"So if someone in your comments says that all white people are bad, we should assume that is your view as well?"
Why are conservatives so fucking fond of hypotheticals and false analogies, is what I want to know. . . a better question would be, "So if someone in your comments says that 'Miss vietnam usa was a complete rigged..the winner already knew the judges ahead of time,' we should assume that is your view as well?"
Not the same sitch, of course, since I have the advantages of lower traffic, fewer comments, more intelligent readers, charm, good looks and a shitty attitude. So it's easier for me to read each and every comment, and delete anything I don't like the looks of.
This is no more infringing on free speech or suppressing alternate points of view than walking away from some idjit at a bar.
Except I own the bar and I'm the bouncer.
Which is stretching that metaphor within an inch of the poor thing's life.
No, if someone in comments says that all white people are bad, it means someone very stupid has managed to find their way here and figure out how to post a comment. If several someones have an extended conversation about how all white people are bad, and I don't step in. . . you might have a case.
Usually, though, it's someone posting "WHITE POWER" for several screens, or telling me how ignorant I am, me being a nigger and all. I've been linked by what I'd consider racist black folks, but they rarely pipe up. Racist white folks, that's a whole 'nother story.
As evidenced by recent events.
Hope that answers your question! Now you know, and knowing's half the battel!
