police and will hit abuse if a post strikes them as having a slight hint of racism.

I continue to wonder why the abstract fear of 'the R word'.
Everybody is racist to some degree, some more than others, but anybody who claims to 'not have a racist bone in their body' is lying.
