Hey Mike,
Sorry, didn't mean for you to have to close the thread you started. I know how delicate issues like that can be on a discussion forum and as you can see from my first post in the thread politics were the last thing on my mind. However, when cbrlocal blamed black inner city conditions on blacks alone, referenced Clinton's emails and suggested the ultra-conservative writer Heather MacDonald as "recommended reading", well, I just don't feel like I can look the other way and let right-wing mis-information like that stand these days. There's just too much of it that goes unchallenged.
I commend your intent, but people are people and we all have our opinions. And you know what those are often compared to.
