I have to say that the number of political postings on many channels, mostly repetitive, has gotten very irritating of late. That said, the premise of the censorship based on "your" definition of others is pretty pathetic. Everyone has the option to "ignore" a poster or just skip past what they say. I haven't put anyone on "ignore" but I certainly do skip past many posters on certain threads (not all) because they and others have gone down the rabbit hole again.
I'll add that I like a robust political discussion as much as the next person, but what I see here isn't a discussion as much as labelling and intransigence. The title of this whole thread just bears that out. Labelling someone you don't know a "racist" based on some slivers of posts that don't "agree" with your position is pathetically weak.
To me
@Sheriff Joe has been trolling for a long time here, successfully I might add, even amusingly at times.
@The Outlaw throws out facts which are just that, contextually not quite what they seem to be at times (*) but facts none the less, so debate on that. Anyone with strong convictions should be happy to debate on facts.
No country or society is perfect. The US has many problems and enormous opportunities and potential. My hope is that we take this opportunity to move forward, work on solving the problems and harnessing the potential to make our country better. My expectation is not that - it's sad to be honest.
(*) For example, its a fact that more whites are killed by the police than blacks, but its also a fact that blacks are killed at a proportionally higher rate than whites, just as they are arrested & convicted higher rates. As
@The Outlaw has stated blacks are 19% of the population versus 62% white, so take his "killed by police" facts and do the math.
