Seems DU may have a lot of bigots as members per the definition.

161. Hmmmm

The answers to those questions are Yes, no, yes, yes.

If you work for someone who is a racist or a bigot, than you are supporting them on some level even if you personally disagree with them. Other jobs are available.

If you attend a church where some people express ugly ideas, you are supporting those ideas by your presence even if you disagree with them.

If you participate at DU you are adding to the numbers that make this one of the major Democratic Message Boards - ugly views posted here have a greater prominence because you choose to participate here.

However, in response to 3 and 4, you can look at the totality of what is said. There might be some things you disagree with at a Church, but many more that you agree with - and if you find spiritual sustenance there, than you can take it as a whole. By the same token, while you might occasionally see some really ugly views at DU, presumably most of what you see is good insightful thoughts that encourage you to be better informed.

The counterpoint is that if you believe that religion is only negative (as some posting here clearly do) than there's no reason to support it other than meanness.
