On edit: FINALLY now a "missing topic." Glad you missed it and it was deleted before becoming another "Best of DU" entry.

2. Is it just me being "too sensitive"
or is the tolerance for blatantly racist posts getting higher and higher?
There's more slime today to replace the one that got "disappeared..." :(

3. I don't think so
the blatantly racist posts seem to be pulled as usual. Threads that are insensitive or down-right ignorant, esp. if by higher-count posters, don't seem to be locked or pulled as fast as in the past.

4. I was really appalled
at how long they were allowed to continue. Maybe I need to take a break. It's beginning to depress me...

5. I'm glad I mised that post
I'm considering taking a break also. I have been shocked at the amount of racism that exists on this board. It's worse because many of these posted are so ingrained in their views that they refuse to admit they are wrong.

They wonder why blacks have such a low voter turnout. They feel that it's a choice between 2 white men who really don't care about their issues.

6. I'm glad I didn't see that post.
I would have definitely ruined my good girl image here at DU. :)
