They are a boil on my butt. They think they're not racist, when reality is they're prime pickings for a hate group.

I posted about it here, not to spread the hate/ignorance, but rather looking for kindred souls.

Sometimes thats what DU is for some of us. A haven in the storm of hate and ignorance.

My point is, different people come here for different reasons. Yet, we're mostly all seeking the same goals.
