I saw exactly TWO posts pulled by the mods. Take it up with them. Real racism? Really? I see very little of it on FR.

In some threads about the Obamas, particularly about Michelle and her appearance, I've seen a half-dozen or more replies marked as removed by moderator and I recently questioned a whole thread that was pulled when I clicked through to the source and saw it talking about whites having to control and manage minorities who will never have the capacity to achieve the American dream. Further, I've seen the tone of plenty of threads shift from a trip down the memory lane of Good Times, Sanford and Son, and the Jeffersons as well as impresonations of Jim from Huck Finn simply by calling such comments into question.

Good Times, Sanford and Son, and the Jeffersons

Big deal. No different than The Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres and Petticoat Junction. If we're going to be that sensitive, we might as well hang it up.

When side by side photos of Hillary and the Wicked Witch of the West are posted, that's fine. But post a picture of Michelle Obama next to one of Aunt Esther and it's racist?

That double standard doesn't fly.
