Some folks are so full of themselves they want to control how others express what they think. I think they're bat-sh** crazy. Do you too?.

And it could be argued that if racists, sexists and other haters express themselves openly, we at least know the truth about them and can choose to avoid them in future. 

There is a problem with that though; words can in fact cause serious and long term harm in numerous ways. Generally, the freer racists are to be overt in their practices, the greater the proliferations of organisations like the KKK - which is evidently what is now happening in many places.

With the complete domination of all political activity by the donjohn  the racists/bigot/haters have come out from under their rocks and sheets and now proudly march carrying signs that indicate they have ARRIVED and are here to stay. In what usta be the good old US of A!Now it is no longer good and getting worse every day. Of course the folks who endorse it adore it. SIGH. Thank you for your reply Hartfire. Woe is us. We are getting woeier every day. How low can woe go? I guess we shall find out. This post was edited by RosieG at December 21, 2017 12:24 PM MST

Now with the Internet, people seem to proudly boast their hate.  I always take note of those that use it with no care.  I watch people that will make broad statements about others.  Politics is one of those things, along with racism, and sexism.  It seems some people will go way below the belt over nothing these days.  I often wonder what they are like behind closed doors.
