I am daily stunned at a whole host of bigoted positions that remain visible right here on FR

That's quite a charge AJ.

Care to cite any specific examples???

It’s not uncommon in threads about Barack Obama’s family (e.g., Michelle Obama’s appearance) to find remarks that have been removed by the moderator and if you catch them before they’ve been removed, they’ve almost always been removed because they are bigoted and cross the line. I’ve also had threads pulled by the moderators because they linked back to sites that, to give one example, advocated treating minorities as children to be handled because the site believed them genetically too stupid to ever succeed. Then there are the black-on-white crime threads and threads where some people like to assumed that any unidentified assailant is black or hispanic (in several cases, that assumption was wrong). When I see blatant racism, I push the abuse button and it often gets pulled. That it gets pulled does not change the fact that it gets put there in the first place. I’ll see if I can find you some current examples, though. They usually aren’t that hard to find.
