re: #287 Obdicut

Hopefully a person can post a dissenting viewpoint here without first being personally attacked. My post was also a test, that if I can post something respectful (with no lewd or insult to anyone personally) would it be possible to get a first response that is just as civilized?

Obdicut, the irony of your first sentence is simply sad, again - I find more and more credence to the view that the level of tolerance to different viewpoints here is sadly lacking.

Of course not 100% of wha Shaprton and Jackson has done is race baiting - that’s a non-sequitur.

I would say that the mainstream view that they often race bait and are self proclaimed “Leaders of African Americans” (I have even witnessed some African American cringe when they are referred too)

I would say that for the most part they are race-baiters - I don’t see the question illegitimate.
