@ chessplayer re. post 249: I make no claims to be an expert on Derbyshire. That’s not the point of my concern; my concern is Free Republic is being accused of being racist when that describes, at most, a tiny minority of Freepers. But the links you and others post to Derbyshire’s views with headlines such as “I am a racist” are disturbing, to say the least.

I only put it there to show that tiny minority of FReepers what kind of a person they think is so wonderful. I agree there should be no room for racism, here.

Understood and agreed, Chessplayer. I don't know enough about Derbyshire to have an opinion on him. I do have strong opinions about racism. There's no excuse for blaming people for the color of their skin, only for what they have or have not done.
