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.

Any of those type of comments are totally unacceptable if they appear.
I would hope those making them would leave this forum if they are wired to think that way.

Here is a good example of a typical "black crime" thread:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2364632/posts

Among the comments you'll find in this thread (which are fairly typical for this sort of thread:

From by Bryanw92:

And who says blacks don’t have strong families? How many white moms would help their kid commit murder?

From GeorgiaDawg32:

35-year-old Tarranisha Davis and her 15-year-old son, Tremaine.

Since race wasn’t mentioned, I’m guessing those pesky Amish have the strangest names..

From Duffboy:

But, her fiance’ says she’s inn-o-cin’.

From garyhope:

Who knows what the hell kind of name “Tarranisha” is. Oh, wait a minute, I do know what kind of name it is.

From Frank_2001:

“Wha’ dey call y’alls?”

“Tarranisha!”

“Would dat be wit’ one r , or two?”

From AEMILIUS PAULUS:

What’z impotent is dee bama am president.

From mountn man:

Amish with a tan.

She seems to have the same scowl as our "presidents" wookie wife

That's just one thread. There are many more like that. Want more? I'm sure I can find worse.
