Reply #19: Yep freepers [View All]

You make an excellent point in this sentence

From that pattern comes racism, sexism, religious bigotry, and even the political polarity that causes people to move from fighting bad ideas to fighting the human beings who hold them.


but I'm afraid we're already there.

And even the Freepers know this. I'm a very observant person Auntie Jem, and I have noticed the splintering of the Republican party. Free Repuplic has become so racist that many of its old more moderate posters have stopped posting there- totally disgusted by what the callousness and bigotry they've seen over the last years.

Some Freepers are still clinging to the consoling thought that they have a dark friend or two, that there's a dark person or two posting on their board, but the racism and bigotry is preserved in thread after thread- there for all the world to see.

So yes- Freepers. Fresno, California Freepers for this California racist group.
