I lurked here for about 2 years before joining this site 2 1/2 years ago.Roger that!I have never seen anything on here that comes close to the hate, foul language, and filth that permeates sites like dailykos or DU.

Message to Bill O'Reilly (From a Black Freeper)

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.
