You know, when I first came here to FR, I was impressed by the intelligent and thoughtful comments and humor from most FReepers. I was more left leaning at that time and reading FR at the end of the xlinton years helped turned me around.
Lately, there have been a few comments similar to the one you made on various threads. I didn’t used to see much of that here. You’re free to say what you want, I suppose, but if I were a black person questioning my own political, economic and social ideas - that kind of insulting gibe would turn me off to this place and that’s not what we are about. We want to win people to the right side, not scare them off.
