In reply to the discussion: DU ... Just So You Know, It's NOT Our Imagination ... [View all]rbrnmw
(7,160 posts)366. I would like for some of you to consider something
It may not necessarily all be coming from Right-wing trolls. I think their may be a few posters that would never vote republican or visit free-republic, that are racists. I think we need to acknowledge that. There are people on the left who can be every bit as racist as someone from the Tea Party. They may vote straight democratic tickets but still have stereotypical views of black folks.
